26 Oct Buenaventura
Last week I flew to California to look for a house. Todd was already there for work. He’s going to be back and forth a bit until we make the big move. He met me at the airport and we drove up to the area...

Oh my goodness, friends. August was rough. On a personal level, August was a very good month. I wrote a TON and had some wonderful times with my family. But my nation faced some very difficult times this month. From riots in Charlottesville, to Hurricane...

It’s been way too long. I’ve had my reasons excuses for staying away, but now I’m back! I thought the best way to catch you all up on the Life of Treats would be to link up to “What I’m Into” with Leigh Kramer again....
19 Aug I love camping!
A few weeks ago I said this to a friend. Actually, several friends, in several different conversations. Since Camilla was born, we have only camped a handful of times and every one of those times it was for one night in somebody's backyard. Breakfast was...

Ah! The hour or so after naptime and before dinner--not exactly my favorite time of day unless I remember to savor it. The boy usually needs a good long snuggle after he wakes from his nap. If I'm in the middle of making dinner, this...
05 Oct Where Did Summer Go?
I know it's October 5th, but just a few weeks ago I was on the beach in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was 80 degrees and sunny. I love autumn. Really, I do. But today it's raining and dreary and I'm missing those...
31 Aug My Story (or one of them, anyway)
On a weekend in mid-August, I was blessed to be part of a reuniting of hearts in Colorado Springs. Twelve years ago, forty college students from all over the United States (with one from South Africa) became the 7th class of the little-known Focus on...
28 May Hatteras Island Adventures
We just got back from the Outer Banks where Todd, Camilla, and I had a much-needed time of togetherness and relaxation. We spent a weekend with Todd's sister in Jacksonville, NC, and then headed on to the town of Avon for a week. The day...
27 Sep Trip to California: Part V, Los Angeles
My brother, Seth, and his wife, Mandy, live close to LA. My little brother, Jonathan, lives with them, too. So we invaded their house from Thursday, August 21st, till Sunday, August 24th. On Thursday, we just hung out in their condo. Seth grilled on the...
27 Sep Trip to California: Part IV, Driving Down the Pacific Coast Highway
We had a great time with the Graves family in the Bay Area. A few things I forgot to mention: they took us to Buena Vista for Irish Coffee and they introduced us to Dim Sum! Yum! I'm probably forgetting something else, too. Thanks, Cory...
