Gluten Free Peanut Butter Bars

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Munchkin and D love Reese’s peanut butter cups, and their favorite kinds are the specialty ones at the holidays as there is more peanut butter in those.

I decided to change them up a little as the original bars are not gluten free due to the recipe calling for graham cracker crumbs. The result was absolutely delicious. Gluten Free Peanut Butter Bars Recipe Ingredients: 2 cups almond flour 1 cup butter (I used salted as I wanted some of that saltiness) 1 cup peanut…

Our Crazy Military Life: Another Change

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Life as a military family is never dull. Nope… It’s always filled with interesting twists and turns that keep you on your toes. When we learned that there was the possibility that we’d be receiving orders to Okinawa, Japan, our family groaned as this was not in our plans.

The Legend of the Sand Dollar

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

The Legend of the Sand Dollar There’s a pretty little legend That I would like to tell Of the birth and death of Jesus Found in this lowly shell If you examine closely, You’ll see that you find here Four nail holes and a fifth one Made by a Roman’s Spear. On one side the Easter Lily, Its center is the star That appeared unto the wisemen And led them from afar. The Christmas poinsettia Etched on the other side Reminds us of His birthday Our Happy Christmastide. Now break the center open And here you will release The five…
