A Summer Cold (lame-o!) and Refashioning T-shirts

by gidget green & natural living

I hate being sick in the summer!! It’s the worst! I started fighting a cold Saturday night, prayed to make it through my first time singing in our church’s worship band on Sunday (God answered those prayers and I was blessed to be able to sing), and started really feeling it that afternoon as we [...]

Quintessential Summer Day

by gidget ice cream

Facebook friends will know that I was hoping to have a recipe for you yesterday. I tried. I think the truth is, I’m not quite up to creating my own recipe yet. At least not on the first try. It started out fab… but turned out a little… icy… flaky almost. The batter never quite [...]

His Word in My Heart: June 2010

by gidget faith

I picked this verse because it’s such a good reminder of how to find contentment everyday. Brody’s early morning schedule is giving me some great time with the Lord these days, and I’m trying to really be more aware of my prayer life (more on that coming soon!) and making it a priority. I was [...]

Gettin’ a Little Homemade

by gidget food

What’s going on in the Gidget household, you ask? Both kids are quiet for one thing (have I mentioned what a lifesaver LeapPad is?) after a not-so-pleasant grocery run. We did have a lovely morning at our new favorite place, though, the San Diego Botanical Garden. Oh, and the photo above is from our blueberry [...]

These were the journal entries I wrote as we were progressing, starting with the first meeting with Brody’s birthparents. I decided to post it all in one place for easy archiving, so please [...]
