Heavenly...

If you know me well, you know that I can think of no other pastry(ies) I would rather devour than Cinnamon Rolls. Literally, I crave them... especially ones that are as big as my face... and I have been known to down up to 4, yes 4, in one sitting.

This past spring, BJ and I joined a community group at the Village Church... and not only has it been so good for our souls, it is also here where my passion for beloved cinnamon rolls has been ignited once again. Thanks to my new, dear friends I have discovered the greatest cinnamon roll recipe on the planet (and I am NOT an easy please).

A few girls in our small group often boast about their undying devotion to The Pioneer Woman... someone, until recently, I had no regard for at all. Well my friends, this has all changed. I am on TPW band-wagon... and all I have sampled are her cinnamon rolls. One taste and I was hooked - I mean, just look at them!!!
Last night, our small group celebrated the debut of Baby Rector (due in 2 weeks) and the girls made the entire group CINNAMON ROLLS. I ate 2 and took a pan home... heaven for the next few days!!

So, even if you don't bake... bake these. You will NOT be disappointed. They make a lot, so feel free to give me any leftovers!

*Sidenote: we are SO blessed by the new community we have found at the Village... the Lord has been so faithful to grant us fellowship with believers who are hungry for truth and friendships... thank you Jesus!

Hi Karen! I found your blog through Kim White's blog and am so excited for you about your blessing due in a few weeks. I am glad to hear you are doing well. I LOVE Pioneer Woman and have tried a number of her recipes. How sweet of your Small Group to make them for you! (If you don't know who I am, I am Mary Helen Mullins - now Johnson - from DDD.) Blessings to you!

Cheerleading Tryouts

If you have ever been through any sort of team tryout, audition, or interview, you know the waiting period can be a little bit stressful.... and well, that gives you an idea of how the hunt for our reception location has been since our engagement. BJ and I wanted to find a location that we felt "suits" us... so, the search began a while ago, to say the least. Enjoy this process alongside of us: 1. Dallas Museum of Art--who wouldn't want to have their reception here? The Hamon Atrium is absolutely perfect for the bride and groom who like to work with bare bones--slate floors, concrete infrastructure, and a 5 story glass wall with colorful blown glass cascading down. Not only that, but it really taps in to BJ's "artistic" side. So, we get all worked up over the DMA to find out that well, weddings are taking back seat due to the arrival of King Tut. Yes, He and all his artefactual glory are coming to Dallas in October, and well, until about 2 weeks ago, wedding

The Sister of Honor...

Its time for our readers to get to know some of our bridal party... and there is no better place to start than with your maid of honor!   For those of you who don't know my younger sister Katie, growing up she was my sidekick, my stage-hand, my monkey that would bang the cymbals if I asked.... basically, if I was the center of attention, she was right there to introduce me, applaud me, or be my partner in crime.   So now as we have both "grown" up, and its time for me to make the biggest decision of my life, it means the world to me that there Katie will be.... right by my side, my-stage hand, making me look better and supporting me as I change my last name once and for all. Just so we are clear, there was, however, one time when I was furious that Katie shared my stage.... when I was about 6 years old I was determined I would be a childhood star.  So my parents, indulging me in this dream, let me audition for a kids movie called "The Donut Man".  Katie, 3 at th

Crowdsourced Group Gift Guide 2020

Okay, so admittedly I am not a blogger in the sense that I do not actually know what I am doing.... so friends, bear with me - humor me, maybe - as I attempt to simply put all of the amazing ideas that so many people shared with me when I asked about gifts for Tripp, my 9 year old son, this Christmas.  I'll start with this - there are the usual suspects that if they were recommended once, they were recommended a dozen times... and it would come as no surprise, I imagine, that they included all things Lego, Nerf and _______ boards.   But there we tons of other ideas that were honestly new, to me, and I would love to share them with you! I've put them in somewhat of a category... and linked them all! Let me know what you purchase or if you have other ideas to add to this awesome resource!  Hope this is a blessing to all us parents of boys, ages 8-13 , shopping this season!
