His Word in My Heart: April 2010

by gidget adoption

My friend Heidi and her husband are in Africa right now, picking up their new son Ezekiel from Rwanda. This was a verse {Habakkuk 2:3} she posted on her blog recently and it really spoke to me. God truly has given us a vision of adoption. Our hearts have been forever changed through being on [...]

Dance Party

by gidget family

Today I did some good ol’ fashioned blog hopping, which I believe started with Lisa Leonard, skipped through (among others) Red Velvet Art and somehow ended at She & Him. Then I fell in love. I couldn’t get enough of their music on their website (without spending) so I found a little more by way [...]

Wow. I just came across an amazing post I had to share. I think I found it via someone on Twitter, but I’m not even sure now. Please go read it, and then I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. I absolutely love how she makes a distinction between happiness and contentment, because I [...]

This soup was by request by my dad. His mom, my Yaya, used to make it. I had a couple of requests for the recipe when I mentioned making it on facebook a few weeks ago, so here it is… “Yaya” is Greek for grandmother (although I think it is actually spelled differently, this is [...]

365 Project: January’s Calendar

by gidget family

I’ve been having so much fun with the 365 Project. Every couple of days I go back to my phone and camera and choose a photo to represent each day (because let’s be honest, I’m not organized enough to do this every day like you’re supposed to). Some days I can’t choose just one, so [...]

All I Want For My Birthday is Our Baby

by gidget adoption

I’ve been updating and adding to my wish list lately. Because soon, I’ll be 29 (A couple of months ago, I honestly had to stop and think whether I was turning 30 this year or not. It took a minute to remember I wasn’t. One more year in my 20s!). I think having a winter [...]
