At long last, the winner of the beautiful scripture art print giveaway from HopeInk. (Sorry y'all had to wait while I took a week vacation!) The winner is: Katie! Though the giveaway was actually for a Love Defined 12x12 print, Katie will actually be receiving the joy.pray.thanks. print instead because of this comment that was left in her winning entry.

We Are So Rich
**I've returned from a much needed week-long computer break and I'm glad to be back! We had a very blessed Christmas, rejoicing in our Savior's birth and enjoying special times with family. I'll post just a little bit this week and then be more back to normal posting by next week. I hope that you all had a wonderful holiday as well!** It's easy to complain about what we don't have isn't it? I often find that in the fall and winter, as the stores [...]

Almost-Christmas Ramblings
Just a few thoughts as I prepare to take a little time for celebration, relaxation and meditation this next week: 1) The picture you see above is Johanna's birth announcement.

I'm pretty sure they know. But still, it would be nice to actually get her photo [...]

Making Your Own Sprouted Grain Flour
Ever wonder how you can get around the need to soak the flour for baked goods, when you're baking something that just doesn't lend itself to soaking? Or what about when you're short on time and need to bake something to fill a need, but just don't have the time for soaking? Enter sprouted grain flour. I've noticed that there are now companies beginning to sell flour made of grain that has already been sprouted! What a fantastic idea! The only problem? It costs more [...]

Hope Ink Art Review and Giveaway
I loved the quote that my friend Sondra shared yesterday, "put something where you can see it so your eye will remind your heart". One of my next goals in decorating our home is to add more scripture. I want to have the Words of life all over our home, where we will constantly be reminded of God's eternal truths and brought back to what is most important... living a life that honors and glorifies Him! When Emily of Hope Ink Art asked if I [...]

How I Plan to Keep Blog Time in Check
Image by DeclanTM Based on my recent announcement that I'm going to be scaling back a little on my blogging efforts, and the absolutely enormous (and incredibly encouraging) response that I received, I thought I would just share a few thoughts on how I am working to keep blog work minimal while I continue to keep up my blog: Write shorter posts- If I notice that I post is getting too long and I can't finish it as I'd like to within the time that [...]
