One of my favorite meals from last week was Chicken Bacon Ranch Pockets. The bacon was turkey, the pockets were wheat, and I used chicken from the freezer that I made last week. It made a nice meal, that was quick, easy, and didn't heat up the kitchen too much. On Wednesday last week, I cooked 5 pounds of hamburger. We had … [Continue]
Well, it's not really accurate to call this post Our Homeschool Week in Review. Since it's been a couple of months since I've posted! Quite a few things have happened since I last posted.

With decades of ministry experience, Michelle Anthony and Megan Marshman capture the guiding essentials of life-changing family ministry in this new book for children ministry and student … [Continue]

And I do remember laying out on my yard to get a tan as a teenager. But now, as an adult, the sun is not my friend. You see, I passed out from the heat at an amusement park at the age of 18 … [Continue]
