                                  Enough said.

Well, another year older, another year wiser. It's strange. On every single one of my birthdays, I know...okay. I'm an entire year older. Today should feel different. I spend the whole day thinking it should feel different and I feel as though it doesn't, but because of that...it actually does feel different. (okay, that may not have made sense to you, but it does in my own mind...lol). It seems it takes me awhile to adjust to a new age. I'm embracing it. So yesterday I spend the whole day indulging. It felt good I must admit. The day started off with my absolute FAVORITE spot to grab a coffee and a muffin. Stick Boy Bread Company. Mmmmm....... Seriously. Then my sweetie pie husband took me out on a (kid-free) date to Natty Greene's Pub & Brewing Co. It was REALLY good. I had a lovely brew...made with chamomile! We then headed over to another one of our favorite local spots in town. Aviator Brewing Co. The place has such a good atmosphere. The weather was gorgeous for such a day. I had a truly wonderful 23rd birthday.

Simple Happiness...

One of my favorite things to do is to photograph the simple beauty in everyday life. I had been using my mothers older digital camera to capture moments from my day to day life, but my dear husband decided enough was enough. He so sweetly bought me a wonderful new camera for my birthday/anniversary present. I love it!! I have hardly put it down since I opened it. Needless to say I have been snapping photos left and right. It really was the most perfect gift.
Simple Happiness....

Our Little Space...

Our little space is made up of so much. Art, music, crafting tools, family heirlooms, much of these things I'm sure fill almost anyone's space. This is ours. Our unique space. A space that we hope to one day leave. We feel this is just our temporary home. We are still looking for that place where we can plant ourselves and spread our roots. It's going to happen. One day. Until then, we are trying our best to look at what we have and make it ours as much as possible. So here, ladies and gentlemen is the space we currently call home.

It may not be perfect, but its ours. Our space.

My Life...

My life is something that seems to be getting better and better. My family is growing so beautifully and I feel we are almost on the path that will lead us to better things. I dream of so many beautiful things for my family. I'm so excited to start this new journey. I need to put all of my trust in the Lord.

 I hope to be updating a bit more frequently on here. Sharing our family's journey. Lets see where life takes us!
Where has your life taken you?

One Year...

                          Happy Birthday to my Little Rowie. 

Freshly Brewed...

Last night the decision was made between the husband and I to exchange our Christmas gifts early. Lets just say I am so glad that we did! I have been drooling over one of these for awhile now and now I finally got my hands on one.

(brewing some Rich Milk Tea)

Ahh...It was just what I needed. He was also so kind to get me some wild berry tea from Rishi. Sooo yummy!! He did good. Merry CHRISTmas!!!!!

The passage of the marshes (Clarsach Celtic Harp)

This is just lovely.

Roasted Chicken & Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon...

This recipe has been a favorite of mine this year. It's quick, easy, cheap, and pretty darn healthy too! It only takes a few minutes to prep all of the ingredients and then your ready to cook! (This recipe makes about 2-3 servings)

 (starting with above picture) Take about 2-3 medium sweet potatoes. Dice into 1 inch cubes. Toss with olive oil or coconut oil. About 1-2 tablespoons worth. Then sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon. (or more if you like)

 Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and spread evenly on a baking sheet. (I covered mine in foil).

 Now place 2 chicken breast-boneless/skinless-(which have also been oiled and coated with the salt/pepper/cinnamon mixture) on the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. (I had already had some chicken made up from the night before, I was just reheating it a bit with the sweet potatoes) Cook at about 375-380 degrees F. for about 35-45 minutes or until potatoes are tender/caramelized and the chicken is cooked all the way through. Then enjoy!

                                 Yummy!!
