Texas Bound

Meet Jefe and Kelly...they are the new owners of our fifth wheel and truck! He makes documentaries and she is a seamstress in costume design. We couldn't be more thrilled, they are an awesome couple.

Matt spent the day with them giving instruction on their new home while I entertained the girls around Boulder. They are leaving tomorrow morning to drive back home to Austin, Texas. And the funny thing is that Matt is FLYING to Austin tomorrow morning! It just so happened that the truck we're buying to replace this one is in Austin. Crazy.

Goodbye mobile life! :) I'm sure we'll see you again someday...

Before Bella was born, I was a Pampered Chef consultant! I LOVED it and I still LOVE their products. I use so many of their products daily and they make life in the kitchen so much smoother. If you haven't seen their products lately, be sure to take a peek. So many great, high quality items.

I'm holding an online catalog show this week only (closing Monday 12/12) and would love it if you would place an order so I can get a few pieces that I've been wanting! :)

CLICK HERE TO GO SHOPPING! (enter my name...Sara Janssen...to get to my site)

Here is a list of my favorite items:

Apple Wedger: I’ve tried SO many knock-offs of this wedger. Nothing compares. Pretty much ALL of their specialty cutting tools rock my world.

Batter Bowls: I use the Classic Batter Bowl almost daily!

Quick-Stir Pitcher: I love both the small and large sizes of this pitcher. So handy.

Stoneware Muffin Pan: We make a lot of muffins and this piece of stoneware bakes them evenly every time!

Bar Pan: Probably my favorite PC item. I use it for everything from cookies to roasting veggies. If you eat bacon, this is the ONLY way to cook it! Lay them out and cook in the oven…which means no bacon “smell” in your kitchen! :)

Pizza Stone: Yes please! Super high quality pizza stone. They’ve added molded handles since I was selling…so excited.

Food Chopper: A Pampered Chef classic! Nuts, onions, chocolate, veggies, you name it. Save time and clean up!!

Knives: You can’t go wrong with their cutting tools. Awesome.

Bamboo Salad Tongs: Love these.

Sweet Caramel Sprinkle: If you’re looking for a little treat with your latte, oatmeal, pancakes, and more…don’t miss this! I discovered this recently and we love it!

Medium Scoop: If you make cookies…I’m not sure how you can live without this little gem! Use the large scoop for no-mess muffins.

While I adore my Kindle, I also love the feel of a "real" book in my hands. Here is what I am reading right now:

An Altar In The World: A Geography of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor I'm just getting into this and I love her perspective on how to bring your faith into all parts of life.

When Women Long for Rest: God's Peace for Your Overwhelmed Life by Cindi McMenamin A super practical book for when you're looking for ways to slow down and find peace.

Let Prayer Change Your Life by Becky Tirabassi A classic that I go back to over and over. I have recommended this so many times over the years. If you want a kick start in your prayer life, read this!

Sacred Rhythms: Arranging Our Lives for Spiritual Transformation by Ruth Haley Barton Just getting into this one as well. I've had it for quite some time, but after Natalie told me how much she loved it...I pulled it off the shelf again.

Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream by David Platt Love his thoughts on how "stuff" can clutter our life and how Christians can respond to materialism.
