Wrensday: Daily Bread


This is the pantry in my kitchen.

I painted the door interiors with chalkboard paint so I could write my menu or grocery list in chalk.


But, I've found something better to showcase than menus and groceries. . .


Our family has witnessed the truth of these verses over and over again during the past year and I thought it fitting to keep the words printed where we see them several times a day. 

 Every time we grab something to feed our physical bodies from the pantry, we see the words that nourish our souls.

    Ok - so now I'm jealous of your.....pantry!!! Love the chalkboard. WHEN I get my sewing room I will have one of those. Question. Do the glass jar protect flower, sugar, etc. from buggy friends? It seems like once or twice a year I fight these little teeny black beetle things in my pantry. It has me so paranoid that I keep a lot of my stuff (flower, sugar, pasta, etc.) in my freezer or extra fridge in the garage which isn't always convenient. And if they do, where do you get the giant jars??? :)

    I bought the large jars at Farm Fresh in their canning section. Ball makes them. I think I paid about $14.00 for 6 of them - they come in a case. I got them because I was having a problem with bugs. I've found the screw on lids are better than the snap on lids for keeping them safe. Also, I keep my flour and sugar in the freezer until I need to refill my canisters - just in case. I've read that most of the bugs that get into your pantry come from the packaging and product themselves and not from your house. By freezing the grains/flour/sugar first, you help eliminate that problem.

    LOVE this!! I don't have a pantry in my kitchen, but I did have a small "jelly cupboard" (at least that's what my mother-in-law calls it) I recently painted it & painted the inside of the door with chalkboard paint as well for grocery list! I LOVE IT! Your pantry looks great!!

    What a great, functional, idea! I'm going to put this on my "someday" list for when I get a house.

How To Make Your Own Exercise Bike For Next To Nothing

Remember back in April when I had a kidney transplant?  Well, the kidney is doing great (thanks, Cathy , for taking such good care of it when you owned it).  There was one little glitch, however.  During surgery, the retractors they used caused some nerve damage in my right leg.  When I woke up from surgery, I couldn't move or feel my leg.  The docs felt like the feeling would come back but the paralysis had them stumped.  A visit to a neurologist ruled out a stroke and a CT scan showed some fluid which was pressing on L4 and L5 (medical talk which means I couldn't feel or move part of my leg).  The prognosis is good and I'm recovering pretty quickly.  In fact, I've left my cane behind and I'm walking freestyle without falling.  My next goal is to be able to drive. I've been itching to get back to exercising (physical therapy doesn't count) because my medication causes me to gain weight and I need to burn some calories.  Running? - nope.  Walking? - can&

A Designer's Secret For A Taller Bed

  Several years ago Hubs and I spent almost a year looking for a bedroom set that we both loved.  He wanted clean lines and dark wood.  I wanted curves and a "tall" bed.  Of course, there was no perfect bedroom set but we were able to compromise on a set that we both liked.  My main wish was for a bed that I could "climb up into".  The problem with that wish was that most of the "tall" beds were four poster beds and Hubs was not in the mood for that.  We found a Thomasville bed on display at a local furniture store and it fit the clean lines that Hubs wanted and it was "tall"  enough to suit me.  The problem was that once we received the bed we ordered in our home, it wasn't as tall as I had remembered it being.  My heart sunk!  I went back to the furniture store to look at the display.  Their bed was much taller than our bed.  Hmmm. . . what was different? I got nosey and lifted up the comforter on the bed.  It revealed their secret

Plans For A DIY Exercise Bike Stand

  Thank you to so many of you who emailed me about plans for the DIY Exercise Bike Stand .  I apologize that it has taken me so long to get the measurements to you, but they are finally here!   The wood was purchased at Home Depot and the bike pegs were purchased at Walmart in the bike section.    The bike we used for this project is a 24" 12 speed bike (I'm a shorty).  I used the hardest gear while riding, but this set-up does not allow you to really get much resistance (for building muscle).  It was great for getting my legs moving after some nerve damage.  I also wanted to burn calories and get my heart rate up and this did the trick.    If you have any questions, just shoot me an email.
