All Things Great and Small

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #161 Isn’t it wonderful how the Lord is concerned about even the tiny details in our lives?  Today, I needed to find some things for the guinea pigs, so I could make some bedding.  (The shredded paper and other bedding is not working for us, so I needed to do something that would work better.)  I found out that Uhaul blankets with fleece over top work really well as cage liners.  I headed over to Uhaul, and once I told the gentleman why I was purchasing the blankets, he offered to give me a couple of used…

Introducing Rosita the Guinea Pig

Project 365 – #158 Today was all about strawberries.  I ordered a lot of strawberries with my Bountiful Baskets order this week.  Our whole house smells like strawberries.  Yum!  Here’s a glimpse into our strawberry day….

The popcycle is simply pureed strawberries that I put in the popcycle molds.  It was a very healthy, refreshing treat on a hot afternoon.
