Menu Plan Monday: Company is Coming

Posted in Homemaking

This week, D is home all week.  Plus, we have family flying in on Wednesday.  Last week, due to unforeseen things taking place, I didn’t get to all of the items on our list, so some of this week’s menu items will be exactly the same as last week. Since I’m not sure exactly what our schedule is this week, these things are all tentative.  It gives me something to start with, and we can tweak as necessary. Monday: Lunch – Left over gluten free personal pan pizzas from Sunday Dinner – Sandwiches using Gluten Free Homemaker’s Focaccia Bread Veggies…

The 90-Day Bible Reading Challenge

Posted in Christian Life

I originally saw this challenge posted at Raising Olives, but the event is being hosted by Mom’s Toolbox.  I am taking part in the 90-Day Challenge that started on January 1st.  Using the reading schedule put together by Biblein90Days.org, I will be able to read through the whole Bible in only 90 days.  It’s quite the undertaking, but I think it will be worth the extra effort required. I was pleased when Munchkin decided that she wanted to join me in this challenge.  Munchkin was actually so excited about the challenge that she started a few days early.  She said…
