I believe in miracles

Amen! The Lord is amazing. Seriously, He is so good to us. Our precious baby is doing so much better! Last Monday the infection site was open and pretty bad. It is such a hard area to keep dry. Pretty close to impossible actually. We have been praying so hard for healing for Kate and the Lord has answered our prayers. Her wound is almost closed. Yes, closed. It's a miracle. We are taking no credit and giving it all to Jesus. His hand of healing is upon her and is healing her right before our eyes. We are beyond amazed. So cool to experience something like this. Our prayer now is that it will remain closed and that no more infections will arise. This has been a really looooong road. Exhausting. Lots of tears. Pleading. You get the point. It's been a rough start at life for Kate. She has been amazing through it all. Such a tough little girl. Chris and I want to thank each of you who have been praying for our precious Kate. It means so much to us and I wish I could hug all of you. We have so much to be thankful for tonight. Thank you Jesus for working a miracle in our little miracle!

Homemade Pop Tarts

To be honest, I’m not a fan of the boxed pop tarts but homemade ones make me weak in the knees. Our local coffee shops here in Tennessee sell them and they’re my guilty pleasure. I decided to take a quiet Tuesday morning and make some with my sweet boy.

The best iced coffee, ever.

When Chris and I went to Mexico this past winter we quickly become addicted to their blended espressos. I found myself craving them when we got home so I played around with a couple of instant espressos and ended up making the best iced coffee, ever.

What you’ll need. Medaglia D’oro instant espresso Water IceCoffee creamer of your choiceHeavy cream + caramel Trust me on the instant espresso. I tried them all. This is the best. I get it at Kroger. I’ve also heard Walmart carries it as well as trusty amazon.
Step one. Get your ingredients out.

I fill my glass up halfway with water and pour a capful of instant espresso in.

Mix it real good.

Time to cool it down.

Now comes the sweet part.

This next step is money. Lordy.

If you’re feeling really naughty you can add caramel sauce. Do it.

If you’ve been wanting the recipe for the BEST homemade caramel ever then you’re in luck. This is the recipe from my mother in law. It is life changing.

Ta-Da!

Family Room DIY makeover

Remember that one time my husband bought a tv wall mount and then I decided we needed a new tv stand? And then it made me realize our dark furniture would look way better if I lightened it up? And then it was time to get rid of the old dark throw pillows and dark rug? And then all of a sudden that fireplace looked so out of place. So we gutted it. All because we put the tv on the wall!
Here’s a little walk down our DIY family room makeover.
Before.

I started with this old corner cabinet that i got for free years ago and painted chocolate brown. I dusted her off and went to town with chalk paint.

Then I got rid of the old dark rug and started changing out our throw pillows.

Then it was onto the fireplace. Before

Chris took out part of the wood floor to extend the floor of the tiny fireplace.
We also cleaned out the fireplace and sprayed it with cream paint that can withstand 1,200 degree temperatures. And then we sucked out the old volcano rock and put in this fire glass from amazon.
