Hello all! I hope your weekend was restful and refreshing. Ours wasn’t exactly restful, but it was certainly wonderful! It’s back to cold weather here again, how wonderful is that? Not! At least my daffodils appear to be staying put and not freezing over. I do want them to bloom though! Please tell me I’m not the only one looking forward to spring blooms. 🙂 No post today, like I said, my weekend wasn’t exactly restful! However I do have […]
Gluten Free Pancakes and Flirty Kitchens – Say What?!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
There’s nothing quite like a stack of fresh pancakes with syrup drizzling down the sides! And these gluten free pancakes are so good you won’t even miss the wheat! When I was a child, our family was invited over for dinner at a neighbor’s place. After dinner we rode with them to collect buckets of sap from their sugar maples. Then we went to their garage and watched as the sap cooked down into syrup. Funny how memories fog up […]
Testing, Mocha Cakes, and the Living Proverbs 31 Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.Hello all! I hope today finds you all in good health. We’ve been blessed with very good health this winter. Hubby had a repository thing for 2 weeks which wasn’t any fun, but the boys and I have been very healthy since right after Christmas. Just Saturday the boys started in with runny noses again. Uh Oh. Time to dose them up on broth again! While we’ve mostly enjoyed good health, there’s one thing we haven’t enjoyed this winter and that’s […]
Easy White Chicken Chili Soup Supreme
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
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 […]
Look Into Their Eyes – Plus Living Proverbs 31 Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
As a mom I have a bad habit. When I’m scolding a child, or upset with the boys, I tend to look over their heads, or even have my eyes nearly shut as I scold/complain/give a command etc. But what I really need to do is look into their eyes. When you don’t look into a their eyes, a disconnect is happening. You can yell, scold, complain, whatever and you have no idea how it makes your child feel. Your child […]

Do you have an area of your house that you aren’t in love with but also aren’t sure how to fix it? I have several such areas. Sometimes I also just get bored with what I currently have.

Mom ran to Walmart […]
The Pavement Ends and Printables – The Living Proverbs 31 Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.Hey all! How’s it going? I cannot believe the weather here, as of today (Friday) it’s 60 plus degrees out and sunny! Odd for Feb. and while I love it, I’m also a little sad because at this point I’m not counting on any spring flowers. All the buds are already pushing and I doubt winter is over, so I guess the flowers are going to freeze. Oh well, we cannot have it all now can we? Once the babies […]

Empty, Glittery Reflections – The Living Proverbs 31 Linkup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Driving down to my mom’s one afternoon I noticed all these houses with windows totally lit up. They were shining and sparkly as the sun’s rays bounced off of them. They looked so pretty on the outside. But, they were empty, glittery reflections. Driving home I noticed those same houses. This time however, there were no empty glittery reflections, just cold dark panes. Here and there a house was lit from the inside and those windows shone with a warm […]
Hand/Heart String Art Valentines Gift Idea – You + Me
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
I recently created and hung a hand/heart string art creation in our room. When I was a child, my mom had these two string art sail boats that hung in the guest bedroom. Like Anne of Green Gables, I had a slight fascination with that room. It was always quiet and sort of mysterious in there. I would sneak in and look at the wall paper with the prints of gentlemen and ladies lounging under trees, strolling by the stream […]

A fun, small family party on Sunday and his birthday is on Monday. […]
Chipotle Cinnamon Sliders – A Fast and Easy GF Dinner Idea!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
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 […]

“Welcome to the Proverbs 31 Wife twitter feed! My mission is to encourage, uplift and bless all those I come in contact with.” I sent that message to new Twitter followers, asking what their mission is. Today I’m asking you, do you have a mission? Do you have a mission when you wake up in the morning? Is there a goal in mind that you strive to achieve every day? Is your life full of purpose and direction? I’ve thought (and wrote) […]
Recipe for Creamy Alfredo sauce with Chicken

I know I’ve mentioned my love for Italian meals here before. I’m pretty sure the cheese is more than half the reason we all love it though! Today I want to (re)share my recipe for Creamy Alfredo Sauce with Chicken. This is a recipe I shared way back in 2012. One of the first recipes I ever shared here come to think of it. Anyway, as all good recipes do, this one has changed a bit over the years and […]

Secret to Grandma’s Chicken Soup
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Chicken soup has long been touted as Grandma’s “cure-all” for sicknesses. Thing is, as a kid I was never impressed with the taste and the health benefits seemed nonexistent. A few years ago, I finally learned the secret to grandma’s chicken soup! Food for thought: When our grandmas were little girls, their mamas would make chicken soup with a whole chicken, bones and all. This broth would not only be delicious, it was also very nutrient dense. When I was a child, chicken […]

Were you to go to any store during the week after Christmas, you would see huge lines. Not at the checkouts, but at the service desk as people are busy returning gifts they didn’t want. Today I want to ask: Will you be returning Jesus? The greatest gift ever given was Jesus. An innocent baby, God in disguise. We welcome him with praises and singing, we rejoice as we learn that this baby will be our redeemer. We read stories […]
Nontoxic Pillow and Lounger – Brentwood Home Giveaway!
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
Disclaimer: Brentwood Home provided me with the nontoxic pillow and lounger found in the Kids Bundle free in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. For us, buying a new mattress or pillows has two HUGE drawbacks. Number one being the cost, and number two being the fact that most mattresses contain toxic glues and adhesives, along with fire retardants and more. Offgassing of these chemicals is a huge concern to me. Our […]
