It has been a while since I wrote here. Life gets so busy. Yesterday at work my husband fell down a set of stairs (about 6 ft up) PRAISE GOD he only suffered minor scrapes and scratches. He is a bit bruised also. But God was with him. I try not to dwell on the what could of happened. School has been going great so far. We are all starting to feel a bit of the winter blahs! But are being creative in trying to get over that. The temps here have been so crazy. Last week we had a day of 55 degrees. Today it is 20 degrees. We had on Tuesday and Wed. ice and sleet with freezing rain...then to snow. Yesterday and Today has been steady snow. I'm going to post some pictures tomorrow. The trees are covered with snow, my family and I love to drive down this little country road that runs along side a creek with trees on both sides. It is like a tunnel of snow. I am working really hard lately at organization. I want our home to be a place of santuary and refuge for my husband who works so hard to support our family. It is so easy to let things go when I'm tired at the end of the day. I've been working on teaching the kids to help me. Not an easy task. Yesterday for school we cleaned their rooms. I showed them how to clean and put things away. I call it "Clean the way I want it cleaned not you". Their way is "making a path through the room by pushing everything to the sides of the room". My Mom smiles because thats how I cleaned my room as a child....or at least she says so. Every week I am going to TRY and post a recipe for something that our family has enjoyed making in the past. We let each child pick a recipe...either they have found it online....or in one of our many cookbooks. Last week we made Milk Crackers, a lot like Round butter crackers. I don't remember where I got this recipe from. I've had it for years. ENJOY! Milk Crackers 2 Cups All purpose flour (or what ever you like) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup milk 1 Large Egg Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in the butter until it is very fine (I use my stand mixer with the wisk attachement). Add milk and egg. Mix together to form dough. Knead well roll thin. Cut into squares, rounds, or use special cookie cutters. Prick crackers with a fork. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
