Tuscan Chicken
It's here, it's finally here! CROCK-TOBER! Y'all, my family and I love this time of year. Me because I get to challenge myself with crockpot meals and them because they are the recipients of those challenges - it usually a win win! The first recipe I tried out this year was a hearty style chicken dish served over pasta. The feed back from the fam was that it was ok, but we all agreed it needed ... [Read More]
Twelve Minutes of Self Care
my most recent #12minart I have an artist friend, who I met through the lovely world of little squares also known as Instagram. And when I first started stalking following her, she was posting a lot about 12 minute art. I thought to myself, ok, I have 12 minutes a day to throw at my creative self... Fast forward several months, a blossoming friendship (i.e. we went from stalker to friends to ... [Read More]
I am…
I am my own worst critic. I speak ugly words to myself, I don't allow myself grace, I don't accept my own excuses (even if it appears I do), But, I am learning, learning to tell the bully in my head to be quiet (ok, really I tell it to shut up, but I tell my kids that's a phrase we should use, so...),I am learning to not make excuses but rather speak truth,to find the silver lining,the ...

Color!
(or colour as my inner Scot screams!) Our house is on the market (I won't go into the boring details of why... I'll just say Air Force!), and that means we (the homeschoolers and I) have to be able to drop everything and vacate in a moments notice in case someone wants to look at it. And, well, that means that I am limited in my creative outlet... if I had my way, there would be paint and paper ... [Read More]
Mood Tracker
How are things going with your habit tracker? With your year of "Bee-ing Creative"? January Creativity I admit, I haven't hit my every day goal.Now, I am struggling with this, I am a recovering perfectionist, and to have a blank spot (ok, two) on my tracker is a challenge. They are like two beacons calling out to me, lighting the way to my failures. BUT, grace. I'm pretty good at giving ... [Read More]
Surrendering… again… still…
A while ago, I wrote a post on surrender... on giving in, willingly, to Christ... Well, since then, I have been working on surrender... And today, I surrendered to the artistic muse... sure, the to do list was long, the bathroom's weren't going to clean themselves, the fridge was full of science experiments, curriculum/lesson plans needed to be written... but... I am an artist... it's the way God ... [Read More]
Be Intentional!
New Year... always brings on new goals, new intentions... and for me... a flood of regrets. Those regrets come from failed goals, missed opportunities, shoulda's, coulda's and if only's. And, probably like you, I have said, "But this year is going to be different"... and then the next new year's eve rolls around and, boom, I am back to those feelings of regret! BUT, this year is REALLY going to be ... [Read More]

Orange Chicken in the Crockpot
Whoop! Crock-tober is going strong in our house... and my son told me the other day, I had done a bad thing... that I was starting off too strong with many yummy recipes and he was curious if I was going to be able to sustain it! Well, this recipe did not disappoint! It's not your typical crockpot recipe because it's not a fix it and forget it recipe, but, I promise it's worth it... and is ... [Read More]
