We love cookies at our house. So much in fact, that I cannot make them very often because they are gone ridiculously fast. Okay – so I still bake them, but I like easy recipes that don’t take a lot of time or make too many at once. In honor of National Cookie Month, I… read more »
Lately, I’ve found some of the cutest make-it-yourself projects online this week and just wanted to share them with you. I am ALL about pretty notebooks. I can admit – I’ve been known to purchase a notebook for it’s beautiful cover… Really. So when I saw this tutorial at Splitcoaststampers for creating your own personalized… read more »
I’ve been VERY tired lately – and we’ve got a lot of “stuff” going on in and around our home and family. Thankfully, Curly is done with soccer – but she had fun and made some new friends and rediscovered her love for digging up worms out of the dirt… We were all kinda dealing… read more »
Fall brings a fresh attitude into my life. Summer heat beats down on me and I feel the energy just sapping away. But then Fall arrives, with its crisp morning air, bright sunshiny afternoons, and cool evenings – and I am revived once again. Honestly – Fall is my favorite season – and is also… read more »
One of the multitude of benefits of my blogging internship is the extreme exposure to foodie blogs. I’ve found some pretty great cooks, bakers & bloggers – and now I’m a loyal follower of many of them.

I am really finding a lot of great recipes from Allrecipes. I found my Amish Friendship Sourdough Starter there, and several recipes to use it in. I’ve made this recipe twice in the past four days: Sourdough Scones. I am a big fan of scones. As a matter of fact, the girls & I often… read more »
So, I’ve personally seen a mini-tranformation in myself over the past month. Incorporating a “planner” to guide my days has really had an effect on my attitude, my energy level, and my purpose. WHO KNEW??? Not only that, but I’ve rediscovered my LOVE for baking. And now I CAN’T STOP!!! (But it’s okay – Roy… read more »
So are you an expert Notebooker? Are you new to the idea? Are you still trying to figure out why anybody would take the time to put a “Home Keeper Notebook” together? Just like any other organizational system, a Home Notebook is great for some and useless for others (although I tend to lean more… read more »
Yesterday I wrote just a little bit about bread baking & shared some recipes. Today, I want to talk more about the bread baking process and how it parallels a life of faith. My mom was quite a cook / baker when I was growing up. We always had something freshly baked at our house… read more »
