Tip of the Day

Here is the tip of the day....and it actually works :)

Do you know how you get frustrated when you get an oil stain on a piece of your clothing?

Well...

When you use dish soap and rub it on the shirt after you get it wet....and then you rinse it out...then wash and dry (don't dry it if it is a shirt that you do no put in the dryer) it. Tell me how it works for you! i tried it today of one of my shirts and it worked really well!

The Life of Anne Hutchinson

The Life of Anne Hutchinson

Anne Hutchinson was born on July 17, 1591 to Reverend Francis Marbury and his wife Bridget. Anne was the second of 13 children of the Marbury family; they lived in a small town of Alford England. Anne’s father was a minister, so Anne grew up in a very religious family. They were often called

Puritans

Anne’s father died when she was 21. She was married to William Hutchinson on August 9, 1612. William and Anne had their first child the year after they were married.

Anne had grown to love religion, just has her father did. The only problem was that women in that time period were not allowed to become ministers. Anne and William had heard about John Cotton, a very popular preacher during her time. He preached at St. Botolph’s Church, in the town of Boston, about 24 miles (a long ride or walk during that time) from Anne’s home in Alford, and soon Anne and William were traveling there every week to hear him preach.

Anne moved to America with her husband and their 11 children, because that was where John Cotton went to live (John had taught Anne a lot of things about religion when she was younger). And they even left on the same boat John Cotton did a year before them!

In the New World the men respected William and allowed him to become magistrate (like a judge). He was a successful merchant who made enough money to build his family the largest house in the colony. The Hutchins hosted religious meetings in their home to discuss the minister, before long dozens of people came.

Anne was not allowed to join the Church, but as soon as she was, she became disliked because of her beliefs. They disagreed with her so much that they put her on trial! And they finally punished her by forcing her form the colony.

Anne and one of her children were killed by an Indian raid in her settlement in 1643.
