A Dinner Table Conversation

I love “family” meals.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to jump on the bandwagon of making my own laundry detergent. In fact, I wasn’t sure it would even save me money. Then I decided to do the research. The more I read, the more I realized that yes, it would be worth. But would it really work? Does it…
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, and with it landing on a Sunday, I thought it would be fun to create a little Valentine’s Day activity packet for your kids to do in church or while at home if you watch a livestream! I created one for Easter when COVID first hit, and I…
I was once heard it said that if you constantly can’t get it all done, well, then maybe you are trying to do more than what has been intended for you to do. That has really made me take a step back and think – I hope it does the same for you. Are you…
One word. Contentment. Desiring no more than what one has; satisfied. Philippians 4:11-13 says: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have…
In the Midwest, winter=staying home more often, doesn’t it? Do you find that in your life as well? But in a way, it’s maybe not all half bad! It is so easy to rush through life, going from this to that, leaving us to wonder where the time has gone? My goal in parenting is…
What are the things that bring you joy? What are the things that you do in a normal day that don’t bring you joy? For me, the things that bring me joy are the things I would choose to do on vacation – playing games, hanging out, and making a puzzle. Maybe add in there…

Also, I wouldn't trade the time we spend together doing these little projects for anything else I can think of. Good for you, sweet Kristin; and thank you for the encouragement.
Mary, you are SO right – it is WAY more satisfying to DIY than buy! One of the biggest my husband and I have tackled is redoing the complete inside of our fishing boat. It was a marriage tester I must say, but when we were finished, it is the thing we are most proud of. I love your perspective Mary and thank you for yet again, sharing your words of wisdom :)!
