Living Simply.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
What does this really mean? This thought has been at the center of my heart and mind for a while. I have written about ways to live a simple life, I have discussed this with friends over and over, and spent many evenings making lists with my husband over this topic. The one thing I realized I hadn't done was to find out what the word of God says on the topic. I did some studying this afternoon and came across quite a bit of scripture discussing this matter of living a simple life. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Are We Happy Yet?</div>
<div align="center">
True happiness will never consist of things. Contentment won't be found through desires of the flesh.</div>
<div align="center">
Psalm 90:17-17; Proverbs 15:16-17, 16:8; Ecclesiastes 4:6; Isaiah 55:1-2,6; Matthew 6:25-34; Romans 8:5-6; Philippians 4:10-13; 1 Timothy 6:6-11; Hebrews 13:5-6; James 5:1-8</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Too Much Stuff!</div>
<div align="center">
Give it away before it controls you.</div>
<div align="center">
Proverbs 11:4, 28, 23:4-5; Deuteronomy 15:7-15</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
A Truly Simple Life</div>
<div align="center">
We don't need to do, be, or have more to be happy. Be content with what God has given you.</div>
<div align="center">
Psalm 46:10, 63:2-5; Mark 1:35; Luke 12:13-21, 22-31; 1 Timothy 6:6-10</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Simple Living</div>
<div align="center">
Are we consumed by consumption?</div>
<div align="center">
Deuteronomy 26:1-11, Ecclesiastes 5:10-6:9; Matthew 6:25-33; Acts 2:44-47; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9; Hebrews 12:1; Revelation 3:17-20</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
A lot of scripture to get through, I know, but going through it slowly and really meditating on the word will help to really grasp the Lords' view of simple living. </div>

I hadn't even realized that we had come to the end of our project this past Tuesday evening. Lily has been so sick, and of course all my attention was focused on her these last couple of days. Due to all the illness in our house I have not posted about our last two days of the project(or was it three?)...Oh well. We have enjoyed this time of living without lights in the evening. It definitely helped us to be a little more grateful for electricity. Even though we have turned the lights back on, I find that my husband has lit a lantern somewhere in the house. At least we know what it feels like to live without lights and if we had to we totally could. There are so many other projects we want to try out, but for now I think we will just be satisfied to have saved ourselves a little money on the electric bill.</div>

<em>It's been cloudy all day, so our natural light throughout the house hasn't been very illuminating. I almost had to light a lantern at breakfast time. Aaron cleaned our lanterns today, they had all turned black from the smoke. We finished all our chores early, so we have mostly been indoors staying warm and talking of future homesteading plans. Not really an eventful day by any means, but memorable for our little family. Hot dogs on the propane grill tonight for dinner. </em></div>

<em>It's New Year's Eve and we can hear fireworks going off in the distance. It's quiet in the house this evening, we're all snuggled together on the couch. The living room is aglow with candles and our trusty lanterns give us clear view of our surroundings. Although this is only day 3 it feels familiar somehow, like an old friend who's come to visit. It feels like we have been doing this forever. Some laughed at us when we shared our thoughts about beginning this project. Varying opinion of, "Oh you'll give up after two days", "Wow, good luck with that", "Whatever floats your boat". So far we have no desire to give up. I think it seems so far out there of an idea for some to grasp, that they call us crazy for trying it. Oh well, what fun would a project like this be without the naysayers. </em></div>

Day 2 Our No Electricity Project (Almost) 12/30/2015</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<em>Today we decided that having the use of the oven/stove was imperative Aaron didn't want to suffer through a whole week of burnt food. Hahahaha! So we are down to just having no lights on. Daylight to lantern light.... I am actually enjoying the low light in the evening. There is something almost magical about how the light flickers and plays off the walls. Once your eyes adjust to lower levels of light it becomes rather easy to see in the dark. Jacob doesn't seem to mind too much, as long as we are all in the same room together. Lily is just happy for someone to hold her. I do love how the living without lights has brought us all together in the evenings. We all share in the warm glow of a lantern and each others company.</em></div>

Several weeks ago my husband came to me with an idea, one that I had already been thinking about. So when he presented it to me I was very excited and happy to agree to it. We decided to try going one week without electricity, well almost... We are such romantics and the "old ways" appeal to us so deeply. Our passion for living simply and without the intrusion of modern things and such, really has become a focus on our little homestead. So doing this didn't seem like such a stretch or burden to us. Knowing that winter is upon us and we don't have a fire place or wood burning stove we decided we would need to keep the heat on, especially for the kiddos. Living by candlelight and lantern in the evening hours and using a propane camping stove to cook on was the first step to cutting off and using less electricity. So out he went to Lowes the following day of us discussing this idea, to purchase a propane camp stove. We stocked up on lantern oil, we already owned two lanterns, and of course I already had a ton of candles. Yesterday was our first day of no lights and no oven/stove. It was interesting to say the least. I wrote down my thoughts about the evening in my journal to share with ya'll here...<br />
<br />
Day 1 of Our No Electricity Project 12/29/15<br />
<br />
<em>Is this what it was like for Sarah, from Sarah Plain and Tall? Living by lantern light in the evening hours? It's been difficult in this first day, mostly because we are so used to just flipping a switch when we enter a room. Walking from room to room with a lantern to the light the way is definitely going to take some getting used to. Even as I write this by candlelight I wonder how the rest of the project will go. There was at least one time this evening that I thought about nixing the whole idea, especially when my cornbread had a very black and crunchy bottom coming off our little propane stove. UGH!!! Note to self - Figure out a way to cook dinner without burning it to ash!!! Rising with the sun has a certain charm, mostly if you are a morning person which I am not, but wasted daylight is wasted time...Wait! Is this my new motto??? I seriously sound like my husband right now. It was fun though, eating dinner as a family with the lantern on the table, it really does give off more light than I expected. Well, I guess I better get some sleep - have lot's more to do tomorrow before sunset. And maybe we will get through this project without one of us burning the house down.....</em><br />

I just love a fresh, baked loaf of bread. It fills the house with it's sweet aroma, and sure tastes delicious with a little butter spread on it. Okay, okay, a lot of butter, who are we kidding. Today I made some spelt bread with some freshly ground spelt berries. I picked up a large bag of spelt berries at our local Country Store, a lovely, little place with many wonderful and unique goods. A very sweet Mennonite family owns this place, and I frequently visit for some goods at a very low price that I cannot find at our regular grocery store. Normally I would guard this recipe as a great secret, but I am feeling generous today and thought I would share. It's that good folks, good enough to keep it all to yourself.<br />
<br />

Now, for a little history and health lesson....Spelt, also known as dinkel wheat, or hulled wheat, is a species of wheat cultivated around 5000 BCE. Spelt is extremely nutrient dense, more so than traditional wheat and has a wonderful nutty and light flavor. Ok, class is over.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I have used traditional wheat in bread making a couple of times past and really am not a big fan. It is a little too heavy, spelt is lighter in texture and tastes better, that's my opinion anyways. So without further ado here is the recipe for this lovely, nutritious, loaf of baked heaven. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tip - Keep your spelt berries stored in an air-tight container </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div align="center">
<u>Spelt Bread</u></div>
<div align="center">
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour </div>
<div align="center">
- 3/4 cup ground spelt berries(this is 1/2 cup whole berries)</div>
<div align="center">
- 1 cup warm water (110 degrees)</div>
<div align="center">
- 1 packet of rapid rise instant yeast (2 1/4 tsp)</div>
<div align="center">
- 1/4 cup sugar</div>
<div align="center">
- 1 tsp salt</div>
<div align="center">
- 1/8 cup oil (I use coconut oil)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
In a glass measuring cup, dissolve the sugar in 1 cup of warm water(110 degrees). Add the packet of yeast and gently stir until dissolved. Place a tea towel over the measuring glass and wait about 5-6 minutes while the yeast activates. Once it has become frothy pour in the oil and salt. In a large mixing bowl pour in the yeast mixture, then stir in the flours. Mix with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are combined. Using your hands, knead the dough until soft, elastic but not sticky. Form the dough into a ball and place in a draft-free, warm place. Keep it covered with a tea towel, and allow to rise for one hour or until dough has doubled in size.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGBcW2E6MvoycmIBeQ_z3P7bPgDaDkvWvN0OOy5lb-56Ms_LY6q5PjlQkthXldCPl-WPtOlMNgdTRQYns2tZ5MzU8zfwfZoVgYFHCHaEsO7aGUqZNy7WMt2aMeLbsxDmnCD1JD7tQNzM/s1600/20151214_140049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGBcW2E6MvoycmIBeQ_z3P7bPgDaDkvWvN0OOy5lb-56Ms_LY6q5PjlQkthXldCPl-WPtOlMNgdTRQYns2tZ5MzU8zfwfZoVgYFHCHaEsO7aGUqZNy7WMt2aMeLbsxDmnCD1JD7tQNzM/s320/20151214_140049.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Once the dough has risen punch it down and form it into a log shape. Place it into a well greased loaf pan. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, while heating allow your dough to rise one more time and when the dough has risen about an inch above the pan put it in the oven. Bake until the top is golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so just watch it. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes then gently transfer the bread from the pan to a cooling wrack. While it's still warm brush some softened butter over the top of the bread. This will keep the crust from drying out and getting too hard. Keep the bread stored in a bread box or wrapped in clear wrap. Enjoy!!!!<br />

This time of year everyone seems to be in a great big rush, a blight to what this lovely time of year really should be. Everyone is scurrying about like mice in a maze trying to reach their slice of cheese, not stopping to really notice the quiet beauty all around. Our society is in a constant pulse of drive and go, go, go every second of every day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As mothers we set the tone for our homes, the tone that will affect our husbands and children. When we are stressed and feeling rushed, so does our family. Our children look to us on how to act in certain situations, and how to respond to life's uncertainties. How do you want your children to see you, to see this holiday? Hopefully with peace, love, joy, and the importance of savoring this time with family. If we are in a constant mode of rushing around, our children will get anxious and our husbands come home to an atmosphere of stress. Where is the peace in that? Let us slow down, let us take time to be with our husbands and children. Let us teach our little ones that there is much joy to be found in the stillness of winter. We don't have to always be doing and going, we can enjoy one another in the calm of this season. I encourage you today, to take the time during this season of cold weather and festivities of Christmas to just be still, and take it all in. Really be present for your family. Show them the joy to be had in the tranquility of being together.</div>

This is the month of Christmas! I love this time of year, the colors, the smells, the gathering of family, gift giving, and so on. This time of year is so busy, probably one of the busiest months in the year. In all the hustle and bustle of shopping, baking, and decorating we must take some time to really meditate on the true reason for this blessed season. Jesus came to this earth and gave us the most precious gift - His life. His birth brought joy and peace to all, what a gift to mankind. Gifts are wonderful to get and fun to open, who doesn't like having something to open on Christmas morning? Most of the time it is something we might use a few times, then up it goes into a closet to collect dust. Just things, things that don't last forever. It may be that you don't have a lot of money this year to spend on physical gifts for everyone and you are worried about it. I want to encourage you today that in all of the gift giving this holiday, give the gift of a kind word to someone. Share the gift of God's love with someone. Give the gift of a warm hug and a bright smile. Give of yourself, helping others in need. These are gifts that will last forever! They don't cost a thing, and only take a moment to share. It might seem so simple but the impact may be life-changing. Jesus gave His life as a gift, lets keep the spirit of true giving front and center this Christmas. May the Lord bless you and your family this holiday. We pray abundant joy and peace upon your home. </div>

Most of you that have been to my house know that it's not very big, I think somewhere around 1,300sqft. Although it doesn't have mega square footage it has a great, open floor plan and many nooks and crannies to hide all of our extra items that we don't want out in the open. I cannot talk enough about the importance of organization in a small home. When you are limited on space you must get creative and think outside the box. I am in the process of cleaning out and organizing our coat closet, that unfortunately over the last year has become more of a catch-all closet! I imagine that everyone probably has a catch-all place in their home. We have put our camping gear, luggage, coats, picnic bags, vacuum cleaner, old curtain rods, and such in there. It's time to clean it out and organize it! The dollar store is a great and inexpensive way to find little bins, baskets, tubs, etc. for organizing. Today I ventured there and found some great organizational bins to put my growing stash of Christmas décor and small gifts in. I also happened upon some storage bags, that are perfect for extra shoes, jackets, and blankets. These bags come in a couple of different sizes to fit your need. I highly recommend you visit your dollar store and check out what they have to offer in the way of organizing utensils. I have a before and after of our coat closet, only showing this to share some inspiration in this holiday season. We could all use a little inspiration when it comes to keeping our homes tidy and organized. Hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend. </div>

This past weekend we enjoyed having our extended family come and visit with us. Lily, our precious little daughter was dedicated at church Sunday, and all the family came for the special occasion. We had a lot of fun Saturday, took the kiddos to the pumpkin patch for some pumpkin pickin' and photos. Later that day we had some delicious food and games, what a wonderful time with us all together. I enjoyed having everyone at our home and I look forward to many more special get-togethers like this one. Hope ya'll have a great weekend, enjoying the Fall weather.</div>

Wonderful Messy Sweet Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11066822423731031437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389748779879194430.post-76074464297235413532015-10-04T16:43:00.000-07:002015-10-04T16:43:17.073-07:00The Perfect Day <div align="center">
It has been an absolutely gorgeous day. Perfect in every way, well except that my little man has been sick. We enjoyed some cool breeze and warm sunshine on a soft blanket in the front yard. We were shaded by our magnificent pecan trees, so lovely. Lily was mesmerized by the wind blowing the leaves and Jacob enjoyed some library books all about whales, his latest obsession. It was the perfect afternoon with my littles, the perfect day that I will forever remember. </div>

Wonderful Messy Sweet Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11066822423731031437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389748779879194430.post-35970897481528663492015-10-03T14:17:00.001-07:002015-10-03T14:17:04.204-07:00A Return to Whole Foods and Pumpkins<div align="center">
Eating healthy can be a challenge, let's face it we live in a fast-food, whatever's easiest, cheapest society of foodies. We all love food, we all have or have had a hate/love relationship with food. We know what's bad for us yet we can't resist the way it gives us short-lived satisfaction. You can't just simply go to the grocery store and pick up the "basics" anymore. There is so much temptation at every checkout line, at the end of every isle, the sinful smells coming from the bakery section... it's endless, the choices. Invariably those choices make a mess of our health, bodies, and minds. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
As a family we have decided to return to a simplistic, natural, whole, healing way of eating. Taking the chaos and stress out of the way we look at food, the way we buy our food. Whole foods by it's definition is just that, whole, nothing need be added to it. It by itself is pure, nurturing. How I feed my body determines how I will feel. It's simple, you eat junk, you feel like junk. You eat good you will feel good. So many ailments can be healed by the food we choose to eat, the right food. On our little homestead we grow a lot of our food. Our chickens lay eggs, we eat the eggs, then we eat the chickens. The veggies grown in our garden serves as a side dish to our chicken. You can't get much more whole than that. Aaron killed our rooster this morning and he is now in a pot, on the stove cooking with carrots, onions, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, and water. My house smells wonderful! Of course I will can the broth and use it for later recipes. <br />
<br />
Almost every window in my house is open, letting in the cool autumn air. My fall pumpkins are arranged around the house giving our home a perfect touch of the season. I do hope your days are cooler and looking a little like fall. <br />
<br />
Blessings~<br />

So Aaron has finally finished the Pergola, YAY!!!! It looks amazing, he even made a bench out of some old pallets he got from work. He added some beautiful cushions for the final, comfortable touch. We love it so much and it is so nice to sit out there and just enjoy the serenity of it all. To celebrate the completion of said project I made some veggie pizza. It was scrumptious!!! Hope you all are finding a little bit of serenity in your own lives.</div>

I love day's like these(yesterday) when we can all be together as a family and enjoy some quality time in each others presence. Playing with the dogs, checking in on the chickens, collecting eggs, swinging, bike riding, and the list goes on. Then to wrap up a perfect day I made a delicious homemade, skillet pizza for Jacob(his favorite), and some hamburgers for hubby and myself. I love making our hamburger buns from scratch, they taste so much better than store bought and not to mention a little healthier. The burgers were accompanied by some roasted, rosemary, carrot fries. YUMMM!!! I hope you are enjoying some fun, family time too and some good home-cooked meals. </div>

Wonderful Messy Sweet Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11066822423731031437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389748779879194430.post-37430728309523071152015-08-27T15:17:00.000-07:002015-08-27T15:17:37.722-07:00Siblings<div align="center">
While Lily sat in her bumbo seat this afternoon, Jacob decided to serenade her with his ukulele. She loved it of course, anything her big brother does to make her happy is alright with her. He showed me his creative art work, his legs being the canvas, what else! Thankfully it's washable, I have learned to always purchase washable markers and paint for this kiddo. I am just so amazed by the bond that my children already have between them. I encourage love, kindness, and gentleness to be given by each other. I want my children to grow up respecting one another. Yes, I do know that differences in opinion will arise at some point down the road and little spats may ensue, but for now I will relish in the sweetness between them. </div>

Aaron and I, for the past couple of years, have been planning, dreaming, and talking of our desire to "live off the land" and grow/make most of our food, make soap, have chickens for eggs and meat, and possibly a goat for milk. Basically going old school and living like the pioneers, ok well maybe not so drastic, we will keep our electricity. Now that we have a little bit of property and the means to live this way, we are slowly making strides of being mostly self-sufficient. Our spring and summer garden gave us quite a bit for which we are thankful, and now that summer is winding down we will begin planting the fall garden. The agrarian lifestyle is making a comeback, even in urban areas people are finding a way to grow their food and live off of what they can make with their hands. In a world that is based on the idea of more and convenience, it's easy to just go with the flow and not really stop and think about where your food and other common items comes from. We gave up on buying store bought bread and I now make our loaves every week. I made a sourdough starter a couple of weeks ago and have kept it going so that we have fresh sourdough loaves as often as we want. Sourdough is probably the healthiest form of bread there is as it is a fermented food. Lots of live probiotics, good for the gut. I learned something new with making sourdough, after a little research, true sourdough bread is not as sour as most store bought sourdough breads taste. So far it tastes great! I made a loaf of molasses sourdough last week, did you know that molasses is the only natural sweetener that has vitamins and minerals in it. Our chickens are finally laying, YAY!!!! They gave us the first egg two weekends ago, now they lay about an egg a day. Pretty soon though we will see two or more a day. We have two laying hens now and the two little ones will be mature enough to lay in the next month or so. This lifestyle is hard work but so worth it! </div>

Yesterday was a bubble kind of day. The late afternoon was surprisingly cool and breezy, that cool breeze blew in some much needed rain last night. I was awoken to the lovely sound of rain this morning and just about shouted Hallelujah! Instead I quietly breathed a prayer of thanks, didn't want to wake Lily, she has been sleeping so good lately. Jacob, Lily, and I enjoyed some bubbles and the breeze together. Jacob showered Lily with bubbles and kisses, then showed her his airplane, explaining to her how it flies. Lily blew some bubbles too, spit bubbles. I love my babies so much, I want to soak up every minute of their being little and innocent. The sweetness of their play and love for each other, what a blessing! When daddy got home Max and Daisy playfully fought for his attention, and got lots of belly rubs and behind the ear scratches. It was a beautiful and happy evening for us all. </div>

I thought I would change things up a bit and share a recipe with ya'll. I love how easy, quick and inexpensive this casserole is to make. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><u>Ingredients</u></strong>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 large chicken thighs (I used the bone in, skin on - this keeps the meat moist)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 large head of broccoli, chopped (you may also use a bag of frozen broccoli florets)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 block of Velveeta, cubed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 can of cream of chicken condensed soup</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 cups of rice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4 cups of water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pepper to taste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, place the chicken thighs in a baking dish, sprinkle some salt over the thighs, cover with foil and bake until done. While the chicken is cooking chop the broccoli to desired size, add to a large pot and cover with water, place a lid on it and boil until soft. When the broccoli is done strain and set aside. Measure 4 cups of water in a pot, add the rice and bring it to a boil. Once it begins to boil place a lid on it and turn down the temp and allow to simmer until done (cooking time will vary depending on whether you used white or brown rice, follow instruction on the package). When your chicken is done place the thighs on a cutting board to cool. While chicken is cooling, add the can of cream of chicken soup to a saucepan, fill the empty can with water and add this to soup and heat . Once warmed add the Velveeta cubes, stirring until it is fully melted. When the chicken has cooled enough to handle pull the meat off the bone and shred. Add the broccoli and chicken to the rice, stir to combine. Then pour the cheese mixture over everything, stir to combine. Enjoy!!!<br />
