Dilly Bread

The best bread ever!! My husband requested the bread, and he even shopped for the cottage cheese! I’ve had a request for the recipe, so here goes the family secrets….not really. My mother-in-law made this and called it Dilly Casserole Bread, as you were supposed to bake it in a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. [...]

Ugly Sweaters

Christmas celebrating went to a new level at our house this year! The ugly sweater contest was not an original idea.. a friend’s family had done this several years ago.

But treasure them, I will. Grand-daughters [...]

Just Ask

In the back of the church is a small table where “free for the taking” items are placed. I recently found a beautiful magazine, which describes itself as “Devoted to Informing and Inspiring Today’s Catholic Families.” I found several articles that did just that for me.

Ten years ago. . . . . You asked what I have done to promote pro-life so that you may perhaps learn what more you could do.. I am 49 years along in my life. Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be a mother. My dolls were “real” to me as I [...]

Snakes, snakes and more snakes.

I found an interesting article on this topic, and it renewed my interest in writing and praying in this manner. But in addition, it connected me to another important journal.
