The reason for the season

The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.

Our family goal for the holiday season is simple, celebrate Christ's birth, celebrate the gift of salvation, and create new traditions to build memories upon.

Join us as we

.....Worship Fully
..........Spend Less
...............Give More
....................and Love All

Bountiful Baskets

Oh how I love Bountiful Baskets. If you're in the Phoenix area, you must look into participating in the program. This post is simply to show off my basket from last week. Maybe soon I'll do a review and add some links to the program.

The basket on the left is my produce basket 50% fruit and 50% veggies. All of that was only $16.50. I added on a Mexican basket for an extra $5. You can't beat the freshness, selection, etc. Oh the excitement abounds!

First post

Tonight is my first post. Hooray! Two weeks in the making. Here goes nothing...


This weekend was a whirlwind. Saturday was my first official bake day. It all started midweek though... My first attempt *ever* to make homemade cinnamon rolls.


I never knew that kneeding dough could be so messy!




Here's my dough... rising...





One L-O-N-G hour later:

Yippee! It did was good dough does. I rolled it out, expecting 15 x 20. What I got was 26 by 30... Here's the roll, all filled with the good stuff:

Here they go, into the oven (after rising another 45 minutes):

And drum roll please.... Beautiful buns! :)
