Brunch

Yesterday we woke up early to a sunlit house and made our way to the kitchen for a hot cup of coffee and lots of baking to finish before 10am. We were baking for two very special people - Matt and Susan - who in less than three weeks will be married. We're just a bit excited for them! Yesterday Todd and I, along with some of our closest friends, attended a special brunch to celebrate the...

I Love Him

I often mention my husband on this little blog for obvious reasons, but today he deserves a full post. Let me tell you why... He makes me laugh until I cry. Even when I don't want to laugh at his jokes, I can't help it. Sometimes he just makes funny faces (which he's really good at) and I lose it. He can put the biggest smile on my face. He loves having me around. I don't think he has...

Since I'm 27 I thought it would be fun to check it out. I found...

Super Bowl 2010

This year marked the third annual Stepp Super Bowl Extravaganza. Todd's parents bought us a big screen TV when we moved into our house, so we thought, what better use for it than to have them out to watch the biggest sporting event at our house with some of our closest friends? We had the perfect mix of guests: huge sports fans and foodies. Speaking of the food... We made The Pioneer Woman's...

Life In A Bubble

I didn't grow up in a bubble. I actually grew up in the very opposite of a bubble. My parents divorced when I was six. I didn't go to church regularly. My relationship with my high school boyfriend (who now, praise the Lord is my husband) got serious way too fast and we were way too young. The consequences of sin were very real to me. They were in my face daily. And although I was forced to deal...
