Review: The ESV Waterproof Bible – New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs

Posted in Reviews

I love the idea of being able to take my Bible anywhere, but I hate the idea of something bad happening to it. When I heard about the Waterproof Bible, I thought it could be the answer to those concerns. First Impressions: The Bible itself is completely waterproof and really durable. As in, the pages do not tear easily – at all. It’s a nice size to be able to toss it in my purse and bag. It’s lightweight, and it’s a good size for my hands.

My New Dehydrator

Posted in Homemaking, and Homesteading

I was so excited when I was finally able to order a dehydrator as it’s something that I’ve been wanting for several years.

The last couple of weeks we’ve been finding ourselves struggling to keep track of what day it is. Changes in our schedules have just thrown us for a loop. Munchkin’s TaeKwonDo has switched from Monday, Wednesday, Friday to Tuesday, Thursday, Friday which has definitely caused a bit of confusion as we adjust to it. Our Azure Standard delivery switched from Thursday to Wednesday this month. (It’s been on Thursday for as long as I’ve been ordering.) I kept thinking it was Thursday all day yesterday. We’re trying to nail down our packout and moving date, but D has been so…
