Summer officially begins this Sunday…June 21st, although my kids have been calling it “summer” since the last day of school. It seems like such a short season, maybe because we try to fit in SO many activities in these warm months. Last year, I hosted a party for my daughter and her friends to celebrate […]
confirmation celebration
This has been a big week for Grace…she had her eighth grade graduation and her confirmation. After two years of attending confirmation classes every Wednesday evening, serving as an acolyte on Sunday mornings, many service projects, and sharing her faith statement in front of her class, it was time for a celebration!

basketball ice cream toppings
My daughter’s basketball team played their final game of the season last week. Not a winning season, but a fun one! As one last activity, the coach organized a pizza/ ice cream party. Like I said, they like to have fun! I offered to bring the toppings for the ice cream. So…I had to make […]
king cake
Although I live in Ohio, the king cake has been a tradition in my family for many years. My aunt and uncle live in New Orleans, and they often sent king cakes to us just before Mardi Gras (also known as Fat Tuesday). I remember what fun it was to receive one of these, and […]
