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 […]

We all have certain traditional food that is served every year around Thanksgiving. Here is one of ours. 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. She also made […]
Double View

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 […]

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 […]
