Early Spring Home Garden for Children

March 22, 2020 by Kendra 2 Comments

There is no better way to introduce the joy of growing things, and incidentally, get kids eating healthy than to get them involved with growing their food. Set aside a small garden plot, or prepare a container garden, and try this easy vegetable garden to share the joy of gardening with kids. By starting with a simple bed of salad greens, radishes and carrots, kids can see the seeds they planted sprout and grow and can harvest and prepare a […]

Be Not Weary in Motherhood

March 12, 2020 by Kendra 2 Comments

I tuck my babies in at night and my heart nearly bursts with love for them. They are amazing miracles of life and for some reason, God gave them to me. Right on the heels of this bursting-heart syndrome is an overwhelming realization that I am raising the future. My little boys, my sweet little boys will become men and what will these men be? The responsibility lays heavily on me. It burdens me down and there are days that […]

How to Have a Fresh Smelling Home without Toxins!

December 3, 2019 by Kendra 5 Comments

We all want a fresh-smelling home without toxins. But how?!? During the winter months, our homes often began to get a stale smell. And if all the ads are to be believed, now is when you need to run out and grab an air freshener stat! What advertisers DON’T tell you is that their fancy “smell-good” products are filled with fragrances that are anything but safe and natural. The fragrances release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which are linked to various […]

Just because a Product says “Probiotic”, is it really?

November 22, 2019 by Kendra 2 Comments

I’ve taken probiotics off and on for close to 20 years now. Some have worked better than others. Some didn’t work at all. Even the Plexus brand which many people love didn’t do much for me, and when pregnant I was miserably constipated. I started my whole journey to find a new (and better probiotic) a couple of months ago. What I found was amazing! I learned so much that I started sharing my findings on my Facebook page as […]

Hello! I did not forget my promise to post a home tour of our new (to us) home. We may have already lived here for a year, but it’s still hard to believe that after years of hard work and saving, we have our dream home! If you missed the story of how God brought everything together perfectly for us to buy this place, you may enjoy reading the story of how we found our dream home. According to county […]

Amazing Basement Closet Makeover on a Budget!

October 8, 2019 by Kendra 5 Comments

Our new home has plenty of quirks. Some are fun and some are annoying and some simply need to be fixed. The closet in our basement was one such quirk. Our basement is nice and could be finished. If you were under 5 ft tall that is. A closet was put in our basement at some point, it was deeper than a regular closet with no light other than what came in through a small casement window. Ultimately it was […]

Buying our Dream Home – When God Answers Prayers

August 2, 2019 by Kendra 10 Comments

Last summer we found and bought our dream home. Long-time readers may remember that we bought our first home in our early 20’s and may also remember how we had set a goal of paying that house off in 10 years. Okay, spoiler alert, we didn’t get our first home paid off in 10 years. We were on track to be paid off in just under 12 years. Last Fall we had 3 years left to pay off our house. […]

Which Reusable Straw is Best?

June 7, 2019 by Kendra 9 Comments

Glass, stainless, bamboo… So many choices, how do you know which reusable straw is best? Perhaps though, we start by looking at WHY you should be considering reusable straws. I’ve written a lot about stewardship here on the blog and I believe firmly in taking care of the blessings God has given us. Good stewardship goes FAR beyond simply managing money well. We are to be good stewards of ALL our blessings. Taking care of our body(health), family, friends, money, […]

The Power of Hope in the Darkness

April 11, 2019 by Kendra 10 Comments

Power of Hope in Darkness Have you ever considered the power of hope when you’re in the dark? Whether your current darkness is an illness, lost job, overwhelm from life, whatever, it’s likely that hope is the only thing keeping you going. I’m not going to sugarcoat the truth. I think most of us struggle with depression and darkness at least once in our lifetime. For some, the darkness is there more than the light, but you just hang on. […]

*Note: I am not a doctor and do not offer medical advice. Below I’m simply sharing information I found helpful and useful to myself and our family. What you do with this information is your responsibility. A couple of years ago Jason came home from work sick. I sent him straight to bed and shut the door, hoping that our boys and I would escape the stomach bug. I was trying to be optimistic. However, Jason and I easily get […]

February 13, 2019 by Kendra 3 Comments

Ever known the basics of something and then later stumble onto something that just takes that knowledge into a deeper and more complex understanding? It happens to me from time to time. My brain grasps the basics and moves on. Then suddenly, sometimes years later something pops up again and I “get it” in a more complete way. I think it’s likely that this is especially true for those who serve the Lord. I’ll explain why a little later. For […]

February 7, 2019 by Kendra 9 Comments

Have you ever been in a place where you just feel frustrated, maybe defeated, and possibly even a bit depressed? I’ve been there. Lately everything has just piled on top of me. Sometimes everything seems wrong It’s winter, and winter and my mood rarely get along well. My baby is nearly 5 months, still grumpy a lot of the time and still waking at least once in the night to eat. Each time he wakes I’m up with him 20 […]

October 4, 2018 by Kendra 20 Comments

Childbirth. A beautiful and terrible act. For pain and suffering to go hand in hand with bliss and rejoicing is nothing short of a miracle and that, of course, is exactly what birth is. We just welcomed our third son into the family and while I’ve not made time for blogging since the first of this year, writing is how I come to terms with things and so I’m writing again. Writing and sharing the birth story of our little […]

Pulled Pork Street Tacos

Delicious pulled pork street tacos

Food Trucks are a huge hit around here. They pop up at festivals, attend rally’s and cook offs, enter competitions and fill the bellies of those looking for unique dishes. I was introduced to pulled pork street tacos last summer at one such rally, and fell a bit in love! To clarify, I wanted pulled pork and figured the food truck I was waiting in line for could provide the meat I was craving. I planned to play it safe […]

All opinions are mine alone. #SummerIsForSavings #CollectiveBias #WFM1 Not much is worse than hearing a “sploosh” and looking over to see your phone going swimming. While the obvious answer is to simply keep the phone away from water, that’s easier said than done. Just a few months ago, I bought a new phone on my Walmart Family Mobile monthly plan. It was time for […]

What’s the Point in Taking Kids to Church?

June 7, 2017 by Kendra 9 Comments

What's the point in taking kids to church? Here's my reason!

Memorial day weekend was our annual church conference and with 2 small tykes in tow, there were multiple times my head just hung down and I wondered what’s the point in taking kids to church? In fact I wondered why I was even trying. Most of my time in church was spent hushing little ones and picking up the few toys we allow them to bring. Then picking up bookmarks and pens, because kids will make toys out of anything. […]

What Type Of Mom Am I?

May 13, 2017 by Kendra 6 Comments

Or rather, what type of mom would my boys say I am? I would like my kids to say I’m the fun loving mom who laughs when they get muddy, who gets on the floor and plays with them, who involves them in all that goes on. I am that mom… about 15% of the time. It’s likely they will say I’m the mom that rushes around busy working and pushing them aside so I can get done with that task […]

May 9, 2017 by Kendra 2 Comments

Spring and summer are my favorite times of year for cooking — or eating, at the very least! Colorful eggplant, juicy tomatoes, and bright berries from the garden are as delicious as they are nourishing. Everything tastes better fresh from the garden. And simple grilled or no-cook meals leave more time for sipping lemonade on the patio.   One thing that I don’t enjoy during the summer (or anytime for that matter), is shopping for household essentials. Who wants to run […]

How to touch up wall paint. Repair small holes, dents and dings without repainting an entire wall.

It’s inevitable. If you actually live in your house, your walls are going to get scratched, chipped, dinged and paint scuffed off. It’s been 7 years since we moved into this house with all it’s freshly painted walls so today I’m sharing how to touch up wall paint years after it was originally painted. Why just touch up? Well, I’m not that big a fan of painting so if I can patch and repair a few places before doing a […]
