We Prayed For Her Before….
…….and now I’m asking that you join me in praying for her again. Sweet baby Grace, my friend Lisa’s baby, is just four weeks old and she was admitted to the hospital yesterday. We prayed for Lisa for weeks while she was on bed rest keeping Grace safe within. Let’s pray again that the doctors…

I Forgot
I did. I forgot how blessedly FULL my Saturdays normally are! They are huge days! No homeschooling, but lots of other jobs around our home. With the weather we’ve been having, Aaron had to mow today, and our neighbor lady had some more trees for him to plant, too. Oh, that boy!!! …

Corin’s Flip Flops, Green Grass & Contentment
Oh, my word, Corin’s flip flops garnered as many comments on yesterday’s post as the aprons!! Yes, she was wearing flip flops, and a sweatshirt! My Will and Little Miss Fiesty, and both of Corin’s boys at one time or another, were barefoot all yesterday afternoon, too. Short sleeves were very comfortable. It was,…

Cranberry Glazed Meat Loaf
Now that I have all of my cookbooks in my back hallway, which is just a step from my kitchen, I’ve been enjoying pulling out some of my old and/or inherited cookbooks and looking for some new ideas. Tonight’s Cranberry Glazed Meat Loaf was inspired by a recipe I found in an old cookbook from…

Make Your Own Poultry Seasoning
One day, years and years ago, I ran out of poultry seasoning and needed it for a recipe. In desperation, I found a make your own recipe, whipped some up and used it. I haven’t bought store-bought Poultry Seasoning again. This is a far superior product, and it’s much cheaper to make than it is to…

The Princess and The Pea
Our princess, Dani, is by no means as picky about her bed as the fabled princess and the pea. However, she has been sleeping on a very bad mattress for about a year too long, and her bed? Let’s just say it has served her well for 15 years, but it was time to be…
