It has been a while...

How long has it been? Too long, I suppose. Well, the truth is, I've been struggling with the decision of ending my journey here.

Last year, I started a cooking blog with my sister and since then, I've realized I only have time for one blog. So, that brings me to here and now. *sniffs* Yes, it's time to wave goodbye to many happy years of blogging. I am so happy to have met the amazing peopleof bloger world. Thany you, thank you, thank you to my followers, sponsors, and blogging buddies.

Keep up with me on our new blog!

Please follow my new blog here- www.two-in-the-kitchen.blogspot.com.

Goodbye...for now.

Gift Ideas

Isn't it true we always wonder what to get people for Christmas? It's surely true for me! :) Here are simple, yet creative and thoughtful gifts that we have made for friends and family over the years.

Oreo Pops

from Lulu the Baker

  

Peppermint Stick Cocoa 

from My Recipes

Peppermint Bark

from Two {Sisters} in the Kitchen

Mmmmm...now I'm just going to have to make some of these! :D

Have a wonderful day,

It's that time of year...

...When decorations are brought out...

...The baking begins...

...and the music of the season is played.

Hoping your Christmas preparations are going well and you are enjoying the beauty of the season.

Love,

The Hobbit

I can't believe almost 4 years ago people were saying the hobbit would come out "next year". Now, 4 years later, it is almost time! :) Needless to say, I am very excited about the adaption of one of my favorite books of all time.

Recent movie posters...

Important characters...

I can't wait to see how this movie turns out! I will post a review, once I actually see it. 

 (Less than a month, now!)

That's all for now,

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Today is my wonderul mother's birthday. I thank God for giving me such a good roll model, teacher, coach, and everything else she does for all of us.

We all love you so much and thank God for blessing us with such an amazing and Godly woman! :)

I love you so much.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

P.S. To see the winner of the "Silver Lotus Designs" giveaway- see the original post! :)

Isaiah 40:28-31

Isaiah 40:28-31 "Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Please take time to pause and truly ponder these amazing words.

Love,
