Thanks for hanging in there waiting for me to come back! I wasn’t planning on being away from Kitchen Stewardship for an entire week (yikes!), but we stayed an extra day with my husband’s family over the weekend, had time to literally unpack and re-pack, then went to my family’s a day earlier than planned.

You should not be reading blogs today. This is posted on Christmas Eve, not because I expect many people to be reading today, but because it’s going to be up until at least Monday, and I thought I should have something fun for y’all to read if blogging is your down-time activity over the weekend.

December 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Prayerful Kitchen
What are you doing this week to make Christmas holy? I have to admit, I started the novena to the Infant Jesus one day late, then forgot the second day. So I’m not doing that one. I need to refocus (again, didn’t I just do that Friday?) on the point of the holiday. Join me? [...]
