Have you guys heard the song Love like Crazy by Lee Brice? I LOVE that song. It just speaks to me. The chorus goes like this: Be a best friend, tell the truth And overuse "I love you" Go to work, do your best Don't outsmart your common sense Never let your prayin' knees get lazy And love like crazy Those words make me cry. I have always tried to live my life this way so I’m sure that’s why the words speak to me so much. Be a best friend…I absolutely believe in being best … [Read more...]

I made this recipe the other day and it was super yummy!! I put it in the crock pot and just let it go. I know soups aren’t always welcome in the hot summer months. But using the crock pot actually keeps your house cooler than the oven so I like to use it a lot during the summer. 1/2 cup diced ham {I’ve seen this done with bacon too} 4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cups water 3 cups corn 2 teaspoons salt ground … [Read more...]
