2 weeks ago I shared a post introducing you to The Red Faced Runners. So many of you have joined in the #RFR5K challenge, sharing your red faces with us and motivating us along the way. Well, I am excited to share that because of the overwhelming response from others, we decided The Red Faced [...]
Raising Money Smart Kids with Tykoon
A few weeks ago I reached out to those of you who follow Dine & Dish on Facebook asking for advice on chores and allowance. We have struggled since day one finding a consistent method that works for our family. With 4 kids at 4 different ages, it’s difficult to figure out something that works [...]
Desserts in Jars Cookbook Giveaway {Recipe: Tres Leches Cakes} – CLOSED
This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Lindsey from Growing Kids Ministry for winning! I used to stand by the glass counter, staring longingly into the dessert case, hoping my parents would budge and buy me one of the little “parfait buckets”. Banana Cream pie, strawberry shortcake, triple chocolate brownie… all made even more appealing [...]
Ahem…Magic Mike {Recipe: Blackberry Gin Shooters}
My eyes had the pleasure of taking in Magic Mike earlier this week. If you aren’t familiar with this movie, you can find more about it here, but in general, there really isn’t much of a plot, but lots and lots of eye candy. Before the movie even started, the packed audience (of mixed ages [...]
Indivisible {Recipe: Pink Lemonade Dessert Bars}
I have no red, white and blue masterpiece for you today. No berry topped dessert or patriotic themed beverage has been made. You’ll have to go elsewhere for gorgeous flag cakes, star spangled drinks and patriotic Popsicles. Oh, we’ll be celebrating, don’t worry about that. There will be time for reflection on the true meaning [...]
Cooking With Friends {Recipe: Bush’s Beans White Bean Bruschetta}
A little girlfriend therapy can go a long ways in getting your mind, energy and spirit back on track. That’s how I felt after spending last weekend with my friend, Amy. Late nights with wine, good conversation, laughter and great food. Really, really great food. And, really great conversation. And probably too much wine, but [...]
Project 365 2012 – Week 25 & 26 – A Photo a Day Journey
Today is the first day of July and my mind is blown away that we are already at this point in 2012. One of my favorite things about doing these Project 365 posts is taking a moment to re-live, through pictures, the events that happened in our life. These past two weeks were pretty uneventful, [...]
The Burger King {Recipe: Nick’s Best Barbecue Burgers}
My husband is sound asleep right now, not aware of the fact that I am about to give away one of his biggest secrets. He makes the MOST amazing hamburgers. That’s not his secret though. Everyone who has had one of his burgers comments on how good they are and usually sneak more than one [...]

It’s A Good Thing She’s Cute!
I have four kids and you’d think by the time Leah came along I’d have this whole parenting thing down. What no one seems to tell you is that whether you have 1 or 10 kids, God sends you a different one each time. You get the experience of starting over, learning the ropes again [...]
