For the Food on Fridays carnival, any post remotely related to food is welcome—though we love to try new dishes, your post doesn’t have to be a recipe. We’re pretty relaxed over here, and stories and photos are as welcome as menus and recipes.
When your Food on Fridays contribution is ready, just grab the broccoli button to paste at the top of your post. It ties us together visually.
Then fill in the boxes of this linky tool to join the fun! [Read more...]
Each Wednesday I’m recording a Curiosity Journal to recap the past week. Tag words are: reading, playing, learning, reacting and writing.

Over the years, I’ve made connections online and one treasure is Sarah of “beauty in the mundane.” She not only writes and homeschools, but she also makes jewelry using beads, soldering and stamping techniques. In the midst of her life, in the everyday moments, she pays attention and finds joy in serving the King of kings.
One day she contacted me and asked if she could make me a personalized piece, just for fun, for friendship.
I wear this necklace, this gift, with humble gratitude, whispering thanks to the Lord for Sarah, and for all that the heart and each letter represents.
She reminds me to see beauty in the mundane.

My son offered to sweep the kitchen floor. Though tall enough to hold a full-sized broom normally, he instead gripped it as if he were planning to whack a mouse and then slid the bristles across the vinyl tiles, managing to collect a few dog hairs and bread crumbs with each slow, inefficient motion.
While wiping the counters, I watched him, debating whether or not to say something. Should I recommend a better way?
My mind flashed to a summer day at the farm house where I grew up. After Dad and my brother finished mowing near the house, my job was to [Read more...]
By the time I was 13 or 14 years old, I realized the children’s department couldn’t provide the depth of information I craved. Shyly, I began browsing the adult nonfiction shelves for exercise books, vegetarian cookbooks, step-by-step drawing tutorials, and a series that taught survival skills, in case I ever acted on my dream of living by myself in the woods, like the kid in My Side of the Mountain.
One afternoon I glanced through books on writing. A title caught my eye: Write to Discover Yourself.
I looked both ways and plucked it from the shelf, running my fingers over the green cover with the fuchsia gerbera daisy poking out of a cup of pencils. It was a little cheesy, but… [Read more...]
“Come quick!” my daughter exclaimed as she threw open the back door. “There’s a monarch butterfly on the driveway!”
