Seven Things About Misty of mistysmornings.blogspot.com:


◙

I am a Targetaholic.  I try not to go there everyday but now that Starbucks is inside, it can be very hard to stay away.  Many people have toured my house and asked, "Where did you get that cute thing?" and the answer is always, "At Target."  They are amazed.  Soon they are telling me about all their great Target finds.  Spread the love!

♦

Soy profesora de español e inglés.  I couldn't decide whether to major in Spanish or English so I majored in both and taught every grade, 6-12, in the the seven years post college graduation.  I haven't taught a day since the birth of my first son which just so happens to have been nine years ago yesterday.  

♀♂

Sadly my father passed away when I was two and a half years old.  I grew up in a household of women only: my mother, sister and myself.  God gave me all boys.  Sometimes I think I hear Him chuckling.

♥

My husband and I were engaged to be married and while digging through papers saved since childhood we found a dating survey from our 8th grade year.  Guess who had been his number one dating match?  Yep - yours truly.  Did he ask me out?  Nope.  At least not then.  It took a ride home from college with a mutual friend to finally get us together.  We displayed that survey at our rehearsal dinner as "proof" we were meant to be.


†

I am a Roman-Catholic convert by way of Presbyterian Sunday school, Assembly of God youth group and Lutheran college.  Praise be to God for all those beautiful paths I walked along my journey home. 


♣

I realized that I have made and kept one life-long best friend from every city I have ever lived in.  You five ladies know who you are and I am so blessed to have you in my life.  Almost makes me want to move again to see who God has in store for me next!


☼

My favorite time of day is pre-dawn to mid-morning.  I love to sneak downstairs around 5am, put on the coffee and light a candle.  The sunrise is so energizing for me and hearing the birds singing makes my spirit sing too.  Thus the name of this blog.  I hope it helps your spirit sing a little bit too.   


Now for Seven Great Bloggers I read and highly recommend for a little dose of:

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven baskets, doesn't she?       Even the boys had fun playing in the sand while I took m

Savoring Summer {Staying in the Season}

The desk full of binders, calendars, sports schedules and dreamy ideas is where I currently find myself, while my mind continues to stray back to the mountains and clouds of our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We have been home for a week and I decided in future, I must come home better mentally prepared for the onslaught of emails and to-do items that pile up when we go away for two whole weeks. The fact that school resumes one week from today only intensifies the pressure to get it all done right away. Usually at this point in August I am eager for cooler, less humid days hinting at the beauty of spicy Autumn flavors. Not this year. I am so invigorated by my return to normal movement following the long recovery from knee surgery that I don't want these summery days to end. At least not until they officially end on September 23, 2014. This year feels like a do-over, the last one so consumed by injury, pain and slow, slow, slow recovery. My mind is bursti

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you. The Wild Surrender of Motherhood by Carrie Ann Moss @Annapurna Living This new website launched this week and is absolutely lovely. Remember Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix movies? Well she is now the founder and inspiration behind this blog.  Here is an excerpt of her vision for annapurnaliving.com : FROM CARRIE-ANNE ... “To see womanhood through eyes of grace.”  My desire is to live in a world where nourishment is valued. I believe a nourished family will lead to a nourished world. I believe life is beautiful and that our divine purpose in this world is to nurture the earth by respecting it and being grateful for what it provides us. My wish is to inspire others to create beautiful, honest and satisfying lives. My Other Ex: Women's True Stories of Leaving and Losing Friends   @A Design So Vast Unfortunately, over the past few
