Pumpkin Pancakes.

I had a great sleep last night and woke up refreshed and ready to take on this day determined to be super productive.
Last year Iowa Girl Eats made some pumpkin pancakes that were pretty divine. However, her recipe used a whole wheat pancake mix, and unfortunately I didn't have that on hand this morning. I love my mom's pancake recipe more than anything (even Swedish pancakes) so I wanted to incorporate the two. Folks... this is an Erica Carlson original recipe and it is delicious. I do not have to give credit to any other blog for these puppies! I am feeling pretty proud right now :)
 I ate all 4 of these...
 I love having coffee while cooking breakfast... gives you that extra boost


 phew! perfection.
 so fluffy, pumpkiny, cinnamony and delicious!

Pumpkin Pancakes
Recipe from the kitchen of ERICA!
Makes 8 pancakes

3/4 C Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 Tblsp sugar
1 tsp apple pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
MIX then add:
1 Tbls oil
1 egg white
1/2 C skim milk+ 1/2 T vinager (let sit for a min to make buttermilk)
1/4 C pumpkin puree

YUM! Say hello to fall... 

My family loves pancakes. My favorite Sunday's would be the ones where after church we would have breakfast for lunch. My mom would mix up the batter, get the sausage ready and make a fruit salad. As soon as we would hear the garage door (signaling my dad home from closing up the church) my mom would start the griddle. There was always so much anticipation waiting for the pancakes to be done. Today I am grateful that we ate as a family everyday. Life is built around the table. Phones are away and there is no where to hide. 
My mom is in Utah on a girls trip this weekend and my dad LOVES pumpkin pancakes. Dad, I wish you were sitting around the table enjoying these with me.

xo.

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
