I’m sure all of you with kids have let them stomp through mud puddles, but have your kids ever come back inside looking like Winnie the Pooh after hiding from bees in a mud puddle?
Wish I had taken a pic of toddler yesterday. (I was more concerned with getting mud out of her mouth) [...]

Fresh Strawberry Bread
Published by March 30th, 2007 in Book Recommendations and Cooking and Food. 6 CommentsThis one’s for you, Bethanie! (Here’s her recipe fyi, she and I are comparing notes…)
My mom says this is the best ever book on bread baking: Bernard Clayton’s New Complete Book of Breads: Revised and Expanded. She doesn’t have this newest edition, but our strawberry bread recipe is in both. Want to get inspired? There’s [...]
Easier Amish Friendship Bread
Published by March 29th, 2007 in Cooking and Food and Homemaking. 45 CommentsExciting news for all the overwhelmed Amish Friendship Bread cooks out there! I’ve been experimenting…and you can make the initial starter recipe without as many ingredients…
In fact, all I did was eliminate two cups flour, two cups sugar and two cups milk from the original recipe. And, my two rules of thumb for maintaining [...]
Jesus was. Let’s check out some more Messianic prophecies. Powerful verses to apply to our own lives. In Isaiah 50:4-9, Jesus says about Himself:
“The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples, that I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My [...]
Grace For the Weary
Published by March 27th, 2007 in Christianity, Home Schooling and Paterology. 6 CommentsIn Bible class this morning, I was struck afresh at the Messianic prophecies in Isaiah. What an encouragement, comfort, and hope…for us Christians. Apply their soothing peace to your particular discouragement. Take this one, for instance:
“A bruised reed He (God the Son) will not break, and a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish.” Isaiah 42:3 (parentheses [...]
At the end of the day…
Published by March 26th, 2007 in Homemaking and Tackle It Tuesday. 7 CommentsI love checking out Jen’s Tackle it Tuesdays, there’s just something about before and after pics, isn’t there? Sorry I don’t have any for you–just be thankful for your own digital camera, and picture me tackling my upstairs-slash-attic with every (unstuck) window in the house full open–blowing fresh air and the scent of baking Amish [...]
I love Sunday afternoons!
Are any of you subscribed to the Taste of Home magazine? Our issue arrived yesterday–the cupcake contest issue–and nine year old baked up a batch of the champion recipe: Special Mocha Cupcakes. Mmm–I had to brew the coffee for her, but she did the rest!
This afternoon, unfortunately for us, my hubby got [...]
Hubby is building a computer desk for our daughter’s room! He got today off, so we worked on it all morning. Measuring, cutting, him getting to break in his new router toy!
In these projects I’m his sidekick. Our daughters ran around playing with baby goats and climbing on and off the back of dh’s flatbed [...]
Just a reminder, it’s my Thursday to post at Writer…Interrupted! My post today is entitled: Book Making Addicts…
Guess what? We’ve had 3 baby goats born…teensy, kitten-sized things! Another sign of spring!
First day of spring today! Did you celebrate?
I love Gina’s idea to have the “Easter egg hunting” etc on the first day of Spring, rather than combining it with Easter Sunday.
What do you all think about the Easter bunny?
P.S. Horrendous wind today, but thankfully, no spring rain. However, I just had to post that pic–isn’t [...]
