What I’m Chasing in 2015

December 31, 2014July 8, 2017Mary Jo3 Comments on What I’m Chasing in 2015

This hasn’t been our best year. Really. Financially, emotionally, relationally, a whole pile of “not our finest” moments. Yet… I’m convinced that years like 2014 are essential. They are the interruptions that make us better, they are not defining…

Menu Monday: Jambalaya Pasta

April 1, 2013November 21, 2017Mary Jo1 Comment on Menu Monday: Jambalaya Pasta

I’m going to be brief today. I am still dealing with a lot of pain in my back and sitting at the computer is one of the most painful things for me right now. Walking is good, flat on my back is good, but sitting is very, very bad. I’m also trying to…

Menu Monday

March 11, 2013July 15, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Menu Monday

Home Remedies: Keeping the Mirror Clean

July 2, 2012July 12, 2020Mary Jo6 Comments on Home Remedies: Keeping the Mirror Clean

Who is Your God?

January 9, 2012July 16, 2021Mary Jo1 Comment on Who is Your God?

I’ve Been Out

October 17, 2011Mary Jo2 Comments on I’ve Been Out

Had a great trip to Michigan with Kris and the boys. Met my brother’s girlfriend, visited with a lot of family and enjoyed several quiet moments with a view of pretty leaves, a little laughter and a little crochet. Throw in some baking, some football,…
