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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Creating a simple filing system is easier than you may think. Here's how to easily organize your home office

Recipe for easy white chicken chili supreme with black beans, corn, veggies

Growing up, cornbread and chili was a staple. A pound of hamburger could feed a family with 6 kids thanks to all the beans. We may have ran each other out of the house and singed nose hairs once the beans “came calling” but we all loved chili! Oddly enough, it hasn’t been until recent years that I even heard of white chicken chili. But now, we almost prefer this easy white chicken chili over regular chili. Ever been in […]

Sometimes we find gluten substitutes like gluten free pasta, and sometimes we just do without it! These chipotle cinnamon sliders are fantastic and don’t even need bread. Serve them up on a leaf of lettuce and enjoy! Last month I found a recipe for chipotle cinnamon sliders and thought the combination sounded amazing. I tweaked the recipe a bit, cut way back on the cinnamon (did they really mean 2 tbs. for only a pound of meat?), and added a […]
