All-Natural Slow-Cooker Applesauce
Hello, hello, dear friends! Despite having posted in November, it feels like it has been such a long time since I’ve written about our journey. (Grab a cup of tea or coffee! It’s time for a dish sesh!) John and I are finally settled in our new home. Our PCS (a move sponsored by the […]
Hopin’ and Prayin’: Waiting for Orders
This is big. In the next four weeks (or, really, any length of time as the Navy sees fit), John will get his next orders for his station after deployment, and we’ll start planning our move to Wherever the Navy Sends Him, USA (or Not USA, who knows?).

Forgotten Ghosts Cookie Recipe
John and I haven’t been able to decorate for Halloween this year.

But that hasn’t stopped […]
