Pancakes for Lunch

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #129 Today, D decided that he really wanted some gluten free pancakes for breakfast.  Well, the problem was that it was almost lunch time before he woke up.  (The pain meds tend to make him rather sleepy in the morning.)  I told him that I would be happy to make him some pancakes for lunch.  In our Bountiful Baskets this week, we had some delicious organic apples that I decided to dice and add to the pancake mix.  To round out the pancakes, I added some cinnamon. Munchkin didn’t really want pancakes for lunch.  She wasn’t feeling…

Happy Mother’s Day 2011

Project 365 – #128 Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. ~Psalm 127:3-5

Turkey Burgers

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #127 Today, I picked up our new Bountiful Baskets.  They were filled with all kinds of delicious fruits and veggies. It’s so much fun opening our organic box to see what goodies it holds for us.  We were thrilled to see some honey dew, kiwi, and pineapple this week.  What a yummy treat. I decided that we’d enjoy some of our new goodies all day.  For breakfast, I made up a nice fruit salad.  For lunch, we had turkey bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches.  Then, for supper, I set out to make some tasty turkey burgers. When…

A Beautiful Day

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #126 Today, D was able to play with Munchkin on the Wii for a period of time while I ran out to get a few groceries.  Munchkin treasured this time, and I was glad that D was finally able to sit up long enough to do this with her.  Now, they weren’t playing an active game in any way, shape, or form.  Nope.  They were playing Lego Star Wars.  Our family rather enjoys Star Wars and Legos, so this is a good pairing for us. **grin** Later on, Munchkin was able to go to the pool with…

Review: Yesterday, Today, and Forever

Posted in Reviews

The hills are alive with the sound of music….  In Yesterday, Today, and Forever, Maria von Trapp picks up where the Sound of Music left off.  We get to follow Maria and her family from Austria all the way to America.  She talks about how their faith got them through all of the hardships and ups and downs of their lives. I enjoyed how Maria made the life of Christ come alive by relating their real life travels to the life of Christ.  Maria shares her heart in this book.  It’s sure to inspire and encourage as you read about…
