The 30 Day Shred Facebook Support Group

January 26, 2012

I was in a state of blissful ignorance when I ordered the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred on a late September day. I’d heard it was effective, but not much else. I lost my innocence in a hurry when I ran out and threw up in the middle of Day 1. Yes, I did. Obviously, [...]

My Word for 2012: Create

January 2, 2012
Thumbnail image for My Word for 2012: Create

Create is the word that’s been on my heart recently and suddenly I see it everywhere. Creating was God’s first recorded act: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” ~Genesis 1:1 The New Testament begins with a description of Jesus Christ as the Word: “In the beginning was the Word, and the [...]

Favorite (inexpensive) Things

December 3, 2011

I love the favorite things party idea guest post at Nester’s this week. At the bottom is a linky for posts about favorite (under $30) items, so I thought I’d play! I am hopelessly addicted to Raspberry Lemonade Blast Blistex. It smells and tastes delicious (not that you’re supposed to eat your lip balm—which I [...]

31 Days of Real Life: On the Lam

October 8, 2011

When I made the last-minute decision to join the other 31 Dayers for October, and the even more last-minute choice of “real life” as a topic, I was concerned about having enough blogging material. Would my life—my. real. life.—be interesting enough to fill 31 days? I really hoped so until last night, when it got [...]

One of My Tags: Inspire

September 13, 2011

I assign keywords to my photos upon import to my computer. My blog posts are given both tags and categories. Years ago I received a bracelet as a gift with the word “inspire” on it. I saw it as a personal call to action in my rolls as a mother, homeschool teacher, blogger, and friend. [...]

Great Deals and a New Product at DaySpring

July 13, 2011

I ordered each of my daughters one of my favorite tote bags, each in a different design, from DaySpring at the end of April because they were on sale. I later found out that these bags are on clearance—when they’re gone, they’re gone—so I ordered three more. Now I’m considering stocking up for teacher gifts [...]

Not Ready to Un-Camouflage

April 3, 2011

My mother called winter clothes camouflage clothing. Jeans and turtlenecks don’t tell your secrets. They mask those extra pounds: the arms, legs, and tummy that didn’t benefit from a resolution to start exercising this January. I’m having trouble getting excited about the warmer temperatures predicted for this week: tomorrow we’re on target for a record [...]

National {not really} Take a Risk Day with The Nester

March 24, 2011

You may have noticed that I link to The Nester fairly often. Not only is she sweet, funny, and someone I consider a friend, she constantly inspires me to take risks. Sometimes just imagining you can do something you wouldn’t have thought possible is a risk in and of itself. This week Nester has posted [...]

Following My Bliss

February 11, 2011

I love BlissDom, where blogging moms feel like rock stars for four days. In an everyday life filled with cooking, cleaning, laundry, and homeschooling, it’s a fun and welcome change of routine. (Thanks Alli and Barbara!) One of my boys—my oldest child at home—turned 16 that week so I took him with me. It was [...]
