What to Do When Your Spouse is a Picky Eater

October 24, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

It’s frustrating when your spouse will only eat a few foods. Here are some gentle ways to encourage him to eat a wider variety of foods.

I love experimenting with recipes and trying new foods, but my husband doesn’t. He likes a few foods, and he’d be content eating these same foods over and over again. For example, as far as veggies are concerned, he likes corn. He’ll tolerate green beans. That’s it. He doesn’t like carrots or peas. He won’t touch cauliflower or sweet potato. … [Read more...] about What to Do When Your Spouse is a Picky Eater

Topped with vanilla glaze, whipped cream, and sprinkles, these homemade Birthday Cake Pancakes will get your kid’s birthday off to a special start!

The oldest of my three daughters had her fifth birthday earlier this month! She loves sprinkles, so I decided to make Birthday Cake Pancakes for breakfast as part of our celebration.

It’s alarming to find weevils in your food, but they’re easy enough to get rid of. Try these simple steps to rid your pantry of irritating weevils.

I’ve had a number of unpleasant experiences over the last few years that have ended up inspiring blog posts. For example, after my daughters and I contracted it, I wrote a post on easing the symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease. Likewise, after experiencing complications during the delivery of my third child, I wrote about including “just … [Read more...] about How to Get Rid of Weevils in Your Pantry

Check On Your Friends

October 14, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Simply checking on our friends makes a huge difference in their lives! It’s a simple way to provide some of the support we all desperately need.

A few days ago I received a simple text message from a friend. She stated that I had come to her mind earlier in the day and she wanted to see how I was doing. There wasn’t anything extraordinary about this message, but it really meant something to me. I was doing fine—my day had not been anything out of the ordinary—but I felt cared for and … [Read more...] about Check On Your Friends

Omelets are a popular dish that most individuals enjoy. They’re also easy to prepare and affordable, making them a great option when serving a crowd!

When you’re feeding a large group of people, it’s sometimes difficult to accommodate each individual’s taste preferences. A great way to do this is to make customizable dishes, such as French bread pizzas or burrito bowls. Thankfully, there are numerous customizable dishes available, including omelets. We chose to make these when we had … [Read more...] about Personalized Omelets: A Great Meal for a Crowd

Using Fall Decor to Promote Gratitude

If you’re going to decorate for fall, then why not use items that inspire gratitude? From banners to towels, here are some gratitude-inspiring items.

Some individuals really have a knack for home decorating, but I’m not one of them. I don’t have a lot of time, money, or talent to put into decorating, so I focus a lot more on function than form. However, I’m keenly aware that the appearance of my home impacts the atmosphere in my home. I want the atmosphere in my home to be warm and peaceful … [Read more...] about Using Fall Decor to Promote Gratitude

October 2019 Dinner Menu

October 3, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

What’s for dinner in my house during October 2019? Menu items include skillet shepherd’s pie, cider-glazed chicken, and meatloaf with mashed potatoes.

It’s been a while since I shared a menu on Of The Hearth. I used to plan a month’s worth of meals each season (fall, winter, spring, and summer) and we’d use each of these menus for three consecutive months before moving on to a new menu (you can read details on how I did this here and see many of the menus here). I stopped using that … [Read more...] about October 2019 Dinner Menu

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
