Cherry Coffee Cake

Happy October! Fall is a season of comfort foods and delicious coffee cakes enjoyed with mugs of steaming coffee. Today I’m sharing a new recipe recently introduced to me that will perfectly fit those autumnal menus.

Last week our small group had a fellowship dinner. We decided the theme would be Breakfast for supper. A couple of our dear friends from out of town were going to be here to join us and she wanted to make something to contribute to the meal. Her recipe was a hit with everyone! Cherry Coffee Cake was her recipe, and it tastes like a cross between a pastry and a cake. You could substitute another fruit topping, but I’m telling you that the cherry was so delicious! She was sweet enough to share her recipe with me! Thanks, Ellen!

A Fun Girl’s Trip

Last weekend my girls and I had the blessing of spending two nights together celebrating mine and Whitney’s birthdays. It had been planned for the actual day of my 65th, but I was recovering from the flu. But the sweet blessing of the Lord was that our rescheduled trip turned out even better than we had originally planned!

The Secret of Contentment

You can listen to even more details on this topic on the RefreshHer podcast.

I remember when my girls were little; we would use their play phones as I taught them how to make a call if there was an emergency. We went over how they were to dial 9-1-1, then would need to give their name and address. Thank the Lord we never had to use that, but what a comfort to know that help was there, should we need it.

In a physical emergency situation, we’ve been programmed to call “9-1-1.” In a spiritual emergency we need to call up Psalm 9-1-1 – that is, Psalm 91:1. It reads, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Why is this a good passage in an emergency?

Pricey Breakfast Food Made at Home

This past weekend my girls and I had a fantastic time celebrating mine and Whitney’s birthdays. I’ll share more of the fun details on Friday’s post, but here’s a little bit of how we spent our three days and two nights together.

We traveled to Whitney’s house and we stayed there, but they had made plans for us to go out and enjoy their favorite restaurants and shops in the area. However, we ate breakfast at Whitney’s house both mornings. Alli was in charge of that meal. She really likes to try new things for that morning meal, and both of her offerings were really good, but the second day was super good!

Outfits to Transition from Summer to Fall

September 22, 2023September 23, 2023 RefreshHer4 Comments

Packing for a trip, no matter how small is my least favorite thing to do, especially when the seasons are transitioning. “Will it be hot in the day and cool at night? Will I need a jacked? Will it be too hot for jeans? Is a dress too cool for the evening?” These are the kind of questions that I think about when choosing what to pack.

I’m going on a “girl’s trip” with my daughters this weekend, so I’ve been selecting what I’ll need for our three days and two nights together. I’m sharing the outfits today in hopes that you’ll get some inspiration for these warm/cool days of the early fall!
