Ah, Autumn! The leaves are turning and the air has a crisp bite to it. It’s the perfect time to be turning on the oven to take the chill out of the air with something to eat. We make many Autumn treats, apple pie, pumpkin cake, chocolate chip cookies (well, let’s be honest – weContinue reading “An Autumn Snack”

An Easy Treat
A few months back I bought some gluten-free pastry dough. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with it, but it sounded good. Yesterday, I decided was the day. I had a few “older” apples as well as a few new apples. So, I set out to make some apple pieContinue reading “An Easy Treat”
Money Saver – Sewing
Whatever your situation in life, people like to save money. I grew up without a lot of extras. We did not have much, but my mom sewed most of our clothes, and that helped a lot in the money department. I’m always surprised when someone doesn’t know how to sew. What? How is that possible?Continue reading “Money Saver – Sewing”
The Warrior
Look at me. I mean really look at me. Do I look like a warrior to you? I didn’t think so. However, I learned this evening, that I do to child #3. What? Yup. She sees me as a warrior. What makes me a warrior? Well, I do kill all the spiders in my house.Continue reading “The Warrior”

Wondering Waffles
Tonight, we had breakfast for dinner. It’s a fun way to shuffle up a menu change and the kids love it. It was child #3’s night to cook and she wanted waffles in the worst way! (See my lovely alliteration! An English person to the core! Diagramming, anyone?!!!) So, although I did not mind whichContinue reading “Wondering Waffles”
Remember Always
I keep forgetting that we are here for only a short while. It seems to take an eternity for things to come as children. Christmas must take at least three – five years to come. Easter, too. But once it happens, the day goes so fast and we are left to wait another three –Continue reading “Remember Always”
Aunt Prayers
Dear readers, I humbly ask for your prayers, as my aunt suffered a massive stroke early this morning. According to the latest update, she had a large blood clot removed and is responding well to a blood thinner. She also moved her eyes and fingers today, so that is very good news. The next forty-eightContinue reading “Aunt Prayers”
