Verse of the Week

Hello wonderful readers. Today's verse of the week is from Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." This verse is important to me because me and Aaron have had multiple conversations about how we are going to raise our children and what we will teach them. I do believe this verse, what you teach your children will stick with them for the rest of their lives. Give your children lots of love for sure, I think that is one of the most important things to give them. Loves.

Wednesday Recipe - Blue Moon Cupcakes

Hello my hungry readers. Today's recipe is Blue Moon Beer cupcakes with vanilla orange frosting and fresh orange slice on top. This was the very first thing I ever made for my husband, Aaron, when we were dating. 

Ingredients: 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1 3/4 cup sugar, 2 1/2 cup flour, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 3 eggs, room temperature, 1/2 tsp orange zest, 1 cup Blue Moon beer, 1/4 cup milk

Directions: 

                                               1. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. 

2. In a small bowl, mix beer and milk. 

3. In another bowl, beat butter and add sugar a little bit at a time, beat it reaaaal good. 

4. Add one egg at a time, beating after each time. 

5. Add vanilla, food color and orange zest. 

6. Alternate pouring the flour mixture and beer mixture into the butter mixture. Beer, flour, mix, beer, flour, mix (make sure you end with flour). 

7. Bake at 375 degrees for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

8. For the frosting I just buy Vanilla frosting in the jar and add a little bit of orange extract, real orange juice and orange zest. All of it is to taste.

Spending a Wonderful Weekend Together

Hello my amazing readers. A couple weekends ago me and my husband both had three days in a row off, which is a surprise, and we also had no commitments of any kind, which is more of a surprise. So we spent the whole weekend together just hanging out. Friday we had a romantic dinner at home. Saturday we drove to the place where we think we are going to move to and looked a places to live. Sunday we did absolutely nothing and sat on the couch and watched the Olympics and movies all day. Monday we went to a couple places shopping and then went to one of my favorite wineries in the area, Crooked Vine/Stoney Ridge Winery in Livermore. 

Overall the weekend was the best weekend we have had together alone since our honeymoon about 5 months ago, and it was something we needed. Hope all of your lives are going amazing. Loves. 

Verse of the Week

Today's verse of the week is Matthew 15:28. The verse is "Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour." This weeks verse is on faith. A woman had great faith in Jesus and her prayers were answered. If we have great faith in Jesus ourselves He will answer our prayers. But you also have to always keep in mind He only answers the prayers that are His will, if there is something you want that is not in His plan for you, He might not answer it because He most likely has bigger and better things for you. Just always keep that in mind when you are praying for things from Him. But always remember to have great faith in Him always. Loves.
