  • God Delivers Brownies?

    In an effort to teach our children Gods word, we tend to mention the daily miracles that happen all around us every day. You can’t help but see God everywhere if you just look for Him. I was having dinner with my kids last night, and my 13 year old says, “Mom, you know what…

  • Fresh Milled Baking

  • Cucumbers for Christmas?

    I opened the fridge and started searching around. I had purchased it last week at the grocery store. It had to be here somewhere. Why can’t I find the cucumber?  My 7 year old is standing in the kitchen looking at me expectantly. I had to tell him I couldn’t find it. Someone must have…

  • Abundance Rising?

    We walk the path less traveled. We choose to do the hard things, we choose the challenging life. We choose to skip a convenient life and do the things that are right and good for our family.

  • Failing is a strength

    In my experience over the years I’ve met a lot of people who aren’t willing to try new things because they run the risk of failing. Many believe if you’re going to fail your better off not doing it at all. Leave it to the experts with talents in that particular area. I have 10…
