Almost Amish by Nancy Sleeth 5 Stars Yep, this is another book that I really did love to read - it was very well written and although our family does a lot of what she said in the book - there is oh, so much more that we could do. I love that the Sleeth family is living what they preach - their lifestyle and the way it is written makes me want to do more to keep life simple! Have you ever stopped to think, Maybe the Amish are on to something? Look around. We tweet while we drive, we talk while we text, and we surf the Internet until we fall asleep. We are essentially plugged in and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Rather than mastering technology, we have allowed technology to master us. We are an exhausted nation. No one has enough time, everyone feels stressed out…..  This book has common-sense steps to living a slower paced life. It looks at the need for caring for the environment and being stewards of the land and your home. Take time to make

Don't Forget About God's Love on Valentines Day..... ~ God’s Valentine Gift ~   God’s Valentine gift of love to us Was not a bunch of flowers; It wasn’t candy, or a book To while away the hours. His gift was to become a man, So He could freely give His sacrificial love for us, So you and I could live. He gave us sweet salvation, and Instruction, good and true-- To love our friends and enemies And love our Savior, too. So as we give our Valentines, Let’s thank our Lord and King; The reason we have love to give Is that He gave everything. - By Joanna Fuchs

Aren’t all vitamins the same?                               Why can’t I just get the cheap ones?                                  Don’t they all do the same thing?   These are all very good questions ..... keep reading for the answers! There is such a huge difference between buying a synthetic vitamin and a whole-food vitamin . The biggest difference is the way you feel. There IS a reason that people say they don’t feel any different when they take vitamins. This is because usually the vitamin they are taking is synthetic and potentially toxic to the body. The live enzyme in the synthetic vitamin never existed , therefore your body does not benefit from the vitamin and you are throwing away your hard earned money! The Three Types of Vitamins:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  1.

Many people use Shaklee Classic Basic H (including us) as a natural way to de-worm their livestock - we currently use it for our cows, Nigerian dwarf dairy goats and LGD.  Here is what is recommended for worming - 1. Measure out Classic Basic H for the animal you are trying help eliminate worms. For cows, use 1 cup per 100 gallons of water or 1/8 cup per 20 gallons of water. For smaller animals like goats and sheep the dosage needs to be smaller. Measure out 6cc. or use 2 drops per 10# of animal weight. Some people do this for 3-7 days, others do it as a one time only treatment. 2. Mix the Classic Basic H with water. For large animals the cleaner can be added to the water trough. For smaller animals, mix the 6 cc with 8 oz. water. Place the mixture in a turkey baster and give to the animal. (We use 2 drops per 10# of animal weight.) For example: A 40 lb. goat would get 8 drops of Classic Basic H added to the drinking water once every 4 months. Note: at first some o

Review: 4 Stars No Marriage is ever perfect. None. (But, thank the good Lord - mine is very close!) Now that we got that outta the way, let me say:   'Happily Ever After: Six Secrets to a Successful Marriage' by Gary Chapman is a thorough and realistic book. Dr. Chapman is upfront and open, using scripture, real life stories and good counseling advice, bringing to light the issues that come up most often in marriages, - including money, in-laws, kids & yes, sex! Dr. Chapman addresses the six most common problems that couples experience in their marriage which include fighting fair & negotiating, managing money, raising kids, a healthy sex life, and getting along with in-laws....... something I still have a need of improvement on! Each chapter ends with "assignments" and discussion questions which will help you to dig deeper into the book, to work on that particular problem, whether together with your spouse or independently. The book also de

"Encourage one another and build each other up." -  1 Thessalonians 5:11  In today's fast paced society and advanced technology - there's something extra special about receiving an unexpected handwritten card in the mail! It's one of the most welcomed form of communication, and speaks right to a persons heart.  Cards are loved by all ages - it can make the elderly feel appreciated, the lonely feel loved, the stay-at-home mom feel that she's not forgotten, the single that their not alone, the teenager that their important. A card can bring a brighter day to the sick and injured, and a smile to the tired soldier.  Send a thank-you card to a pastor, teacher, or babysitter. A card is a reminder of love. It can bring hope and joy - send someone a card, 'just because'! I was excited to be picked by (In)Courage to receive a Simply Marvelous 10 pack and a Simply Marvelous thank you 3 pack from Dayspring. They also sent me a card org
