Valentines Day

a sneak peek at the cakes
Above is a sneak peek at some of the cakes that were baked for our annual Valentines/Birthday party. There was actually 18 heart shaped cakes and dozens of cupcakes! :) We had choices of vanilla, chocolate and red velvet.

The Open House Party started at 10:30 am with the arrival of one of my bestest buddies, Shanna and her 7 children. She made a massive amount of pancakes!!! We spent a good hour visiting, and had a blast talking about our upcoming gardens this year, and our journey to self sufficiency.

Abigail the only girl in Shanna family!




Daddy made sure he got his girls some roses and another bouquet of beautiful flowers. To help with the celebration.

The lunch part of our day consisted of little heart shaped ham and cheese, turkey and cheese sandwiches, tomato soup, turkey soup, and pizza muffins.

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.
