Crock Pot Blog

I have been making yummy soups all week.  I love a nice warm bowl of soup on a cold day!  Plus they are so easy to make.  I love recipe websites and here's one I want to share:

They always tend to have great tasting ideas and recipes just for the crock pot.  I love being able to start dinner early in the morning, especially on those busy days!  The recipe listed for today looks especially good, plus it consists of items I usually stock my pantry and freezer with, which is a double bonus.

Now an update on the home front:
We are busy getting back into the swing of homeschooling.  It takes about a week or so after a big break for the kiddos to get used to the old schedule and to stay on task, we're finally there.  In my mind I like to just keep on having them work, but the reality... it's nice to give them some time off and have fort building and fun adventure days.
We have also been enjoying these rainy days.  We sat on the front porch yesterday, drank some hot chocolate, with extra marshmallows, and watched the thunder and lightning.  What a beautiful sight!  We talked about the awesome power of God and how he is in control of all things.  It was a great visual to show them His power and might!  What a blessing!  Our God is an awesome God!

Now for a picture of the day:
Here are my little ones who raided the dress up box - Robert is the baby bear from the three bears - we have the whole set thanks to some friends at church, and Geneve is my little mouse.  They have all had a lot of fun putting on plays that older sister Bella likes to put together.  They are such a joy to be with!  Thank you Lord for these little blessings!

God Bless,
