We had a blissful few weeks of being virus free. But, alas, all good things must come to an end. We had another cold go through the house this week. It was actually pretty minor as colds go, thankfully.
Being sick translates to extra movies and video game playing. I know I can't concentrate when I'm sick, so I don't expect them to keep up with all their school work while they are sick.
Unfortunately, we are all behind in our Bible in 90 Days reading. We haven't quit, we are still working towards finishing in 90 days.
The kids in Bible Drill are still studying hard, as well. Competitions start in about a month! We really need to spend some time drilling here at home. The extra drill practice really makes a difference when it's time to compete.
We started another puzzle this week. It's a Winnie the Pooh mosaic. Where the big picture is made up of lots of little pictures. It sure looks hard! I'm thinking this one will be taking us awhile!
Our Sabbath meal is almost ready. We like to have a big meal on Friday night to start the Sabbath. Hannah, 15, has become an expert challah bread maker. We don't normally have dessert, but we have started to with our Sabbath meal to give the meal an extra special feel. Abby, 12, made pumpkin pie today. Now, if I can just learn how to say the candle lighting blessing in Hebrew!
A few days ago, I shared a few Homeschool Links. Stop by and take a look.
I've looked at quite a few recipes, and this is the one the recipe that I have come up with after reading all those, and trying a couple.
Homemade Ranch Dressing
1 cup sour cream 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 to 1 cup milk (can use buttermilk) 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or you can use fresh garlic, finely minced) 3/4 teaspoon onion powder (or you can use fresh onion finely minced) 1 1/2 teaspoons dill 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon pepper
Mix all ingredients together and chill. You can eat it right away, but I prefer to let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours for the flavors to blend before using.
If your using fresh garlic and onion, you'll probably want to reduce the amount. Half would be a good starting point, taste, and then add more if you desire.
You can adjust the amount of milk you use. If you want a dip, use less milk, if you want a thinner dressing, use the full cup.
I think this is so much better than store bought ranch dressing. However, there are a couple of ranch eater kids in my house that prefer store bought over the home made dressing. Kids!
Are you a ‘Doing it all’ or ‘Do what matters’ woman?
Whether a stay at home; or working mom, an airplane-hopping executive, an empty-nester caring for multiple generations or a single juggling high demands of career and personal life, today's fast-paced modern world leaves women gasping for balance. We as modern Christian women want to look to the Bible for guidance on how to manage our lives -- but because the world of women looks so different today than it did when the Bible was written, it is hard to find chapter and verse that seems to apply to our situation today.
Thankfully, God has given us exactly that timeless, unchanging guidance for how to find peace, clarity, and God's best for our lives once we know where to look! The Life Ready Woman: Thriving in a Do-It-All World, reveals a profound biblical roadmap for how each of us can find the abundant life we are longing for, rather than the stressful, torn, how-do-I-balance-it-all life we often feel like we are trying to keep up with today. Actually being a LifeReady Woman means that you are clear about your life, bold in your faith, and able to find God’s best for you, and the end result will be that you not only survive but thrive in our do-it-all world.
God has given every wonderfully unique woman different skills and abilities, different desires, and different temperaments -- and every woman around the planet and through the ages is certainly living in different circumstances. But no matter what a woman’s life looks like, the Bible says that God has an individual mission and plan that He’s carefully designed for each of us. And He wants us to find it. Starting January 2011, The Life Ready Woman and the Life Ready Woman Video Series will help every wonderfully unique woman to thrive as she identifies and courageously pursues God's unique design and callings for her. LifeReady Woman puts you on a roadmap to make decisions that will lead to relief, delight, and fulfillment instead of regret.

MY REVIEW:
Have you ever felt over-whelmed with everything that you have to get done in a day? I know I do sometimes. If you have, The Life Ready Woman is the book for you.
The Life Ready Woman will help you sort out the important things in your life. Who did God design you to be? What has He called you to do?
As Christian women, we don't have to do it all! We only have to do what God has called us to do. For most of use, God has called us to be wives and mothers. There is a chapter on The Biblical Definition of of Womanhood, Marriage and Family. It is a much different definition than the world gives.
The Life Ready Woman will help you get over the do-it all syndrome and help you become a do what matters woman.
I also get to give a copy of The Life Ready Woman to one of you!
