What should I make for breakfast? I seem to be in a breakfast rut, lately, with toast and eggs. Suddenly, I knew how to break the rut - baking. I will make blueberry muffins. When I get tired of homemaking, I simply put more effort in, and then I get more out. My daughters' words of delight upon seeing the muffins was the payback.

New! Scripture Word Art Printable

New in the Shop

Do you like word art? I'm in love with adding scripture to my home. It's a great way to memorize God's word and be encouraged! You can use a:

frame - hang on a wall
clothes pin - clip to twine
magnet - on the fridge
tape - on the chalkboard

or even have it printed on canvas! When I looked through my Scripture Cards, I was encouraged by Hebrews 11: 1: -"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Here's how to use it.
