Words That Inspire
"Homemaking is surely in reality the most important job in the world. What do ships, railways, mines, cars, government, etc. exist for except that people may be fed, warmed, and safe in their own homes?...The homemaker's job is one for which all others exist." – C.S. Lewis (Jack)
"Fairytales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." – G.K. Chesterton
"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." – Jane Austen
"How can it be a large career to tell other people's children the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? No. A woman's function is laborious because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones because of the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness." – G.K. Chesterton
"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." – Jane Austen
"Religious liberty might be supposed to mean that everybody is free to discuss religion. In practice it means that hardly anybody is allowed to mention it." – G.K. Chesterton
"I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship." – Louisa May Alcott

#50 Gingerbread Icebox cake with Mascarpone Mousse
This one I thought was the most intimidating-looking recipe in the book. The image made it seem very complicated and not all that tasty (to my carmel-loving tastebuds). Boy was I wrong. One of the easiest in the book and … Continue reading
#49 Ozark Pudding Cake
I made this cake for a ladies’ night Christmas party, which was a ton of fun. Ornament exchange (so much better than white elephant!), Christmassy games, and, of course, FOOD. In the book she says that the original form of … Continue reading
#48 Honey Bee Cake, and an engagement celebrated
This week the people in my community group were very upset; I did not bring them cake. On Wednesday Ian and I celebrated the day he proposed to me, December 4th 2009. While I was living in Seattle, he surprised … Continue reading
#47 Old Vermont Burnt Sugar Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting
I had the pleasure of making this cake with my sweet cousin (in-law) Gracie. We discovered that George absolutely LOVES Gracie as we caught him laughing hysterically with her a few times. Pure joy: So Gracie did about half the … Continue reading
