“A road like brown ribbon, a sky that is blue, A forest of green, with the sky peeping through. Asters, deep purple, a grasshopper’s call. Today it is summer, tomorrow is fall.” –Edwina Falls

1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake/ Mama’s Quicker Frosting

Tracy / September 20, 2010

“Birthday season” is upon us. This is my absolute favorite birthday cake recipe! It’s pretty generic and can be adapted by adding nuts, or changing the flavoring just a bit. I love Paula Deen’s recipes anyway, but this is one of her best! 1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 3…

Creating HOME- The Fall Wreath

Tracy / September 16, 2010

I love a Martha Stewart wreath I recently came across. When I saw Nester’s version, I knew I had to try this project! I bought twisted paper from Hobby Lobby (you will need 4 for $1 a piece), and floral staples (we needed two packages for this project). We used a wreath we found in the house. Jessica stripped it…

This morning, as I was seeking the Lord in my quiet time, He placed before me a quote that so touched the heart of my current struggle. Her gentle mothering reveals to the world God’s…

It has been a long, long week. Paul was away for a full seven days, home for one and gone for another four. His work is quite busy sometimes, but we’re happy to have work. I know there are many out there without jobs right now. Our little homestead is changing with the seasons, I think. We’re preparing to build…

The Recipe Box

Tracy / September 13, 2010

I don’t generally like recipes that call for a cake mix…something about making a homemade recipe with a box mix just seems wrong, LOL. These were really good, and *very* easy! They would be great as a “holiday” cookie. Gooey Butter Cookies (From Keeping Good Company) 1/2c butter 1/4t vanilla 1 egg 1 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese 1 (1 lb.…
