Wednesday January 31, 2007
The fifth week of each month (for those months that have fifth weeks) is the time that I concentrate on my garage and outside storage areas. Since these areas are not part of the house proper, I can let the chores that need to be tended to less frequently than weekly go until there is […]

Easy Roasted Vegetables -OR- How I Got My Kids To Eat Turnips
Inspired by a wonderful dish that we enjoyed on our cruise, and determined to introduce some different foods to my children, I made this dish to go along with our crock pot chuck roast last night. It was quick and easy to prepare, and it was delicious. Easy Roasted Vegetables 5 or 6 medium size […]

“When we thus rule ourselves, we have the responsbilities of sovereigns, not of subjects. We must never exercise our rights either wickedly or thoughtlessly; we can continue to preserve them in but one possible way, by making the proper use of them.” Theodore RooseveltJuly 4, 1886Dickinson, Badlands

What’s new? Lots!!! Here’s just a sampling of what’s new in my life. A stack of new books!! What could be better than that??? These were all Christmas and birthday gifts. Of course, it will take me months to get these read. As a matter of fact, only one of them (Crunchy Cons) has even made it […]

By God’s good mercy, we made it through last week! Hooray! I knew going into it that it was going to be “one of those weeks”, but hoooooeeeeee, am I glad I’m on the other side of it now! Did I mention God’s mercy already? Yes? Well, He just so continually amazes me in the […]

(Originally posted September 12, 2006) We all procrastinate. Some of us are worse than others, I suppose; but we all do it. Not wanting to make that phone call. Not wanting to tend to that dreaded chore. Waiting to iron the clothes until the pile outgrows the laundry basket (that’s me – guilty as charged!) […]

(Originally posted November 16, 2006) I think all of us long for more hours in our day. However, God in His infinite wisdom gives us all just 24 hours. If the Lord thinks 24 hours are enough, who am I to quibble? So, why do we think we need more time? When I find myself […]

(originally posted August 15, 2006) Daily Planner. Day Runner. Homemaker’s Journal. Mom’s Brain (one of my favorites!). All these terms refer to the same Homemaker’s Servant – the Planner. A lot has been written in magazines and on the web in the last few months about this servant. However, I’ve not seen any that feature […]
