Grandpa’s Advent Calendar
This advent calendar was made by my dad several years ago. He used wooden office supply drawers typically used for the top of desks, attached knobs to the fronts of each drawer and then numbered and decorated them to match our tastes. If you look closely you can see our brand. The first year Grandma […]
Labels
Whether we like it or not our lives are full of labels. I’m not talking about the kind you find stuck on cans, jars, toys, etc. I mean the labels others create for you or you for others. Some are earned, respected. Other labels are slapped upon us meant to be derogatory.Reina. That’s the first […]
Scripture Flannel Board Stories
In 2007 I was asked to start a Family Home Evening Enrichment group at church. We met once a month and put together family home evening lessons. It was loads of fun but also loads of work. One of the projects I tackled was coloring most of the scripture flannel board stories that have been published […]

These Pumpkin Pie Squares take pumpkin pie to a whole new delicious level.Doesn’t that look yummy? Bon Bon made these for a dinner that the youth served to the elderly at church last night.

Double View
I took this picture last Sunday with the intention of posting it but then I forgot about it. I saw it again as I scanned through the photos I’ve taken over the last month.The valley we live in is pretty narrow only about 5 miles wide. The views are spectacular varying greatly from the east […]
Piggy Back Rides
The other day Brownie asked, “How do chickens mate?” “I didn’t grow up on a farm, so I don’t know. Go ask your dad.” Hehe, I thought that was the end of it. But Brownie forgot to ask her dad. The next day we were in the kitchen preparing lunch when Brownie raced out side […]
Hot Orange Punch and Indian Corn
Believe it or not, on occasion I do like to drink something other than my daily cup of hot cocoa. This orange punch is one recipe I love to make. It is actually good hot or cold. I usually make one recipe and keep it in a pitcher in the fridge then heat some up […]
A Well Stocked Pantry
I wasn’t kidding when I said I have a well stocked pantry. This is by far the biggest reason why our grocery budget is so low. We have a year’s supply of canned goods, wheat, beans, dry milk, oatmeal, and the ever important chocolate chips. It took several years to accumulate all the goods and […]
White Bread
I originally got this recipe when I was fourteen from my Young Women leader at church. It is almost no fail. I know it’s good when my single brothers-in-law request it constantly. Hungry farmers know what they like and what will keep them full for a long hard day of work. White Bread 1. In […]
