We’ve had such a great day today. Busy, of course, but wonderfully productive! Dani will be home all week this week, and I have to selfishly tell you how glad I am to have her here. She and I remained busy in the house all day, while the guys worked outside. Towards day’s end, I…

Pork Chop and Potato Dish Recipe
I came up with this dish on a whim while I was making up my menu plan the other day. Seasoned, browned pork chops cooked in the oven over a dish of old-fashioned scalloped potatoes (just like Mom used to make). Comfort food at its finest! This doesn’t take a lot of time to put…

You know, I’m not hugely technologically savvy, but I didn’t just fall into the 21st century either. I’ve got to tell you, though, this whole wireless thing is just amazing to me. I’m really going to love it! Dani has been helping me get things set up, and she has shown me a couple of…

We’ve been having some computer troubles here this evening. Lord willing, though, I think we have them resolved….this after Dani spending a couple of hours working on it, and poor Copper! spending the better part of an hour speaking to a very LOUD woman in a distant land for technical support. Long story short – I…

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Raisin Bread (for the bread machine)
Here’s the recipe for the Cinnamon Raisin Bread we make in our bread machine. This comes out quite nicely, but doesn’t raise into a tall loaf. The texture and flavor are wonderful, though. This is a recipe that Dani and I have adapted to meet the needs of our family. You certainly may substitute regular…

I’ve been pondering and thinking about my menu planning since this post, and I have mixed things up just a bit this week. I think that my entire family enjoys our big breakfast, and Tuesday is really just the best day for us to do that. Monday mornings are just, too, well…MONDAY! My husband does…

Saturday November 10, 2007
Today was just a simple Saturday spent tending to things in my home. Since we do not homeschool** on Saturday, my day has a more leisurely pace about it. I’m still not quite used to Dani being gone on Saturdays, but I have adapted my routine around her absence. Lisa is keeping Dani busy making…

Oh, what a lovely, glorious, fun, exciting day we have had! The morning broke sunny, cloudless and warm. Warmer than the last few mornings have been. As the day progressed, the breeze picked up, the clouds rolled in, and the day grew cooler. I enjoyed sitting outside for awhile today, working on some home school…

We are having such a hoot today! I’ll share more this evening, Lord willing, but the neighbors’ cement, NINE big mixers of it, is being delivered, through our gate and we are having so much fun watching it all! In the meantime, I wanted to share this link with you. Rarely do things…
Got any book recommendations?
