Yes, a meal plan stacked high with sandwiches. I need to hone my sandwich making skills with warmer weather coming. But it won’t be just any regular ol’ sandwiches. Inspiration comes from $5 Dinners Breakfast and Lunch Cookbook as well as the red and white checked I’m Writing My Own Cookbook. So settle in and [...]
Continuing to share the basic habits that bless our homeschool. Last week, I shared our Before 8:45 Checklist habit. Morning Room Time is the habit that blesses all ages. It’s how I can be in two places at once! Both helping our littlest ones and helping the older ones with math. It’s the answer to [...]
I’m sharing Mama Ann’s quiche recipe at $5 Dinners. Join me? With plenty of opportunities for luncheons and brunches coming up, don’t overlook the chance to make an easy quiche. It’s also a simple and frugal, last-minute supper to pull together. Especially if you already have store-bought, frozen pie shells on hand. The secret to [...]
We love our birds and enjoy watching them. So, for our spring time nature study, each of the children chose a favorite bird that we are seeing frequent our yard.

I realized a few weeks ago that the royal wedding is a perfect opportunity to celebrate. To fix a big breakfast and all gather ’round and watch the festivities.

Coming up in a couple short weeks we will celebrate a cousin’s wedding! All of my girls will have the privilege of a part in the ceremony in some way. Littlest girl is a flower girl! Two years ago, when another cousin of mine wed, I saw these beautiful paper chains on Everyday Celebrating. You [...]

Our tradition was a bit different. We children would wear a [...]
The credit for this idea goes to my friend, Paige. Several years ago she shared that she makes a pound cake. Then she either cuts it in half for two gifts or fills large muffin tins to make mini pound cakes. A recipe I’ve been making for years is Southern Living’s two-step pound cake. It [...]
One of the treats we enjoyed after Easter lunch. Nana’s recipe. Great for Easter, Mother’s Day, Christmas or any celebration. “This is the best recipe I’ve ever had. It needs to sit at least a day to meld together the flavors (in refrigerator). Read recipe carefully.” ~Nana Coconut Cake Recipe 1 Duncan Hines white cake [...]
Every detail of your body and soul – even the hairs of your head! – is in My care; nothing of you will be lost. Luke 21:18 The Message Counting the endless gifts… 2376. The greatest gift – Jesus. Because God loves us so much. Jesus stepped in, took our place…and by His wounds, by [...]
