This Blueberry and Cream Cheese Strata Casserole is my personal adaptation. I made this a couple of times and after reading some other versions and comments online, made some tweaks to make it my own. This is the best version by far! My changes were more maple syrup, less eggs, more blueberries, and adding vanilla …
My mom made this Pineapple Zucchini Bread for us the last time we visited. Caroline gobbled it up so consider that a strong recommendation. If you are looking for a yummy way to use up some of that zucchini, here is a great way to do so with tasty pineapple, raisins, and nuts. Pineapple Zucchini …
David and I are weather geeks. We both wanted to be meteorologists when we were younger and I think Caroline got some of the genes. She found a homemade weather station in a library book and was very excited to make it. So I drafted David to do this as a science project with her! …

In recent weeks much was written about the exchanges between Tim Challies and Ann Voskamp regarding Challies’ review of her book, One Thousand Gifts. He didn’t like the book, she sort of responded, and he sort of backed down when she invited his family to dinner. I will confess that I haven’t read the book. …
A few weeks ago I ended up on the website A girl and a glue gun and her DIY Barbie House post (now both closed). I knew Caroline would be enthralled, but I had no idea how much it would impact her. She has watched pretty much all of the crafting videos by My Froggy …
I’ve been thinking about how fragmented lives are today. Maybe yours isn’t, but mine is in some ways and I suspect this is true for many. I’ve been thinking about this because my inbox is full of unanswered letters, there are friends I want to see that I haven’t in a long time, and life …
Today I’m sharing my number one rule of saving money. Why? Because I haven’t been doing a good job of this and I can see the consequences. But I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this one rule makes a tremendous difference in our finances. The Number One Way to Save Money Get …
