wfmw – cookies for breakfast

January 7, 2009 By: amyswandering3 Comments

Wouldn’t your kids love to eat cookies for breakfast? And wouldn’t you love for them to eat something healthier than a poptart before heading off to school? (Or in our case, to the living room.) I found the most delicious recipe at Heavenly Homemakers. They are healthy and super easy to make. Cookies for breakfast works for me!

Run on over to Rocks In My Dryer for tons of great tips!

Tips I Want To Remember:

Honey for a Woman’s Heart

Crockpot Oatmeal

a new year

January 5, 2009 By: amyswandering1 Comment

I love a new year with it’s fresh ideas! I used to dread January, thinking it was so dreary and boring after such a joyful holiday season. Now, I look forward to a new beginning. My biggest change will be with school – I am ditching the textbooks (except for math) and putting together my own curriculum. I feel like God has been calling me to do this for the past year, but I didn’t have the confidence to let go all the way. I am prayerfully seeking His guidance as I write our lesson plans for the coming weeks.

I’ll be adding to this list throughout the week:

  • exercise M-F with Wii Fit & Wii Outdoor
