Homemaking Mondays: Treasures of Home

 

Hello! 

I hope you are enjoying this winter's day. 

I found this delightful contraption at the free store this week.

I have been informed it is for lasagna! 

It's from Italy and it is silver plated zinc.  

It took some scrubbing...and could no doubt use a bit more.

The tarnishing was quite extensive.  

I just love how much effort went into creating something

beautiful to be used in the home.

I didn't use anything fancy when making

some fresh ginger snap cookies.... just a fork.

It is nice to have those simple things to enjoy.

To see out of the corner of the eye cookies go missing as 

sneaky fingers snitch as they go walking by. :) 

The shy smiles of munching lips.

The treasure of home cooked meals. 

Simple and nourishing.

A treasure of home is the time spent

in caring for all those that reside and come

within it's walls.

Another treasure is being able to take the time to enjoy the 

beauty of God's creation.

I went with my daughters for a snowshoe hike this week.

To a place we'd never gone before.

It was so beautiful to walk beneath the branches laden 

with snow and frost. 

Then out into the open of a little lake to see the sun 

send the snow into a 

blanket of glittering stars.

Once home from our walk

we rested in the warm within it's walls.

A blessing to come in out of the cold.

For all of this I am most thankful to the Lord 

for all His kindness.

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
