    A Minute out of the Norm: Pinecone Birdfeeders

    November 22, 2009 /

    Thanksgiving is this week! My favorite holiday of all of them. They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. – Psalm 145:7 This year we are travelling to see my family. We are on the two year rotation. Two years here at home with Hubs family and then the next two at my parents house. I love travelling out to see my family and staying a couple of days. The only thing I struggle with is keeping my boys ‘entertained’ away from their usual toys, friends and routine. This year I have a plan to fill a few moments of time, to lessen the “MOM, I’m…

    A Simple Gift to Make That Looks Good!

    November 20, 2009 /

    At thanksgiving time, I like to have something set up for folks to do wile either waiting for the turkey to fill the house with that undeniable, wonderful aroma … or to do while waiting for that undeniable FULL feeling to fade. We have put together simple quilts, sewn up patchwork pillow cases, made Santa faces out of magnolia pods and even painted tree ornaments. All were fun and a bit challenging. I think being artistically challenged allows us not to go for perfection… but allows us to be perfectly content! And after a large meal… being content is a good thing! This year we will be putting together a…

    The Military Community is Thankful this Thanksgiving

    November 18, 2009 /

    A Very Happy Thanksgiving from our military-family to yours. I took an informal poll of what you, the military family, are thankful for this year; then I compiled those answers with my own thoughts. Wishing each of you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving!(By the way these are absolutely in no particular order.) My husband. He spent a year in Iraq and was with us only in-heart last Thanksgiving. Distance somehow made our hearts grow fonder. Love that does not dwindle but only seems to grow. I’m thankful for no deployment this year, and a new job for my husband that has him home more for now. @householdsix Reunions. Between a…

    Military Cookbook Project: Home Cooking On The Mind

    November 16, 2009 /

    The Taste of Home. There is a magazine with that name, there is also a mindspot that is so real it opens floods of memories. A taste of home brings our matriarchs, patriarchs and local chefs right there to the senses, all of those senses can be activated… just by the thoughts of tastes that are not at our fingertips. We all have them. Some are horrible experiences, lessons learned, laughter shared and ribbing taken or given. Then there is the images of visual dinner gatherings, and items that should just be there on the table…a favorite of someone from a recipe learned from somewhere… memories. These memories are such…

    Looking Back at Veterans Day

    November 12, 2009 /

    I have to take this opportunity to thank all of the companies out there that did a fabulous job of honoring our veterans yesterday (and throughout this month in some cases). Last night was crazy busy for us. As soon as *E* got off of the bus we headed to the dentist for the boys 6 month-checkups, then it was off to dinner across town and finally to friend’s house for our weekly ‘get together’. I mention dinner because we could have *easily* done a slow-cooker meal and popped home between the dentist and small-group. BUT I knew a number of restaurants in our area that were honoring our Veterans…
