Came across a great post today that really affirms all we do as mothers, and equally important, how important it is that we teach our daughters all they need to know to equip them to run their own homes some day. I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s at the Girl Talk blog, and titled, Homemaking [...]

Homemaking: Teaching our Daughters
Published by January 31st, 2009 in Homemaking and Parenting. 1 CommentDead to Christ?
Published by January 29th, 2009 in Book Recommendations and Christianity. 0 CommentsThat’s the title of my post at Writer…Interrupted today! Let’s see, it’s about Botany, Queen Esther’s 7 year double life, and a really great DVD series and book by Dee Brestin and Kathy Troccoli.
Hope to see you there in comments!
So the other day my eleven year old daughter comes up, hugs me hard and long and says, “You are just so lovable when you wear dresses!”
Hmm. I began to wonder if wearing dresses produced a similar magic to that of apron wearing, which never fails to make me want to bake bread and clean [...]
Got a fair-weather day up and coming? Grab it and go on a hike! We’d been waiting for just such a day to whisk my hubby off and show him some cool stuff we’d discovered with Farmer John and his two apprentices on just such an adventure hike a couple weeks ago…finally, Saturday arrived and [...]
Remedies for Hormonal Headaches
Published by January 18th, 2009 in Book Recommendations, Health and Herbal Helps. 8 CommentsI’ve been getting some behind-the-scenes email queries about certain health issues. I think there is a real desire to go natural when possible, and I have to admit, even *I’ve* been somewhat surprised, and as a result, highly excited by how well all of my herbal experiments have turned out on my family and loved [...]
Casualties of the American Dream
Published by January 14th, 2009 in Book Recommendations, Culture and Life. 12 CommentsEvery dream has its price.
Some of the costs are obvious, while others sneak up on you, gradually.
In the name of progress, as Henry would say. That would be the Henry of Henry and the Great Society, which I highly encourage you and your families to read online. (simply follow the above link)
Just what is the [...]
I love Monday mornings! Sundays are busy for us, so having a day at home is always something to look forward to!
Plus, my children are usually over-tired from a busy Awana club meeting the night before, so they sleep in a little bit, allowing me more time. I’m usually fired up about getting the house [...]
Herbal Helps for Coughs and Colds
Published by January 10th, 2009 in Book Recommendations, Health and Herbal Helps. 16 CommentsRubbing my hands together with glee…this is such a fascinating subject! I’ve mentioned here before what an education I’ve received from the book, 10 Essential Herbs by Lalitha Thomas. Farmer John gave me this book–FYI, to those of you who might not know, he’s my knowledgeable CSA farmer-neighbor who has, along with his sweetheart of [...]
Mean Green Tortilla Soup! Mmm!
Picture a bowl with a handful of cheese, some oven-toasted corn tortilla strips, two or three slices of avacado and a delicious chicken-corn-salsa verde soup poured over all of the above…that’s what we’re having for lunch today. Fridays are our Bible study-luncheon dates with my parents, and this will be our [...]
Start the New Year off right with daily Bible reading
Published by January 1st, 2009 in Book Recommendations, Christianity, Family Ties and Life. 14 CommentsHappy New Year!
January first is, to many people, a fresh slate. Why not take advantage of a brand new year to spur your children, your mate and even…yourself…into making daily time in God’s word a priority?
Here’s a novel idea. If reading through the entire Bible in a year sounds daunting, how about just the New [...]
