1-2-3 CAKE......

Genius! ----- 1-2-3 Cake. I love this idea!!!

You need two boxes of cake mix. One can be any flavor you prefer, but the other MUST be Angel Food cake mix. Mix them together (shake them in a big bowl). Then simply store the mixture in an airtight container until you get the urge for dessert. Then just put three Tbsp. of the dry mixture in a big coffee mug and stir in 2 Tbsp of water. Microwave it for one minute and you will have a single serving of cake! Top with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream or whatever! Awesome for those of us who want something sweet every now without making an entire cake!!!

Homeschooling Links.....

I founds a great blog called, "A Thomas Jefferson Education".  I read a great article on the secret to not being overwhelmed.  I wanted to share the link to those who are interested in reading it.

Also a friend posted a great ice cream activity to do with the kids.  Here is the recipe.

 In a small (7x7'ish) Ziploc baggie, put 1/2 cup half & half, 1 Tbsp sugar and a small 1 tsp vanilla. Tightly seal baggie. In a gallon size Ziploc baggie, fill 1/2 full with ice and about 1/2 cup salt. Put small baggie in big baggie and tightly seal. Start shaking and tossing around and the small baggie with work around in the ice/salt and start to form a custard. It makes 1/2 cup of ice cream. 

Very fun!!!

God Cares About Every Detail

God cares about every detail of your life...
He collects every tear in a bottle. (Psalm 56:8)
He numbers every hair on your head. (Luke 12:7)
He knows every hurt in your heart. (Psalm 34:18)

The Lord knows all you are going through.
He loves you, He cares for you,
and He will make sure not one detail is overlooked.
Thinking of You and Praying too

James 5:11

 ¹¹ As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
