I took an unexpected blog break last week because of the death of my grandfather. He was a wonderful man whose passions were his faith, his family, and his farm. I grew up in a home that sat right beside my grandparents’ farm and they were both very involved in my childhood. As I mourned […]

Happy 6 months til Christmas! Can you believe it? It’s not too late to start planning. We’ve been working towards a goal of a cash Christmas since January and it’s not too late for you to join in. On the 25th of every month from January to November in 2013, I’m holding a virtual meeting for […]

It was delicious and this pasta salad will definitely become a dish that I take to the many pot luck picnics that we are invited to over the summer. Enjoy!

We love burgers on the grill and eat them at least once a week during the summer. Instead of a plain old burger, I like to add flavors and different ingredients to create a more interesting meal. Last week, I added my homemade fajita seasoning and topped with peppers and onions grilled in a hobo pack. The result–the chicken fajita burger was delicious! Grilled […]

I have had more than one teacher tell me how important it is for kids to continue to read over the summer, especially the early readers. Kids work so hard during the school year and without practicing their skills over the summer, they will regress. We are fortunate to live very close to two top notch libraries who make reading […]

Yard sales. People either love them or hate them. I happen to LOVE yard sales. I love going to them and I love having yard sales. If I have a free Saturday morning from April thru September–unfortunately it’s rare–I try to hit a community yard sale. I’m always looking for girls clothing, good books, and clean Tupperware. […]

Hooray! Strawberry season is here. It’s one of my favorite times of the year; it ranks right up there with Christmas at our house. We wait all year for this short window of time to eat local sweet strawberries. The other 48 weeks a year, we’re stuck with the over-sized berries with little flavor that the grocery stores carry year […]

I’m not found of critters. Squirrels have chewed through one too many cable lines to our house and bunnies think that my backyard is an all-you-can-eat buffet. But one critter caught my eye the other morning as I was running–a white squirrel I couldn’t get too close, because (1) I didn’t want to get caught trespassing in […]

Woo Hoo! It’s June and it’s time to plan our summer. My husband and I want the kids to have a fun and exciting summer, but we don’t have a lot of extra funds this year, so we’re looking for inexpensive fun and excitement. To get started and to organize the activities that we have planned, […]
