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 […]

Honey Whole Wheat Bread
This recipe works well for me. When done right the crust is very soft, the texture is fine, and it holds together well for sandwiches. As with all bread, practice makes perfect! Honey Whole Wheat Bread 4 TBSP Yeast 1 TBSP Sugar 2 1/2 cups warm water 2 cups milk 1 cup honey 2/3 cup […]
1 year old
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I was in the hospital giving birth to our seventh child. A whole year from the day we called family and friends to inform them we had a new son, only to have most of them think we were playing a practical joke. After all when […]

Thanks & Giving Trees
UPDATE: I fixed the graphics so they fit on a sheet of paper now without any bits getting cut off. Autumn is my favorite time of year. One of the main reasons is because I LOVE Thanksgiving. I think it’s wonderful to celebrate all the bounteous goodness God has blessed us with. To gather round […]
Family Home Evening Lessons Master list
Ready to print Family Home Evening lessons that I’ve posted on my blog. Most lessons are in PDF format. Since I first started uploading these Scribd has changed their settings making those in the “archives” not free anymore. To overcome that I have uploaded all of these lessons as 4 zip files at Dropbox. These […]
Grocery Shopping Tips – Meat, Fruits & Veggies
Disclaimer: I certainly don’t know everything about saving money or being frugal. I just like to do it as a mind game. I love logic puzzles, Scrabble, Sudoku, you get the idea. This is just plain fun. When I first started trying to be more frugal I kept track of the prices of food in […]
Planning a Menu
Last week I left a comment on Amy’s post ‘Are You Staying on Track With Groceries?’ that has garnered quite a few e-mails from other moms wanting to know how we stick to our $100 a week grocery budget. There were so many questions I decided to write a series of posts detailing how I […]
Digital Dilemmas
I was flipping through some photo albums earlier this week and realized that I didn’t have any pictures from this past year. How could that be? I’ve been taking loads of pictures. But I haven’t been printing them off. When my pictures are uploaded to my computer they are automatically filed into folders labeled for […]
Deep Thinker
Fudge, (daughter #5), was quite perplexed on Sunday. She wanted to know how the first people got to be on the earth if they weren’t born. Fudge said, “All people are born, so Adam and Eve couldn’t have been the first because they had to be born from someone. But if they were the first […]
The Importance of Being Modest
I have six beautiful daughters. They are growing up so fast! I’m a little intimidated about raising them in a world where the likes of Britney Spears, J-Lo, and Madonna are flashed across magazine covers wearing clothing that degrades. THAT IS NOT WHAT I WANT FOR MY DAUGHTERS! Does modesty need to be a thing […]
Country Living
For today’s Thursday Thirteen I’ve decided to show thirteen reasons why I love living way out in the boondocks. These are photos I’ve taken over the past year. So in no particular order… 1. The views from my east facing windows. 2. The smell of the rain mingled with sagebrush. 3. Old windmills and miner’s […]
Just David
For Woman to Woman Lei and Morning Glory decided we would review and share our thoughts on books; any fiction or mystery that you’ve read in the last 3 months is fine! Just David has been our family read-aloud for the last couple of weeks. It is a delightful, innocent type of book written by […]
Geocaching at the Windmill
We decided to do a little geocaching at the windmill. We found the exact coordinates but no cache. We think it was stolen. There are so many hunters that come through here. It was fun to get out in the beautiful weather though. Mr. Ferrer Rocher decided to start the windmill to see if any […]
