Today, daughter #1 started up her piano lessons again. She has a new teacher this year and I was so excited that her home was super kid friendly. Since the weather has been so nice, we decided to play outside with her children (who are also home-schooled). As I looked around, I noticed TONS of [...]

Etsy Shop
So in addition to my family, I have additional loves in my life. One you know about: Compassion. The other, knitting, I haven’t talked much about. But I love them both…so I decided to combine them in a way. Introducing, my Etsy shop! Ten percent of the sale will go to Compassion‘s Child Survival Program. [...]
Happy Birthday, Anette!
Today is a VERY special day! Today, four years ago, little Anette was born in Mexico. Most children who live in poverty do not live to see their fifth birthday. In fact, in Haiti, most parents do not even give their children a name until they turn five years old. The children are called, “Ti [...]
Applesauce – How to Make it, How to Can it
September is here and since my favorite season is Autumn, I couldn’t wait to make cinnamon applesauce! Here’s how you can too! Ingredients (and equipment): * Bushel of apples (I got mine from our local farmer’s market – there are a few trees in the back that they don’t spray with pesticides…I can get these [...]
Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies
Gluten free…oatmeal…and cookies. That’s right, you read correct. How? I really don’t know, since not all oatmeal is considered gluten free. But I do know that when I eat (a lot) of gluten – breads, pastas, crackers, regular oatmeal – I break out in eczema patches. Nothing huge and hardly noticeable. But I notice and [...]
Displaying Photos
So this post is strictly to show Mandi (and her readers) over at Organizing Your Way my favorite way to display photos: French Memory Boards. Super easy to switch out photos and great conversation starters. I have ours going up our staircase…one for each family member. There you go!
Spelt Bread
The title doesn’t sound too appetizing, does it? Nah, didn’t do much for me either. That’s why I added apples and cinnamon Ingredients: * 2 1/4 cups spelt flour * 1/4 cup honey (I use local honey from our farmer’s market) * 1 T baking powder (I use aluminum free…did you know aluminum has been [...]
Updated School Room!
You might remember when I started rearranging the school room here. I had mentioned there were some things that I wanted to change…and it’s finally done! Well, almost…I’ll get to that after these first few pictures (just ’cause I’m so excited!) The girls’ toys used to be in the big girls’ bedroom. After mustering up [...]
WIP Wednesday
Since my #3 daughter was not able to wear cloth diapers (her skin is super sensitive and she would continually break out in a rash as soon as she was wet…no matter how fast I changed her), as my #2 daughter did, I haven’t had any reason to knit (I used to knit my daughter’s [...]
Pie Crust Recipe
I don’t own a pastry blender. My fork has been the fill in for that role for the past….too many years. As a result, I’ve felt that it was easier to just buy the premade pie crusts from the grocer’s. But – when I saw how Amy makes her pie crust, I chuckled and then [...]
