The Simple Woman’s Daybook: Visiting

Posted By Jacque on March 10, 2010 | Category: Carnivals and Memes, Heart and Home, Living Learning Moments, A Dixon Home Education, Me Myself

FOR TODAY, March 9, 2010… from Jacque’s Daybook

Outside my window… a nice day. It is a whopping 60′. I am surprised it is not sunny. It has been for the past 2 days. The daffodils, Narcissus and other green should be breaking the earth any time. The bluebells, as we like to call them, have already.

I am thinking… about how we need to pick up and sweep this floor!

I am thankful for… Believers I meet daily that encourage us in our lives and following Yah and his plans for us. What a blessing we do not expect or deserve!

From the Learning RoomsHome and School Plan 2010. The boys and Hannah have been helping Daddy around the house a lot lately.

From the kitchen… chicken I put into the crock pot last evening ans potatoes and veggies Rachel has added. We are eating our big meal in the afternoon now.

I am wearing… a multi-colored red long cotton skirt and my fave sage green “Stress Relief” gardening emblem shirt that Amanda picked out for me from Tractor Supply.

I am creating… a store for some new things we are working on here, as well as to advertise for our friend at Dixie Cajuns’ Creations.

I am going… to the grocery again this week. Last week went so well. Rachel and I took Samuel, and he did so well. Today LucyLillie is going too.

I am currently reading… The Scriptures and King of the Jews by D. Thomas Lancaster.

I am hoping… my trip to the grocery will go as smoothly as last week.

I am hearing…. Psalm 5 by David Nevue, from my Playlist and Samuel, as he sleeps in my arms.

On my mind…. Amanda.

Noticing that… actually, realizing that… the printer is out of ink. So, I will need to see if I can borrow Amanda’s iTouch for the list.

Around the house… moving sale; stuff; children playing outside in warm weather finally!; happy babies. :) bliss!

One of my favorite things… Visiting. We had a great time visiting with my mom and Grandma last week.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Marking prices of our things to sell, getting everything that isn’t going with us down to the garage or to a mission of some sort to just giveaway.

A picture to share:.. bonnie doons
My mother, Grandmother, Samuel, and me (sorta) at a favourite childhood place, Bonnie Doon’s in Mishawaka, IN. Samuel is talking to me from across the table.

Soup Stock for Sickies, er, Your Health

Posted By Jacque on March 8, 2010 | Category: For Health, Home Management, Menu Planning and Family Favorites

We love soup, and especially to keep healthy. It’s also great when you are feeling under the weather, have a cold, or are just plain sick!

I was so excited to learn all of the benefits of soup stock. Here is a great stock info and recipes: Broth is Beautiful

Here are some of what we add to it:

Carrots
Onions
Fresh garlic -lots of it
Potatoes or rice
Sea Salt
Thyme
I cook and shred chicken and add it too.
If you think the garlic is too spicy, just add some water to the bowls you think shouldn’t have so much garlic.

Some other things I add for their healing properties:

Bragg’s Organic Raw-Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil
cinnamon powder

I made up a tea for our sickies last week, posted here: Cold – Sore Throat Tea

Shalom~
