How I Will Blog and Be Away From Home At the Same Time

by 9 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

During the next two and a half weeks, I will be making a quick trip for the 4th of July, then I’ll be out at our church camp with my family. There is wireless internet at the camp, so we’ll be packing up the laptop to keep up with work as we can.

nyc

However, internet can be a little tricky there. Plus, I plan to spend time with campers and other staff while I’m there instead of working on my computer for several hours each day like I try to do at home.

Here’s what you can expect here during the next two and a half weeks:

  • New posts now and then.  I’ll try to check in here when I can, because two weeks is a long time to be gone and I’ll just miss you all too much if I stay away that whole time.
  • Gratituesday as normal – hopefully. At the very least, I hope to get online to share how God is working in my life and to praise Him with you on Gratituesday. If my schedule at camp just doesn’t allow this, or if the internet doesn’t cooperate, we’ll all just be grateful on our own. :)
  • Older posts re-posted each day.  To date, I have written 3,650 posts for this website. I bet there are a few you’ve missed here and there, eh? I’ve picked out some that I think will benefit you to read (or re-read), and scheduled them to pop up throughout the next two weeks. It’ll be a fun blast from the past!

How can you pray for me?

Oh hey, thanks for asking. :)  This summer has been great so far, and also very, very full. I’m a little tired already as I head into these weeks away from home. I’d love prayer for energy. But mostly, I need prayer to be fully surrendered to letting God work. I want the people I’m with to see Jesus shining through me, not myself shining through me. I struggle with this. But God is biggest, and He has already won the victory over this battle in my life. How very gracious of Him to continue working this out in me.

I’ll be praying for you too.

You are all an important part of my life, and I appreciate you. I want you to know that I pray for you, and will continue to pray while I am away. Thank you for being a blessing in my life!

Our family is hitting the road for a reunion next week. Along the way, we’d love a chance to meet you if you live in the St. Louis, Missouri or Nashville, Tennessee areas.

We just have a small window of time while our boys are between church camp obligations, otherwise we’d make more stops along the way to meet even more of you. We have loved our time meeting up with you when we travel!!

denver_m&G

You realize, don’t you, that it was at last year’s Meet and Greets I started liking coffee?  :)

Soooooo, can you come, can you come??? Here are the details:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

St. Louis Area Meet and Greet:  Panera Bread (actually known as St. Louis Bread Company) located at 2079 Zumbehl Rd, St Charles, MO 63303

Our family will be there on Wednesday, June 18 from 10:00 am to 11:30 am

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

cos_m&g_2

It’s been so much fun to watch your kids interact with my kids during the Meet and Greet times.

A couple of notes:

  • If you live in one of these areas and think it will work for you to be there, would you mind shooting me a quick email? I’d love to have a point person for each location, just in case I need to call and say, “We’re late but we’re coming – watch for the scatter-brained lady with frazzled hair.”
  • If you don’t email me, you can definitely still come. Just show up – it will be so fun to see you!
  • I’ll be bringing along some Oh, For Real cookbooks and printed Learn Your Letters, Learn to Serve curriculum in case any of you are interested in buying them without having to pay shipping costs.
  • Sorry for the late notice. I’m just now getting the details of this trip figured out because I’ve only known about this upcoming trip for 8 months. {rolls eyes at self}
  • I promise to talk about more than just the subject of butter when we’re together. Wait. What else is there?
  • Can’t be there on time? Just come whenever you can before 11:30.

St. Louis and Nashville friends – I can’t wait to meet you!

Did You Know Our New “Search By Ingredient” Tool Can Save You Money?

by 1 Comment

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

It’s been a few weeks since we installed our Heavenly Homemaker’s Recipe Search By Ingredient Box. Have you used it yet? Has it been helpful to you?

If you haven’t used it yet, you’ll find it over at the top of my right sidebar, just waiting to help you. It looks like this:

search by ingredients

Here’s how it works:  Let’s say you have a lot of eggs in your fridge you want to use up for dinner tonight. You know you have plenty of cheese to go with it. You could just scramble up eggs with cheese (always tasty!), but what other ideas are there? Simply head over to the top of my sidebar, type “eggs, cheese” into the recipe search box – and it will pull up recipes from our site that will hopefully fit your needs.

It’s not fool proof. (Type in “cabbage” and you’ll get my Pudding Pops recipe since I talked about my cabbage patch doll memories in that post!)  But our hope is that this tool will simplify your meal and snack planning, and help you come up with new, fun recipes for your family.

In addition, we feel that the Heavenly Homemaker’s Recipe Search By Ingredient Box will save you money! How? Well, we all have ingredients tucked away in our fridge that might go bad and be wasted if they aren’t used up. If you need fresh inspiration as to what to do with those ingredients, simply type them into the search box and see what comes up! No one wants to waste money by throwing away food!

The search box will also save you money by giving you meal ideas so that you don’t feel like you have to resort to going out to eat or picking up take-out. Seriously, sometimes we just want someone else to do the thinking for us so that we don’t have to figure out what food to prepare! Let the Heavenly Homemaker’s Recipe Search By Ingredient Box do your thinking for you, then have fun putting together one or more of our simple, healthy, and tasty recipes.

Go over to our sidebar and check it out!

P.S. If you type in “butter” you’ll likely get blasted with recipes. Go figure. ;)
