I found this granola bar recipe online when looking for something our family would enjoy. (And we did!) It also contains lots of pantry staples so it’s something that can easily be made when the mood hits for a treat like this. I decided to tweak it a bit to make it even better so …

So we all made it through the first official week of adjusting to the new coronavirus world. Last week was so surreal in some ways I never even updated my weekly checklist in my planner which I do religiously each week. Nothing. I had a few things to work on and that was what I …

Happy Monday! This post was supposed to go up on Sunday, but I was simply not able to focus this weekend to sit down and write much. I had so much nervous energy that I spent most of my weekend cleaning and organizing. Usually I add some chit chat to the weekly homemaking goals post, …

Happy Sunday! I’m moving this cozy home weekly post to Sundays because I’m also moving my newsletter to go out on Sunday afternoon or evening. For people who like to organize their week on Sunday, they will have it then. For people who take a break from email on Sunday, the newsletter will be waiting …

Happy March! The sun is shining and I’m ready to jump into another week of creating a home filled with peace, understanding, joy, beauty, and faith for my family. I won’t do it perfectly, but I’ll do my best and that’s all any of us can do. I’m noticing more and more blogs discussing the …

I originally found this recipe via Brenda at Coffee Tea Books and Me. It’s a flexible muffin recipe called Muffins My Way (on her recipe blog) that can be made many different ways. In our home, however, there is only ONE way to make it. LOL! Caroline eats two of these every morning for breakfast. …

Happy Monday! We just had a glorious three days in a row of 100% sunshine. I knew it had been a long time since that had happened, but even I was shocked when the meteorologist confirmed this morning that the last time was May 2014. Wow. If you aren’t familiar with where I live (West …

Happy Monday! I hope you have a good weekend. I spent quite a bit of time working on my basement cleanout project and made some great progress. This morning I recorded another coronavirus update and put it in the forum. This is the one for today (February 17) and here is the previous one I …

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. We had a lovely, snowy weekend. We’ve had very few days of pretty snowfall all day this winter. Yesterday was one of them and we thoroughly enjoyed it. So it’s time to jump into the week with all its possibilities and make a list of small …

Happy Monday! I hope you had a pleasant weekend. Ours was quiet. Caroline came down with something midweek and was still trying to work through it this weekend. We finally had some sunshine! During the first 32 days of 2020, we had 21 days of zero sunshine. Zero. As in none. For almost three weeks …

Happy Monday! We had a low-key weekend in our home, something all three of us needed. On Saturday, David and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary and 14th anniversary of discovering we were expecting a baby. We are thankful for our blessings. We also had some unexpected news that is going to impact our family …

Happy Monday! Those of you further south are probably already thinking about spring arriving in the next few weeks. I sold one of my Spring Literacy and Math Packs yesterday and thought, “Already? We just got our first real dumping of snow!” But then I remembered I’ve seen pictures of pansies on blogs written in …
