Faith, Home, & Family
We are coming close to our summer break. The kids were hoping that this past week was the last. We have some work to do this week, though. They are not very happy about it. So maybe I’ll be able to talk them into working really hard on Monday so we can start our break then.
Since they only get the month of July off, they don’t want to miss a day!

My kids love to build forts when their cousins come over. They build big elaborate forts that they also sleep in. Every summer they try to out do the forts they built the year before. Even though the four kids at home are all teenagers, they still like to build forts.
Here’s the fort my daughter and niece built and slept in last night.
An eclectic arrangement of sheets, blankets, and a few towels. Help up by clothesline, clothespins, chairs, and a Ladder Ball
Yes, all the blanket, sheets, and towels will have to be washed again before putting them away. Yes, it costs money for electric, water, and laundry deteregent.
But the memories they make together are priceless!
So let your kids build a fort. Let them have fun together. Or with cousins or friends.
Let them make great memories together.
Because that’s what really matters!

My major accomplishment in the kitchen last week was a seafood feast I prepared for my mother’s birthday dinner on Thursday.
Keep reading to see how it turned out!!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Brummel & Brown.
I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the store to purchase Brummel & Brown Spread to try for this post. There was only one left on the shelf! I thought that that must be good sign if the other spreads are still stocked and Brummel & Brown Spread was sold out.
After running Zach back and forth to archery camp last week, it has been quiet here this week. Well, as quiet as a house with four teenagers, 2 dogs, 10 cats, and 2 parents trying to hold it all together, can be! lol

I have been thoroughly enjoying watching When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark Channel. When Calls the Heart is a series produced and directed by Michael Landon Jr. and inspired by the best-selling books by Janette Oke. I pretty much love everything about When Calls the Heart. The characters, the time period, the clothing, and the settings.
We were without electric for over 4 hours Tuesday evening into Wednesday. When your kitchen is all electric, things get interesting.
I did go to the store Wednesday morning and buy 80 pounds of ice to put in the fridge/freezer and my two chest freezers. Thankfully, all the food survived.
