Nothing Beats Homemade! (Recipe)

November 11, 2019November 10, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

Not to brag or anything, but Liz's homemade pumpkin spice lattes are the best! She uses fresh pumpkin puree, raw milk (almond milk for me!), freshly brewed coffee, and pumpkin pie spice. Try it for yourself! (Serves 2) -Brew: a cup of strong coffee (we use a French press) -Heat until bubbly: 2 Tbsp fresh … Continue reading Nothing Beats Homemade! (Recipe)

Volleyball and the Sunset

September 3, 2019September 2, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 1 Comment

I don't usually go to youth group events, mainly because I'm an introvert, and large gatherings aren't my forte. Tonight I went though, and it turned out to be a lovely evening. I got to catch up with some very dear friends I hadn't seen in a while. I was sitting on a lawn chair … Continue reading Volleyball and the Sunset

A Mini Country Adventure

August 20, 2019August 19, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 2 Comments

Yesterday, Liz and I went to Long's Park, where we set up a little campsite and spent the afternoon outside. As we were walking from the car into the glade (technically it wasn't a glade, since a glade requires a forest, but it sorta felt like a mini forest, so maybe it was a mini … Continue reading A Mini Country Adventure

Laura’s Bridal Shower

August 2, 2019August 2, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 1 Comment

This past Friday, we were privileged to host the bridal shower for my future sister-in-law, Laura. When I say host, I mean that we opened our home to several incredibly talented young ladies, and they turned the place into a scene from a fairy tale. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Dessert table complete … Continue reading Laura’s Bridal Shower

I've been wanting to post more pictures of all the beautiful areas around where I live. I haven't done it yet, because my collection is incomplete, but here's what I have so far. All of these pictures were taken at Middle Creek. The lake Okay, so this isn't strictly a scenery picture, but it's so … Continue reading Landscape and Scenery Part 1

What I Love About Getting Up Early

July 9, 2019 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

Of course, "early" is relative. What feels early for me to get up might feel like sleeping in for someone else, or vice versa. I've gotten so used to getting up "early" that I automatically wake up around 6 am every morning, even on mornings I can sleep in. There are a quite a few … Continue reading What I Love About Getting Up Early

Oh, The Places You’ll Go

June 10, 2019June 9, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 2 Comments

The places I've been going lately have definitely been adventures... In this post, I'm just sharing a few photos of the beautiful scenery I've seen on my way to some of my clinical sites. This particular morning, I had to get up at 4:30 to go to clinical. I'm used to getting up at 6, … Continue reading Oh, The Places You’ll Go

My First Tenting Trip

May 20, 2019May 20, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 1 Comment

Well, my first tenting trip in America anyway. I did sleep in a tent in South Africa a couple years ago while on a choir tour, but it rained the whole time, so it wasn't the best experience ever. This time, we had beautiful weather! I want to share just a few pictures from the … Continue reading My First Tenting Trip
