September 30, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Floods occur more frequently than any other natural disaster in the U.S. Here are preparedness and safety tips in case you ever experience a flood.

I recently watched as many families in my area got trapped on roadways and/or saw water rush into their homes due to heavy rains from a tropical system. Like in other coastal areas, this is a somewhat frequent occurrence around here because we live in a flood-prone area. Those of us in these areas need to be proactive about preparing … [Read more...] about Dare to Prepare: Flood Preparedness and Safety

This dish is nutritious, affordable, and flavorful. As a bonus, this Stuffed Pepper Skillet is conveniently prepared in one pan.

I feel like a significant portion of my life as a wife and mom is spent trying to prepare nutritious and affordable meals that my husband and kids will actually eat.

It’s fall, y’all! Here are 22 things, including cooler temperatures and apple cider, that make the fall season fabulous.

I enjoy watching the seasons change. I love the order the seasons give our lives, the biblical truths of which they remind us, and the way each transition from one to the next feels like a new beginning. Though I’m typically excited when we change seasons, I’m often extra enthusiastic when we transition to fall. Maybe this is because I … [Read more...] about The Most Wonderful Things About Autumn

My oldest child is in kindergarten! We’re using a customized Timberdoodle curriculum kit and various supplementary materials as we homeschool her.

Can you believe that my oldest child is in kindergarten? It feels a bit surreal because I’m sure it was just yesterday that she was a baby! However, I’m now homeschooling a kindergartner and a preschooler while my 1-year-old keeps watch. My preschooler is using many of the same materials we used when my oldest was in preschool (see an … [Read more...] about Our 2019-2020 Kindergarten Curriculum

Wives can make suggestions and ask their husbands to complete tasks without nagging. Here’s how.

Nagging, which is repeatedly pestering someone to complete a task or act on some advice, isn’t a very pleasant or effective way to communicate. Last week I shared some ideas regarding why women, but not men, are seen as nags. I'm fascinated by the explanations that experts and laypeople have proposed.

This recipe yields healthy whole wheat bread that is soft, light, and flavorful. It is easy to prepare, so try some today!

I recently began making my own bread each week. Though I’ve made bread before, I’ve never made enough of it to eliminate the need for us to purchase some each time I grocery shop. One reason for this was lack of time. With three kids under age five, I don’t exactly have a lot of time for baking! The main reason, though, was that I hadn’t found … [Read more...] about Soft and Fluffy Honey Wheat Bread

September 5, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

These questions will help kids learn biographical information, family history details, life lessons, and practical skills from their grandparents.

A few years ago I wrote a post about the importance of grandparents. I noted in that post that grandparents have a wealth of knowledge that they can pass along to their grandkids and that they help connect grandkids to their history.
