I absolutely loved being 7, and I love having a daughter who is 7!
Several weeks ago Beth moved out of the Sunday School class for the younger children in our church, into an all girls’ class for those who haven’t reached their teen years yet, but aren’t quite considered “little” anymore. (insert sniff sniff here!) [...]

Thursday Talkin’ About Teenagers – The Work Of Her Hands
My oldest daughter Daisy is becoming quite talented at repurposing items around our home. I had a denim skirt that I bought when I was hugely pregnant with LuLu, and after I got it home I realized the elastic waist was totally shot. A blessing for me at the time because my own waist was [...]

Life Lessons Learned The Hard Way

Homemade Flour Tortillas
We’ve used this recipe and over and over, and although the cooking process is quite time consuming (I can only do 2 at a time…boy do I want a big ole commercial grill topped stove! ) the time investment is well worth the outcome!
The last time I made them I figured out that everyone 7 [...]
