blog housekeeping

A little while back I told you that I turned my thermostat down 2 degrees to see if it would save on our gas bill. The bill came and I'm excited to tell you that the bill dropped $70. I'm so shocked that I'm tempted to lower it 1 or 2 more degrees and see what the results are. We'll see if I'm brave enough to actually do that.

Now, on a more solemn note.....I've decided to stop blogging here for awhile. While I love blogging, I'm going through a season in life where this recipe blog just isn't practical to keep up with. I've so enjoyed working on this blog and I hope I can return to it someday. In the meantime though, the realty is that I'm working now, cleaning houses (while still homeschooling my kids) since my husband has been out of work now for 9 months and no, we don't get unemployment checks. We are at a crossroad in our life and it seems to be a long one. We just found out yesterday that it might be much longer. Life for now is about survival in a tough recession and trying to keep our heads up. We are clinging to the fact that God is good and as long as He is glorified through our suffering, then so be it.

I know I promised printable recipe cards but we just haven't had the time to make them available. I do hope we can in the future. In the meantime, feel free to look up recipes here often. I'll still be here so if you have a question about a recipe, feel free to comment and I'll answer them.

Oh and I keep meaning to tell you that we eat fish now! LOL. A miracle I know!

When I do come back I plan on updating the blog with new features and a face lift. I will still be blogging a little bit over at The Things We Do (for therapeutic reasons) and Hope Chest of Wisdom (when I feel led to jot down things for my daughter).

Sincerely,

I will keep your family in my prayers! Our Pastor friend in Kansas had to have his wife start working part time about a year ago. She homeschools as well...three girls. We know God will provide in the way that He sees fit!

I pray that God would give you the grace and strength you need to accomplish all your daily tasks, and provide you and your family everything you stand in need of!
