Ever Get a Craving?

I did yesterday, for bruschetta!  I got called to serve Jury Duty for the first time in my life, so I had a lot of time on my hands to think about food!  While sitting in a hot court room, shoulder to shoulder with a hundred other people in Wilson County, I scrolled through Pinterest to try and decide what to cook for supper.  That’s when I came across my own recipe for Bruschetta.  My mouth waters right now just thinking about it.  The movie Julie and Julia inspired me for this recipe.  If you haven’t watched it, you totally should.  And if you haven’t ever made Bruschetta, you should totally do that too!  Bruschetta Recipe - Click Here

For each new day, morning and night  And restful sleep until the next daylight  For laughter, shelter, food and friends And EVERYTHING in between for we not know when it may all end.  ~ keila s. mcknight

3 years later....

...wednesday november 13, 2019 I'm not sure why, when I was up at 4:30 a.m. walking my dogs in the 30 degree Texas weather, I had the idea that, "today, I am going to update my blog!"  But I did. And so I did.  Update the blog, that is. So welcome to 2019 Mocha Mornings!  Let's see what kind of craziness we can get into.

How Do You Grill?

It's been a while since I've actually read a newspaper. So, what better thing to do when traveling from Wyoming to Texas, pulling a camper in a truck with 3 kids, your husband and a dog? Read the USA Today, of course! So, how do you grill? I use the gas grill. The hubs uses the charcoal. A house divided I suppose!

Remembering the Good Times

It's amazing how a kid's mind works. The things they recall at such a young age and the way they express it.   Little League Football has returned to our home.  There is a gap between the teenagers and the littles, so it's been a few years since we have sat on the side lines at a little league football game. I'm not going to lie, it's a little painful. The disorganization. The confusion.  The whinning.  And then there are the tired parents sitting in their camping chairs who you know have only three things on their minds.  What am I cooking for dinner?  I'll never get them to do their homework.  How do I keep them awake long enough to get them bathed?  Ethan is QB for his 4th grade team.  He's doing great for his first year and he does great at remembering plays and making long passes to the receivers.  He scored his first touchdown last night, which was really cool.  However, once we got home and the hype had settled down, the drama from the exhaustion sat

#2 Speak Without Accusing

Wow. What a day. Hurt feelings, friendships teetering on edge,  drama, nonsense and exhaustion. Sometimes we all experience down right crummy days. Today was my turn.  It's 7:51 pm and I am finally home after a quick trip to the store and Jaxon's last flag football game of the season. Essential oil in the diffuser. Silence and an empty house for a moment. A chance to catch my breath for the first time today.  Speak without Accusing.  James 1:19 ~ " My dear brothers and sisters,  take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." My interpretation of this: Listen. Wait. Respond. Keep no record of wrong doing. Be kind to each other, tender hearted and forgiving to one another.   Love is patient.  I came across a book review, popped over to Amazon, and placed my order after reading only the first couple of reviews. If you are Dave Ramsey nazi's like us, you will be happy to know that he endorses these books. "Love and
