Kayla’s recent choir concert – such a special director and overall music experience! …our life, that is. I have always been fascinated with the word picture of the “cup” in the Bible. I have even been known to go searching for antique (or new) teacups to give girls on the last day of a Bible… Read More A Cup Full and Brimming Over…
I wish I was reporting that I had made the Eggplant, Red Bell Pepper, and Pesto Lasagna out of Goat Cheese – the cookbook I checked out last week, but this week has been really FULL. I hope to blog about some of that FULLNESS soon, but for now I will just leave you with… Read More Gluten Free Friday: Popsicle Time Again!
I love goat cheese. My introduction to goat cheese was about 10 years ago at our town’s weekly farmer’s market. It was a free sample from a local goat farm, and it was CHOCOLATE. Now, there’s a sure way to get folks hooked on a product, and it definitely worked on me. Not too long… Read More Gluten Free Biscuits: Goat Milk Edition (and Kombucha Success!)
This was the scene last Monday afternoon as my siblings and uncle crowded into my dad’s room in ICU after his open-heart surgery. Not long after this photo was taken we got kicked out for breaking the “only two visitors allowed at a time” rule. We probably could have stayed, but it was getting kinda… Read More And The Surgeon Wore Boots

This was also Cooper’s final week of Classical Conversations – the homeschool program we have been a part of this year. The… Read More 13 Year Old Memory Master, Nacho Eater, Guitar Player
You may remember that my first attempt at making Kombucha was a failure. Nothing happened. Maybe it was too cold? Maybe it was because I was trying to grow my own “mushroom”? Not quite sure. But last week I got to give it another go, because out of the blue two people – TWO different… Read More Good For Your Gut Friday : Kombucha Take 2
Seems like that’s all we did last week – go to baseball games, go to Boston, go to more baseball games, then head to Boston again. It was a very full week, but lots of fun. Kory was up as pitcher once last week, and I always get so nervous for him when his coach… Read More 1. Baseball 2. Boston 3. Repeat
Robert was out of town this week at this conference, where he had a great time, and said John Piper’s sermon was the best he’s ever heard. (Wow! You can listen to/watch it here!)While he was away, the kids and I managed our normal (crazy, actually) routine, and I even found some time to make… Read More Gluten Free Friday – GF Flax Sandwich Bread
I didn’t post a recipe on Friday – mostly because I want to finish this recipe index before I start adding more. So, here’s the updated index, with Main Dishes being the newest addition! Also….. Just about a week or so ago, I installed a site meter on my blog. Prior to that, (for the… Read More Recipe Updates & Surprising Statistics
