: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
These rice crispy bars are not dry and crunchy like so many. They are ooey and gooey with pockets of melty marshmallow.
I have never been a huge fan of rice crispy treats. Dry and crunchy? No thanks, give me something chocolate.
But not too long ago, I found myself with about 10 bags of marshmallows, and needed to do something with them. And after making these once, I was pleased to have all of those bags….. so I could make more!
I love telling you about new games that I discover. My family knows that there are certain rules which must be met in order for a game to pass muster. Word games are usually my go-to when I get to pick what we’re going to play.
Often times, games have a digital counterpart. These are usually not terribly tempting for me. My iPad is used mainly for tutoring, in orthodontist waiting rooms, and occasionally in the ladies room. (Shhhh) Every once in awhile I’ll pull it out to play a game to kill time, but not so often that I am on the lookout for new games.
I’ve already shared a few of our favorite word games before. Today, I want to tell you about two things: One digital game, an app, that I can’t get enough of as well as a card game that my family has been playing quite a lot of.
Quite a variety of topics this week. My reading has been all over the map!
Here’s what I’ve been reading:
My eldest son had pnemonia 3 times before he turned 3, and as a teenager still has mild asthma. If you’ve had similar issues at your house, you know the hum of the nebulizer as well as we do. His asthma hasn’t acted up in years, but he still seems more susceptible to respiratory illnesses. Colds tend to settle in his chest.
When I was introduced to essential oils years ago, his breathing issues came to mind. Finding essential oils for respiratory issues was at the top of my list. Over the years, we’ve tried a variety of blends.
Easy hot dog chili recipe to make the best chili dogs ever! Equally delicious as chili cheese fries. And it freezes beautifully!
One of my kids would live on hot dogs and chips if we let him. (We don’t let him.) But when he gets to pick what’s for dinner, hot dogs is usually on the menu. In the summer, hot dogs on the grill are a fun treat. But in the fall and winter, chili dogs hit the spot.
Hot dog chili is different from a chili you would eat on its own (ideally topped with sour cream, onions, cheese and a square of cornbread). Nope. Nothing like it. Hot dog chili is not chunky, and usually doesn’t have beans. It’s really more of a condiment.
All parents have their own arena of parenting fears. When my boys were young, my fears tended to surround them being taken or harmed. Fears can paralyze us, can’t they?
One night, I tip-toed in to my boys’ room, tucked them in, brushing the hair out of their faces as they peacefully slept in their footed jammies. I sat down on the floor of their room to pray over them. As I sat there, I began to hear God’s voice asking me if I would trust my boys with Him. Would I give Him my boys?
