We can see the signs of Spring all around us as the fruit trees and bushes are starting to bloom, the birds are nesting, and our animals are having little ones. We can also see the pollen everywhere but it reminds us that everything is starting fresh and new for the year and it is kind of exciting.

One of the things that the kids always look forward to are these Empty Tomb Rolls at Easter. Since I’ve been studying more about the Holy Days vs Holidays I’m not sure how our Easter will look as I am really leaning more into a Passover celebration. These will still be great to help teach the kids about the resurrection while spending some quality time with them.

Tongue on Fire

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

How many times have you let something slip out of your mouth and then instantly regretted it? It happens more often than I’d like it to and I have been praying a lot about it.

I’m not just talking about profanity but sometimes hurtful things or not-so-nice comments. Sometimes we can get a little carried away with gossip and say a little too much or sometimes we can get a little smart in the mouth… it might seem funny in the moment but it really isn’t always the best way we could’ve handled a situation.

Did you know that the calendars we use today have not been the calendars that have always been in use? Calendars have been revised many times over the ages by various leaders, governments, and even the church! As a result, the number of days in a year has changed many different times. My kiddos have had some questions about Leap Year so I thought I’d share of of the answers that we’ve found.

Perpetual Meal Plan – Spring 2024

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog9 Comments

I’ve been working a little too hard on getting these meal plans ready but the effort has definitely paid off. I won’t go into a lot of detail but this is the same format as the Winter Plan but with a few different recipes to change things up. You’ll also notice that I’ve added some other features toward the end like a seasonal produce guide, Breakfast/Lunch Ideas, Themed Dinner Calendar, and a Big Batch/Freezer Cooking idea list and planner. These are all things that have been helping to keep our home running a little more smoothly through all the stuff we’ve been doing around here between house remodeling projects, taking care of animals, adding on to our garden, and just LIFE.
