Product Review - The Scentsy Company

Product Review – The Scentsy Company

Growing up we had a lot of cats in the house. We were a cat loving family! However, all of our guests would comment on how lovely my Mom’s house smelled. They never could smell the cats. Part of that was she kept a very clean house and the other part was she loved candles. I remember her telling me spend money on good smelling candles. Today, instead of using candles, I spend my money on lovely…

Pinterest is a wonderland or wasteland of ideas depending on what you run into. This year, I’m doing an experiment. I will take a Pinterest recipe and give it a try for myself and blog about it later. At this point you may want to pray for my husband who will be my guinea pig in this project.

The first recipe I tackled: Chicken Yakisoba

The Advice My Twenty Year Old Self Needed

The Advice My Twenty Year Old Self Needed

  This month, a reader sent in a topic that she would like for me to write about. The topic intrigued me and I’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks now.  Below is the reader’s suggestion:

“Thought : I love asking students reflective questions like ” if you could go back 10 years (or more) & give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?”

I Love Safeway. Maybe, Too Much

I Love Safeway. Maybe, Too Much

I am a huge fan of Safeway. Some of you may not have a Safeway…I am so sorry. This month, my husband set up a budget for our family and we are trying our hardest to stick with it. One area I would like to improve on is the grocery shopping budget. I have been looking up coupons and sticking to a list.  It’s not easy, but I’ve noticed a difference. Safeway has made it easier for me to save money. …

Decorate In Gold - This Month's Shopping Spree

Decorate In Gold – This Month’s Shopping Spree

I’ve recently noticed a trend in gold accents returning to décor. For years I have been a fan of everything silver, but recently, I have taken an interest in adding a bit of gold in our living room. Most of my home tends to lean towards black, white, and blue, (I just read this and realized that is the color of a bruise), but I thought for the living room it would be nice to make it a little bit…

Meeting Together In Fellowship

Meeting Together In Fellowship

I’m not sure where I would be without my Ladies Bible Study. Not only has it helped me meet other women from this area, but spiritually it has been a blessing, too. One topic that was brought up among the ladies was about women getting together and discussing the current Bible Study. One thing that has resonated in my mind was when one lady suggested that God wants us to meet together to protect…

Yes, I'm Mom Enough

Yes, I’m Mom Enough

A couple of weeks ago, I posed a question to all of you about the rising competition between mothers. Many of you gave me some wonderful feedback and brought to light something that often isn’t talked about concerning pregnancy and new babies…feeling like an inadequate mother. Through the “Are You Mom Enough?” movement and today’s pervasive social media, we are destroying the opportunity to help…

The holidays are over and we are all feeling the hangover from Christmas.
