What Happens When Satan Steals Your Motherhood

Posted on June 28, 2015 by Daniel & April

It is there, and it creeps up like a silent killer. Maybe it is the wet underwear that you found floating in the hallway bathroom. Or the cat food that has been flung out on the floor like tiny marbles waiting to trip up a passerby. Or the loud thumping and yelling and tantruming as if we live in some sort of primal age where roaring and beating your chest were the only way to

Comfort Inn Fallon NV

Posted on June 22, 2015 by Daniel & April

On our way home from our amazing Salt Lake City, Utah trip, we decided to stay the night in Fallon Nevada. We were over tired from driving all those hours and it was a spur of the moment stay.

Breakfast Tostadas

Posted on June 14, 2015 by Daniel & April

 First of all you need a fabulous flourless tortilla recipe. We got our recipe from Paleo Newbie. (Link Here) We added a tablespoon of corn meal to the recipe and poured our tortillas a little thinner. We wanted ours to be able to have a crispy crunchy texture. Once you have your tortillas made you sprinkle them with cinnamon while they are still hot. Then when they have cooled spread them with your favorite natural

TGIF

Posted on June 5, 2015 by Daniel & April

 T.G.I.F. usually stands for Thank God It’s Friday, but we also use it as Today God Is First. Everyday we strive to put God first in our lives, but we all face the challenge of becoming too busy and focused on putting the kids first.
