Food is such an integral part of our lives and of our culture that, especially as women, our cooking becomes an extension of who we are, sometimes even to the point we are known by the things we cook. Surely you’ve heard something like this, or even said something like it yourself. Oh, […]
(I’ve had so many people ask how I built the gossamer tree. I’ve added some detailed instructions at the very end of this post if you’re interested…) We survived! Kids’ Day 2012 is behind us and now I’m busy trying to catch up on all the housework I’ve been neglecting for weeks, even while I’m […]
A quill pen has a special way of transporting a writer to the past. Grip the quill, dip into an inkwell, start making long, curvy strokes across a piece of paper, and suddenly you’re a young Revolutionary War soldier writing a hasty letter home, or you’re Thomas Jefferson agonizing over just the right words for […]

There just hasn’t been time or energy enough for blogging lately. I hate that, but what’s a girl to do? I spent weeks preparing for Christmas and then weeks more recovering from it and blogging has fallen by the wayside. Oh, to have the ability to do it all! What a joy it would be […]

Space never really interested me. I mean, I thought stars were pretty and all that, but I always viewed space as this vast black nothingness. And what’s so interesting about nothingness? But then I began studying it, both in our homeschool and in preparation for a kids’ event at our church. I was blown away, […]

Funny, isn’t it, how so many of our fondest memories are somehow tied to food? I will probably always associate shuck beans with family get-togethers and Pappaw’s house in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky. These little delicacies were no doubt absent from the table more often than I remember, but I can hardly think of […]

There are few things so gratifying to a homemaker as conquering a problem spot in her home. Like when I finally clear away all the paper clutter on the kitchen counter. It happens about once every three months and lasts for about five minutes at a time, but, boy, do I feel empowered for […]

I don’t know how the weather’s been in your neck of the woods, but here in the Bluegrass is has been HOT! We’ve had several 90+ degree days already with seething humidity. In these parts, that kind of heat is usually reserved for late July and August, but after a cold and snowier-than-usual winter, […]
My recipe for real, down-home, simmer all day, Kentucky-style soup beans - made for vegans of course. Just add cornbread :)
Kentucky is a state of lush hills, forests, and mountains. Its beautiful landscape is enhanced by its distinctive blue-hued grass, the namesake for bluegrass music. Step out of the countryside and take some time to explore the state's historical and cultural landmarks in this colorful calendar. From Bowling Green and Paducah to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail in Louisville, Kentucky has something for everyone! Now 100% free of plastic and completely recyclable, this newly re-designed square wall calendar is an even better way to bring colorful designs into your home or as a gift for your favorite person. The new and improved 12" x 12" calendar is bound in a distinctive wrap-around cover made of an even heavier-duty stock paper than before which won't smear like other glossy paper calendars. This protective packaging surpasses plastic wrap while being far friendlier to the planet. A special coating on the cover adds durability for that extra touch of premium quality. Printed on thick, matte paper which is ideal for writing. All of this opens to a tall, 24-inch calendar to grace your wall. Dated January to December, it also includes a bonus, four-month mini calendar page of September to December of the previous year to get a jump start on planning. Monthly grids allow ample space for writing daily tasks and appointments, and includes all major U.S. and worldwide holidays. You can purchase with the reassurance that all components are recyclable.
Well, officially been living in my new apartment for over 6 months now. Time really does fly. Sadly it's taken me almost 6 months to start feeling at home/putting work into the place. I can't be the only one that feels like that though, right? While I do love living in an old cotton mill
I love food. Food makes me happy. Serving food to happy people makes me happy. So wouldn't you know, we went out and had five children and none of them have the same taste in food.
There was nothing wrong with my kitchen table per se. It was still sturdy, fairly attractive, and entirely functional. There was just one problem. I was SICK of it! It was the color mostly, I suppose. I’ve had the same table and chairs for 16 years, since just before my hubby and I tied the […]
It had been another one of those nightmarish services when I wondered why on earth I had even bothered to come to church. Not that the service itself was bad. It was probably very good, though I honestly couldn’t have told you either way because I had spent 90% of it trekking back and […]
