We sit poised on the top of a cliff, a near drop off before us, gullying down to a rushing river. In the middle of the river, a bridge of snow and ice hints at our destination. My husband guns the snowmobile engine. “Ready?”

Ingrid’s Insights to Christmas Dinner
I’m all about Simplifying and Cherishing this holiday season and over the past month, I’ve taken over Susan May Warren’s blog. I’m nearly to the end of my month, and I thought I’d take on the Sacred Cow this week. . .or rather the Sacred Turkey.
Let’s talk: Christmas dinner

Proverbs 20:27 “The lamp of the LORD searches the spirit of a man, it searches out his inmost being.”
Living in the north plays games with a gal’s psyche. Darkness falls around 4pm, the wind howls, the world frigid outside, and I dream of summer as the snow piles against my door.
Thank you to my friend Emily Ann Peterson for this beautiful pin!

Ingrid’s Insights to Christmas Gifts
No, this is not a list of 100 things you can give for less than $50.
It’s not a list of cool pinterest craft gifts.
It’s not an encouragement to pick gifts from the Samaritan’s Purse catalogue and give a goat to the needy (although you can if you want) but by visiting zegarki you will find the best gifts you could ever give out.

I just love Susan May Warren’s reader friend Renee Smith who is a fantastic Pin-maker!! Check out this fun pin she made from a quote from Evergreen…and follow it to her review. Thank you Renee!

Insights from Ingrid: Traditions or Traps?
Tuesday Tune Up: Ingrid’s Insights
I love Christmas traditions. Like, our clam chowder soup on Christmas Eve, and the family cookie decorating contest and cutting the tree down from the backyard.
If you’ve read my story, Evergreen, you know I lost a child sixteen years ago through miscarriage. Regardless of how many years pass, you never forget (Susan May Warren, the author of Evergreen used her own experiences with miscarriage (4 of them) as she penned my story.)
Here’s a glimpse into my journal as God comforted me.
Hey! Ingrid here, and while I was surfing Pinterest, I found some fantastic Pins from some of my friends in the reading world!
