The Fudge is DONE! :o)

We have worked hard...and even through illness (I'll spare you the details but you will be glad to know Kiddo had a stomach bug and not strep throat - it's not pretty, but at least he doesn't need to be on antibiotics again!) and we have just finished making our fudge. We only need to let it cool and set up and then we'll package it up. That's easy enough to do in baggies and stuff!

Kiddo is feeling MUCH better - after keeping me up all night long - and even managed to help us clean up some of the utensils. :o)

Here are some pictures:

This is called cookie cutter fudge...you fill cookie cutters and let it set up and then you package them up - isn't this a great idea? (By the way, you can just use practically any fudge recipe. This is almost identical to the one we used...the measurements are just a tad bit different, but this would be easier to do because then you don't have leftovers in cans and jars.)

Once we filled up the cookie cutters, I had to get creative and we had these on hand...I used 23 of these. (One package is 24 little tins.)

And I told you Kiddo was feeling much better! (That white spot on his cheek is marshmallow fluff...told you he cleaned some utensils! :o)
All things considered we had a pretty good time...and later we'll likely have a bit for dessert!

Be blessed and be well!

Cute idea to put the fudge in a cookie cutter. Is it easy to get out?

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
