Another side project I have on the go is finally painting the apartment we've lived in for 4 years. Matt said we should paint when we moved in, and I am finally ready to admit he was right. So we have had a lot of fun together looking at different colours, reading up on interior design, and choosing what to put on our walls.
Of course, people who invent colours can't use the regular names for colours that I learned by reading crayons. If you thought taupe or cyan were weird names, just steer clear of paint stores or websites.
For your pleasure and amusement (as well as my own) I have invented a new system whereby you can choose what colour to paint your room, home, nails or dog. Simply take the word that corresponds with your month of birth and the word that corresponds with what day your birthday falls on - that's your colour! All yours, a personal gift from me to you.
Enjoy.

Over the past several months I have been part of a curriculum-writing team for junior high ministry. The curriculum is now live, and I wanted to spread the word about this great, FREE resource.
Check out the first lessons for junior high and senior high curriculum by clicking the image above or following this link, and the rest of the curriculum should be posted shortly, as the editing process has been completed.

I have been meaning to post this recipe for a while since it was a delicious make-ahead breakfast and would be a tasty snack as well. The quiches are lined with meat instead of pastry, so it is low-carb and very flavorful. I modified this recipe and was happy with the results, although it is extremely flexible and could be modified according to whatever ingredients you have on hand.
To start, I sauteed half a cup each of minced onion and mushrooms in about a tablespoon of butter.
While that was going, I whisked 6 eggs, some cream and a half cup of chopped spinach.
