November 30, 2020 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

A DIY tree skirt featuring your kids’ handprints is a fun and easy way to create a cute, memory-rich addition to your Christmas decorations.

My husband and I didn’t have a tree skirt for our Christmas tree for the first several years we were married. It wasn’t until our firstborn child was 2 years of age and our middle child was about 6 months of age that I decided what I wanted in a tree skirt. I decided to make a simple tree skirt out of felt on which we could chronicle … [Read more...] about DIY Tree Skirt with Kids’ Handprints

These waffles, teeming with the rich flavors of vanilla, buttermilk, cinnamon, and nutmeg, are a tasty way to start the day!

There are two breakfast foods that my kids absolutely love: muffins and waffles. About a year ago I made some Vanilla Buttermilk Spice Muffins that had a delightful taste. At the time, I thought that they would be a perfect treat to make during the fall months because they have the yummy flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. When I thought … [Read more...] about Vanilla Buttermilk Spice Waffles

Savory sausage and flavorful root veggies combine to make a scrumptious dinner in this nutritious, easy-to-prepare sheet pan dinner.

Sausage is one of the few foods that everyone in my household will eat. Vegetables, of course, are another story.

Ingredients (Significantly adapted from this … [Read more...] about Sausage and Root Vegetable Sheet Pan Dinner

Why Gratitude Isn’t a Panacea During Tough Times

November 12, 2020 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

Gratitude is a good, biblical practice, but it isn’t a magic cure-all when times are tough. Here’s why.

When many of us plan for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, we envision large gatherings around the dinner table and loved ones sprawled out in the living room opening gifts. Unfortunately, things will look different for many of us this year. The risk of spreading COVID will lead many of us to choose smaller gatherings or perhaps even no … [Read more...] about Why Gratitude Isn’t a Panacea During Tough Times

Build-Your-Own Sliders: A Great Meal for a Crowd

November 9, 2020 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

A slider bar is a fun and easy way to feed a large group! Each guest can customize sliders with as many or as few toppings as he or she wants.

One of the challenges of having guests over is preparing meals that everyone will enjoy. One thing I like to do is to prepare options where each individual gets to customize his or her meal. I’ve done this in the past with French bread pizzas and with omelets. Recently, when my parents visited us, I did it with sliders. As most of you … [Read more...] about Build-Your-Own Sliders: A Great Meal for a Crowd

What Does God’s Peace Look Like?

November 2, 2020 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

What does peace look like? Friendly relationships? Calm weather? Relaxing activities? These may characterize the world’s peace, but God’s peace looks different.

In order to prepare my heart for the Thanksgiving holiday, I usually begin each November with a post on the topic of gratitude. However, to be honest, I’m not thinking about gratitude that much today. I’m quite distracted with thoughts of the election (which is tomorrow) and with the deep divisions that characterize our nation right now. … [Read more...] about What Does God’s Peace Look Like?
