2013 - Hannah's Heartstrings

The Happy Medium

Everything is an extreme. Black and white. There are no grey areas. And if you think its a grey area, its probably sin. You can't walk the fence. You're either all in or all out. Or at least that's what we've believed. We had good intentions. We started out well. We saw what we didn't want and decided

Dear World

Dear Music, Magazines, Celebrities, Advertisements, Movies, and anything having to do with American culture... Dear World-as-we-know-it... Please stop. Please stop telling people, especially the young ones, that drugs, tobacco and alcohol are okay. Because they aren't. I'm so tired of seeing the lives of the people I love ruined, or at the very least, damaged by these addictive

Fudgy No-Bakes {my version}

One of my favorite things is Almond Flour. Thankfully its not hard to make if you have some sort of food processor, because the already processed stuff tends to be super expensive. Recently, though, I wondered how other nuts would work, since I had seen Hazelnut flour someplace. What about Cashews? Usually I'm too too protective over my

While I'm Waiting

To my friend. I'm waiting. Remember that scene in Fireproof when all he can do is wait? He's done everything, and now all he can do is pray, hope and wait for some kind of a response from his wife. He knows he may never get one. But still he waits. Patient. Aching. Hopeful. I know how that

Hannah's Special Pumpkin Pie

You really have no idea how ecstatically excited I am about this. I mean, literally, I almost cried when it was finished, and I jumped and danced around the kitchen for a good fifteen minutes after taking the first bite. I am just elated over this. I have not had pumpkin pie for over four years. This year,

My Food Life {and what I really think}

{Warning: This is a rant. This is not pointed at anyone in particular. This is simply how I feel and what I am never able to say to people.) It would be a gross understatement to say that food is a big part of my life. Sometimes I feel that food IS my life. Figuring out what to

Love is (not) all we need

Marriage is about love. Love and family and equality. Love, love, love. All we need is love. Or so they say. You know who ‘they’ are. They are the ones whose ‘pride’ we are forced to tolerate, meanwhile anything that offends them is quickly silenced or sentenced. That’s pretty irritating, but what’s worse is the ideas they are

Skirt Refashion

I basically love anything Old Navy makes. Such comfy, stylish clothing! So I was really excited about the short grey tiered skirt I found in my bag of clothes to refashion. Refashioned from size XL to size S. I used one of my other skirts to figure out how much to cut off from each side. The waistband

Refashion Adventure {part 1}

So I recently discovered a bag of clothes in my parents' basement. My mom had been given them by a friend, but they were too big for her. She was just going to get rid of them. But I couldn't let them go that easily! So many pretty things...and all about 3-4 sizes too big for me. So

Courtship: I think we've messed it up

Let me start out by clarifying a few things. With all my heart, I believe that marriage is a wonderful, beautiful and God-ordained institution. I believe it should be treasured, protected and fought for at all costs. I believe that relationships leading up to marriage should be held with a high level of importance, and that those who

I Got Kissed and I Like Harry Potter: Things I Said I'd Never Do

Some time ago (over two and a half years ago, in fact), I posted about saving my first kiss for marriage. This post came about three months before I met the man who would become my husband and ultimately change my life forever. It is very interesting to now step back and see just how much I have

Of Bruises, Bones and Dandy Candy

Life is always interesting. I ended up crashing with a cold that has been circulating Kyle's family since July. Took its good old time getting to me, but alas it caught up to me and thankfully I had the weekend off to fight the worst of it. I do have a point to saying this, other than just

I Hope You're Uncomfortable

To my future children, and the currently growing up generation of kids and teenagers, Welcome. You are taking your first steps into the world of adulthood, where you will ultimately spend most of your life, if you live long enough. It can be scary here. There are huge responsibilities, bills that are due, people that are mean and

Yard Sale Advice for Buyers and Sellers

Ok. So, I am very much a tightwad, so things like yard sales and thrift stores absolutely thrill me. I mean, where else can you find such treasure for such amazing prices? Its like Christmas for adults! I’ve learned a lot of tricks for maximizing yard sale potential over the past few years. My mom and I have

Things I've learned in my first month of marriage

Its been a good month. Well, month and a half now that I’m getting to writing this. The wedding went beautifully, the honeymoon was so much fun, and the beginning of our life after has been full of relaxing and enjoying spending lots of time together. And I've learned a few significant things. I guess I could better

The words I can't say

Oh Hello. Its you. I can tell you’re surprised to see me. You don’t say anything, barely a greeting, and quickly avert your eyes from mine. I would give you a hug, but I decide I probably shouldn't. You wouldn't like it. I had hoped there would be a slight chance you’d be glad to see me. Just
