On My quest to be as  frugal as possible, I have been in the  process of trying to find recipes that my family will love but are also very inexpensive. I have been making my own yougert  for a few weeks.  But, there is  just something about yogurt.... YOU NEED GRANOLA! Well, we do anyway... I found a great recipe from a friend of mine at  Little Natural Cottage . Kristy has written and published a great ebook called: The Cottage Mama Plans her Menu . In it I found this great Vanilla Spice Granola recipe. It was simple and easy to make. Just cooking it in the oven made me so hungry to try it.  It made the house smell so good... we were just eyeing the timer on the oven. Once I took it out of the oven, my girls ran into the kitchen and began devouring it! Never mind that it was still pretty hot!   Kristy, thank you for a great recipe! I just love her ebook, she has a two week menu planned  with a shopping list for each week! Which for busy mama's makes it a great resource! If you are

Love's Sacred Song By Mesu Andrews *This book was given to me to read and review by Revell a division of Baker Publishing Group.  The opinions are mine.* Wisdom came as God's gift, but sacred love was forged through passion's fire Standing in the shadow of his famous father, young King Solomon wavers between fear and bravado, longing for a love that is true and pure--a love that can be his cornerstone. A shepherdess in the northern city of Shunem, Arielah has known since she first laid eyes on Solomon that it was her destiny to become his bride. When her father secures a promise from Solomon to marry Arielah as a treaty bride to help unite the kingdom, it seems her dreams will come true. But how can this simple shepherdess live as part of Solomon's harem? Can Solomon set aside his distractions to give himself completely to just one woman? Or will he let duty, deception, and the daily routine divide his heart? Mesu Andrews expertly weaves the words of the Song of Solomon

I love Blog Hops! Welcome to Homeschooling Adventures! I have been so busy lately that I don't know where to start! This week we are at my parents house waiting for my truck to  get fixed. You know your a homeschooling when you  pack up all the materials needed and  head to visit family. We walked in to my parents house and my mother began laughing...  She said " Did you bring enough with you" "Yap, all the school books we need for the  next few days!" The best part: The girls work better and faster here than at home! Wonder why? Anyway,  I do hope and pray that my truck will get fixed and  we can head home soon... Have a great day everyone!

   Sarai by Jill Eileen Smith This book was given to me to read and review by Revell.  The opinion are mine and mine alone. This is the first in the Wives of Patriarchs Sersies. This is a fictional story about the Biblical Character of Sarai and Abram. I enjoyed the story.  It gave a real vivid history of the life style of that time frame.  At first I did not know what to make of what I was reading, so I did a little digging into the history of that time... I am glad I did!  Another Great book from Jill Eileen Smith. I can't wait until  Jill's next book. He promised her his heart. She promised him a son. But how long must they wait? When Abram finally requests the hand of his beautiful half sister Sarai, she asks one thing--that he promise never to take another wife as long as she lives. Even Sarai's father thinks the demand is restrictive and agrees to the union only if she makes a promise in return--to give Abram a son and heir. Certain she can easily do that, Sarai agree

It's that time of year again... It's when I start to look into buying next years curriculum. I know that this is only March, but I love to get great deals on used and new curriculum alike. But, I always have a problem.... I always question....  Is this going to be the "right" choice for the girls. How do I know that I am choosing the right curriculum for them. Well.... I don't! I have had some hits and misses along the way, but there are some things that I have learned along the way. 1.     Will they be bored? Yes, this is the first thing I ask myself.  I don't want them to be learning/ reading something that will have them bored to tears!   Now, there is nothing I can do about Math and Language Arts.   They have to know how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc... They have to know how to use proper English...  But...  I can make sure that History and Science are fun and interesting! 2.   What Do They want to learn about next year? I always want to know wha

This is the second book in the Midwives Series.  I was pleasantly pleased with this novel. Book two follows Phoebe Lee, Tabitha's apprentice from Lady in the Mist (book one of the Midwives Series.). Phoebe is summoned by her sister in law.  Unknown to Phoebe, she is about to  be taken on a ride of her life.  Belinda, (the sis in law) wants Phoebe to help her save her husband from an England prison.  When Phoebe does not go willingly, she finds her self aboard a ship anyway headed for England. Heart's Safe Passage is a novel filled with (for a better lack of word) action! The voyage tests Phoebe's medical knowledge, her patience, and her faith! This is another must read book for all you book lovers out there. Check out it out  HERE! “Available February 2012 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.”
