This past week, I had the privilege of meeting with a group of ladies to learn about a local organization called 147 million Orphans. Did you know that that is how many orphans are in our world today? That number would populate the 9th largest country. WOW! If your like me you probably had no idea that these numbers where so high. As I have many friends who have adopted children from all over the world I was curious to hear more about what this local company was doing and how people could get involved to help. What I was surprised to find out was just how much they do, not only help the orphans for several orphanages around the world, but also what they do to help prospective parents here in America that are looking to adopt. This company is one that I believe truly gives back.
I know that this is not the kind of information that you normally find here. However, I was so blessed by the impact that these few ladies are having that I wanted to support them in the only way that I know how. By spreading the word and sharing what all they do. These ladies have personally visited each of the orphanages that they help and help families here to raise money for their own adoptions from any adoption service they choose. I believe so highly in what these ladies are doing I am adding a permanent link to their web site here. I am not an affiliate and will not make anything off of this endorsement. I simply want to help get the word out. So if you are looking for unique Christmas gifts this December, or birthday gifts for the upcoming year, then I would encourage you to check out the items they have for sale. And not only fulfill your needs, but help to fill the needs of others too.
May you all have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving.

Today my 18 year old was watching “the Chew.” A new ABC television show about cooking and eating. Which is totally her thing. Anyway, I walked in the room just in time to catch the last few minutes, and decided the information that was shared there, would be a good item for me to share here. Most of us wear aprons for cooking, and some of us probably spend a great deal of time looking for ways to add healthy food choices to our diets, without adding big bucks to our budget. Well, here are 4 things that were shared on the show today that are suppose to add overall longevity and health to your life. And, I might add all 4 items you can find at your local grocery store for under $1.00 per serving. WOW!!
Ok I tem number one was just plain and simple psyllium husk. The chef on the show, and I don’t know her name, said she just breaks open the capsules and adds the psyllium husk to anything. This helps fill you up and keeps your digestion system clean.
Number two, was ginger water or hot ginger tea after each meal. Take your fresh ginger and steep it in water, as you would tea and drink it. Ginger is a natural diuretic and help with digestion and ph balance of your system.
Number three simple molasses. They showed it today drizzled over fresh pineapple slices, but encourage people to just add it to anything that sounded good. I cant remember specifically what the added benefits were but I have heard many people speak of molasses being a good vitamin source.
And the forth thing the showed was a Kale salad. Just Kale leaves drizzled with Olive oil and add sliced red peppers. Looked Delicious.
Over all, I thought it all looked yummy and sounded good. Very simple to prepare and cheap to purchase. Surely we can all add a couple items to our everyday diets to help improve our overall health. And, if it add a few years to our lives…..Yippy!!!

I made these fantastic cinnamon rolls the other day for breakfast. They are very easy to make, quick to throw together and a big hit with the children.
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 Cup Milk, 1/4 Cup Margarine (softened), 3 1/4 cups all purpose Flour, 1 package instant yeast, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup Water, 1 egg.—1Cup Brown Sugar (packed), 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 Cup Margarine (softened) and 1/2 cup raisons (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles. remove from heat. Mix in margarine until melted and let cool until warm.
2. In a large bowl combine, 2 1/4 cups of the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. mix well. Add water, egg and milk mixture. beat well. Add remaining flour a little at a time. When dough has just pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. about 5 minutes. ** I used my kitchen aid mixer for step 2 and it worked perfect**
3. Cover dough with damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
4. in a small bowl mix brown sugar, cinnamon and softened margarine.
5. rol out dough into a 9×12 ” rectangle. Spread dough with margarine/sugar mixture. sprinkle with raisons. Roll up dough and pinch seam to seal. cut into 12 equal slices. Place in a greased 9×12 baking dish about 1/2 inch apart. cover let rise until doubled about 30 minutes.
6. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
serve warm. SUPER YUMMY!!!!

Although the official first day of Autumn is still a couple weeks away, around here the weather is beginning to change. It occurred to me that I am usually the last person to remember holiday events until they are upon me, as I am not an early shopper for anything.
However, with the weather change my memory was sparked and I realized that now would be the time of year that you might be looking for Halloween Costumes, and baking items for the upcoming Thanksgiving day festivities.
So to help all of you get your shopping done early I have decided to discount all of our aprons that are created with Natural Muslin, or Fall Print fabrics. And that means almost every apron style we have is on SALE, as we create many of our great style from muslin.
During this sale you can get 10% off our Adult Amish Apron, Junior Amish, and Children’s Amish Aprons. Regency Apron, Edwardian Apron and a couple Kitchen aprons that are created in Fall colors or prints.
WOW! What a lot of Aprons. So if you are looking for the perfect completion to your party costume or just want something new and festive for the season, come and check out what we have. And, if you don’t see what you are looking for. Send us an e-mail, we make to order and would love to create a one of a kind apron just for you.

We recently posted our Labor day sales event for our Amish style aprons. However, it just came to my attention that as an over sight only the Adult style apron was discounted.
My appologies to all the little people. So, the child and junior size apron now reflect the sale price.
The best part is….Because of this error I am also going to extend the Labor day sale to September 11th. Patriots day, in honor of our fallen heros. And as a bonus I am also discounting the ruffles and curves apron, YEA!!!
So, from all of us to all of you, praying you have a safe, blessed and Happy Holiday weekend!
