Yesterday afternoon, feeling a bit rushed, I finished filing my oldest’s schoolwork for the day and cleared off the kitchen table while dialing my husband’s cell phone.
Ever mindful of the time, I whispered orders to my two oldest daughters while waiting on dh to pick up. We’ve been getting a later start each morning these [...]

Chicken Fetticine Recipe
Published by September 27th, 2006 in Cooking and Food and Uncategorized. 19 CommentsWe’re having crockpot Chicken Fetticine tonight and it’s one of those unbelievably easy and tasty meals so I thought I’d post it here for you. My friend Jana shared it with me years ago and it remains a family favorite to this day!
Chicken Fetticine
4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts–thawed
1 package Italian dressing seasoning
6 oz cream cheese
1 can cream of [...]
We’re reviewing our spelling words this week and I just have to rave a bit about how much we LOVE our Spell to Write and Read curriculum! My oldest, at age 8, has 260 words so far this year so we’re testing 60 a day and she’s acing them! And more than getting her words right, [...]
Musing on Music’s Power part 2
Published by September 26th, 2006 in Christianity and Culture. 4 CommentsSome great comments on this morning’s “music” post led me to this link for The 107 Theses, “A Call for Reformation of Contemporary Christian Music” by Steve Camp. (Thanks Anna! and all the rest of you who took time to share your thoughts!)
Here’s a little taste from the Steve Camp site, he shares this to build up [...]
Here’s a hot topic for you, let’s explore how the culture has influenced Christians through music. I’m inviting you to chime in with your own personal opinion.
This past Saturday night, I happened to hear Ravi Zacharias on Christian radio—his topic taken from his “Leadership Workshop on Worship” (CD 209). The following quote immediately caught my attention:
“When Lucifer [...]
I really enjoyed this coffee-themed one, can we do it again?
In my dreams, it would have been lovely to hire a sitter (yeah, one who didn’t mind watching a toddler with chicken pox) and take a friend to Starbucks, but hey, I believe in the “glass half full” mentality, so a little improv was needed. I dropped in [...]
Just a little chat about chicken pox…
Published by September 23rd, 2006 in Culture and Parenting. 6 CommentsMy week started with thunderstorms taking out our computer modem, and ended with one miserable two year old dotted with chicken pox. Through it all, I’ve learned that HP’s technical support beats Staples’ 800-number system hands down and that pretty much every over the counter anti-itch potion is too harsh for a toddler’s skin!
Toddler is [...]
A friend who reads my blog asked me to give more info on mega-cooking. One of my favorite subjects! (I’m always out to snag someone to join me for a morning or afternoon of doubling and tripling meals!)
In years past, several other homeschool moms and I borrowed a huge, well-equipped church kitchen in which to [...]
Better Late Than Never–Weekend Kindness
Published by September 21st, 2006 in Weekend Kindness. 2 Comments
The ”Watch the Kiddies” directive came at a great time for us. So I thought. My sil had a scheduled c-section, so we offered to watch her two older kids some evening prior to the surgery…so she and her dh could splurge on one last date. Alas, it didn’t work out. So I extended the invitation on [...]
Modesty, Teaching Our Children, and Fishbowls
Published by September 15th, 2006 in Christianity, Culture and Writing. 0 CommentsI didn’t have any blog ideas today, so I thought I’d point you over to MInTheGap’s site. He generously invites me to guest post on his site once a week or so, and here are links to my three latest posts. I’m also including the first few lines of each one to hopefully draw you [...]
