Made for Me

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #229 Growing up, I never imagined that I would be married to an active duty Marine.  That wasn’t even remotely on my radar.  I always thought that I’d live close to family, and that my kids would grow up with my sister’s kids.  We’d have that perfect little house, and my kiddos would grow up doing activities with extended family. Becoming friends with D back in junior high would change my life (for the better) forever.  Even then, he was gung ho Marine Corps.  He loved the idea of serving his country as a Marine.  He and…

Nurturing a Gift

Posted in Homeschooling, and Photography

Project 365 – #228 One of the benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to nurture gifts, talents, and passions in our kids.  Munchkin thoroughly enjoys drawing and animals.  As time passes, she’s started to narrow down her interest in animals to a passion about horses.  Today, she drew this picture of a horse, Man ‘O War, from the Black Stallion book series.  This is her vision of what he would have looked like.  I love watching her grow in her drawing skills.  She does not get these skills from me.  They definitely come from Daddy and his side of the…

Review and Giveaway: The Grace Card

Posted in Reviews

Do you have the courage to play the grace card? A family tragedy leaves a family broken and struggling to cope with life even many years after the heart-breaking loss.  Officer Mac McDonald struggles with grief and pain compounded by the bitterness of too many years of holding onto the past and pushing aside healing.  Sgt. Sam Wright is a police officer who is also a pastor.  He feels called to the ministry, but life’s circumstances lead him to begin to doubt his calling.  When the two are partnered up, they struggle to get along and working together in not…

Crockpot “Roast” Chicken

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #227 Crockpot “Roast” Chicken is a super easy, quick meal that takes very little thought or preparation.  I literally take the whole chicken out of the freezer and put it in the crockpot around lunch time.  I season it generously with whatever seasoning I feel like using.  (I used Emeril’s seasoning blend for this chicken.)  To have the frozen chicken ready by dinner, I put the crockpot on medium or high.  If you want a crispy skin, you can place the cooked bird in the oven for 20-30 minutes prior to serving.  The chicken will fall right…
