Biblical Feasts: Holy Days vs Holidays

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog17 Comments

I’ve been extremely interested in the Biblical Feasts and Holy Days that are mentioned in the Bible, but it can be a little overwhelming to try to figure all of this out. Check out Leviticus 23 for more information.

The Sabbath is probably one of the most well-known of these Holy Days, and I would like to start keeping it the way it should be kept

Check out our Perpetual Meal Plans for ideas to celebrate some of these Holy Days!

These are some of the other Holy Days and Feasts that I want to learn more about so that they can be properly celebrated.

  1. Passover (Spring)
  2. Unleavened Bread (Spring)
  3. Feast of Weeks / Shavuot / Pentecost (Spring)
  4. Trumpets / Yom Teruah (Fall)
  5. Atonement / Yom Kippur / The Fast (Fall)
  6. Tabernacles / Sukkot (Fall)
  7. Eighth Day / Last Great Day (Fall)

The first three are about things that have already come to pass while the last four are telling us of things that are yet to come. It is more than a little exciting to think of all that we have to look forward to!

There are other days that I find interesting as well and I would like to research them a little more.

Shared Bedroom Makeovers… Two become three

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog9 Comments

As many of you already know, we bought this house and it has already been well-loved. It was definitely in need of some TLC… a bit more than we had realized at the time but we’ve been making improvements as time and budget have allowed.

We had a lot of hopes and dreams for this house when we first moved in but there were so many issues that happened and had to be dealt with that we just had to focus on those. Plus the pandemic had just started, we were dealing with an unexpected high-risk pregnancy and then a stressful premature birth with a NICU stay and other complications, and then when we thought things were getting better we were sidelined by an unexpected leukemia diagnosis.

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

I love that WordPress offers some writing prompts for those days when you just can’t think of where to start. Today’s prompt was one that I can actually think of a million ways to answer but the truth is that you can probably reduce clutter all around you.

We love this quote as we recently read it in our Laying Down the Rails handbook:

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
― William Morris

Victory Garden Planning – January 2024

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog6 Comments

No catchy title line here… no time for that today as the kids and the dog have been WILD! I’m exhausted and it isn’t even lunchtime yet!

We are almost halfway through the first month of the year and I’m already behind on my garden duties! Granted, we have had some CRAZY weather here and the house remodel has taken first priority but things still have to get planned so we can try to have an even more abundant garden this coming year!

I’ve been working on some Planning Notebook pages soon but for now, I’ll just list some of the things I’ve been working on for the garden. I have been playing around with a new planning program called SEEDTIME. It really does seem like it will be quite the time saver as I’ve been keeping up with my gardening task on notecards in a small file system… quite cumbersome at times.
