A lot has happened in those two years. <br />
<br />
Actually I am a totally different person. Not Bruce Jenner different, just Christ centered different~!<br />

I hope to catch you all up.<br />

I have a friend who is going through a trial right now. I hate that this is happening, but I know God will bless her in it. <br />
<br />
What is your first reaction when a friend has a trial in their life? Do you pour words of encouragement on them? Bible versus? Love and affection? My first reaction is a little different, I usually want to punch the person who is causing the trial. Yes, this does seem a little harsh. But harsh I am. Now I didn't say I did it, but I do want to. My second thought is how can I make this go away for her. And as you all know we can't, but He can. He can and will. The Lord promises us in His word:<br />

When a friend has a trail. Go first to the author of all TRUTH. Seek His word and speak them to your friend. Encourage them to seek Him. Matthew tells us how to address conflict. James tell us we will be tested. Romans tells us to endure.

2 cup flour<br />
2 egg<br />
2 TBS milk<br />
<br />
Mix all together and work with hands until smooth ball. Split ball into 4 sections. Roll each section to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with a noodle (herb mincer) cutter. Place on table on towel to dry, 2 hours. Cook or freeze. Makes enough for 4 servings.<br />

<br />
What?????Why?????????? Because I want to read more, blog some and generally quit wasting so much time on other peoples business.<br />
<br />
I am a nosey person, there I said it. I like to know others business, what they are doing and why. I am not much on spreading that business, I just like to know it. Does this make me a bad person, sometimes. Does this make me a time waster, always. Could I find better uses for my time, defiantly. <br />
<br />
Here is some advice to see if you might need a facebook fast:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Track how many minutes you spend on facebook in a day.</li>
<li>See how many people on your friends list are friends in real life. If they are when was the last time you spoke face to face with them, or even on the phone?</li>
<li>Do you pray and read your bible first thing in the morning, or do you get on facebook?</li>
<li>Do you get on facebook to continue an argument from the day before?</li>
<li>Do you stay up past bedtime to see what someone will say next?</li>
<li>Do you ever say to yourself, why didn't I get ______ done today?</li>
<li>Do you feel sad or depressed after reading facebook?</li>
</ul>
<br />
Just some ideas to batter around. I waste to much time and am guilty of all of these. So I am glad to take this fast. And I pray that I will come out learning something about why facebook is so important to me and if I am pleasing the Lord with its use. <br />
<br />
Here is a good blog post on the subject: <br />

<br />
Six Attributes of God<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>God's life does not change.</li>
<li>God's character does not change.</li>
<li>God's truth does not change.</li>
<li>God's ways do not change.</li>
<li>God's purposes do not change.</li>
<li>God's Son does not change.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Please, please, stop telling me that the attributes of God are time relevant. They are not. <br />
<br />
Just because you choose not to follow His timeless Bible and trust in His word, does not lesson the fact that you will be held accountable for your choices. <br />

</div>I love noodles and I love dumplings and I love my neighbor Trudy. Trudy is what you would call a jack or jill of all trades. Anyone who lives out in the country needs a Trudy in their life. I am sorry but you cannot have mine. God gave her to me. And I praise Him daily for that.<br />
<br />
Trudy taught me how to make noodles from scratch. Somewhere deep in my mind I think I knew how, but she showed me and taught me and I did it and it was wonderful and easy.<br />
<br />
This is what you need:<br />
<br />
1 egg (i use duck eggs cause I can)<br />
1 TBS of water<br />
1 cup or so of flour<br />
a pinch of salt<br />
<br />
<br />
Process: mix your egg and water in a small bowl. Take the cup of flour and dump it on a clean counter. Make a well in the flour, add the salt in the well. Then add the egg water mixture to the well. Stir and work the ingredients together until it is a good dough consistency, add flour if needed. Dough should be sticky but workable. Then take a golf ball size of dough and roll it out with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness for noodles and a 1/4 inch thickness for dumplings. Use a noodle cutter or a knife. Keep doing until dough is gone. Separate noodles on paper towel. Let dry for about an hour. Then add to boiling broth or water. Or you can dry noodles overnight and put in baggies the next day and freeze. This recipe is for about 1 batch or a cup of noodles. I make mine in batches of 12 it is just easier. When having company I make a 1/2 batch for each person who is going to eat. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok enough of the pictures, lol. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">About Christmas time I decided, through much blog reading, to start looking for alternatives for washing my hair. I am a very lazy person when it comes to hair. The Lord God knew this and gave me hair that is pretty easy to do. I wash it, let it dry some and then blow dry it. I usually pull it off my face with a headband or in a ponytail. I was starting to notice that it was getting dry and a bit frizzy on the ends. Naturally curly hair is very hard to care for. It gets too dry or too oily very fast and can very easily become a rats-nest? About this time I bought my usual round of soap from my friend Leah Terry at<span style="color: blue;"> </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/riversedgestore?ref=seller_info" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">River's Edge Country Store</span></a> on Etsy. I decided, after asking her if she thought it would work, to try to wash my hair with her Lavendar Lace bar soap. I loved it. It did lather, it smelled good and my hair got clean. Actually cleaner than normal, squeeky clean. But I worried that it might take some of the curl out. As the pictures my dh took today prove, not so. If anything it has made my hair curlier. I do still use a conditioner about every third time (one made with goats milk) but I am so pleased with using this soap instead of store bought shampoo. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a good example of thinking outside of the box, just not too outside of the box. I had read about shampoo's not being good for you. Shampoo's drying out your hair and they can be very expensive. So I decided to make a switch. And this is where I landed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I want to encourage you. Is there something you want to change in your life. Just a little something. Think outside the box. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ask yourself: Can I do this different? Can I be more healthy? More thrifty?* </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wanna try something new? Different? Out of the box? Go for it. I hope to challenge you to try something new. Like making butter, or washing your hair with natural bar soap.** Let me know how it goes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Blessings sweet friends, Tracylea</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*River's Edge Soap is about $5 dollars including shipping. I am still using the same bar I bought 3 months ago. I actually expect it to last at least 6 more months, with every day washing.</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">**I do want to say that I used this soap as shampoo all on my own. It is advertised as natural handmade soap. Not shampoo. If you try and don't get the same results, I will be sorry, but Leah is not making these claims I am. I have used River's Edge soaps for about a year and have had fantastic results from them. You may make your own soap or purchase them from anyone, but I can only vouch for my hair and River's Edge Natural Soap.</span> </div>Tracylea@AMothersApronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07928553331419037991noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614759939095762.post-48851987912751368522012-03-02T06:11:00.000-08:002012-03-02T06:11:57.668-08:00Making Butter<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hello friends.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday we made butter, it was so easy, and so worth it. Everyone should try!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Needed: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 quart ball jar with lid and ring</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 pint organic heavy cream</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 TBS sea salt</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To do:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pour pint of cream into jar. Seal jar tight with lid and ring. Start shaking, shake some more, and more............... 20 minutes later........you should notice the cream getting solid. Shake some more but much harder and faster..........5 minutes later...........you should see a large chub of yellow butter surrounded by butter milk. (we watched a movie and all took turns shaking) You are now done. Pour the buttermilk into a clean jar and save for later in fridge, don't forget to label it with name and date. Take butter from jar and pat into ball under cold running water. Place in sealed container in fridge, be sure to label with name and date. Good of 7 days if it last that long.</span><br />

We are now at our little farm. All moved in. And preparing for winter. <br />

We have added 4 kitties to our family.<br />

Hello sweet friends. This is the newest member of our family, Lainey. She is a joy, and minus the kitty chasing, fun to have around. <br />
<br />
Other than filling out paper work and having homes inspected we are still waiting to move. We went to the farm yesterday to see if it was cooler, it was not. <br />
<br />
High yesterday 98, high today 99 equals dogs in the garage all day. I really want to go to Target, but it is too hot. What a baby. I had a friend post that we should remember the wonderful folks in the military. I will stop whining now and be humbled. <br />
<br />
I look forward to being at the farm all the time. My current home is a mess and I hate it. I like order, well my version of order. Possibly 25 days until the move. Hmmmm, better get packing!<br />
<br />

<br />
Hello dear friends. We have a lot going on around the homestead this week and month! I am sorry I have been AWOL~!<br />
<br />
As a few of you know we put our home on the market and sold it in the same week. We then bid on a house in the "country" with 4 acres and got it. So we have been in the hurry up and wait process of buying a house. (Sisters, when I say we, I mean The Lord leading the family)<br />
<br />
The change of scenery for my family will also be signaling a change here at A Mother's Apron. I am going to try to follow our ups and well ups of moving from the suburbs to the country. I currently have 1/3 of my yard in gardens, 1/3 in animals and 1/3 in home and buildings. This is easy when you only have 1/3 of an acre. When we move I will have 4 acres and I have big plans. Yes, a 1 acre garden of flowers, berries and vegetables, 1 acre of animals and 1 acre of homestead! We will see! <br />
<br />
Please plan on joining me! <br />
<br />
Oh, and I will be updating here more often. I have left facebook, future blog post, and will be keeping in touch here. Also the format will change some, but I will still be posting on all topics. <br />
<br />

I am starting a new series for Monday mornings called "Perspective". This will be an attempt, by me, to settle some things from my different perspective. Or, to try to convict some of the error in their ways, lol, without punching them in the face. <br /><br /><br /><strong>Time magazine has 25 million subscribers</strong><br /><br />Ladies, would you like Time magazine put a picture of your daughter on the cover? In her bathing suit? How about your son without his shirt? Or in the bathtub? <br /><br /><br /><strong>Facebook has 250 million subscribers</strong><br /><br />Let me say that again, 250 million men, women and perverts.<br /><br />Get the idea? <br /><br />Think over the pictures you post to your facebook account. Look through your child's facebook pictures. Eliminate anything you wouldn't want 250 million people to see. Do not become complacent with your child's innocence. Do not sell your child's virtue for a "awww isn't she cute in her skin tight bikini" moment. <br /><br />Blessings, Tracylea<br /><br />(this is a small part of the "radical" I took the poll about, lol)Tracylea@AMothersApronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07928553331419037991noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614759939095762.post-8250451813843541532011-05-28T07:25:00.000-07:002011-05-28T07:36:30.680-07:00Blogs I visit daily: Blessed Homemaking<span style="font-size:130%;">Hello friends. How are you? We are busy here in the Slinkard household. Weddings, graduations and possibilities!<br /><br />I have been wanting to direct you to a friends blog, <a href="http://blessedhomemaking.blogspot.com/">Blessed Homemaking</a>, for some time! It truly is one of the prettiest around, her writing is God centered and Mrs. Q is an inspiration to me! Here is some info about her and her blog: </span><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><em><span style="color:#663333;">~Hello! Thank you for stopping by to visit me here on Blessed Homemaking. The purpose of this blog is to encourage you in the role of being a keeper at home. I hope you will stay awhile and take a little rest here with me. Enjoy your visit and please drop me a line to let me know you were here.~<br /><br />I am a homemaker, wife, & homeschooling mom of 6 wonderful children here on earth and two in Heaven with Jesus. We have 5 girls and 1 boy. They are a source of great joy for me. I am by no means an expert on homemaking, but I love the title "Keeper at Home" that God has given me and would love to share my adventures and learning experiences I have with you along the way on this most sacred journey.<br /><br /><br /><br />I love to draw and paint when I have time, as well as make other things by hand. You may find some of my artwork at my art blog Art for the King. I also have an Etsy shop and a few things for sale on Zazzle.<br /><br />If you need to contact me, you may email me at blessedhomemaking@gmail.com.<br /><br />Thank you so much for taking the time to share with me and for stopping by to say hello. I do love my readers' comments. May God bless you.<br /><br />Mrs. Q<br /><br /><br />Thank God, O women for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen in it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it.<br /><br />Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled.<br /><br />~ T. DeWitt Talmage<br /><br /><br />Christian motherhood means dedicating your entire life in service of others. It means standing beside your husband, following him, and investing in the lives of children whom you hope will both survive you and surpass you. It means forgoing present satisfaction for eternal rewards. It means investing in the lives of others who may never fully appreciate your sacrifice or comprehend the depth of your love. And it means doing all these things, not because you will receive the praise of man — for you will not — but because God made you to be a woman and a mother, and there is great contentment in that biblical calling.<br />~Doug Phillips<br /><br /><br />I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him.<br /><br />~Lydia Sherman</span></em></div><br /><div align="center"><em></em></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><em></em></div><br /><div align="left">Please visit her <a href="http://blessedhomemaking.blogspot.com/">here</a> and let her know I sent you!</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">Blessings, Tracylea</div>Tracylea@AMothersApronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07928553331419037991noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414614759939095762.post-52093370965826265622011-05-26T19:10:00.001-07:002011-05-26T19:14:55.130-07:00Favorite Blogs<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXm42lPlCFyC5-eh85pRR0qO0vzPyZCVuEH9zzMWmdOD2pwnPtdxSGSmzdBT9P2FzoRjCCuAnR5EVxCAiS3B3rNBrB7e1-kSr9M1OnuJVCvFfmdsFvEBpJ9pxa89vjz9MG6huqLdtE7qxG/s1600/alpine+meadow+by+john+mcwhirter.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611213475058380978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXm42lPlCFyC5-eh85pRR0qO0vzPyZCVuEH9zzMWmdOD2pwnPtdxSGSmzdBT9P2FzoRjCCuAnR5EVxCAiS3B3rNBrB7e1-kSr9M1OnuJVCvFfmdsFvEBpJ9pxa89vjz9MG6huqLdtE7qxG/s320/alpine+meadow+by+john+mcwhirter.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Hello sweet friends.

I hope by meeting me, talking to me and reading my work that you see how wonderful being a servant of the Most High God is.<br /><br />This is what I want to be.......................I am not quite there yet.<br /><br />What do you want to be for Him?
