Mar. 3, 2008 Neat Food Blog
I found Kelly the Kitchen Kop a couple of weeks ago. I have enjoy reading through her blog when I get the chance. I especially liked the this entry: Support From Your Spouse In The Kitchen. It was a wonderful testimony of how important it is to have your husband on board with your food changes.
My Wonderful Husband has been "on board" with our food conversion since the very beginning. He even shares some of my researched words of wisdom with his friends at work. I know that this is not always the norm.
I have several friends who's husbands cannot stand the changes they have made. That is a very difficult place to be. You struggle with what you feel in your heart is right for your family and your desire to respect and honor your spouse. I have no firm answer. I do encourage you to pray about it. Respect your husbands wishes if he does not want you to change the eating habits. If he is willing to make some changes, take those and be thankful. Look for options that are more to his tastes and still healthy. Take change slowly. This is very important.
God will bless your faithfulness. |

Nov. 16, 2007 What Do You Write About When You Have Something On Your Mind?
You would think that if you have something on your mind, you would have a lot to write about. Not so. I have so many things flying through my head that I am having trouble "nailing down" a thought. Maybe I should be carrying a hammer...
I thought I would share a photo of my new and improved (and almost completed) kitchen. We decided to take a little break from the painting. I had a home school meeting last night and a baking demonstration tomorrow. Not to mention a whole lot of crazy over the next few weeks (we call that the holiday season). After painting, we realized a little caulk is in order. After Christmas, we will resume the home improvement (downstairs, anyways). The bathroom needs to be finished, though. I do not think this family can last much longer without the master bath. Well, maybe not THIS FAMILY at least I cannot last much longer...
I am planning on a couple post segments on our Christmas decorating. We tend to get all the decorating done in one to two days. I have never taken photos of all the trees, though. We have about 10 trees. They are all artificial (we are not completely crazy). I am hoping to add another tree this year. If I do, that will be in the segments!
Well, obviously judging by this terribly long post about nothing, I found something to talk about. One more thing, this little fella came for a visit a couple of nights ago:
hate greatly dislike with a passion that! My Wonderful Husband smacked the thing off the ceiling and then "chased" him around with a flashlight. Then one of the children smashed it with a shoe. As you can see, he is squashed!

Nov. 4, 2007 The BAD is not so bad now!
Well, the good was very good and the ugly was still ugly, but the bad is not so bad! We have been working on a few projects this weekend. On Saturday morning we ran to the local home improvement store to purchase vinyl tile and a toilet to fix our master bathroom. While we were there, I thought it might be "fun" to paint the kitchen. My Wonderful Husband did not really need my help, the six year old was the "little helper man". So, we picked up the paint. Of course, we needed a heavy duty primer because in the future we want to paint all the trim.
As we were checking out, I gulped at the total. My Wonderful Husband said, "that is what you get when you start three projects." Well, it was only two, but who's counting! Do not worry, I added another project after we got home! We still had the children's bathroom to finish, so I had one of my darling daughters paint the trim and doors. You know me, why do just ONE project when you can do THREE!!
We arrived home and I assigned my eight year old and my twelve year old the task of painting over the wallpaper in the kitchen. They did a wonderful job. I did the high stuff and they did the low. Then we worked on the doors of the cabinet that my Wonderful Husband put up. I figured they were going to need several coats of primer so this was a good time to get started!
My darling 10 year old worked on the bathroom and painted the trim better than a professional! My Wonderful Husband did a load of prep work on the floors with the five and six year old. We finished at about 6:00pm and sat down to a nice, hot meal. I figured that the rest of the house was a wreck so we needed to sit down in a clean dinning room.
Today, we painted the yellow. My ten year old finished up stairs and then painted the trim in the kitchen. The other two were in charge of rolling. I did the trim that was too high. In the bathroom, the floor is almost ready to be primed. The project is taking a little longer than Wonderful Husband wanted it to, but he is doing such a good job! I have never enjoyed a home improvement project more than this one. I know it is because my children have be working with me! I love it!!
 See? It is starting to look better!
