Just Like Riding a Bicycle
I’m a home body by preference. We’ve made some choices in the last few weeks that mean I will be spending more time out and about. William is trying out for baseball this weekend, which means practice days and game days will take me to town a few times a week. I am also taking…

Feminine Appeal
For several years, I’ve enjoyed reading Girltalk, the blog Carolyn Mahaney writes with her three married daughters. The girls are down to earth, sensible and friendly. Mrs. Mahaney’s book, Feminine Appeal – Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother, is filled with the same common sense and practical application that I’ve enjoyed from the blog.…

What Happened While I Was Looking
Today was the day that I planned to sign William up for baseball. He’s never played baseball, nor have any of my kids participated in any sort of team sports. We’ve all been excited, but nervous, about the whole thing. The early registration discount expires in the next couple of days, though, so I knew…

Accepted!
Re-entry is always tough. We’ve been off the normal schedule of home life for three weeks. My husband has been home on vacation. We’ve slept in and played games and stayed up late watching movies and eaten way too much of all the wrong sorts of food. Today, though, we were to going to get…

Goals, Yes! Resolutions, Nope.
We had a fabulous Christmas and spent New Year’s Eve, quietly, here at home watching movies and enjoying a ton of homemade goodies, both sweet and savory. It’s been quite cold and unusually dry. In fact, we’ve needed to run sprinklers on the lawns, and I may irrigate the orchard and vineyard this week if…

Mile High Sweet Cream Biscuit Recipe – They’re EASY Because I Cheat!
A few of you asked about the Mile High Biscuits from last week’s menu plan. This is so easy, I’m almost embarrassed to share it with you here. We’ll just pretend you asked about it over a cup of coffee as we shared a left-over Mile High Biscuit with jam, and then we’d both giggle…

Thursdays
As often as possible, Corin and my grandbabies visit us on Thursday afternoon. During the summer, the afternoons were spent in the pool. Now that it’s fall, we will start bringing our Thursday afternoons back to their original purpose of being a “library” and craft day. Today, though, the weather was glorious and it just…

Church in a Box
The reality of starting a new church is that it is a lot of work. Yes, the work is a blessing, but it’s still work. Copper is, at present, the sole deacon for our new church plant. The majority of the practical stuff that needs to be done to make church happen from week to…
Got any book recommendations?
