Cookie Decorating Class

by

Breakfast of champions! ? 
Last night I tried another @skillpoprduclass and learned how to decorate cookies from @raleighgoodcookies. It was lots of fun but so much harder than it looks! Let’s just say, I plan to stick with paper and markers as my creative outlet. 
Have you taken any fun classes recently? I’m always looking for new things to try!

Do More Things That Make You Forget to Check Your Phone

by

I think I may have written this quote before but I’m in a real phone rut right these days and can’t seem to put my phone down. Am I the only one that tries to make an effort to be on the phone less, then feels like I’m on my phone even more?! What do you do to intentionally spend less time on your phone?

Apollo 11 Anniversary

by

50 years ago today, Apollo 11 landed on the moon! How amazing is that?! Just 66 years after the Wright brothers took their first flight, the US flew to the moon and walked on it!
Fun fact: Did you know Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon? ?

National Hot Dog Day

by

Happy #nationalhotdogdayy’all! What are you favorite hotdog toppings? I used to be just a ketchup girl, but I’ve branched out to include mustard (and sometimes even relish and onions ?). Watch until the end to see what I think pairs best with hotdogs! (Hint: ?)

Love You A Bunch

I love you a bunch!! ? 
Did you know you can write secret messages on bananas with toothpicks? It looks invisible and then shows up slowly over the next few hours. 
When I wrote this, there were a whole bunch of them, but my little banana lover ate several and as you can see, he’s eager to eat the last two!

To The Full

by

Jesus said “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” This is the @mops_international theme this year and I just love everything about it! I think we all could use a reminder to have more fun and fear less because Jesus allows us to live our best lives! ? #tothefull
