Mi Querida Familia: I Done Gone and Done It

I Done Gone and Done It

I opened the package of chocolate chips in the refrigerator. This is not good, people. I love stuffing handfuls of shredded mozzarella cheese into my mouth. It makes me want to cry when avocados go bad. They are so dang expensive and when they go bad it's so much yumminess in the trash. Pioneer Woman is my hero. She makes money at two things I love: photography and food. I mean really. Life must be rough for her. I'm a total heat wimp and now that I've been in the air conditioned house for 3 whole hours I'm ready for hot chocolate. And is Fall her yet already? Because I'm ready for peppermint chocolate coffee and chai tea lattes and my snow boots and sweaters. Mozzarella cheese quesadillas are better than regular ones (with cheddar). Salmon is the only healthy thing I can think of that I'd eat in mass quantities right now. Milk straight out of the carton tastes better than in a glass. Unless oreo cookies are involved. Now, where's that bag of chocolate chips gone off to?

I'm Renee. I am first, and only, a child of the King of Kings. I am a wife to my husband who grew up in Costa Rica, and Mama to my two boys, one still on the way. Home is in Colorado Springs, but it's also been in Costa Rica and San Diego. We raise a bilingual household. I am a small business owner. I use cloth diapers, I make my own baby food and I am proud to be a Babywise mom. I am opinionated, outgoing and bold, but Jesus daily brings forth loveliness. I am a Southern California girl who says ya'll and I like to start my sentences with conjunctions. I worship loudly with my eyes closed, my hands up, and (usually) tears streaming down. Writing and speaking are great loves of mine. Skin care is my trade. Jesus and his people are my reason for being and my boys - the most important people in my life - get my kisses daily. I believe in living BIG. In giving EXTRAVAGANTLY. And in loving DEEPLY.
