In honor of National Dog Day, meet my dogs! Max and Piper Max, on the left, is a German Shepherd mix. We got him, for free, when he was 6 weeks old. He's about 18 months old now.

It depends on how busy life is, and … [Continue]
I talked before about a mother's emotions when she misses her kids that aren't at home. After a very emotional 7 weeks for me, I'm over joyed to say that she is home! Abby was gone for 7 weeks on a mission trip. Our only communication for those 7 weeks were 2 - 5 minute phone calls, and letters. Not enough for this … [Continue]

We had chicken, carrots, potatoes, and onions in the slowcooker last week. I uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts so there isn't a lot of chicken fat. You could certainly use other … [Continue]
