  • The Recipe Page Is Now Available!

    I am so pleased to announce that the Recipe Page is now up and running. All of the recipes that I’ve posted, for the last seven years, are now available all in one place!   I’m excited about the Recipe Page for a number of reasons. First, it should be relatively easy for you to…

  • Recipe Page Coming Soon

    I’ve been working hard behind the scenes this week on a brand new recipe page. When it’s finished, all of the recipes I’ve shared over the last seven years, along with any new recipes that I share in the future, will link automatically to the new page by category. You’ll also be able to search…

  • Week Three Of Cooking Without A Kitchen

    Last week’s menu plan saved the day for me more than once! Knowing what was for dinner, and knowing that it would all pull together fairly quickly and easily, kept us from running out for fast food on at least two separate occasions. Yay for menu planning! (If you click on the links below, and…

  • Stitching, Reading, Remodeling

    My little hexie project has been forsaken for the last few weeks. I started working on the second piece again this week. I’m learning from the mistakes I made with the first hexie flower, and I’m refining my applique technique a bit with this second one. I plan to keep one for myself and give…

  • Looking Well Even When It’s Tough

    It’s easy to look well to the ways of your household when things are going smoothly. The kids are getting along, homeschooling is going well, your husband is happy at work, and there are no outside pressures causing you grief (like having your house torn up during a major remodeling project). Unfortunately, life doesn’t generally…

  • Menu Planning When There Is No Kitchen – Week Two

    We’ve been without a kitchen for a week and a half, and we’re doing great. I was right in thinking that clean up would be the biggest problem, and that cooking would be relatively easy.   The folks building my new kitchen are super clean and tidy, and I really appreciate that, but it’s a little…

  • Dear Homemaker – You Are An Artist!

    Homemaking is an art, and you are an artist. We are created in the image of God. He is The Ultimate Creator, and so we are, by nature, creative. Think not? Well, you are! It’s inherent in the way you are made. That doesn’t mean that each of us is given the same talents or…

  • Planning Meals When There Is No Kitchen

    Menu planning. Folks seem to either love it or hate it. I don’t always enjoy the process of menu planning, but I do love the perks. Knowing what’s for dinner every day is a real stress reliever for me. During the seasons that I do not menu plan regularly, my grocery budget soars and we…

  • Saying Goodbye To The Less Than Perfect Kitchen

    Today is the day that I finally say goodbye to my less than perfect kitchen. Nothing has changed in this kitchen, save the replacement of failed appliances, since our home was built in 1990, nor since we moved in eight years later. We’ve hosted potluck suppers for up to 80 people and more intimate meals…

  • If You Move A Wall In The Kitchen……

    Remember that great children’s book,If You Give a Mouse a Cookie? That’s what things are like around here these days! If you move a wall (or two or three) in the kitchen, then you’re going to have to deal with what is happening on the other side of that wall, too! Simple physics, maybe, but it’s…
