This week, I just felt off. I don’t know what it was, but I was not playing my A-Game. I tried my hand at baking, and it was just not to be. My yeast would not activate for the pretzel rolls I so desperately was craving. I tried two separate packets, and neither one took.…

This week, we spent a lot of time in the kitchen and on park adventures. Tuesday night was calzone night, and I have not made pizza dough in years, so I went to my pal Amy’s site, A Farmish Kind of Life, and found her recipe for dough. This crust was so delicious, and the…

I’ve been doing some thinking this week – about this blog and life in general. When I started this blog last fall, I decided to write about my life as a conservative stay-at-home mum and my family’s journey to liberty & freedom. I like to think I’ve stayed on that track, although it has been…

I wrote last fall about my weekly routine, and how much I reveled in it. Well, this past year, I’ve felt off, and it is because I did not have that sense of routine. Yes, I kept up with my Monday laundry days, but that was it. It is extremely difficult to set a routine…

Is it just me, or is the skill of basic human conversation severely lacking lately? I mean, you just cannot have a civil conversation with another person, without it getting political, hostile, or turning into a monologue. Over the past few years, I have noticed that people on various sides of the spectrum (religious v…

Well, it was a busy couple of weeks. Little Man and I drove down to Illinois to visit my parents for a week or so, and it turned into three weeks. We spent the majority of our time at the lake. We went on so many adventures: Trail Rides, Walks, Hikes at local parks (one…

Grief is strange. Everyone grieves differently, and it is so difficult to see why one person may completely break down when they heard of a death, while one standing right next to them keeps on, calm and quiet. In my family, we have always been very open about death. From an early age, I was…
