Overripe Bananas

I consistently end up with overripe bananas and run out of ideas on what to do with them. Banana Bread and Banana Pancakes/Waffles can only be eaten so often. I have a new favorite use for overripe bananas. Peanut Butter Banana Coconut Milk Ice Cream I found this recipe using Tastespotting, my absolute favorite recipe… Continue reading Overripe Bananas

Summer To-Do List: Portraits in a Sunflower Field

One of our Summer To-Do List items was to take photos in a sunflower field. Our area is littered with sunflower fields and it is a sight to behold for a few weeks every June. The fields look like glittering, swaying miles of gold as far as the eye can see. The fields are grown… Continue reading Summer To-Do List: Portraits in a Sunflower Field

The idea of making our summer more intentional inspired me to think of things I wanted to accomplish during our last summer here in Spain.

To My Amazing Hubby

Aside from my Father, my husband is the BEST man I know. It is simply amazing to me that God designed us to find that one special person that we look at with such adoration and love. There is nobody I would rather spend my time with, cook for, go on vacation with, hug at… Continue reading To My Amazing Hubby

State College

30 days of vacation – when we extended in Spain for another year and they thanked us with a paid 30 days of vacation.  Not a bad deal.  We’ll take it! Tripp and I flew home to PA a week ahead of Joe so we could spend some extra time with family, namely my brother… Continue reading State College

Blueberry Waffles

I can’t say I didn’t help him.  I can’t say I didn’t ask, in advance, for blueberry waffles.  I actually set out the ingredients and filled the coffee pot the night before.  What can I say, I’m a control freak.  And my husband, as amazing as he is, doesn’t know his way around a kitchen… Continue reading Blueberry Waffles
