Published by January 31st, 2008 in Home Schooling and Writing. 14 CommentsHomemade Chicken and Noodles
Published by January 29th, 2008 in Cooking and Food and Mega Cooking. 8 CommentsThere’s nothing like Chicken and Noodle soup to comfort away winter’s ailments! This recipe is extremely comforting, and delicious! My sister-in-law, a great cook, fixed this for us over New Year’s. I memorized her chicken recipe and made it for us within the same week! The homemade noodle recipe comes from my tattered Better Homes [...]
Yet another great use for nonfat dry milk. I don’t know where I’d be without my huge box. I never use “real” milk for recipes, only for drinking and cereal. With a gallon of milk costing over $3, this saves us a bundle of money. And it couldn’t be easier to substitute. I don’t even [...]
My oldest is helping her Grand-dad work calves this 19 degree weatherful mornin’; my middle daughter is lying on the couch watching Little House on the Prairie after a miserable night of fever and little sleep, and youngest is still in her footie pajamas, coughing but happy.

Poppy Seed Bread
3 cups flour
2 1/4 cups [...]

This is a parenting post intending to help [...]
Contentment: Caught Between Bitter and Sweet
Published by January 15th, 2008 in Christianity, Culture and Life. 11 CommentsNot long ago, I was reading The Brushstroke Legacy by Lauraine Snelling, and the main character’s description of her best friend caught my attention. Here it is:
“But then Bethany would give her some line about God’s grace being new every morning. She [Bethany] wouldn’t recognize a real problem if she tripped over it.”
Ah, the [...]
Cough medicines are not only hazardous for your child’s health, they do no good whatsoever. At least in my humble experience. I wonder if they’d make a good weedkiller?
Anyhow, I just have to pass along this great information because I’ve tried it several times now, on different kids, and my mom has tried it–all with [...]
