“Chip, I’m gonna come at you like a spider monkey!” For those that don’t get the reference, that is a quote from the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. In my attempt to make mini monkey bread, I have created a dessert/breakfast The Pastor loves. I call it Spider Monkey Bread. It is [...]

My New Vacuum
We bought a new vacuum yesterday. (Vacuum is such a weird word. Every time I think of the word ‘vacuum’ I think of the little girl on Corina, Carina spelling ‘vacuum’ ‘h-o-o-v-e-r.’)
Aidan had an allergic reaction yesterday, poor guy. He had little whelps all over his little body. At first I thought it was bug [...]

Staining & Sewing
I have spent a considerable amount of time today staining Aidan’s new changing table. As soon as I finish it and get it in his room, I will post pictures. My mother got Aidan an oak crib at a thrift store before he was born. It is very pretty. We couldn’t find a changing table [...]

Dinner With The Pastor
You must be thinking this is what life is like here at the parsonage, right? The Pastor really likes ham.

Black and White Dress for Immy
This dress is the exact same dress as the green dress I posted about before. The black and white version is much better than the green and navy version. The yoke is black cotton. The rest of the dress is a black and white print jersey cotton. This thing is very soft and cuddly! In [...]

This Easter With My Kids
The season of Lent is over. I must say, it was difficult for me to uphold my commitment for Lent, but I did it and I am happy that I did. I enjoyed Easter with my kids this year. We did not have Easter Egg Hunts at the church or extravagant Easter parties [...]

The Prayer Of Love
We do not reciprocate… hatred and contention, although [our enemies] would like it better if we did, and so sink to their own level. And how is the battle to be fought? Soon the time will come when we shall pray, not as isolated individuals, but as a corporate body, a congregation, a church; we [...]

The Man Who Was Thursday
The title is the name of the book I just finished. It was written by G.K. Chesterton. His first name is Gilbert. I really like that name. I’m thinking Aidan would have been a great Gilbert. He can thank The Pastor when he is older for being named Aidan instead of Gilbert (or Atticus).
For those [...]

Chess Pie
The Pastor grew up eating his grandmother’s chess pie. He made a request a while back for chess pie. I now have the perfect chess pie recipe. Here it is if you are a chess pie person:
2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons of butter
4 tablespoons of flour
5 egg yolks & 5 egg whites (separate the two, and [...]

Chocolate Chess Pie
Chocolate chess pie always reminds me of my Granny. Every holiday we’d have chocolate chess pie. It was always so good. After my Granny died, I didn’t have chocolate chess pie for a long time. I didn’t want anyone to make it for me and I certainly did not want to make it. This past [...]
