Monday Musings // Caleigh's Giveaway!!

Hello friends! I was recently inspired to a do quick, impromptu "Monday Musings" post. What is that, you ask? Just a bunch of life randomness, a picture or two, and a special announcement swirled in. So, let's get to it!

First off, I just want to thank you all SO MUCH for helping this blog obtain SIXTY FOLLOWERS. ​😱😱😱 I am continually in awe at the way God works through this little corner of the web to bless and encourage others. And coming on one day and seeing I've reached the next milestone in the blogging world? (*screams*) You guys are pretty amazing, and I don't know what I'd do without you! ((*ice cream for everyone!*))


On another note, Mom has been making some recipes using zucchinis and our ugly, ripe bananas. (wow, judging from that description, these creations don't sound too appetizing, do they? xD on the contrary, they're super luscious. she's pulling three fresh loaves of round wheat bread out of the oven as I type.) πŸ˜‹




And finally, now that your mouths are watering from the pics of zucchini bread and banana-and-peanut-butter smoothies, it's time for the announcement. 😊

My sweet email/pen/blogger friend, Caleigh C., has just launched her very first giveaway on her little nook of the internet, Caleigh's Random Thoughts! The prize is great and the rules are simple, so I encourage y'all to hop on over and enter! CLICK ANYWHERE IN THIS SENTENCE TO VISIT HER POST. 

That completes my Monday Musings post for this week (maybe I'll have to turn this into a regular thing, eh?). TTYL!!

Blessings,

Ellen S.

  8. The smoothie looks really good! Have you ever had squash casserole? My mom’s friend makes it when she has a lot of zucchini and it’s really good! I think it has squash (can be yellow or zucchini) eggs, cheese, and probably heavy cream or something on the lines of that? Anyway, just something yummy to use zucchini’s in πŸ˜‹

    1. Squash casserole is so good! My family loves to eat it during the summer! We've never had it with zucchini, though! It sounds good though!
