A Loving Reminder from Our Crock Pot

Many years ago, a friend bought us a crock pot as a thank you for helping her with her wedding. We were truly touched and were excited to make many fun recipes in it. We envisioned ourselves side-by-side in the kitchen, filling our slow cooker with nutritious food, filling the house with yummy smells, and filling our lives with warmth and comfort. We envisioned finally living the life that we had always imagined we would live: a life that had lots of unscheduled time and lots of freedom – More

Dreams Really Do Come True

I’m writing this from my new home on the west coast. It honestly feels surreal to write that – to really take it in.

Just two months ago, I shared here about my dream of wanting to move to the beach – of longing to live by the water and take in the ocean’s energy.
