On blogs I enjoy...

No time for a lengthy post today, but I want to tell you about a few of the blogs I enjoy and read daily.

On Tid Bits of Our Life, Tam talks about her life with 16 children. I have "known" Tam for a few years via an online message board. Right now her blog is mostly daily lists and recipes, but a she introduced me to the basics of being a godly wife. Things like, oh, "don't badmouth your husband to all of your friends." She also led me to Brenda's blog and introduced me to tomato staking.

I do not know Brenda personally, but her blog, Titus 2 Mentor, is my favorite. She has recently started to blog about herbs and natural health remedies, but she also blogs about building relationships with children and instilling godly character in children. She has some great posts going back to 2005-06 (she doesn't blog daily). Here are some of my favorite posts of hers:

Who is your child's #1 confidant?

Scriptures to act out and train into our children

Candy's blog is Keeping the Home. I do not know her personally, but I like her homemaking advice and some of her posts on marriage/parenting. I am fairly sure I don't agree with some of religious views, but will admit I've not had time to research them.

Katie's blog is Team Bettendorf. I "know" Katie just a bit from a message board I'm on. Katie's daughter has been fighting cancer (which she beat!) so Katie has not had time to post on marriage/parenting issues, but she is very outspoken and has excellent advice.

I do not know Camilla personally, but I like her blog, Growing in Truth. Some of her posts I agree with, some of them I don't. But she is always outspoken (and a bit dramatic) and that's a trait I respect (and also find entertaining).

Hello,

Thanks for all the wonderful information. Your blog is hleping me so much in learning how to love (show respect) to my husband and train our son. I see you tried the recipe, I hope you liked it. I tried a new recipe this week and it was quick. I think it is a good hot lunch recipe and it is really pretty.
Ham and Brocoli Shortcut Stromboli
(Campbell's Collection Recipe Book)
1 package (10 ounces) refrigerated dough
1 can (10 ounces) campbell's condensed cream of celery
1 cup cooked chopped brocoli
2 cups cubed cooked ham
1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

Preheat oven to 400 F, Unroll dough onto greases baking sheet. Set aside

Mix soup, brocoli and ham. Spread soup mixture down center of dough. Top with cheese. Fold long sides of dough over filing and pinch and seal. Pinch short sides to seal.

Bake 20 minutes (or a little less) until golden brown. Slice and serve.

***I usually buy the cubed ham at walmart 1 lb for $2.50. Sometimes I buy a chunk of turkey ham and cube it myself. I add ham to macaroni and cheese and potato soup to make a meal.
I used frozen brocoli flowers and cut the brocoli into smaller pieces after I cooked it Also, this was saltier than we desire, so if you don't like the salt boil the ham and use the low sodium cream of celery.

I love all of your pictures and I have been checking out the other websites that you have listed. I will remember not to bad mouth my husband to my friends, I am also learning how to think loving and tender thoughts about him. Hope you try the recipe.
