The Heavens Proclaim His Glory A Spectacular View of Creation Through the Lens of the NASA Hubble Telescope Created and Compiled by Lisa Stilwell Going camping in the desert where light pollution is minimal, we are able to see the splendor of the moon and stars with the naked eye. Much beauty is there to behold by just looking up. You can’t help but see the magnificent beauty of the Lord’s Creation.

We have declared weekends, especially Sunday, family time. On Saturdays, we get various things done that are unable to be done during the week. This could mean doing tasks around the house and/or getting errands done. We try to get these necessary things out of the way as quickly as possible.

(We rented it from Netflix.) On Sundays, we head to church in the morning and come home to a…

I have various types of gluten free flours including: teff, amaranth, sorghum, sweet rice, white rice, brown rice, tapioca,…

When we head out camping, we normally have very little space for storage of food and seasonings. We love lots of flavor in our foods, and we don’t want to give up flavor even though we’re camping. To make things easy, D likes to take his “all purpose” seasoning, Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb, with us. It works for chicken, steak, eggs… It gives that punch of flavor that we like without needing lots of different seasonings. For those who are watching their salt intake, Mrs. Dash makes a nice substitute because it is salt-free. You don’t feel like you’re…
With all of the junk food available these days, we’re in a uphill battle with cavities. There are those kids who will get cavities no matter how diligent the child and parent are in taking care of their teeth, but it can and will be much worse if we, as parents, don’t teach our kids to take care of themselves and their teeth. (Munchkin was one of those kids that got cavities even though we were diligent with oral hygiene and diet.) Brushing Your Teeth: Ideally, kids should be brushing their teeth after each meal, but honestly, this isn’t realistic…
