The Amish are a branch of Protestant Christianity known as Anabaptists. The Amish sect itself; named after Jakob Ammann, began in Europe in the late 17th century and started as a reform group within the Mennonite community which they felt had become too worldly.
Lucy Webb Hayes, wife of the 19th President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, was the first wife of a president to be officially called, “First Lady”, a term coined by the American press.
I have always preferred a cottage to a castle. On visits to the British Isles and Ireland, I found tours through large estates, manor homes and restored castles interesting, but driving through villages, looking at quaint, rose-covered stone cottages with their lace curtains and geranium-laden window boxes was much more satisfying. Cottages exude warmth, comfort and homeliness. A cottage is a place to enter, sit down in and relax.
We’re all familiar with the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Some of us may have become acquainted with Laura and her family through the TV show, “Little House on the Prairie.” Others may have read the Little House series of books, which she wrote about her childhood growing up in Kansas’ Indian Territory, Minnesota, and South Dakota.
I have never been a big fan of poetry. In fact, you could say I used to be against it, at least if I had to read it.
Earth Day is April 22nd, this year. Instead of saving the whales or preventing the destruction of the rainforest, try doing what you can to reduce, reuse, and recycle in your own little corner of the Earth: your home! Here's a nifty idea for turning old clothes...

And because it’s done on a small scale, you can get a fresh new look without having to move furniture (usually), paint, or lose your whole Saturday. The possibilities are endless, and you can change it up when it’s time to move on to something new.
One of the most amazing feelings in the world is to feel listened to. A good listener is to be treasured. Do you know one? Are you one? If people feel comfortable telling you about their lives and feelings...
You’ve seen the news reports that show entire towns turned to piles of debris or travelers stranded on freeways due to severe weather. When it strikes hard, weather can be dangerous and even deadly. March is Severe Weather Awareness Month, and it’s a great time to evaluate how prepared you are in case March roars in like a lion to your hometown.
Since 1991, every President of the United States has issued a special proclamation declaring March “Irish Heritage Month”. As such, March is the month to honor the achievements, sacrifice and contributions of Irish immigrants and their descendents. As there are nearly 44 million Americans who claim Irish ancestry, ways and reasons to celebrate should be easy to find.
I cut coupons and watch the sales, all to stretch our income to cover our expenses. All my hard work is easily undone if I'm the only one pinching those pennies. It' vital that a family works together on their financial goals. So how do you teach your family to be frugal?
It’s Pancake Week! My family loves pancakes. We eat them every Tuesday, without fail. You might think this sounds boring, but I’ve found a way to keep it interesting. Every week, I add some variety to our pancakes by adding different foods and flavorings...
My rule of thumb is kids can do far more than we give them credit for. If you expect a good job, they’ll give you pretty close! If you expect them to do a terrible job, you won’t be disappointed. Set your standards higher.
Do you ever feel like your kitchen is the gateway to chaos and doom? You’re busy. Your family’s busy. Maybe you’ve got a new baby in the house, or a new job, or kids going different directions at all times of the day.
