This is what I feel about the next 8 weeks. “And so it begins.” A very busy time for a gal whose life is generally quiet and always the same. But, you eat the elephant one bite at a time and I’m working on the coming bridal shower of my daughter with our church family. Low key, 2 dear sweet friends are helping and we are just wanting to celebrate together as Hannah moves off permanently from her church family on to her new life with Jacob.
Here is my menu for the week. Very easy (many things are already in my freezer) and very quick. Granted, it is slightly boring, but I can use a bit of boring right about now! 
Download my FREE Menu Planner to help you in your own meal planning. Breakfasts offer fruit, lunches have raw veggies and suppers have cooked veggies or salad.

These past few weeks have been busy for me but the next 2 months will be even more so. My 5th child is graduating from homeschool and my eldest daughter is getting married. *sigh* I am excited for them both but there also comes a mixed bag of emotions.
As my daughter prepares to be mistress of her own home with her future husband it has made me mindful of something that I’ve always wanted to do for my children: prepare a cookbook of the special recipes I’ve used over the years.
Now, I’m not a great cook. But we do have special foods that the children love and recipes that they favor. So I’m going to pull together a short book (there are not that many) of my recipes. For my children I’m going to print it out and put in a binder with sheet protectors. But I will also make it available here as a free download. It’s one piece of HOME that my children can take with them when they leave.
GREAT! Now I’m crying as I think about them leaving!!
What are the special legacies you want to leave for your children?

Well, I am sure hoping that my week is a quiet one! The last several weeks have been hectic for me, and not always with fun.

Well, what a week this has been and so much to share! A few weeks ago we had a basement flood (and were ill prepared, so it took us a few days to pump it all out). Then this last week we had a sewage back-up in the basement. What a learning experience!! But now . . . →Read More:

I’ve been meditating on prayer these past 11 years (I know, I’m a slow thinker!) and how we so often pray weak, faithless and lifeless prayers. I see 2 different trends in prayer in the church today.

Well, this past week was my birthday. And while the wrinkles on my body are not what I long for, I DO love growing older with the Lord AND with my husband. And ALL of my children are wonderful! So I’m delighted in this journey the Lord has me on.
So another week of menus! . . . →Read More:

How many times do we hear ourselves saying, “I can’t do anything. All I can do is pray?” I remember a day about 22 years ago when the Lord slapped me upside the head when I said that!
I don’t have a lot to say, well, I do but I’m not going . . . →Read More:
