This type of art style is the cutestđ€đ!
I was having such trouble until my mom gave me a life hack. Make fake sour dough. Basically you have your starter, but use yeast as well. Im not a natural baker, even though I can cook, but after using this cheat, I've started to use more sourdough in all my baked goods which must be healthier I figure... At least it's a good starting point for someone who kept failing - me.
Hey Trads and stay at homes!
Is anyone good at making sourdough starter or anything sourdough? Do you ladies have any tips or experiences to share? Iâm really interested in starting my baking journey especially with sourdough but Iâm scared of the process sourdough is. If you canât tell cooking is more my thing!! Leave a comment please if so xoxo!

Finding God in the Ordinary: Small Moments of Grace
I used to think finding God meant searchingâpraying harder, looking for signs, waiting for something big. But lately, Iâve realized Heâs already here, woven into the fabric of my everyday life as a wife, a mother, a homemaker.
I see Him in the sleepy weight of my baby against my chest in the early morning light. In the giggles of my toddler as she chases butterflies in the garden. In the rhythm of kneading bread, folding tiny clothes, stirring soup on the stove while little hands tug at my skirt.
Motherhood has slowed me down in ways I never expected. It has taught me to find holiness in the mundaneâthe sticky fingers, the bedtime prayers, the countless moments that once felt ordinary but now feel sacred. Itâs in these moments that I hear Him whisper: I am with you.
Maybe finding God isnât about doing more, but about noticing more. Slowing down. Breathing in His presence. Trusting that even in the quiet repetition of daily life, grace is abundant.
Over the seven jeweled hills, beyond the seventh wall, in the cottage of the seven dwarfs, dwells Snow White, fairest one of all.

Lent is a special time to spend with God. The three pillars of Lent are Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. It is a time to repent of your sins, recommit to a life of faith, and contemplate what Jesus did for you on the cross.
I'm home with the flu so have been watching Desperate Housewives. Can I just say HOW much I love Bree? đ

1. Choose Joy Itâs true: A happy wife makes a happy life. Please donât use moodiness as an attempt to manipulate your man, but in all things rejoice, because thatâs the right thing to do. (1 Thessaonians 5:16;Â Philippians 4:4)
2. Honor His Wishes Give weight to what your husband thinks is important. Make those things a priority that matter most to him, whether itâs having dinner ready when he gets home from work or keeping the house tidy or limiting computer time. Donât make him ask twice. (Philippians 2:4)
3. Give Him Your Undivided Attention Yes, I know that women are masters of multi-tasking, but when your husband is speaking to you, make a point to lay other tasks aside, look into his eyes, and listen to what he is saying with the goal of understanding and remembering his words.
4. Donât Interrupt Have you ever been around a person who wonât let you finish a sentence? That gets old fast. Even if you think you already know what your husband is going to say, allowing him to say it without cutting him off mid-sentence shows both respect and common courtesy.
5. Emphasize His Good Points Sure, he has his faults (as do you), but dwelling on them will only make you (both) miserable. Choose instead to focus on those qualities in your husband that you most admire.
6. Pray for Him Faithfully lift up your husband in prayer every day, and you will likely notice a transformation not only in him, but in yourself, as well.
7. Donât Nag Your husband is a grown man, so donât treat him like a two-year-old.
8. Be Thankful Cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Donât take your husband for granted. Be appreciative for everything he does for you, whether big or small. Always say thank you.
9. Smile at Him Smiles spread happiness. Smiles have even been shown to create happiness. Smiles are contagious. And a smile makes any woman more beautiful.
10. Respond Physically Did you know that the way you respond (or donât respond) to your husbandâs romantic overtures has a profound effect on his self-confidence? Donât slap him away when he tries to hug you or make excuses when heâs in the mood. Your enthusiastic cooperation and reciprocation will not only assure him of your love, but will make him feel well-respected, too.
11. Eyes Only for Him Donât compare your husband unfavorably to other men, real or imaginary. It is neither fair nor respectful and will only breed trouble and discontent. Avoid watching movies or reading books that might cause you to stumble in this area, as well.
12. Kiss Him Goodbye Success and respect often go hand-in-hand, so be sure to send him off right, and donât forget to greet him with a kiss when he returns home, for good measure.
13. Prepare His Favorite Foods Although the rest of the family is not overly-fond of spaghetti, my husband loves it, so I try to make it at least two or three times a month as a way to honor him. Next time youâre planning meals, give special consideration to your husbandâs preferences.
14. Cherish Togetherness I love to sit near my husband, whether at home or away. Our church shares potluck dinners every Sunday afternoon, and although the men and women normally sit separately to visit, I like to position myself close enough to my husband that I can listen to the conversation, as I think everything he says is so interesting. At home, Iâll take my book or handwork to whatever room in the house heâs working in, just to be close to him, because I enjoy his company, even when neither of us is talking.
15. Donât Complain Nobody wants to be around a whiner or complainer. It is grating on the nerves.
16. Resist the Urge to Correct I know one wife whose spouse canât tell a story without her stopping him fifteen times to correct inconsequential details: âIt wasnât Monday evening, it was Monday afternoonâŠ. It wasnât blue, it was turquoiseâŠ. He didnât ride the bus, he took a shuttle.â Please. Please. Please. Donât ever do that to your husband â or to anyone else, for that matter!
17. Dress to Please Him Take care of your appearance. Choose clothes your husband finds flattering, both in public and around the house.
18. Keep the House Tidy To the best of your abilities, try to maintain a clean and orderly home. Seek to make it a haven of rest for your entire family.
19. Be Content Do not pressure your husband to keep up with the Jonses. Take satisfaction in the lifestyle he is able to provide for you.
20. Take His Advice Do not dismiss his opinions lightly, especially when youâve asked for his counsel in the first place. Make every effort to follow your husbandâs advice.
21. Admire Him Voiced compliments and heartfelt praise are always welcome, but you should also make it your habit to just look at your husband in a respectful, appreciative way. Think kind thoughts toward him. Heâll be able to see the admiration in your eyes.
22. Protect His Name Honor your husband in the way you speak of him to family and friends. Guard his reputation and do not let minor disagreements at home cause you to speak ill of him in public. Live in such a way that it will be obvious to others why your husband married you in the first place.
23. Forgive His Shortcomings Please do not hold grudges against your husband. Do not allow a root of bitterness or resentment find a home in your heart. Forgive your husband.
24. Donât Argue You are not always right, and you do not always have to have the last word. Be the first to say, âIâm sorry.â Be willing to accept the blame. It takes two to argue.
25. Follow His Lead If you want your husband to lead, you must be willing to follow. Neither a body nor a family can function well with two heads. Learn to defer to your husbandâs wishes and let final decisions rest with him.
