Jewel of Bayshore: June 2013
http://jewelofbayshore.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
A blog about faith, life and art. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. For Father's Day I made the Pres these divine cookies. Homemade Nutter Butters! What better way to tell him we're nuts about him? Thanks to Cookies and Cups blog. Notice I forgot to take photos once they were baked and made into sandwiches with the sweet confectioners sugar and peanut butter icing. We were too busy eating! Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Lorenzo gets the kids into just the right spot to catch a wave. Monday, June 3, 2013. Watermark temp...

Jewel of Bayshore: March 2013
http://jewelofbayshore.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
A blog about faith, life and art. Wednesday, March 27, 2013. Tis the season to think on the blessedness of life lived in abundance because Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and rose again to give us eternal life. Tis the season for seeing birds building nests; time to dig in the flower beds; time to run to the river and enjoy the beauty of creation; and as usual, tis the season to bake! Saturday, March 16, 2013. A Day to Relax. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Monday, March 11, 2013. Sunday, March 10, 2013.

Jewel of Bayshore: Jelly Doughnuts!
http://jewelofbayshore.blogspot.com/2013/09/jelly-doughnuts.html
A blog about faith, life and art. Monday, September 30, 2013. The Pres is off today, persevering on our front porch project. It was the perfect day to get up and make jelly doughnuts. After their second rising, they get deep fried for about 2 minutes. After draining them on paper towels they get rolled in sugar. It is tempting to eat them just like this. But don't skip the jelly step. With apologies to whoever developed this delicious recipe. If I knew your name I'd put it here. 1/4 cup warm water. Place...

Raines of Grace: Those Days...
http://rainesofgrace.blogspot.com/2012/02/we-are-quickly-approaching-my-little.html
Friday, February 3, 2012. We are quickly approaching my little girl’s third birthday. Three years of her smile. Her giggles. Her kisses. Her sweet voice. It’s hard to believe how quickly this time flies by. Playing 'chase' with Mommy! But, then there are those days… those days where our temperaments clash. As we approach her third birthday, those days are coming a lot more regularly. 8221; over and over as loud as they can in your face. When I used to see a child misbehave in public (before becoming a pa...

Raines of Grace: August 2011
http://rainesofgrace.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Wednesdays are my day to bake and clean the house. Today happened to be cookie making day for the Husband's lunches. Elisabeth loves. Watching as the cookie dough mixes. Elisabeth's favorite part is adding the chocolate chips! She held it so close like it was a dear thing. My happy little baker! Licking the beater clean. Yummy balls of dough waiting to bake. Delicious chocolate chip cookies! This is the recipe I grew up eating and now make for my family. Enjoy! 1 cup brown sugar.

Raines of Grace: September 2011
http://rainesofgrace.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 8, 2011. The Importance of Relationship. My daughter is really into flying from the top of the stairs into her parents’ arms every chance she gets. It doesn’t matter if we’re ready or not, she’s coming. She stands at the very edge of the top step, flashes a brilliant smile and flings herself into the air with all her might knowing with every fiber of her being that she will not fall. This. I tell myself, is what Jesus meant when He says we are to have faith like the littlest ones.

Raines of Grace: July 2011
http://rainesofgrace.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2011. Yesterday we went with friends to a fun place where we could feed goats. At first Elisabeth was a little leary of allowing the goats to eat the cracked corn right out of her hands. (She doesn't really like to have her hands dirty.) But, she decided to be brave and tried it. I am so proud. There's nothing quite like watching our kids conquer their fears. Swinging by the goat pen. Trying to get the very last morsels of corn! Gathering more cracked corn. We had a lot of fun! Stop and...

Raines of Grace: April 2011
http://rainesofgrace.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 20, 2011. One of "Those" Moms. Ever wondered how people manage to not only lock their keys inside their car but their children as well? I always wondered where people’s brains were whenever they’d lock their keys in the car – what kind of idiot would do that? Well, apparently I am that kind of idiot. Talk about judgments coming back on ourselves! 8220;Oh my goodness, I just locked Elisabeth in the car! 8221; I exclaimed to my husband. “She’s in the car? 8221; “Ok.”. 8221; Thankfully ever...

Raines of Grace: October
http://rainesofgrace.blogspot.com/2011/10/october.html
Thursday, October 27, 2011. It’s been a while since I posted anything. We have been so busy and I haven’t had time to think beyond what activity we’ll be doing next. Thankfully, October was full of beautiful weather that made it possible for us to enjoy every single weekend outdoors as a family. We went to the pumpkin patch. Enjoying the hay ride with her pumpkin. 65279;. The orchard was full of delcious apples! 65279;. 65279;. We also made caramel apples! My cute cookie decorator.
