I was going to write “it never ceases to amaze me that we vacation in Maine every summer,” but then I looked back at previous “Maine posts” and realized that I write that same phrase almost every year after we return from Maine. But it’s true. I am amazed. And like a good parent, I… Read More The Maine Event Part 2: Family Beach Vacation!
You probably guessed that we spent last week in the beautiful state of Maine. I remember looking at U.S. maps at school growing up and thinking of Maine as being such remote, and foreign land. And I guess it sort of it, unless you live in Massachusetts or New Hampshire, and even then a lot… Read More The Maine Event Part 1: Anniversary Trip
Maybe you thought Texans were the only ones who were shamelessly, obnoxiously, and cheesily proud of their state. Well, you’d be wrong! Maine-ly unpacking at the moment. More on the Maine event coming soon…
Can’t believe all three of the Krum kiddos are in double digits now – 15, 13, and 10. At our house, when you turn ten, you get to choose any restaurant to eat dinner at alone with mom and dad, and while at dinner you are given a nice new Bible with your name engraved… Read More Double Digits for Kayla! (and Bible woes)
(Those three being the 3 M’s, I’m guessing: Melissa, Melinda, and Megan.) My sister, Melissa, said that the post about getting my cousin’s furniture made her cry, since it was also about our aunt and grandmother. “But I was hoping to see pictures of the NEW furniture,” she added. Yes, pictures would have been a… Read More Furniture & Birthmarks (For the three of you interested…)
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands… Read More This Mystery is Great….
Not just the biblical Ruth and Sarah, but a Ruth and a Sarah that I have known and loved personally – two women who have modeled for me a grace in the midst of trial, flexibility in the midst of change – two things that I’m learning are a big struggle for me. Ruth was… Read More Ruth, Sarah, the Hebrews & Me
(photo by libraryman)I have SO many things I want to blog about, like our week at youth camp, the kids summer Bible challenges, blueberry & strawberry picking, the priesthood of Melchizidek and what is has to do with me selling my grandmother’s china cabinet today, and other light topics such as that. 🙂 But all… Read More Giddy Over Greens: Key Lime Pie Shake
Yes, giddy. And it’s been coming on for a while now, I think. Have I ever mentioned THE most amazing food experience I ever had. It was with my sister, Melissa, in New York City. We met there one very cold February for three nights of sisterly and city fun! Previously, she had heard of… Read More Giddy Over Greens: Cilantro – Pineapple Shake
This one sort of feels like a fall dish with its warmth and winter squash, but I couldn’t resist making it after discovering it in the Goat Cheese cookbook I recently fell in love with. And I’m discovering that I really don’t know how to cook without using the oven. It has been so hot… Read More Portabella, Italian Sausage, & Butternut Squash Lasagne
