Putt-Putt Fun

This past weekend we went to play Putt-Putt and have dinner with our cousins. It was tons of fun, even though they all got holes-in-one and I didn't but hey, it was a blast. 

 

 

 

  

It was so much fun! Can't wait till next time!

How To Be A Godly Wife Link Party

Something that is very important to me is to be a Godly wife. To love, honor and obey my husband. Just like everyone else i'm not perfect, but I wanted to share some of my favorite posts and places on how to be a Godly wife. 

This site is by a woman named Sheila. She is a Christian author and a speaker for women's groups and marriage conferences.To Love, Honor and Vacuum, is an amazing site. She has so much Godly wisdom to impart and while I've only read one of her books (which was great by the way), I can't wait to read more.

This blog post, Being A Godly Wife, was written by another Godly woman who wrote a letter to herself on how to be a Godly wife. 

Respect, is something I believe is very important, but is probably my weakest point. This post, is all about how to communicate respect to your husband without even saying a word.

It is a daily struggle to be the wife God wants me to be, but I know with His help I can accomplish it. 

Baby Shower Gift Bundle

A lady at our church is having her second baby boy on Friday. This past Friday she had her baby shower. While I would normally buy something off of her registry, since it is her second boy I decided to go homemade, but practical gifts.

I first made a baby blanket from this pattern. It was super easy and didn't take that long at all. I switched colors every 19th row. 

Next, I made some burp clothes. They turned out really well and were so soft! I used this pattern, it is a really easy pattern, perfect for beginners. I think if I ever made them again, I would make them a little wider. I got a 1/4 a yard of the two middle fabrics, 1/2 a yard of the two end fabrics and then 1 1/2 yards plain white for the backs. 

Lastly, I made two pacifier clips with left over fabric. I used this pattern, but I didn't do the iron part, except for when I put on the Velcro. 

I am really happy with the results! They worked as the perfect gift bundle!

Veggie Faltbread

I love flatbread! But I love it even more when you can make it your own. A few weeks ago I was at my cousin's for dinner and she made this awesome flatbread. I decided to make my own that was similar to hers. This is what I came up with.

Ingredients:
Baby Spinach

Mushrooms

Low Fat Cream Cheese

Purple Onion
Red Pepper Flakes
Feta

Flatbread

Avocado 

Let's Get Cookin'
1. Depending on your flatbread you may need to cook it first. For mine, I crisped it up in the oven at 400 for about 5 min. If i didn't do it that way it would get soggy in the middle. 

2. Saute your mushrooms, onion, and baby spinach

3. Spread cream cheese on the flatbread

4. Spread your saute mix on the flatbread 

5. Sprinkle feta, red pepper flakes and whatever other seasonings you want. I used paprika, cumin, some garlic salt

6. Pop it in the oven at 400 for 5 - 10 min. You really just have to watch it and see how its doing. Some bread suggests you but it right on the oven rack so make sure your check the bag. 

7. You could even had some grilled chicken or fish. 

Enjoy!

CJ is 3 months old!

A couple of weeks ago I babysat my nephew CJ for a couple hours while his dad was at a job interview. CJ did so great. He got a little fussy when he was fighting sleep but I eventually got him there. He really loved when I sang to him and would just smile, it made my heart melt. 

The tummy time lasted about 5 min,
then he started screaming

This is the only real smile I got,
and its blurry :(

This is his "Ok, Aunt Kirstin,
stop with all the pictures" face

I had so much fun getting to hang out with him. He even fell asleep while I was holding him, which never happens. He always seems to prefer someone else. Hopefully it wasn't because I was his only option, lol. 

He has gotten so big in such a short amount of time. He can totally hold his head up by himself now with no problems. He is such a cutie!

Just Because Flowers

I love getting flowers from my hubby. They make my day!

A couple of Wednesdays ago I was having a really rough day, and as Bobby left for youth group I cried as he walked out the door because I was going to be all alone. It was just one of those weird days where I got really depressed from being alone, and it didn't help that I hadn't seen him in a week.

He walked in the door after youth with these beautiful flowers!
