My favourite room in my house

Anyone who knows me personally can agree when I say that my favourite room in my house is my kitchen.

Not because it’s fancy, which, it’s not.   

Not because it’s clean & tidy, which it most often, is not. 

Most definitely not because of the great view out my window, which is my neighbours garage.

But because that’s the place where I get to create! That is the place where all the ‘magic’ happens. That’s the place where I go from ‘mom’ to ‘magician’ and I can just let my imagination run free!

I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE to bake (this is not an exaggeration).  What I also love, is a baking challenge.

I have a few friends with restricted diets and I have had the opportunity to bake for them. I have friends that can’t have sugar or dairy and only certain kinds of flour. 

This was quite a challenge for me in the beginning, but I have done a lot of research and have learnt sooooo much in the process. Through this, I have also been learning how to make my own baking more healthier. I have also been able to bake ‘specialty’ goodies for church functions, which is such a pleasure for me because we have many gluten free members in our church family and I believe that every one should be able to enjoy cookies at special events!

Through my research I have come across a great food blog that is gluten free, sugar free & often dairy free. Check it out here.

This is one of her recipes:

Healthy Banana Nut Muffins.

I made them yesterday and they were fabulous!!!  They were moist and soft and sooo delicious. You couldn't even tell that there was NO sugar in them! The friends that I made them for liked them too, that’s always a bonus!

 

What’s your favourite room?

Monday’s Thoughts

Have you ever wondered about the history of Compassion International? I know I have. Today, as I was catching up on some blog posts that I’ve missed lately, I came across this video.  I thought it would be good to share with you. Whether you sponsor with Compassion or not, it doesn’t matter. I recommend that you take the 3 minutes and watch this video.   Watch Pastor Everett Swanson in Family | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com It’s beautiful to see how despair can turn into hope, just with one man’s dream and the power of God. Will you sponsor a child? If you decide to sponsor a child, feel free to share it with me. I would love to share in your joy!

Not Perfect (not even close)

     Do you ever get tired of feeling like you never say or do the right thing at the right time? I sure do! I always think about what I should have said or done long after the moment is passed. The more I think about it the dumber I feel. “Why can’t I just ‘be’ like the other godly women I know?” “Why do I constantly mess up?” These are questions that battle my mind quite often. I just don’t ever feel like I have it together. Take Sunday morning for instance: my husband was ushering so I was in charge of both of our kids for the first little bit of church. No big deal right? It should be easy. I have 2 kids not 8, so there should be no worries. WRONG! My kids sure know how to pick the days that they are not gonna behave and Sunday was one of them. Here’s just a bit of my Sunday morning: as soon as I sat down my son started to whine (he has a whine like no one else, as my sister so lovingly put it) and he would not stop whining. His nose was running also, so I took h...

My Spirited, trouble making, blessings.

    My children are a handful some days (usually the days that I’m tired and have limited patience), my daughter is ‘spirited’ and my son is just a trouble maker. He loves to make people laugh and does so in a variety of different ways. Take last week for example, He decided to crawl onto our table (which is higher than normal), stand and then touch my light fixtures. Well, the other two babies that I babysit thought this was hilarious, so they would laugh and he would keep doing it. Then mom (me) seeing what was happening, would come take him off the table, tell him to stay off and carry about my business. However, that doesn’t work with him very well. So he would do it all over again and get the same response from his ‘audience’.  Finally, in order to make him stop, I had to put him into his crib where he couldn’t get out. My daughter is very exuberant. Anyone who knows her can attest to that. When she walks into a room, you know .  She is a child who is ‘mo...
