More Than Rubies | Jennie Rippey's blog about cooking, family, and everything else

About Jennie

I am a very proud housewife!

I strive to be worth more than rubies to my sweet husband Scott, and hope you will join me as I blog my efforts.

I've been married for 3 years and call myself Mom to Matthew William and Charlotte Claire.

I'm passionate about birth, pregnancy and advocating for parents to be the decision makers when it comes to their health care!  

I am unapologetically Jesus-loving, old-fashioned, conservative and loud about it.    

I love to cook, bake, sew and I love baseball.  

My husband is a computer genius (he designed my blog!) and I couldn't live without him.

Thanks for reading!

What If You Were a Missionary?

October 15, 2013 Family
Mamas, let's try something for a minute.  Close your tired eyes and imagine you weren't a mama, and you weren't a wife.  Instead, you were a missionary.  Imagine you lived in a foreign land - a land where the people had never heard of Jesus.  They had never read the Bible, in fact, they don't even speak English and you don't have a copy of the scriptures in their language. &nbs...

September 9, 2013 Events
My sweet little Charlotte turned one in July and we threw her a pie-themed party!   We first fell in love with the name Charlotte after watching the TV show, Pushing Daisies.  We decided to bring our love of that show into Charlotte's bedroom and her first birthday party.  In the show, Charlotte is a bee-keeper and her love interest, Ned, is a pie maker.   The main colors w...

Sweetie Pie Pennant Birthday Invitations

September 9, 2013 Crafts Events
This is more of a photo blog than a tutorial because there's not a lot to tell, but these are Charlotte's first birthday invitations.  Her party was a "pie theme" loosely inspired by Pushing Daisies.  I used blank kraft paper cards from Amazon and my {very talented} hubby did the printing and design.  We printed out a photo quality picture of pie and matted it on a piece of scrap...

Charlotte is One!

July 8, 2013 Family
Charlotte Claire... you are one! I can't believe it.  It seems like it went so quickly.  When we found out you were on your way, we were surprised and elated! Your life came at a time when I needed some cheering up and it did the trick!  Daddy and I picked out your name before we even had children, and as soon as we knew you were a girl, we knew we'd call you Charlotte.  Your ...

I Know You're Tired

June 12, 2013 Family
Dear Mamas,   I know you're tired.   I know it because you are saying it on Facebook.  You are saying it when I ask "How are you?" You are saying it in your forgetfulness and your lateness and the blank stare in your eyes.  You're saying it at the grocery store when the guy says "paper or plastic" and you just say "Uhhhhh".  But mostly, mama, I know you're tired bec...
