this week is all about this girl! My BABY is turning 8 tomorrow.  Happy Mother's Day to me! Celebrating the birth of my last child! My only daughter! Spending it with my Mom and daughter! yay!  Her party is next weekend, so this week will be a week long birthday party prep, awards day at school(s) and Birthday hoopla for this kid...who wants breakfast in bed tomorrow morning!  More on the Mother-Daughter banquet with photos of table decor next week! Also details on the party for my girl!  Wishing you all a blessed and happy Mother's Day! 

Pinterest started it all. I am sure it has started a lot of bizarre activity in households since it popped up on line. (if nothing else, people sitting at their computer screen for hours on end "pinning" things or looking at things others have pinned!) I saw this on Pinterest one day, and pinned it. Unlike a lot of what is pinned, at least by me, I eventually clicked through to this blog: 100 Days of Real Food:  1 Family. 2 Kids. 0 Processed Foods. Often when i find a blog I like, I will spend HOURS reading through the entire thing. ( I am sure there is some sort of 'disorder' associated with this) I have to admit I didn't do that with this blog, but I did spend a lot of time there over a few days poking around,clicking through to other places and reading.  If you are looking for some easy to follow guidelines for "better" or "healthier" eating, and to you that means less in the way of processed foods, then this is the blog to che

I got this book a while back and have been a total SLACKER about really reading it. I have read through a few prayers, and anyone who is familiar with "The Power of a Praying...." series, knows they are good.  I found however that there were a few prayers in this book that i felt I needed to pray over my whole family, myself included. One that particularly struck me is one in the Chapter entitled "Having the motivation for Proper Body Care." I have to admit, i was thinking this would be a prayer about helping my children WANT to take baths, and properly clean themselves...but it wasn't. This was a prayer about FOOD! I have 'revised' this prayer and printed it for my family so that we can pray it daily over each other. I wanted to share that with you.  Please note that this prayer is 99% from the book "The Power of a Praying Parent" by Stormie OMartin and that i cannot really take credit for it in anyway. I just felt like i shoul

Long time no blog, huh? i know. go ahead and say it ... SLACKER! I just haven't had anything to say. I know you are shocked! I am thinking about starting to blog again. I have started trying a bunch of new recipes and to eat healthier. This has generated a lot of interest from my FB friends. Lots of questions. Not only that, I am finding that even with the help of Pinterest  I am having trouble keeping up with it all. It might help me to blog about my health food adventures! Anyone interested? this will of course end up with a lot of stuff other than healthy eating, 'cause that's how i roll. One thing i will say is that i spontaneously decided to quit taking my "crazy meds" and that was NOT GOOD! All the members of my family are still living. What happened, notably, was that my brain quit functioning properly. shock, right? I was really loopy-floopy-dizzy and it was NOT good. I got my Rx refilled yesterday, popped a pill and now i feel "normal&qu
