Oprah is teaching false religion

A friend sent me this article about Oprah and her soon to air new series on her daily radio program. In this series she plans to teach on the New Age Christ from the Course in Miracles Workbook. This fascinates me. For as long as I can recall I always understood the power that this [...]

My two new favorite things

I have come across two pretty cool things recently and am way excited.
First off if you have small children from about 2 years through 3rd grade they will love www.starfall.com it is such a great site. I have been letting Zoe and Zack sit at the computer with me and (sometimes Zoe does it without my [...]

Menu Planning Monday

Ok, this title is kind of a joke for this week, because I haven’t even thought about what we are going to make for meals this week, nor do I really plan to. I’m hoping to just wing it. A group of us women from our Sunday School decided that we would do some bulk [...]

Baby Talk

There  have been lots of talk about babies around our house lately. All of a sudden Zoe is fascinated with the subject. She is continually asking me about her new baby, wanting to know how I’m going to get it out of my tummy… Ahemmmmm, umm the baby is going to come out at the [...]

On the day after the anniversary of Roe V. Wade, I came across this video. What’s incredible to me is that although it seems incomprehensible, 50 million children have been aborted since abortion was legalized.  Although this video is heartbreaking, the courage of this couple to chose to love this child regardless [...]

Bible Study

I am involved in two bible studies right now. Our women’s ministry at church is doing the Beth Moore Stepping up, a Journey through the Psalms of Ascent, and the women in our Sunday School class are doing Discerning God’s Voice by Priscilla Shirer (I’m sure I butchered her name)  It’s always amazing to me [...]

Not to Judge

I spent a couple hours cleaning out my dear sons closet today. It was mostly full of my stuff that I had been storing in there since before he was born. And I figured after 2 years and with the new baby on the way it was time to get started. As I finished cleaning [...]

Cleaned up

After my menu post I thought I would at least share my good shopping news. I managed to make it to CVS this past weekend, and although I didn’t do as well as I was hoping I still managed to come away with some great deals. I spent about $9.00 and got $6.00 back in [...]

Menu Planning Monday

Ok, I’m just going to be honest, I have done a terrible job at frugal grocery shopping these past few trips. And the craziness of it is that I have tried to plan cheap easy dinners, and I have managed to use a lot of coupons. But still after the final totaling of my grocery [...]

If you have an oven spill, dampen the spill with water and sprinkle with salt and then scrub.

For copper bottomed pots and pans, mix salt with vinegar to make a paste apply with sponge, and clean with a steel wool pad. Rinse with water
