Christmas is naturally a busy time of year for those who celebrate Christ’s birth. Parties, family gatherings, food, gifts, wrapping and more occupy our minds during this season. I tend to really get stressed about finding the perfect gift for each person and making my home comfortable for visitors. I wish I had the secret …
I cannot remember where I first saw this recipe. I’m sure someone posted it on Facebook or Pinterest or somewhere. I made these last year for my in-laws at Christmas and they loved them! I did some further research this year before making them and they came out even better. In case you haven’t seen …

The holiday season – from Thanksgiving through New Year’s – is a wonderful time to get together with family and loved ones. Lovely music, special programs, parties, great food and fellowship! However, for the hurting, the lonely or those who find themselves in the midst of a trial during this time of year, the Christmas …
Hello friends! Here’s the gift I made this year for our church ladies. Yes! I’m posting it the same year in which I made them! That’s progress, eh? 🙂 This simple little ornament turned out better than I’d hoped, which was a blessing. I’ve come to expect things to go wrong when I try to …
I needed a star of Bethlehem for my nativity scene on my Sunday School bulletin board. I was going to just color one from a coloring book, but then, inspiration struck!
