Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. ~ Jeremiah 6:16
November is almost over, and while we have enjoyed the down time from therapy we still have barely scratched the surface of all the things that need doing around here. That said we have been busy. I am another year older, perhaps not wiser. At 37 I made a list of 37 things I wanted [...]
I think most North Americans are somewhat familiar with Groundhog Day. On February 2 nd we await to see if the little guy will peek out of his hole and see his shadow. Supposedly, if he sees his shadow then it is six more weeks of winter, and if he doesn’t then we will [...]
I am always crafting something and recently I crocheted this bunny for Hannah. I found her pattern for free on Raverly, you can find the pattern here. I chose to go with a slightly heavier yarn than it suggested. Only because I really loved the feel of it. It was an alpaca wool blend, [...]
You know there is always two ways to look at something, and sometimes even more than two. Last night as I tucked Joel in to bed he looked at me and said, “I can’t wait for tomorrow!” “Oh why’s that?” I asked “Cuz I get my Easy Pod!” I always try to prep him the [...]
The other day I shared how much our family enjoys apples, and I rattled off a crazy long list of things you can make with apples. One of my readers asked if we had the recipes for all those things on the list specifically the fritters. We have made many of the things on the list [...]
Wednesday at sunset Purim begins, a few years ago the children and I studied Purim and have enjoyed practising some of the Purim traditions ever since. One of our favourite parts is making Hamantaschen (Haman’s Hat). These little cookies we found could be filled with a variety of yummy centres. Our favourites are strawberry or raspberry jam and brownie filling, [...]
I have written 100 blog posts in my mind as I lay awake at night… when I should be sleeping. The truth of the matter is I have set some… umm… for lack of a better term, ‘family life goals’ and have challenged myself that if I have not met those than I have no [...]
A few days ago I was browsing recipes online and Joel was watching over my shoulder when a picture caught his eye. I asked him if he thought it looked good, and while he licked his lips he made a slurping noise. I took that as a ‘yes’ and decided to read the how to’s [...]
With Holiday season upon us, Canada just had their Thanksgiving and the US’s is fast approaching and Christmas on it’s heals what do you do with all that leftover turkey? Hot turkey sandwiches with gravy on them. Turkey casserole? How about the bones, why not put them to work too?? Making soup is really quite [...]
As promised here is my recipe for Mexican Dip. Now I can’t rightly say why this is called Mexican Dip but that is how we know it. My whole family likes it and I have never met anyone who didn’t like it but… it isn’t going to win any awards for presentation. Now I am [...]
