Homemaking Tip for this week:
Wash greasy dishes and pans in a snap...just add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the hot soapy dishwater.

Lesson learned the past few days:
That sometimes you need to make the best decision for yourself and your children irregardless of whether you think others will approve.
When the school nurse called me last week to pick up the kids on a thursday, I knew that I should keep them home with me on friday too but I couldn't help but feel bad that they would be missing another day of school. But I had to do what was right for my children and to make them better, they NEEDED to be home and taken care of. I'm glad I followed my heart.
On my Prayer List:
My husband
Troops overseas and at home
My children
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?
~ II Samuel 22:32 ~
Have a great week. I love that picture of Jasmine with the dog. I look forward to hearing about the garlic wings recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding recipes....as much asI love to cook I always feel like I am making the same thing. ugh :(
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and you have inspired me to start my own blog. I hope you will come visit me. Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picture. I too think that sometimes we have to make our own choices and not listen to "good advice". God put us over our homes.
