I mentioned beef stroganoff in my post about price comparisons and a friend asked for the recipe. Since it’s been a while since we posted a recipe I’ll share it here. I just created this recipe on the spur of the moment. This is an easy [...]

Tip of the day:
If you’re going much further south than San Antonio, you might want to reconsider driving a white 15 passenger van with darkly tinted windows. Hubby and I were joking about this when we headed down a few days ago, but nothing exciting happened. Obviously a suspicious van heading south is not [...]

Traditionally it has been limited federal government based on a strong view of the Constitution and States rights. In other words decentralization along with more personal freedom. If I am correct then there is only one conservative running in the primaries and it ain’t Mike Huckabee.
Cal Thomas agrees with me so does Chuck Baldwin.
Don’t [...]

Many people like to ask the “what if” questions about hard situations when it comes to abortion. Here’s a mother who chose life - the life of her baby. This woman didn’t waver in her day of adversity.
If you faint in the day of adversity,
Your strength is small. Proverbs 24:10

Yesterday, we took a day off of Saxon math to calculate the cost of a few of our favorite meals. Don’t be fooled by the fact that our household is mostly small and female. We are hearty eaters (a mother of 4 teenage boys told me so), and most of the main dish numbers [...]

I don’t know about you, but the cost of food in our area seems to have risen 25-30% in the last year. I think my children will be happy about that today because they’re going to get a day off from Saxon Math.
Instead of the textbooks, today we’ll be figuring the cost of our [...]

I heard the baby’s heartbeat again yesterday. Without the proper context, you probably don’t realize just how much it meant to me.
For the last several days, I had a foreboding feeling about this pregnancy. I haven’t felt much movement, but I did think I was feeling small occasional kicks and gentle, indistinct movement. [...]

Here are a few riddles from a book called: One Thousand Poems For Children.
1. First they dress green,
Then they change brown;
and some will even wear
A red or golden gown!
2. From house to house he goes
A messenger small but slight;
And whether it rains or snows
He sleeps outside in the night
3. Riddle-me, riddle-me, riddle-me-ree,
Perhaps you can tell [...]

Cal Thomas’ “conservative” credentials are pretty well established by now. His opinion bears considering. If you are considering a vote of Gov. Huckabee in your state’s primary I urge you to consider the Governor’s big government voting record.
Mr. Thomas isn’t the only one who sees it.

Dr. Seuss like you’ve never heard him before. This came from an interview published in an Arizona magazine in June 1981:
…They think I did it in twenty minutes. That d — ned Cat in the Hat took nine months until I was satisfied. I did it for a textbook house and they sent me a [...]

I guess you know you’re a large family when 18 quarts just isn’t enough.
My Very Brilliant Daughter finally solved a longterm dilemma for me. We have an 18 quart electric roaster that we use quite often, but it would be even more useful if we could cook in layers. To do this, we [...]
