Mariel’s 5 Favorite Things for October ~ She Picks!

Happy October, friends! Do you love the changing weather? One of my most favorite things about Utah is the notable seasons and fall is my favorite. After a busy summer, fall just seems to have a way of relaxing me… just a bit. I love the changing and falling leaves… I love them all over my yard, it’s alway sad to have to rake them up!

Anyway… let’s see, what’s going on at my house…

Favorite Products for Teaching Slavery and the Civil War to Kids

So for last year’s homeschool, we studied slavery and the Civil War… all year long.  That’s how I love doing history.  We just take a small portion of time and spend the whole year really getting in-depth.  This year we’re doing the Industrial Revolution, Great Depression, and World War I, so you can plan on…

How to Pray ~ and thoughts on prayer

Why I Pray and How to Pray

It’s nearly midnight and I was convinced I just didn’t have time to write a blog post. It’s been a crazy hectic week. I’m still trying to adjust to our homeschool schedule and in the morning I have to teach Relief Society (the class for women) at church. So, after hitting up the local classic car show with my family, I’ve spent the rest of the day studying, praying, reading, praying some more, doing everything I can to pull this lesson together. It’s an intimidating thing to teach a class of 50 women, but greater than that is the responsibility that I feel to share with them what God wants them to hear. I truly believe that because they are there for Him, if I am in tune and prayerful, He will help me to know what I should teach. And, He does!

The Yummiest Eclair Cake

The Yummiest Chocolate Eclair Cake Ever

So, let’s just get this whole ‘yummiest EVER’ thing out of the way up front. You see, this recipe is nothing new to the world of Pinterest, but most of the recipes out there use Cool Whip and Instant Pudding, which is completely fine, but will not yield you the yummiest eclair cake ever. So take heed, my friends, and give this a try. It was carefully crafted by the experts at Cook’s Country, who meticulously create and test recipes with the best ingredients, until they’re perfection.
