Reflections~Twas the weekend before school starting

In no particular order, but I do hope you find comfort in them.  I am sending my oldest into the work force as a teacher at a new to her school Monday, and will move my youngest into her apartment next week where she will be attending grad school.  So while we are out of the traditional school years, we still get those same butterflies.

I pray all have a fabulous start to the new school year and feel Him close!  Remember, you are your child's advocate and the one thing you can control is praying for him/her!!!

What's for Dinner Wednesday~

My daughter found this recipe for Black Bean Jalapeno Poppers while searching pinterest, and while it is meant to be an appetizer we halved the recipe and served it alongside chicken breasts sprinkled with Denny Mike's Chick Magnet seasoning blend (found at Whole Foods).

They were super easy to make and were quite delicious.  Great for an appetizer or side dish. And, much healthier than the traditionally fried version.

The recipe can be found here.

Enjoy!

Reflections for the Impending School Year~

In no particular order...

Spend them wisely!

Love this quote from Winnie the Pooh.

Amen!

and AMEN!!!

And, all the teachers say AMEN!!!

Mom's of teenagers can relate!

Ain't that the truth.

More truth.

By the grace of God!

Hang in there all you first timers!!

Remember to pray for your children's teachers, they often spend more time with your child on a daily basis than you do!

While I am now a mom of a high school teacher and one starting graduate school in just a few weeks, I sooooo remember those first day jitters.  My prayer is that you and your child will have a great start to the new school year.  Hard to believe it is just a week away for some in our home state of Georgia!!

Have a blessed Sunday!
