Meal Time Saving Tip

I am sure most of you have a plan in place. One thing that I do for week day stress free family meal time is cook a pot of rice, spaghetti noodles and beans on Sunday; and, then I add the pre-cooked Tyson chicken breast or strips. I also keep salad fixings on hand as well. Having these various items already prepared lessens the time spent in the kitchen and allows me to have more family time. 

The Faith of a Child

I have to admit my embarrassment regarding my lack of faith.  My 7 year old daughter and I planted flowers and the next day we came home and she said that they had stated to sprout.  Well, the smart, all knowing adult that I am told her not possible. It is too soon for that to happen. Now, she on the other hand, prayed that they would start sprouting and blooming as soon as possible.  I woke up Sunday morning and sure enough, the flowers were indeed sprouting. I could not believe it. I sat on the patio in amazement and disbelief.  I say I have faith; however, do I really have the kind of faith that I say I do.  Children can teach adults much about faith. Their belief in Santa, Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy, all stem from faith. This faith is taught by us the parents to give the kiddos hope; yet, when we are actually faced with the situations that test faith we fail. So the question is as adults, do we FEEL or BELIEVE.

Summer Plans

I seem to never be ready for the hot summer activities.

Wet swim suits and towels, longer days, restricted family time.
