More Book Reviews

Posted in Reviews

I was able to get a lot of reading in while we were camping which was such a blessing as I love to read. I really enjoyed reading A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George. There were a lot of practical tips on how to truly become a woman after God’s own heart. One thing that I personally took away was making sure that your husband is #1 in the relationship (after God). All too often it is easy to allow the kids (or other things) to take first place in our lives. It was a good reminder…

Strawberry Jam

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Outdoor Adventures

On Wednesday, we headed over to a local berry “farm” (or so we thought). It turned out to be a field on the side of the road, but we didn’t care as the strawberries were very tasty. We picked 3 very full buckets of strawberries. We enjoyed just eating them fresh and with some whipped cream. D enjoyed them on his cereal. But, I wanted to make some strawberry freezer jam like my mom use to make us growing up. So, I spent a good part of the day hulling and cutting up the strawberries. D was amazed at how…

Thankful Thursday: This and That

Posted in Family

It’s been so long since I’ve been part of this, and I’ve truly missed it. This week will probably be long. lol! 1. I’m thankful that we’re finally at our new home. We’re slowly, but surely getting everything unpacked. It may be a while before we’re truly settled in, but it’s wonderful to be here. 2. I’m thankful that our garden is doing wonderfully. We have lots of lettuce. The tomatoes (while still green) are doing well. The peppers are blooming. We have lots of herbs. The onions are almost ready. The cucumbers are growing. We’ll be adding more as…

Heading Home

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Today is our last day camping. We’ve had a wonderful time camping; a much needed rest period has been a blessing. Tomorrow, we’ll be heading to our new house to start making it into a home. We’ll all be happy to have internet access again. I have a new found appreciation to those who do not have internet access at their homes. I didn’t realize how much we use the internet until we were without for nearly a month. Today, we’re wrapping up all the little things that we need to do before we leave the area (returning library books,…
