We enjoyed our time at Lake Anna for the New Year! We’ve decided to visit our Virginia State Parks until all of them have been explored. We decided to book a 3 night stay on the Saturday after Christmas and through the New Year celebration. Surprisingly, the park was fully booked! The best kept secret…

Occoneechee State Park
A friend of mine recommended staying at this park. She went with another couple and stated that it was beautiful, peaceful, and a lot of fun. This got me thinking. I would truly love to enjoy our state parks, especially those that are close to home. I made the reservation almost 4 months in advance…
Historic Canton, Love & Lux
A wedding is a time to bring family and friends together in a joyous occasion! We headed to Baltimore, Maryland for a time of joy and love. The priest reminded us that marriage is an image of God’s love for us. He also shared that we will never find perfection in our partner-only God–so we…
Barcelona 14th Street DC
Whole 30 is probably not the best idea when you know you are going to eat out at amazing restaurants in the D.C. area. We talked ahead of time about our commitment to stay the course, and that we would find places that were fun, yummy, and interesting, but Whole 30 approved. Although we had…
A Church Hill Experience
Parish and I love to try new things. Give us a small town, a unique store, or a restaurant that serves food we’ve never tasted, and we are in our zone. As a couple, the experiences have brought years of fond memories, and individually, we’ve satisfied our love for adventure. How do you define adventure?…
Tarrant’s Cafe
What to do on a rainy day with your love? My husband and I desired to “get away” for just a short day trip to Smithfield, Virginia, which is a quaint town, but the rain and late start made us re-think. If you want to escape, but can’t leave the Richmond area, go to Tarrant’s…
Cottage on Hill, Manteo, NC
Our family vacationed this year at Cottage on Hill in Manteo, NC. This is our take on the place! The owners Mr. and Mrs. Bell were friendly and responsive to our needs not only in deciding to rent from them almost seven months ago but also the week we were there. They live near the…
Jelly Toast
I grew up in an older home from infancy until about sixth grade. My years there were filled with warm summer nights with box fans in the windows, crickets serenading me to sleep, and a pretty pink canopy bed, with pink shag carpet. My yard had large oak trees, and one tree was well suited for…
Dar Luz–The Light Has Come
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And, God saw that the light was…
Grace Home Ministries
If you read my previous post, you’ll remember my joy at finding my old Bible–Blueprint for Living. The following paragraph was written at that time by Bill Bright, founder and president of Campus Crusade For Christ International, in the section called, “An Invitation to Abundant Living” Christ engages in the hearts of His people. He revolutionizes…
