Valentine’s Day Breakfast

02/11/2013

For Valentine's Day Dale and I rarely give each other gifts. I've asked him not to give me flowers or buy me a card(we make our own). At this moment in life it's not in the budget. I don't need things to tell me he loves me.Instead we enjoy doing the simple things together, like having a candlelit breakfast or dinner at home. Making things you already have the [...]

Making Dried Fruit Christmas Ornaments

Back in the olden days people celebrated Christmas with greater simplicity, gifts and ornaments were generally handmade. Making your own homemade Christmas decorations is a great family tradition, it's inexpensive and easy to do. You should start small and work your way up. Just try one grapefruit, orange and apple to begin with and see how you like it. Makin[...]

The Rich Home

12/05/2012

The Queen of Sheba was wealthy and beautiful. She had everything a queen could want - gold, silver, ivory, precious jewels and servants taking care of all her needs. Well, almost everything. She'd heard about the famous King Solomon (I Kings 10:1) and his miraculous God. Even though her people had many gods to worship, none intrigued her like the Lord God of[...]

Making Gingerbread Houses

11/30/2012

Years ago our family started the tradition of making gingerbread houses the day after Thanksgiving. We spend as much time laughing and talking as we do making the houses, it's so much fun. We made our own gingerbread one year, it was way to much work and we've also bought gingerbread kits--that was too much money. So, most years we use graham crackers, frosting and v[...]

Thanksgiving Day- Let’s Celebrate like the Pilgrims

11/20/2012

Our first semblance of Thanksgiving was in 1621 after the colonist first harvest at Plymouth. The Wampanoag Indians were invited to join the celebration with food as the colonist lifted their hands toward heaven and thanked God for His protection and provisions in their new country. The pilgrims invited people outside of their own tribe and were not ashamed to make [...]

Thanksgiving- Decorating and Food Preparations

11/19/2012

Yesterday I was experimenting with my iPhone and accidentally sent photo's to my blog post and they posted! I didn't mean to post them. I've still got a lot to learn with on my iPhone! Sorry about that! This weekend was busy cooking and decorating for Thanksgiving, visiting with family/ friends and doing farm work. [...]

A Thanksgiving Tradition -The Children Dress like Pilgrims

11/09/2012

When the girls were young I used to dress them up like little pilgrims for Thanksgiving. They loved it until they got too big for it. By the time Ellie (our youngest) was old enough to be an adorable pilgrim, Heather protested and wouldn't be one anymore. So, I never got a picture of all five being pilgrims at one time (photos are from various years). Each one g[...]

Christmas–Figgy Pudding

11/01/2012

Flaming Christmas pudding is a spectacular family tradition. I love the scene in the 1938 Christmas Carol movie where the mom serves flaming Christmas pudding and the family goes crazy! It’s absolutely priceless. Wouldn’t it be something to see your family so excited over a desert? You’ve got to watch it, yes you must! [tentblogger-vimeo 52623055] [...]

Sorcery, Mediums and Witchcraft

10/30/2012

Standing at my door was a girl I had known since 1st grade. At 8 years-old she had a fascination with magic, mediums and consulting the dead in séances. As a child I had never heard what God thought about these things, it just wasn’t talked about in my church. I didn’t know for sure that it was wrong but I felt it wasn’t right and never participated in her lifestyle. [...]

My Favorite Holiday, Easter

04/08/2012

It was Easter Eve. I was checking out at the grocery store and the cashier asked me what my favorite holiday was. I never got to answer since she and the bagger agreed the best holidays are the ones with the most food and celebration. Easter morning was glorious. We worshipped with intense passion over our risen Lord and took the Lords Supper. On Easter, usuall[...]
