I made big plans for February. There were a couple of projects that I hoped to accomplish. February was the month that I thought I might check another couple of items off of my 2012 goals list, and set some intermediary steps toward meeting some of my other goals. February, however, has already brought several [...]

February 9th, 2012 | Tags: hold your plans loosely | Category: Uncategorized | 8 comments Several years ago, Dani started reading P.G. Wodehouse. After watching her enjoy several of his books, and knowing several other gals who enjoyed him, I picked one up and gave it a go. I’m so glad I did! P.G. Wodehouse is an author I count on to help fill the “just for fun” niche in [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 7th, 2012 | Tags: book review, books, reading | Category: Uncategorized | 6 comments My husband worked an overtime shift today. He was out the door before 6:00 this morning, and he won’t be back home until after 9:00 tonight. He’ll meet me in town for our small group Bible study this evening after work. We miss having him here, but we are so thankful to God for the [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 6th, 2012 | Tags: Copper's Day Off, Family Fun | Category: Uncategorized | 2 comments Routines are a good thing, and I love employing routine to my menu planning. However, if we’re not careful, our menus can become boring and filled with the same few dishes week in and week out. That might be fine, for a season, but we all like variety on the table, too. God created many [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!

February 4th, 2012 | Tags: Saturday Acrostic | Category: Uncategorized | 4 comments The age of writing an old-fashioned letter seems to be at a close. That’s regrettable. I know, first hand, what deep, enduring relationships can be formed through letter writing. In fact, Copper and I had only dated for a few, short weeks before he left for college. We wrote dozens of letters in the months [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 2nd, 2012 | Tags: book review, books, reading | Category: Uncategorized | 3 comments February is a peculiar month. The thrill of the holiday season is long forgotten. The anticipation that comes with the start of a new year is now fading. Spring is several weeks away. For all of that, February is a lovely month for staying put and enjoying our homes.

February 1st, 2012 | Tags: homemaking, recipe | Category: Uncategorized | 10 comments My husband was home today. Hooray! We spent a good portion of the day adjusting our budget. It’s not a task either of us particularly relish.
We are, quite happily, debt-free now, with the exception of our home. That made making the budget adjustments for rising utility and food costs a wee [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
January 30th, 2012 | Tags: Copper's Day Off, goal setting, looking well | Category: Uncategorized | 6 comments There’s nothing like good, old-fashioned home cooking! From pancakes fresh off the griddle in the morning, to Steak Burrito Bowls at lunch, and ending the day with a family favorite for dinner, home cooking is just plain ol’ good! I’m already mapping out some new recipes to try in the coming weeks, but this week [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
