During the day, I spend most of my time in and around our kitchen area. If I’m not preparing a meal or snack, I’m cleaning it up. Or I might be reading the mail, coloring with the kids, working on an art project, going over homework, surfing the web working on my laptop…. My house [...]

When I started this blog a couple months ago, I had no idea what I was doing. Truthfully, I still don’t. I just knew I had a burden on my heart for people, moms in particular, who had given in to the lie that we have to bury ourselves in activity to be seen as [...]

Welcome to Menu Plan Monday! For those of you who are new, this is the day I post my family’s meals for the week. This list includes just dinner menus in no particular order. These are just the meals that I have the ingredients for. I just make whatever meal I feel like that day. [...]

Bread has been on my mind for a while. I haven’t bought commercial bread from the grocery store in months. (Have you checked out the ingredient labels?) I strive to keep my family healthy and make good decisions regarding their food. I just have a really hard time giving them over-processed, chemical-laden food. It seemed [...]

How much time and energy do we waste worrying about what people think of us rather than just living our lives to the fullest? I love the quote “What could you do you if you knew you couldn’t fail?” Gretchen at Girls Can’t What? posted a link to Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent. [...]

Are you as sick as I am of hearing how bad the economy is, how bad our country is, blah, blah, blah?! It’s enough to drive anyone into a personal depression! Even though I’m an information junkie, I find myself listening less and less to the main stream media and other negative sources. I’m not [...]

Looking back, last week’s menu was a success. The Empanadas were very good. Although, next time, I am going to experiment and add some extra heat and maybe chicken or black beans. The asparagus quiche was a hit. My daughter loves asparagus and loves quiche. She was so excited to get them together. The weather [...]

As I looked back on last week’s posts and saw only 2, I started to get frustrated. When I started this blog a couple months back, my goal was to write at least 4 days per week. And here I see only 2…. Then, I stopped to think why I didn’t post more. Was it [...]

Every December, I go through the kids’ toys to make room for the new ones they will be getting for Christmas. I throw away all the broken and “junk” toys. If I have anywhere to donate toys, I donate the good ones. Some toys get put in a box for a big consignment sale in [...]

Last week’s menu was a hit! The turkey breast turned out great and gave me enough for a turkey pot pie and turkey salad sandwiches over the next couple days. My new recipe for the week was Rotini Alfredo from goodLife {eats}. I think I added the rotini part since that is our noodle of [...]

A few weeks back , I was listening to the radio in the car. I have no idea what the program was or even the subject, but wrote down “Romans 12″ on the note pad in my car. A couple days ago, I finally decided to read that passage. I thought the subject of the [...]
