On Monday it was extremely cold all day so we had my Easy Tomato Soup for dinner. Except this time, I made some homemade croutons to pair with it. I debated about sharing this because it’s nothing fancy or mind-blowing. But I will tell you, it added just the perfect amount of crunch and topping to an already tasty soup.
On Wednesday, I mentioned how one of my
A goal that will last an entire year is not completely my style. I prefer goal-setting in small increments of time to feel the progress and success. However, this year a few ideas kept coming to the front of my mind again and again. If anything, they were more of God’s way of perhaps nudging me to focus a little more attention on these areas than I have in the past. That my friends, I just can’t ignore. My goals are more of a prayer that I hope to be more intentional about in 2017.
