Incase you haven't heard, there are new carseat regulations out. Every part of me wants to make a wise crack about them but since children's safety is involved, I won't. According to my google research: The new guidelines focus on five recommendations: All infants and toddlers should ride in a rear-facing safety seat until they ...
My Goals Update
If there has ever been a late post, this is it. This post has been "written" in my head several times but for this and that reason has not been typed and published yet. Let me back up. The first of January I encouraged you to set goals for 2011. We talked about turning the impossible into possible. I told you mine and said ...
Review: Princess with a Purpose
A few weeks ago, I encouraged everyone to purchase A Warrior Prince for God. Today, I will introduce you to the "girl" version of this book. Princess with a Purpose is very similar to its brother book. (If you haven't read the other review, be sure to before reading this one.) A little girl has a dream that she ...

Recipe: Bread Machine Whole Wheat Bread
I have two favorite smells in life. The smell of a freshly bathed baby. Be still my heart. The second favorite smell is homemade bread baking in the oven. Delicious. While it might be cool to say that I make several loaves a week by mixing and kneading, I would be lying. I haven't kneaded bread for quite some ...
Cooking with Ease…Well Realitively
I recently told my husband that I wish I didn't have to sleep. During the night while everyone else is sleeping, I could get my house cleaned, meals prepared, laundry done, and bills paid. That would leave time for my family during the day! Sadly that isn't life because this Momma needs her sleep! Since life requires ...

Helping Your Child Learn the Books of the Bible
After watching the What's in the Bible DVDs for the millionth time (okay that is an exaggeration), I have been listening to our kids talk about the books in the Bible for the first time.
