The Hutterites are a plain Christian group related to the Amish and Mennonites. Ever since I first heard of the Hutterites a couple of years ago, I have been interested in reading more about them. So when I heard about the Hutterite Diaries, I knew I had to read this book.
Linda Maendel is a Hutterite author, blogger, and educator who lives in Elm River Colony outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba. You can find Linda online at: website, Twitter
When I read the description of Go Far – The Christopher Rush Story and watched the trailer, I knew it was something that I wanted to share with you.
Go Far is a Dove approved film. Watch the Go Far trailer below!
We had several Amish families move into our county last year. It’s so nice to see the horse and buggies driving around our little town. One Amish store opened up about 8ish miles from our house. We’ve been there a few times, and we really love the cheese. I have my eye on a few baskets that this family makes. As soon as I get done with my new pantry, and get my kitchen in order, I plan on buying a few of them.
Now, the families are holding bake sales to raise money to build their own school. I missed the first bake sale, but my husband and I were able to go to the latest sale on Saturday. We spent about $20. on baked goods. The cream filled donuts that are in the bag in this picture were so good! Like amazing! I will admit to eating 2………
Good thing they aren’t having these sales every week! Because I will be in line early to buy some next time! lol
After the bake sale, which is only about 3 miles from my house, we headed to the Amish store to buy cheese. This time, we got colby, swiss, pepper jack, and parmesan. So much better than the cheese you can buy in the store. It’s not made here in Kentucky, but it is made in Ohio. So it might not be local, but it’s regional. lol
Back in the day, hahaha, when I was in school, there where only 2 graduations by the time you finished 12th grade. Kindergarten and high school.
Many kids go to Pre-School now and have a graduation before they even go to Kindergarten. Complete with caps and gowns.
I think kindergarten graduation started because kindergartens were privately owned when they first started. When public schools started offering kindergarten, they kept the graduation. That’s my theory, anyway.
Michael W. Smith released his newest album, Sovereign, earlier this month. He is releasing a brand new video of a single from the album, Sky Spills Over, today!
Last week, I baked 5 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast using this Zesty Lemon Seasoning. We ate some for supper that night, I put some in the freezer, and I used some in Chicken Alfredo. The seasoning added another level of flavor, and was so good.
As far as steps go, I did really bad this week! In my defense, we had a very busy week.
I also fully admit that because we were so busy, I did not do as well with the food that I ate. I will definitely get back to paying more attention to what I eat this week!
