Save Time and Money with Once a Month Cooking
Written by Sherry Frewerd | 0 CommentsAt the end of a busy day, what’s the one thing you’re looking forward to? Relaxing on the couch, taking a long bath, reading a good book…cooking a home cooked meal? Yeah, right. Unless you consider cooking a treat, which most tired mothers do not, the idea of coming up with yet another healthy and tasty dinner is just too much, and certainly not fun. Full Article
When Loved Ones Hit the Road: How to Handle it When Someone You Love Can’t Handle Your Child’s Illness
Written by Kimberly Ehlers | 0 CommentsMy 12 year old son, Seth, was born with multiple congenital heart defects. His second (and, hopefully, last!) open-heart surgery took place almost 2 years ago. During the whole process of getting Seth through his surgery and recovery, I was deeply hurt by a person I love. This person hadn’t called or visited during his hospital stay even though they lived near by. I felt abandoned and shocked that they of all people would hit the road when they were needed most. It was around 2 weeks after surgery before they finally called to see how Seth was, and it was a strange call – something had come between us. Full Article
Smart Women Practice Quality Not Quantity
Written by Joy Chudacoff | 0 CommentsThis article is about realizing that quality time is much better than the quantity of time we spend in all areas of our lives. Give yourself permission to schedule quality time and really “be” with your family and in your business rather than being there physically but not present. In this case, more is not always better. I find scheduling this “special” time with my family and in my business makes a big difference in the quality of my relationships.

Written by Tammy Paquin | 0 CommentsI never knew my husband’s grandmother. I never knew her like he did because by the time we started dating, Grandma N. was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s.

My Grandmother’s Old World Recipes Survive the Test of Time!
Written by Carrie Gamble | 0 CommentsIt’s hard for me to believe, but April 1, 2009 marked the 100th anniversary of my grandmother Elizabeth Rose von Hohen’s birth! When you think about 100 years going by, especially this past 100 years, it’s mind blowing to think of the changes she witnessed. As a little girl Elizabeth would take the reins of the buggy and ride down a long narrow lane to the country road which lead to the farm where she would pick up milk for her family. She took pride in the responsibility given to her at such a young age. As the oldest child in the family, Elizabeth’s responsibilities included cooking and baking as well. Imagine the average nine year old nowadays cooking for her family! Ten decades later, I am so proud to have had such a wonderful grandmother and even more proud to have the opportunity to share her recipes with you!
I am excited to include two healthy recipes in this article which have been in our family well over 100 years. Both recipes include basic ingredients and simple instructions. They are Hungarian Peasant Meal and Oatmeal Cookies, which were brought here from the old country by my great-grandmother, Anna. The Hungarian Peasant Meal is a dish I was unaware of until we started putting together our family cookbook. My mother told me it was a staple for their family back in the 1930s and 1940s because it was inexpensive. She said she has vivid memories of my grandfather putting a big lump of butter on the boiled red potatoes. He would then break off a piece of potato and take a scoop of the cottage cheese mixture and pop it into his mouth! Delicious! This is so yummy ~ you just have to try it! It is quick and extremely easy to make. In fact, this is the perfect recipe for a beginner to try. Full Article

One of the biggest obstacles I have seen other Work At Home Mom’s struggle with is having little to no support from their biggest cheering squad which should be their spouses or family members.
