Soaked Baked Oatmeal {Recipe}

2012-01-27T11:39:00.000-06:00

After finding this recipe for Baked Oatmeal a few weeks ago I've been making soaked baked oatmeal for breakfast - we love it! I searched for several recipes, mixed them up a bunch, removed ingredients and found which combination we like best. I really like how soaking the oats before preparation makes them easier to digest and helps your body better absorb the oatmeal’s nutrients. This

My Reading List 2012

2011-12-29T11:14:00.000-06:00

I love to read but this last year I sure didn't do enough reading. : ( So, for 2012 I've made a list of 24 books to read (2 per month) and I'm going to try to get through them all! : ) I went through our bookshelves and found 24 books that I haven't read yet - surprisingly, it was hard to find that many! We'll be having our baby in March so I don't know if I'll be able to read as much, more or

Book Review - For Men Only

2011-12-16T16:52:00.000-06:00

I know that almost/all my readers are women but this book was just so good! It's not necessarily "For Men Only" as in many ways this book would help a woman compare and understand how her husband takes the things she does and says. I have asked my husband (Daniel) if he'd write a review of this book - since it is written for men. : ) For Men Only By: Shaunti Feldhahn Format:

~ Potato Cheese Soup ~

2011-12-14T11:20:00.000-06:00

One of the hardest things I've found about cooking for 2 is following recipes correctly! For years I've be so used to doubling or tripling recipes that my mind just does it automatically, especially with recipes that I've made so many times before! One recent time while I was making this yummy soup I accidentally doubled the milk (only the milk) in the end - not a great idea. :) It ended

I have long hair recently I cut it to my waist but before that it's been about 10" below my waist for years. I'm really bad at just keeping my hair back in a braid e v e r y d a y.

Cloth Diaper Question

2011-11-18T12:37:00.000-06:00

~ Fall Colors ~ I have a cloth diaper question and was hoping I could get some ideas from any of you who have used cloth diapers... I've been using cloth diapers for the last 15 months on my son, and so far have been really happy with it.

I just made these for my mother-in-law (for her birthday) using this tutorial! They were so fun, easy and I loved how they turned out! The tutorial was great too - though I didn't use it for much more than just the downloadable pattern as these are so easy to make. I made this one first as a test one. :) I already have used it a good bit! Here's another tutorial I'm hoping to make soon.

Dragonfly Soaps! I love these soaps! Made with pure ingredients these soaps leave your skin feeling clean and moisturized! For this review I chose to try the Mango Rose & Tangerine Moisturizer Bars.

A Cloth Diaper Review - itti bitti

2011-08-18T11:41:00.000-05:00

Awhile ago I was sent a itti bitti diaper to review. The one I got was the Bitti D'lish AIO medium sized. I liked it but I should have requested a larger size for my *big* little guy. : ) This diaper took a bit longer to dry but was a quick and easy diaper to put on and use. It washed wonderfully and fit perfectly on my baby. I was surprised that such a tiny diaper worked so well without

Comfort from the Scriptures

Last night I was up for a few hours with my little guy teething. I was discouraged and tired - honestly I didn't want to do it, I wanted to go back to sleep until morning. :) For awhile I didn't do anything except rock him and give him some teething homeopathic remedy to help relieve his pain. I then got my phone out and started reading the Bible on it. First I read Proverbs 31, then

A little while back I was looking for a new recipe and ran across this one. I tried it and it was such a success!I'm so happy - it's perfect! My
