and give your seat to the lady standing… I’ve seen many courteous men and boys. I’ve equally seen, and sadly seen more often, the opposite. I’m training my boys to understand that ladies must be first. Ladies first! It’s terrible when my 18-year-old son understands this concept, but a 70-year-old man in the grocery store
Granola is one of those recipes that’s been practically beaten to death, but it’s also one of the staples our family makes the most of. It kills me when I walk through the store looking at the assembly of prices of pre-made, frozen and boxed foods; most of them things that could be easily made
I’m sorely tempted each time I pray to wonder where it went. As the day passes, I recall my pleadings to the Lord and say, “Remember this morning Father?” The past few days my devotionals from Elisabeth Elliot have been direct answers to my daily questions.

This is just about the best thing you can do with bread, stuff it! This recipe makes 3-4 large loaves. Cut the recipe in half for a smaller quantity. In the Bosch mixer with the dough hook combine: 5 1/2 cups warm water 4 Tbsp. sugar 2 Tbsp. sea salt 3 1/2 cups freshly ground
The dresses I’ve been working on… Would anyone like a quick lesson on how to put lace on the bottom of dresses? I always used to hem. I don’t anymore.. I took some pictures and thought about posting a quick lesson. Nothing too fancy, very simple. I meant to show the back neckline which hangs
