Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

Projects in the Off Season!

 Winter is too cold to garden here... except growing sprouts, some micro greens and starting some seeds...


So I need a few projects to keep busy! Finished Jon's jean quilt - he loves it!




I've been doing a little canning- beef, turkey, bone broth, cranberry juice, and I tried some carrots for the first time. Luke liked the carrots, but they were a bit soft for me - so my cooking brain worked on it a couple of weeks and...

A purple sweet potato- looks strange and tastes great BTW!

decided to put together a recipe for my own version of cream of carrot soup - turned out so well! I used one pint of my home canned carrots, including the liquid, some of my home made onion powder, some of my homemade garlic butter, some lovely curry powder (no, not home grown)- blended together and added some white sauce instead of cream- then topped with a sprinkle of my own dried parsley - so, so GOOD! We will definitely be making this again!

I am so blessed to have so many projects to keep me going.
