After a holiday break, it is time to take a look back at what I was writing about a year ago.  It is truly a diverse collection of posts…

Little Hands, Big Hearts  – This was the post that fueled the idea for the family devotional series I wrote throughout 2013.  Our children are amazing teachers when we stop and listen.  They have little hands and BIG hearts.

Savings Roundup: December – A quick roundup of some money saving things we do.  I wrote about saving money using our smartphones which we continue to do.  In fact, it has gotten much easier.  I also wrote about using Google to do my own appliance repair and Recyclebank which has given us some nice rewards simply for taking our recycling bin to the curb.

One week of sugar in my Dr. Pepper – 840 grams.

A Spoon full of sugar… – I think this is still one of my most haunting posts.  Just go look at the photos I took of the sugar I was consuming in Dr. Pepper.  That ‘1 week’ measurement of sugar is ASTOUNDING.  These photos are hit daily by search engines.

Favorite Things Friday: Evernote – I don’t know how I would exist without Evernote.  I keep a running journal of interesting posts and lesson ideas cataloged in the app.  Just today I have probably added 3 lesson ideas, 2 recipes, and a few other articles of various interest.  Tag your items with a few keywords and you have a powerful resource.  It is an amazing piece of organizational technology!
