I’m in a process right now of changing a lot of things in my life. How I do daily life which includes so much, how I eat and what I feed my family, sleeping patterns, how I clean and when, how I respond to my kids, how I plan. Basically God has been really stretching […]

We made Whole Wheat Cinnamon rolls for Jazmin’s birthday. It is hard to believe that our neice Jazmin is already 12 years old! She is growing into quite the young lady. We are so glad you are our neice Jazmin and so glad that our kids have a cousin, they adore you! :)

This is the breakfast I make with the boys at least 3 or 4 times a week. I make a double batch and then freeze the leftovers, which is enough for the next day. We grind our own flour so they are really fresh and yummy, […]

Okay, I was just realizing that I am nuts. I just finished 3 batches of strawberry freezer jam. It is really simple and not extremely time consuming but as you can see it is one in the morning and I really need to get to bed! So what do I do? Blog about it at […]

Go to my homemaking blog for a great Whole Grain Muffin recipe! I got this recipe from my friend Jana and my family loved them! The only disappointment was that they only lasted a couple of hours and they went so fast that I didn’t even get a picture of them! Maybe next time! :)

I’m thinking about cloth diapering and I’m looking for any of you who have tried it and know what brands are best. I think the biggest thing I’m wondering about is how many to buy from the beginning.  So the brands I have seen myself are Fuzzi Bunz, but the more I look the more […]

Finally made some of Karen’s Whole Wheat BreadOriginally uploaded by Chris and Jenni.
This was the best whole wheat bread recipe I have tried yet! Thanks so much Karen for the inpiration! My husband and my boys really liked it, that is always so rewarding after making something from scratch. It can be a little discouraging […]

Just a little FYI-I made some changes to my Jenni on Homemaking blog. I added some categories and organized a bit, as well as adding some more recipes in the last couple months. Now that I have a much better way to categorize I will be adding more.

Okay, does everyone realize that Thanksgiving is in two days? That means that my husband only has to work one more day this week! Woo Hoo! I talked to my mom a couple nights ago and I am making a pumpkin pie, and I am bringing some of my apple butter to put on […]

Thanksgiving is in just a few days! I can’t believe the holidays are already here! We are going to Chris’ Aunt Janice’s the morning of Thanksgiving and helping with dinner and snacking on all kinds of goodies, but we wont eat dinner there, we will have dinner with my mom’s side of the family in […]

Just thought I would do a quick entry about what is for dinner this evening. I am making “Swamp Soup” also know as Split Pea and Ham Soup. It sounded so good on a cold autumn day with my family sick. I wanted to make something yummy, warm and nutrious. I am also […]
