*adorable*

We just got back from our camping trip, it was a lot of fun and we all learned a lot about working together.  I will be posting some pictures soon!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." ~ Psalm 127:3

I am so thankful that my parents are open to life.  Thank you Dad and Mom, I don't know what I would do without all my siblings, even though we have our disagreements I am thankful for each one of my family members!

{feminine modesty}

Recently I have been thinking a lot about modesty and femininity.  It is definitely something that our culture needs these days, you don't find it even among most Christian circles.  Just yesterday I read a quote by Peter Marshall in a Daughterhood by Design article. "The world has enough women who know how to be smart.  It needs women who are willing to be simple.  The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant.  It needs women who will be brave.  The world has enough women who are popular.  It needs more who are pure.  We need women, who would rather be morally right than socially correct." ~ Peter Marshall.

hot weather + cold, healthy smoothies

 ... "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee."

~ Heb 2:12 ~

Doesn't that look just scrumptious!?!  I love homemade fruit smoothies, they are so healthy and tasty especially in this HOT weather!

Berry Smoothie~
Frozen fruit of your choice, blended up in a food processor.  Sprinkle ground nuts on top to make it delicious and beautiful!  If you would like you smoothie more creamy bananas do the trick!
