This is just a simple easy meatloaf, but it always gets thumbs up when I make it. It’s from a church cookbook from a church we went to years ago. 1 lb ground beef 1/2 c. milk 1/2 c. breadcrumbs, plain or flavored 1 carrot, grated 1/3 package onion soup mix 1 egg pepper to [...]
In my reading of Changed Into His Image, the other day, I read this interesting illustration. A better view of wisdom is that of a driver caught in the middle of a traffic snarl. He doesn’t need to know WHY is the road blocked. He doesn’t have to know WHY his car blew a tire. [...]
that bits of my former self are peeking through…was that just last week? I spoke too soon. Last Thursday, James and I went to his dentist appointment. Someone came out of the hallway and I thought, “That kid looks familiar.” James and I checked in and sat down and I hear, “Hi, Aunt Lizzie.” Yep! [...]

Most of the time, I’m truly doing just fine. I carry on and go through the days keeping busy, having fun, and enjoying my son. But at odd times things hit me and twist my heart. It’s never the same thing twice. It’s never expected. It’s never anything overly huge. It surprises me sometimes, but [...]
When we went to the marriage seminars last year, we made some good friends–even Christian friends. One of the ladies encourages me all the time and I’ve been thankful to get to know her. Our group of girls gets together at Gigi’s once a month on the night after the marriage seminar and we let [...]
(Van Gogh print on our fridge) The longer I use Ambleside the happier I am with the results. This year I’m really seeing the fruit of Charlotte Mason’s principles, and I’m looking forward to watching James build on this excellent foundation. One really nice thing about Charlotte Mason is that the arts are part of [...]
