When God put it on my heart to write a blog, (and He.kept.on.) I was like "what the heck am I going to say?" I can't even put a post or picture on Facebook. How will I write about my life and LET PEOPLE read it?
I can't even begin to describe the dialogue that went through my brain. But I figured if I didn't just go with it, I would regret not ever taking risks; taking chances because my heart just wanted to do something. So here it is. Heart of a Girl.
In order to get aquainted with you and you with me, here are my current 10 loves. Share a current love with me so I don't feel completely ridiculous and like this is a freaking waste of time. And if you do, I will love you forever and ever. So that is a plus.
1. Of course I am going to say my family. You knew that, right? But seriously. I can't believe I am going on 15 years of marriage with my husband and we have 5 beautiful kids and we are not dead yet. If you have more than 2 kids, you know what I mean about the dead part. But this is an always love, not just a current love (DUH).
2. This girl. Her writing and her heart. www.flowerpatchfarmgirl.com Not to mention if you read her latest post "How I Survive Motherhood" it's basically me. Cooking is my love language.
3. Red nail polish
4. My middle-ish girl blowing kisses to me every single morning dropping her off.
5. Friday night pizza night with my husband (and all 5 babies)
6. The Best Yes by Lysa Terkeurst. My Mom in law gave me this book for Christmas and it was pretty much the catalyst for me to start this blog. Thank you Mom T! You always find the perfect devos.
7. This wine ~> http://www.bighousewines.com/wines/cardinal-zin-beastly-old-vines/ I used to be such a wine snob and would not think of drinking boxed wine. Now I'm just too poor/old/overwhelmed with choices and I'm like Pffffft. Bring it.
8. Long phone calls with my Mom some mornings. And I am sorry that this followed the wine, Mom. It's totally not in order.
9.The friendly people at Pwublix as my twin girls call it. I know their faces and their names and for the most part they are so awesome. But if they continue to make note of the fact that I am there EVERY DAY I will delete this so fast.
10. This banana bread just came out of my oven. http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/banana-bread/51427396-6764-4b0a-a73a-78c683c703d2
Substitute sour cream and a splash of milk for buttermilk. Use half brown and half white sugar. Put the nuts, just trust me. SOOooo good!
Ok, there is a piece of this heart of mine. Share some of yours with me. Love to you all!
Kristi Tuccillo, I couldn't be more proud of you! YOU, most definitely, have been one of my greatest blessings for the past 20 years!!

Ok I know I am going off track...just saying what I am feeling....so anyway lol my current love is running! When I open my eyes in the morning I say 3 simple words...Thank you Jesus! I have a healthy breakfast, go to my prayer corner and read my 1 year devotional for women Becoming a woman at Peace by Ann Spangler...say my prayers for family and friends and whoever else is on my heart ....everyone is going thru something....prayer changes things...don't leave home without it. Ok time to put on my workout clothes and running shoes and go to the park....rain or shine! Its the best feeling in the world...listening to my favorite songs...oldies but goodies, pop rock and yes even Christian It energizes me and inspires me and some of my best thinking and talks with God are while I am running!
