We have another book giveaway today! Parenting by Paul David Tripp. I have been very impressed with this book. It applies so many practical Biblical principles to our relationship with our children and our teaching and training and guiding them. It shows the much bigger picture of teaching them to follow God compared to simply […]
Yarn Along {The Moodys}
A friend gifted me with this journal last week. She said she’d found it a good while back and picked it up thinking it looked like me. Isn’t it fun? So bright and cheery and the cookies look so good, it makes you want to pluck them out of the picture. 🙂 Especially early in […]

From the Farmhouse Kitchen: Table Setting and Build Your Own Cupcake

A Pathway in the Park and a Detour Too
The pathway was shady and the weather that perfect mix of sunshine and seventy as I placed sneakered feet on the sidewalk and set out along the walking trail in the park. It was peaceful and pretty and then, around a bend, the bright orange cones signaled a roadblock ahead. The ground and sidewalk were […]

Drilling the Wheat 2016
The squeak of the drill. The rattle of the press wheels. The throb of the tractor engine as it puts forth power. It is rhythmic. It speaks of the circle of life and seasons. It is a down deep cycle of farm life. It is a sound I love. And I love […]
