We worship Him in a manger because we know we can worship Him as a 12 year old lad who astonished doctors and lawyers with His questions and answers. We worship Him in a manger because we know we can worship Him as a young minister who did and spake things as no other man […]
Soft Pretzels
My littles had a good time rolling out soft pretzels the other evening. We hadn’t made them for a long time. They made fun shapes and designs. Several of my son’s shapes involved snakes, and I was all too happy to let him eat them! I was fine to stick with a pretzel shaped pretzel. […]
I Like to HomeSchool Because..
I am not really a patient person most of the time. At one point in my life I would have looked at Moms that homeschooled and thought that they had it all together and all had the patience of Job. Now, I know better. Every Mom has her times, whether or not she homeschools. Even the […]
Chocolate Chunkers By My Farmgirl
Yummy! It is really hard to beat chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. Especially, with a glass of milk. And, I think that’s a fact. My son has been studying fact and opinion-I will have to ask him!
Gazing at the Baby in the Manger
I want to see the baby in the manger, yes, I do, I want to gaze upon him with a child’s eyes and view, I want to see him all wrapped up in his swaddling clothes, I want to gaze upon his little fingers and his toes, I want to smooth his hair, all […]
My Babies
This picture hangs on my bedroom wall. And I’m wondering where the time has gone?!!
Things Making Me Happy Today
These things are blessing my day today and making me happy-a mix of Christmas music playing..Martina McBride, Chris Tomlin, Antrim Mennonite Choir, Casting Crowns, listening to my kids’ happy chatter and make-believe as they play Playmobil, candles flickering and glowing-delightfully- of course!, putting up Christmas decorations, rain outside, my cozy, cozy wood stove, relaxing, seeing God’s […]
Milo Harvest
Finally, I am getting some pictures of milo harvest posted.. I don’t end up at the field as much when Matthew is cutting milo as I do when we are cutting wheat or cutting our irrigated circle. Cutting milo is just different. It usually involves cooler to colder weather and shorter days of cutting compared […]
Happy First Day of December!

Buddy Davis
I like words. I like words that are put together in fun ways. I also like catchy tunes and fun songs…especially kid’s songs! So, when we first heard Buddy Davis’ songs, I liked them. Because all of the above describes his songs. Plus, he is all about Creation and our Creator and I am all about that, […]
If…
If you wake up kind of grumpy and out of sorts… And, If you have a headache and pressure and popping in your ears, And, If you are stressed about things you can’t change anyway and shouldn’t be stressed about, but should just be trusting your heavenly Father, And, If there are circumstances going on in […]
We Cooked, We Gave Thanks, We Ate, We had Leftovers,
Matthew 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Lego Crane
My son has enjoyed watching YouTube videos with his dad, of kids showing their farm sets or Lego sets and explaining how they made them or what they did or other details. He and his sister have also enjoyed making video stories with his Lego sets. They love to shoot videos and then love to […]

Thanksgiving Day Food
Over the river, and through the wood, When Grandmother sees us come, She will say, “Oh, dear, the children are here, Bring a pie for everyone.” Over the river, and through the wood— Now Grandmother’s cap I spy! Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done? Hurrah for the pumpkin pie! ~Lydia Marie Child What […]
Chocolate Malts
I love me a good ole chocolate malt. But not all chocolate malts are created equal. Not at all. I’ve had some chocolate malts that were called chocolate malts, but really all they were was a chocolate shake. Which is good, but not nearly as good as a chocolate malt. Not nearly. The malt flavor […]
