We realize that in our recent theme change, we ended up with a front page that is quite the train wreck, but we hope most of the rest of the site works acceptably. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience as we transition from our old site to this one. We are ironing out the glitches as fast as we can! We’ve recently added the Everyday Cooking photo gallery, and we’re adding more posts, Vicki’s Favorites in the shop, an expanded homeschool section, and more! We hope you’ll find it worth the wait — please check back often!

In an earlier article, Finding the Gift in Your Child, I mentioned that when we were first considering home education, I was unsure about my own ability to meet my children’s needs. Not only did we have a daughter born with special medical and developmental needs, but I had two […]

Some days I’m hungry for that chicken pot pie flavor but may not want the crust for one reason or another (mostly because my husband is not a pie crust fan)….and this is a simple, one pot meal! It also makes enough to feed about eight people, so it’s a […]
Homeschooling isn’t always fun and games and giggles; sometimes it is just downright difficult—especially if the student isn’t particularly thrilled to be homeschooling. It is not our job as parents to make our children happy. It’s our job to raise them as God has called us to, even if it […]
