Warm Weather & A Few Extra Minutes

Baking· Fun· Teens· The Whole Earth is Full of His Glory

7 Mar

We had a window of time after an orthodontist appointment and before music lessons started. What do you do when you have a few extra minutes?009We decided to take in a beautiful view. The weather has been warmer here this week and we stopped the car, rolled the windows down and the teens studied for exams while I did some Bible study. I mostly enjoyed the view.013The whole earth is full of His glory!015-2When Victoria Leigh finished exams, she made a recipe of Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies for her sissy to take to Disciple Now this weekend.045I loved how she stacked them on the cooling rack (after they had cooled). I couldn’t help but call them chocolate chip cross cookies. Her sissy and friends will be pleased!074And she also whipped up some zucchini bread for breakfast and to take to her great grandmother this weekend.

After budding Betty Crocker cleaned up the kitchen, she was ready to take a bike ride together. We got the bikes out for the first time this year. The sunset never fails to amaze me.049It was lovely from the kitchen window; but I seemed so much closer to this marvelous masterpiece while on the bicycle ride with with Victoria Leigh. We serve an incredibly creative God. The pink he used in the sky just tickles me. I love pink!

And I love this darlin’ bicycle riding baby..057

    Good morning, Lora,

    I just love reading about your life and your teens. Makes me look forward to mine growing up rather than dreading it. All too often I see teenage girls (or hear about them or remember what it was like to be one) and freak out a little.

    Thanks for sharing a bit of your life!

    Joanne

Henceforth, my borrowed bouquet for Valentine’s Day. 

I was so happy to step in and enjoy the beauty.

I have never seen anything like what I saw when I I have never seen anything like what I saw when I walked in Walmart this last week. 

Right there where they normally have fresh berries and Grainger county tomatoes and such, was a Valentine’s Day floral display the size of an above ground swimming pool. 

And I wanted to dive in the deep end. 

There were blooms as far as my eye could see and there was no way possible to get every one in the picture, though I tried. 

I wish you lived in my town and we’d go enjoy them together. 

It’s going to be a beautiful Valentine’s Day! 

Scroll right to see the biggest display ever and a few colorful, and beautiful, bouquets.

“Sometimes you have church in buildings that don “Sometimes you have church in buildings that don’t have steeples” is how I’d describe my visit to the hair wizard this week. 

💗

God is so good to intertwine cousins, curls, and church. 

💗

Amen and amen.

I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of openin I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of opening my Raggedy Ann lunch box to find mama had cut my sandwich out with heart shaped cookie cutters.

♥️

It’s the little things.

♥️

I got my mama’s heart shaped cookie cutters out & am serving love & beauty with heart shaped, & heart healthy, Trim Healthy Mama Blender Freezer Waffles. Shout out to the organic Aldi raspberries that appear to be heart shaped as well!

The waffles are Salesman approved. ♥️

I make an entire batch of the waffles & keep them in a refrigerator box so he can grab them just like a L’eggo My Eggo & enjoy the convenience of healthy, & now heart-shaped, waffles.

You can see the Salesman’s legs in the background of one of the pictures of me trying to capture the perfect picture of the heart shaped waffles.  I stepped out on the back porch, which is right outside his office, and he came out to see what I was doing.  And let me tell you, he had a good laugh seeing me trying to get the picture perfect shot of my plate of love!  After he ribbed me a bit, I told him that I really enjoyed taking pictures, & he then shared a nugget, or two, about the photography industry.

This is us. ♥️

This is me carrying on a tradition my mama started of making sweet memories for holidays & special occasions. It did not cost any money to use my childhood cookie cutters, it was just a sweet, and delicious, investment of time.

The most beautiful memories are tied with heart strings & not purse strings. ♥️
