There are many reasons relationships can be lost, but for any relationship to ever be restored, there needs to be forgiveness. Forgiveness is critical in any true and lasting relationship and this is certainly the case for our relationship with our Creator as well. The Bible never shies away from the truth of our need to be […]
February tends to be the time when we get the most snow out here, which makes it a great time to rebuild stock for the rest of the year. February, however, is not just a time to rebuild our stock levels, it is also the month where a large population of the world set aside one day […]
Christmas has come and gone and the new year has arrived. Yet, for many of us, “the weather outside is (still) frightful.” What do we do with ourselves during these next few months of cold weather, snow, and rain? For small businesses like ours, that rely strongly on craft shows, our tendencies are typically to shrink back […]
It’s crazy how things can just change in an instance. I had been wrestling with, what we had all thought was, a bad neck for a couple of weeks. It started on Elisabeth’s birthday weekend. We had gone to Silverwood, an amusement park near us, and I felt awful all day. Very dizzy and just out of […]
The Season of “Joy” It’s less than a week until Christmas, every road you drive down is decorated with Christmas lights, every radio channel is playing Christmas music, and everyone is out doing their last-minute shopping.

Okay? Thanks for agreeing, I shall do that then! The Bad News Like what Dad wrote about last week, the […]
1990 Let’s kick things off with my (Shaun) first milestone- my birth. October 17th 1990 I was born in “sunny” England, the place I would call home for the next 26 and a half years. Next milestone… 1993 As you may have guessed, 1993 was the year I (Elisabeth) was born. May 16th, I was born […]
So, it’s been a while since we had a blog post and it’s my turn this time to kick start things off with our new topic of the month: “family fun”. I find myself hugely blessed in this area as the Lord has given me not one, not two, but three distinct families. First up, we have […]
Happy Spring everyone! I know I’m a little late but hey, I haven’t written a blog since early March, so I have an excuse. Continuing with the instructional blog posts, I have decided to show you all a step by step guide to making a spreader. Why a spreader you ask? Because I want to give you […]
