more about Suzanna

Thanks for joining us. I’m Suzanna, mom to four boys and now an adorable little girl who’s growing up too fast and who will never doubt that her family loves her. I am in wonder of what God has done for me through His Son, Jesus Christ; in wonder of the precious husband He has given me, and of the family we are raising together by His grace. [Read more]

Blowing bubbles and watching them freeze is the perfect activity to take advantage of the cold temperatures many of us are having.

The top post on my blog gives more details, but, basically, you need cold temperatures and you need to blow a lot of bubbles to get any that freeze before popping. A wind-still place also helps with this.

The February calendar is available. I love the daily prompts to get us outdoors. Although with -15°F this morning, I think we'll hold off a bit.

Today is the last day to order the February physical copy, so if you want some happy mail, make sure you get your order in.

My daughter has been fascinated by Helen Keller and Louis Braille lately. While we’ve read many picture books and short chapter books about Helen Keller, the only one she had read on Braille was Louis Braille by Margaret Davidson (which I highly recommend).

Six Dots by Jen Bryant is a wonderful picture book biography about Louis Braille. Louis Braille was born seeing and was a bright child. He became blind at the age of 5 due to an accident with an awl. Because of his intense desire to read, he ended up inventing the Braille system at the age of 15.

In the last several centuries no one so young has invented something that has had such a far-reaching and lasting impact as Louis Braille. Helen Keller called him the Gutenberg for the blind.

I've been making yogurt for years and somehow I forgot the reason that you are supposed to heat the milk to 180 degrees (and then allow it to cool) before making the yogurt. Since my milk was already pasteurized, I started skipping this step and ended up with runny yogurt every time.

However, I read recently that heating the milk changes the proteins in the milk so that you end up with a firmer texture.

I was surprised by how much of a difference it made. Since we don't mind runny yogurt, I might not always do this step, but it's nice to know.

My yogurt recipe is simple. Heat the milk to 180. Allow to cool to 110. That's roughly the temperature you'd want for a baby bottle. Add 1 Tablespoon of yogurt per quart. Don't assume more is better, because in the case of yogurt it isn't.

Place somewhere warm for 6 hours or overnight. I just use the top of our hot water heater and it works out fine.

Where do you put your yogurt to keep it warm?

I saw the small note stuck to the back of my son's

I saw the small note stuck to the back of my son's bedroom door written in his neat, tight handwriting, "Lord, let me make a difference for you that is utterly disproportionate to who I am.” — David Brainerd

(Actually my son got married in July, and my daughter has taken over his room, but it will always be his in my mind.)

Isn't that what we want as parents?

We teach our children the Word and how it applies to their lives.

We guide them in their friendships and try to shelter them from evil influences.

We strive to live out Christ to our kids, and rightly so. Their sense of who God is and how He relates to us, comes from the way they see us relating to them and to God.

And yet, we all fail, again and again.

We need Christ to do a work in their lives that is "utterly disproportionate" to who we are and what we do.

So let's go on, teaching, and guiding, and living, but all the while praying, “Lord, let us make a difference for you in our children's lives that is utterly disproportionate to who we are.”

And I know that God delights to do just that, so take heart. Their hearts are in His hands and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we ask.

I’ve been looking through seed catalogs lately and dreaming of gardening. All the beautiful varieties made me think of putting together a seed catalog scavenger hunt. This printable is a great way to expose your little one to new vegetables and get them interested in gardening.

There are two different scavenger hunts included (with some overlap between the two). One focuses more on vegetable names and the other focuses more on their appearance. For the more difficult one, your child will have to read the names of the vegetable varieties as well as look at the pictures. It was perfect for my 7-year old daughter. She loved finding the different types of vegetables in our seed catalogs.

I used a seed catalog from @bakercreekseeds to put it together, but other seed catalogs would also work.

This is available as a subscriber freebie on my site. Check out the latest post for details.

“From the flower in the crannied wall to the glorious firmament on high, all the things of Nature proclaim without ceasing, ‘Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty." Charlotte Mason
