This is a photo during a major storm that shut schools for two days. The little blop of orange in the center of the photo is my darling husband clearing off my car while plowing the driveway. It has been years since we have seen this much snow from one storm. The roof you can see a little bit of to the right is the garage, see how tall the snow banks are. We were able to play in the snow having some free frugal family fun. Snowshoeing with Sasquatch.  Noah and I enjoyed the event. The trails were in excellent shape and the scenery was beautiful.  I wish I have taken more photos. You can tell by the photos how tall my youngest son has got, he just turned 16 and is 6 foot 2. He has outgrown the pants that he got for Christmas he is growing so quickly. We enjoyed the fresh air and family frugal fun, that included ...

The Beloved: 365 Devotions for Young Women is a beautiful hardcover book with 371+ sturdy pages. The design throughout the book is very soft and feminine.  This devotional is targeted to the young women between the ages of  13-18 years.  The daily devotions consist of a Bible verse, related text and a 4 lined journaling space at the bottom to record thoughts, concerns, reflections, lessons, prayers, etc. The devotions are short and to the point. Thus making them a quick read, allowing time to dig deeper into the Bible, if desired. Even though the devotions do not take much time to read, and offer very powerful insight. My review: I enjoyed the format of this devotional. The readings are simple to understand and embrace. To read the devotion of the day only takes a few minutes a day to embrace the Lord's word. There are journaling lines to take notes or write down what the devotion means to you. I also keep thoughts that the daily readings provoke...
