A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Camping! We FINALLY got to take our first camping trip of the season.

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Puzzles. We decided to jump on the “let’s do a puzzle as a family” bandwagon.

I got this recipe from Beth Moore’s blog years ago. She encouraged her followers to contribute their favorite recipes and I think there was even a cookbook born out of it.
