		<title>Stocking Stuffers &#8211; WFMW</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This posts is part of a blog carnival over at WeAreThatFamily &#8211; check it out for more holiday tips.
After the days of Santa Claus were over, our family continued the tradition of stockings on Christmas morning. I just love the little trinkets, candy and stuff you get in a stocking. This idea could get the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=162&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Worry Prayer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other night, I found myself in prayer – the worry prayer. I’m sure we’ve all done this from time to time. Something is weighing on your mind and you know you should trust God with it, so every few minutes you offer up a prayer to Him about it. While talking with God is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=158&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cultivating a Thankful Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I felt the need today to remind myself of the many ways God has blessed me. I know Thanksgiving is still a month away, but this is something we need to do all the time. I’m so blessed yet sometimes I feel myself falling into the trap of wanting more. So here’s my exercise of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=156&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Living in Rands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A necessary widget to have on your desktop when you live in a foreign country is a currency converter. 
When we first moved to Swaziland &#8211; whose currency is tied to the South African Rand, the US dollar to Rand ratio was 1:10. It was nice and easy to understand how much you were paying [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=155&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Friends</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I scrambled and found I could make roasted potatoes and carrot and chicken strips. We had corn and green salad as well. I kept the bread in the kitchen because I didn&#8217;t want to tempt them. Oh and apple crisp with oats instead of flour for dessert. Everything turned out great! 
It was a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=143&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dinner Guests</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so my husband just got a text from our dinner guests tonight saying they can&#8217;t eat bread or dairy products.
Umm, currently making homemade rolls for tonight and planning on making a beef, cheesey noodle bake dish.
Scrambling and making up something to cook.
Realizing that we eat A LOT of pasta, cheese and bread. Hmm. Should [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=141&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dogs, Meds, and Pee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cocoa went back to the vet to have his bandage changed &#8211; which is really good because he peed on it a couple of times &#8211; it&#8217;s hard being a boy dog and unable to lift your leg.
They also checked the sutures and said it&#8217;s all looking good. He came back with two drugs in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=138&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cocoa&#8217;s Turn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a traumatic evening Monday night. Everything was great &#8211; cooking spaghetti and green salad for dinner, beautiful evening, and the dogs were running happily around the yard. Our neighbors pulled in their driveway and our dogs went crazy. They love to run along the fence, where their driveway runs, and bark at their [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=126&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forgive me for my neglect of this blog &#8211; for the past year we&#8217;ve lived in Swaziland and not had internet access at home. When I was at the office, where wireless internet was available, updating the blog did not receive the priority it deserved. We have now moved to Durban, South Africa and our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kristinevans.wordpress.com&blog=2558350&post=124&subd=kristinevans&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
