Homemaking tips:::I've always been a huge fan of cleaning with vinegar, and now I'm finding that baking soda is a great cleaner as well.  I've used it to get scents out of carpets and in baking but never more than that until recently.  I found this article online about the 27 cleaning uses for baking soda and I've become obsessed just like I am with vinegar.  You can find the article, here.


Looking around my house:::
The kids are "resting" and I'm just relaxing on the couch and looking at the laundry that needs to be put away, and the dishes in the sink.


From the camera:::




Something fun to share:::
We are talking now about going up to Omaha and staying the night and then going to the zoo one of these weekends.

On my prayer list:::
I'm praying for Shawn who's in Cincinnati right now, hoping for a safe trip.
And I'm with Sandra, praying for rain.

Potato Soup

By
During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though.
