Vacation Bible School
Faith – So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ. Romans 10:17 Love – We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 Trust – For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes […]
Helpful Habit: Just Take a Nap
A wonderfully relaxing habit I have fully taken advantage of this week of Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a quick afternoon nap. Just five to 10 minutes are such a help! This is a habit to enjoy after Afternoon Quiet Time is established. (I’m keeping up the habit of sharing a helpful habit on Fridays. […]
Backyard Bunnies
With my coffee perched in one hand I pull up the blind with the other. That’s when I catch my breath. And I (somewhat quietly) call the children. It’s our backyard bunny at day break! Back to nibble at dandelions and dart through the grass. I’m not sure why the bunnies love our yard so […]
Beloved’s Slaw
Most folks just bear with the side dish named “slaw.” I was raised to eat and love it, whether I really did or not. Cabbage is cheap, folks, and you can “doctor” up plain old slaw to where even children will tolerate having it sit like a foreign substance on the side of a plate. […]
The Brownies They’ll Never Forget
Long ago, I made my brownies from one of those mixes you can buy at the store. And I was content, until I found this recipe. It takes about the same amount of time as using a mix, maybe 5 minutes longer to melt the butter. It tastes immensely better…like chocolate, butter, and sugar should […]

Anniversary
As I make the bed the morning of our anniversary, I pause to look at the photos. One wedding picture above each nightstand. Later in the day, I slow and look at the photos around the house. The children ask about our wedding day. We sit and we flip through the album, me remembering and […]
French Bread Pizza: Frugal Living Fun
Back a decade ago I used to make french bread pizzas all the time. Got into the habit with Once a Month Cooking. Then I got out of the habit. But then Erin at $5 Dinners reminded me in her post, Pizza Loaves, Flashback to 1989. See, we have pizza most every Friday night. And, […]
Helpful Habit: Sunday the best day of the week
I’m keeping up the habit of sharing helpful habits here on Fridays! Summer is an easy time to settle into a new habit since we don’t have school work on top of the regular, day to day. So, today, I’m sharing a habit that has helped our family for many, many years. Plus, since I […]
