I am sad to say that this will be my last post. Going over my finances, I realized that I could no longer cover the expense of this blog. It is sad for me, as I feel as if I have so many recipes still to share, however, if I am honest, I’m having aContinue reading “One Last Post”

Do You Know the Words?
Something I think I’ve always kind of taken for granted was knowing the words to our national anthem. It was brought to my attention of late, that not everyone does. That’s such a shame! Fear not! I have your back, fellow bloggers and friends! I humbly give you Francis Scott Keys beautiful words: “O say,Continue reading “Do You Know the Words?”
Mental Health Help
Oh, friends! It has been such a time for us! I’m so sorry that my blogging has taken such a back seat to my life, but, as you will learn, this is sometimes necessary. Last night I learned that Child #3 had relapsed big-time into a former, concerning behavior. He slashed the heck out ofContinue reading “Mental Health Help”

Things to Teach: Honesty
The other day children #’s 2, 4, and I were at an amusement park. We were excited to find that my favorite water ride was finally open, after almost 2 years of being closed! Yay! We got in line, and no sooner than we did, than a boy between 10 and 12 years of ageContinue reading “Things to Teach: Honesty”

That was the case today. I don’t exactly have my own kitchen right now, so I have to borrow one toContinue reading “Never Just a Cake Mix”
Sigh…
Yesterday, Child #2 and I were in a small grocery store. The checkout line was long and I had to ask several people if they were in line. We were all laughing and joking about the long lines and whose turn it was. I noticed a man in front of me who kept looking backContinue reading “Sigh…”

Well, for me, as possibly for you too, forgiveness is a process. I used to come down the front steps and hold onto the railing, getting irritated when theContinue reading “Finding the Big “F””
Something to Teach – Cooking
Buy a child a meal and she will eat for a day. Teach a child to cook and she will never go hungry. Ok, so I’m paraphrasing here, but you get the idea. From the time my children were young, I had them help out in the kitchen. They would fetch ingredients or utensils, etc.Continue reading “Something to Teach – Cooking”
The Balancing Act
Tonight I was reminded of the delicate balancing act I perform every day. Earlier today I spent some time with Child #2 as Children #’s 1, 3, & 4 stayed home and did chores. It was nice to have some special 1-on-1 time with Child #2 and we thoroughly enjoyed it. When we returned home,Continue reading “The Balancing Act”
