Erik & Julie Benson: April 2012
http://erikjulie.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Come on baby, light my fire …. Everybody loves a bonfire, right? What’s not to love? The circle formed around the fire conjures up a sense of community and fellowship, which our human need for is too often underestimated. they are warm, comfortable, and oh so mesmerizing. I don’t know of anyone who can help but stare into the flames as they flicker shades of orange, red, and pink, with occasional bursts of blues and greens. Notice my lack of vegetarianism. sorry.}. THEN, you co...

Erik & Julie Benson: May 2012
http://erikjulie.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 25, 2012. Goin’ to the chapel …. Ever since exchanging vows with my hot hunk of a husband, weddings have made me. Kind of a sap. maybe it’s silly, but I see so much significance in proclaiming your love and promising to work on that love in front of all the important people in your life. and in front of God. because, whoever takes a vow with God lightly … well, I just wouldn’t suggest it. It’s a huge commitment. it’s a huge proclamation. it’s just pretty much HUGE. Many years later. erik ...

Erik & Julie Benson: September 2012
http://erikjulie.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. I’ve been told by a few too many people that I should start another blog … like, a “real” blog {whatever that means}. I assume they suggest such an idea to give me a more notable outlet to share my life stories via the creative world of blogging. Make sense? I guess the whole “erik and julie” themed blog isn’t exactly was drives people to read your posts about oatmeal. The reason I landed on this name {again … it took months, and I’m still working on. With God’s grace, m...

Erik & Julie Benson: December 2011
http://erikjulie.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 23, 2011. That’s why it’s called “Killer Chocolate Cheesecake”. 8230; see …. And this is the book I have a date with this afternoon. along with copious amounts of bittersweet chocolate and cream cheese. it’s going to be amazing. again. One because it was so raved about the year that it made it’s first appearance. Two because I’ve made it a few times since, and has become relatively easy {and thus, won’t cause me the stress of wondering, “will this turn out? Wednesday, December 21, 2011.

Erik & Julie Benson: berry stains
http://erikjulie.blogspot.com/2012/06/berry-stains.html
Thursday, June 28, 2012. Now what can a 2-person household do with that many berries? Oh, I can think of more than enough recipes to fill with sweet antioxidants. and thankfully, there will be more ripe berries in just a few days. Thanks to my papa, the multiple freezers he acquired over the years, and the oversized garden he never ceases to plant, I know the perfect way to prevent time from stealing the life from my sweet addiction:. Rinse berries and remove the stems. June 29, 2012 at 4:01 PM.

Erik & Julie Benson: January 2012
http://erikjulie.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. Here it is again. my annual “oops, I didn’t notice that typo the first 15 times I read this post” post. It’s an apology for any past and future grammatical mistakes. Because I can’t stand them. And you deserve an apology. Or maybe it’s the wrong conjunction. oh. never mind. I hate that mistake. if I ever make that mistake, call me out. I won’t be offended. I’ll just be appalled at myself. I notice that I am. Yes, it would be. Notice me NOT re-learning.}. Tuesday, January 10, 2012.

Erik & Julie Benson: nails, polish, and all that girly stuff …
http://erikjulie.blogspot.com/2012/08/nails-polish-and-all-that-girly-stuff.html
Wednesday, August 8, 2012. Nails, polish, and all that girly stuff …. Yesterday, my youngest niece left the world of childhood and jumped daringly into the world of teen-hood. Given her southern california roots, it was quite an act love when her family drove her north on i-5 in order to celebrate this momentous occasion with her family. And for that, I am grateful. I should have taken a picture of my survival kit … it looked pretty cute, if you ask me). I’m sure, if I though hard enough, I could t...
