July’s Monthly Menu (2015 Version)

So I know July has already begun, but the month wouldn't be complete without a new monthly menu for July!  This month, I've included a spontaneous meal (because I know we will be out and about but don't know where we'll be for dinner) as well as a "Make It Up As You Go" dinner, where I'll check out what I have around the house and make something from it.  If some of the recipes from this month's menu sound like something you'd like to try, just let me know and I'll send you the link.  Enjoy!

5 Valuable Resources for Tweens (and Their Parents!)

For two hours a day, I entered into the world of the "tween." Since Rapunzel turned eight, I've been slowly seeking out resources that would help her grow as a Christian, but it's been difficult to find Christian music, tv, and books that compare to what Disney and Nickelodeon have to offer for that age group…

Worst. Vacation. Ever. (Stepping Back to Find the Positive)

If I had to rate bad vacations over the course of my lifetime, I'd have to rate this one as #2 worst vacation ever. (#1 was a trip to the beach with my parents and step-brother that was just awful, but that's a story for another day.) On saying that though, my good holidays such as once staying in accommodation from Exceptional Villas definitely outweigh the bad ones. One of my favourite ever trips was our cruise. We saved up for ages and treated ourselves to one of those fly cruises, where you fly somewhere and take a cruise from…

Scripture Sunday: The Lord is Good

"The Lord is good to those who depend on Him, to those who search for Him." - Lamentations 3:25 God is good.  All the time.  And all the time.  God is good. Know what my favorite thing is about this verse?  It doesn't say, "The Lord is good to those who don't sin," "The Lord is good to the rich and famous," or "The Lord is good to those who never give into temptation." Whew.  I don't know about you, but that sure is a relief for me!  Because I sin.  And sometimes it seems like I am sinning all. the…
