Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real {the sky is falling}

~ PRETTY ~
This lovely rose in my front yard was glistening in the sunrise after a brief shower from the sprinklers. 
This verse filled my heart and soul out of nowhere:
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
Luke 1:46-47 (NAB)
Isn't the beauty of God's creation simply stunning at times?




~ HAPPY ~
New scooters bring about the biggest smiles these days as little KC is able to keep up with his big brothers.




~ FUNNY ~
Have you seen these adorable pencils at Office Max?  I decided mom needed a few back to school supplies too!




~ REAL ~
A sign of things to come and I can't wait!


P.S.  Please pray for us and (all along the East Coast) as we prepare for Hurricane Irene.
The earth shook us up the other day and rattled our nerves.
Now the impending storm has us literally battening down the hatches
so blogging will be on the back burner for a while.
My kids are frightened for our home.
Please wrap us in your prayers.
You are all in ours.
 Will keep you posted!

    Wowsers! Earthquakes and hurricane in the same week. Craziness. Prayers for your home and family as Irene approaches! May His angels keep care over you.

    Gorgeous photos!

    Oh Misty- I'll be praying for all of you! We used to live in Miami and had a number of hurricanes while there. Try to prepare stuff for your kids to do while there is no power: board games, simple crafts, charge all computers, phones, iPads, etc (anything that could be used for the kids to watch a video or play a game) and have some fun snacks and drinks (that don't involve opening the refrigerator!). If you can help them pass the time, they won't be so scared.

    I love school supplies! I was so sad when I graduated college and no longer needed to buy them. Luckily, my own child starts 4k this year and I get to indulge in the wonderful smell of fresh school supplies again!

    I LOVE those pencils!!!! I so wish I had an Office Max around (I don't even have a WalMart near by - so I'm super out of luck), I would go get those asap!
    Prayers for you and your family as you prepare for the hurricane. We used to live in Houston - I know that fear. I'll especially be praying for a sense of peace in your little ones!

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
