How to Clean Your Kitchen
Sometimes our living spaces can become so out of order that we just don’t even know where to start. We might find every room in a state of disarray but there’s one room in the house that can affect me like no other and that is the kitchen. Yes, the kitchen. When the kitchen has dishes piled up, counters are crusty and cluttered, I can hardly bear it. These times happen when we have had a gathering and since it’s a late night I just go to sleep and at other times it’s for other reasons. But it’s never pleasant to wake up to, no matter the why. Here are…

Keeping a Clean & Tidy Home
Just a few weeks ago I wrote about making your days count and living well. I love this topic because I believe it is so very important to have a vision for your family – knowing what you want your family life to look like and then to work towards that end.

Getting Ready for an Arizona Wedding Reception
The newlyweds have arrived in Arizona! They’ve left the cold, chill and frozen ice of Canada and have traded it for a month of sunshine. The cabin (VRBO) will be their abode and our second guests! Welcome to the cabin – a cozy 1 bedroom retreat in the country. My husband built the barn doors and installed them. There are two barn doors. Both openings into the bedroom can be closed off with the sliding doors. The kitchen sink, counter and bottom cabinets still need to be built and installed. (I think that will be next week.) It’s such a nice comfortable place! (Click on this link to see…

A Well Lived Life
What do you consider a well-lived life? Many of us will have different answers with, I trust, being a borned again, surrendered Christian serving the Lord Jesus with all our heart at the top of the list. For with God we are capable of doing all that He calls us to. And without Him at the end of life what else will really matter? For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36 But what else as a mom, wife, homemaker do you consider to be at the top of your list of important things? What do…
