An Easy Treat For Your Valentine Sweet!

Although I do like to bake, there is nothing spectacular that comes from my oven! I was not gifted with creativity in any way! I"m okay with that, and understand that those great decorating ideas are just not going to flow into spectacular desserts from my kitchen. But, living in a house of boys, truly the way to those hearts is through the stomach and who doesn't love a homemade treat?

Here is an easy recipe for cookies, it is adaptable, fun and delicious!

These are the only ingredients:
1 cake yellow cake mix
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
decorative sprinkles

All you do is mix the ingredients in a bowl, use a teaspoon to measure and roll the dough into a ball. Place these on the cookie sheet You can use several things to top these cookies, a Hershey's kiss, morsels, sprinkles etc.


Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until golden. You can also spread icing over these when they are cool..


Trust me, if I can do these, you can! It is a quick, easy way to spread some Valentine love!

    I just made a similar cookie this week, but the recipe I used call for a block of cream cheese. Sadly, hubby never had a chance to taste one. His wife ate most of them!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
