Favorite Bible Verse

I was Tagged by Beth to tell my favorite bible verse and say why its my favorite. I like a lot of Bible verses but one of my favorites is,
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

I like this verse because I worry about things that I shouldn't be worrying about.  This verse reminds me to not let my heart be trouble or afraid because he
 gives me peace.



Here is Mandy's favorite bible verse 😉
Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man regardeth  the life of his beast...





What is your favorite Bible verse?

Tips for Getting your Dog to "Come"




   Have you ever called your dog and your dog turns and looks at you then takes off running in the opposite direction? Unfortunately this happens to me way too often. So I thought I would share a couple tips on how to get your dog to come back. 
   The first thing you can try is to call her again and when she looks at you,  you turn around and start running away from her.
If that doesn't work call her again until she looks at you then drop to the ground (curl up in a ball or just lay flat). She will think you're playing a game and will want to play along. 
   When you're dog comes always give her lots of praise or/and a treat.
   These two tips I just shared never fail with Mandy. I always feel kinda sneaky after I do one of these.







   What I have found out with Mandy is that she needs a variety of treats, or she will get board. :D
Here are a couple of Treat Variety packs you can buy for your dog to make training Fun and yummy.

A Typical Day

An average day in the life of Alice (and Mandy).
Thanks Lily for tagging me!

I usually wake up around 8:00 and do my devotions.
Then I have breakfast.
Morning Chores

 Clean the kitchen.😊

 School then
We have Lunch around 12-12:30.

 Practice music. I play the violin and piano.

In my free time I like to crochet!

Snack time.
We just got a BIG popcorn machine, so we have been eating a lot of popcorn!

Lately we have been enjoying our skating pond.

Chores again.
Then we eat Supper!😊

Before bed we snuggle on the couch and read.

Show a typical day of your life with ten pictures.

Bath time!


I try to give Mandy a bath at least once a week. She hates it so I usually end up carrying her into the shower (but once she's in she stands still). :) I love how fluffy Mandy gets after she is dry! 





Addalee likes to brush Mandy after her bath. :)
