Duct tape is a wonderful invention. Not only is it good for repairing almost anything, but it’s good for using on your mouth. Especially if your mouth has a way of running away with you (and mine does sometimes). Recently, we purchased a car for our kids who needed one to get back and forth…

You can also find Patty at The Barn Door, the Internet Cafe and Adding Zest, a site for Christian women who want to add some zest to their love nest.

Children and Service
Teaching our children about God and living out our faith before them is important, but there’s another thing we want to teach them, and that’s to serve.

Menu Planning From Your Pantry
For most of the twenty years we’ve been married, my husband has been self-employed as a contractor. We live in a rural area where the economy wasn’t ever good so we’ve had some very lean winters. I learned early in our marriage to keep our pantry as stocked as possible with the basics of what…
