Our baby girl is definitely growing up all too fast. I remember when she would wear a frilly, pink Easter dress with a matching straw hat for Easter. Times have changed, but not for the worst. It’s just different. We’re grateful that even though Munchkin’s style in clothing has changed over the years that she’s always wanted to remain modest in her attire. I think she has a fun style all of her own which often means that finding clothing isn’t always easy. When you throw in her being super sensitive to how clothing feels (scratchy material and seams are…

A Simple Sunday Dinner
Posted in Family, Gluten Free, and Homemaking
We view Sunday as a day of worship, rest, and family time. Sunday mornings are spent worshiping and learning about our Savior, our Creator. Afternoons are spent relaxing as a family. Sometimes, we head out and do some exploring. Other times we watch a movie or play games. While the ideal is no work on Sundays, the reality is that sometimes D needs to work on a vehicle later in the day, but oddly, he usually finds that relaxing as well. Because we do view Sunday as a day of rest, I don’t cook elaborate meals on Sundays. Lunches are…
Up from the Grave He Arose!

Crispy Rice Baskets for Easter
Posted in Gluten Free, and Holidays
These start off with the traditional recipe – 3 Tbsp butter, 1 package large marshmallows, and 6 cups rice cereal (I used gluten free Koala Crisp cereal – chocolate crispy rice). Prepare as usual – melt butter over low heat until melted, stir in marshmallows until completely melted, remove from heat and add cereal, stir until cereal is completely mixed in. Grease some muffin tins (I greased with coconut oil) and add cereal mixture. Make a well in the top, so you can “fill” the basket. For the green, I used green marshmallows as Munchkin doesn’t like coconut. I added…
