So, I Went to Brazil

My husband got the honor of being ordained into ministry this November. We took a trip to Brazil for the occasion and I pointed my camera at a few things.


This is Asher. A friendly pup that was outside our window.


One of the days we spent at a wonderful family's home! We had Italian lasagna and chicken for lunch. Then  we finished the meal off with dark, sweet coffee and homemade lime gelato. Everything was so delicious!



















Since, I'm always bugging my husband about expanding his palate. I tried expanding mine. You'll see a tiny chicken heart next to my fork below. Very cliche to say, I know, but it really did taste like chicken.




These next two photos are taken from inside the largest mall in Latin America. It was so crowded and apparently Brazilians walk slower than Americans, which was very strange for me because in the United States I walk slow and I was speedy there. One image is a piece of a tree root that was uprooted to build the mall. I'm not sure what they did to it, but it looked shiny, sculpted, and awesome. You might be able to tell the size by the people to the side of the photo. The other is a cute bird sculpture we found.

The sidewalks of Mogi Mirim, Brazil looked like this. This was taken in a centralized park area after an afternoon shower.

Operation Christmas Child

I had my Etsy shop and my family combine efforts and finances to support Operation Christmas Child. Through the the non-profit organization Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child collects shoe boxes full of holiday treats to distribute worldwide to children. I am so excited about this organization and plan on making it a holiday tradition for my household. I'll be donating these to my church this weekend. They are setting a goal of 4,000 boxes this year! I'm glad I was able to contribute.

The last image is the contributions from my Etsy sales that were donated.

Butterfly on my Doorstep

I found this little guy on my front doormat this week. And no, he isn't dead. He flew off a few minutes later.

Backroom Redesign

I'm breathing easy with my backroom redecorated! Most of the key pieces in the photos were given to us by family members (decorative screen, handmade coffee table, 'man' chair, and shag rug). You'll also see our Rhodes piano with a whiteboard backdrop ready for my husband's ministry ideas to be written all over it. And that sweet, quirky pillow was purchased on Etsy a few years back.
