Thank you for this post and reminding all of us that sometimes we can all be prickly at times. It is important lesson for us to remember as adults so that we can also help our children.

The coasters are beautiful. After wondering what I was going to have my daughter make for grandparents this year for Christmas my mind is settled on these wonderful coasters.

I came over from Besty’s blog as she mentioned this post a few days ago. I really enjoyed reading this very much as it was a wonderful life lesson, plus the craft project will make such a nice gift.

The girls are so fortunate to have your excellent guidance. I like the way you teach lessons without making it seem like a lecture.

Wonderful thoughts that I expect we can all use from time to time.

Hello, I found your site through a friend of a friends blog and it is beautiful. Like you I LOVE to entertain, in fact I love it so much that I went back to culinary school at the age of 32. ( Once my two children were both in school) I Love the planning,executing and the strong friendships that opening your home to others brings. It’s amazing how a dinner party can make you feel so much more connected to friends. Thank you for sharing the lost art of entertaining with others.

Yum Yum Yum on the peanut butter fudge…can’t wait to see that recipe. Also, I love that you are teaching the girls about friendships like that and how to behave in a godly way when I’m sure it would be so tempting to be mean. I hope and pray I can teach my daughter the same lesson when she is old enough!
