A Sense of the Resurrection & GIVEAWAY

Today is a big day! This is my 200th post here at Milk & Honey Living and in honor of these past 200 posts and these first day of Spring I am honored to review an awesome resource and host my first giveaway! And I think it is fitting… This blog is an ever evolving space…

The How & Why of Observing Lent

I’m not sure if you are a faithful follower of Christ, have read here often, or just stumbled upon this blog today. Regardless, as we enter the Lenten season (the 40 days leading up to Easter), I wanted to acknowledge this time – what it is and means – and how observing it can grow our faith….

Counting Hearts {Free Printable}

If you are in need of a fun, easy, Valentine’s activity, I’ve got one for you! I came up with this printable because we do a lot of counting, but wanted to continue working a little more on number recognition! I thought we’d use it for a few minutes and it turned into two-hour’s worth…

Christmas Card Prayer Pins

Every year we receive the most gorgeous Christmas cards and every year it pains me to take them down (or I don’t and they gradually grow forgotten on the side of the fridge, receiving only fleeting recognition). This year, I wanted to intentionally cherish and look at lovely photos of our family and friends throughout the…

Highlights at our Home {Nov/Dec 2013}

Eek! I never actually posted a recap of our November and December Highlights. Beware! We are long and picture-heavy here folks, but I just had to capture a glimpse of our last couple months! In November: We started off super strong with a sibling sleepover, game-night with Ang & George. Angie prepared the homemade pasta they learned on…

Thanksgiving 2013 {Tablescape}

  Yowza! Between Andy being out of town all of last week, preparing loads of home & body products for last weekend’s Christmas Open House and an emotional slew of other happenings (among them me destroying our previous computer), I haven’t been all that consistent ’round these parts. But, as we’re rapidly approaching Christmas, I didn’t squander…

Organic Home & Body Products

When Andy and I started Our {Real Food} Journey it also spurred the realization that we not only put a lot of junk in our bodies, but on them. I started dabbling in homemade organic home and body products, some of which resulted in: Hard Lotion Bars Whipped Body Butters Sugar Scrubs, and Organic Beeswax candles…

2nd Annual Christmas Shopping Open House!

I hope you and your had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! We were away at my in-laws for three days and it was so restful and relaxing. There was lots of eating, talking, playing, and reading on the couch – pretty much perfect. Now, we’re diving back into reality head first and I am gearing up…

Easter Weekend – 2012

What a wonderful (Calvin’s first) Easter weekend!     Good Friday: Andy took off of work and we had such a nice time enjoying the day as a family. We went out to coffee at the local coffee shop in Cross Plains, cleaned Andy’s office and went out to lunch before heading home to get some work…
