Hair Without Tangles Ever since my daughter has had hair long enough to comb, she has had tangles. I am talking about big tangles that would take me 20-30 min. or more to comb out, and with her crying in pain the whole time! In the past, I've tried ever kind of product out there on the market to get rid of tangles.....NOTHING worked! Then, I tried Shaklee Revitalizing Shampoo and Replenishing Conditioner. To my amazement it WORKED! My daughter has long fine hair, and she acts like a tomboy most days, but since she washes and conditions her hair with Shaklee, I haven't had to spend time combing out tangles and she doesn't dread getting her hair combed anymore!  It worked so well for her, that my husband and I use it too. I have thick hair, and it leaves my hair so soft and silky! I like the clean smell of it and best of all, It is all natural.  You can check out Shaklee Hair Care Products here . WHAT’S IN ProSanté?

Our daughter is required to take notes for Sunday morning church..... (now, before you think this is too much for a little kid, let me tell you that her notes can be pictures, a saying or a Bible verse -just something to show that she's paying attention to the preacher.) In the past, she has carried a purse, but I decided to make her a Bible bag. The bag is big enough to hold her bible, a note book, kleenex, pencil and chapstick. I bought a pre-made bag at Hobby Lobby, then used craft scraps to decorate it. And since my daughter has low self-esteam, I choose the saying "You are beautiful - just the way you are"! I think it is a hit, as she is thrilled and it didn't cost me more than $2.00! -maybe I'll make these to sell...you think anyone would buy them? Thanks Tip Junkie  for the link-up!

I have a all-man type of boy! When QW was one, I wanted to buy him a mat that he could drive his matchbox cars on. However, the ones you buy are either too small, or too costly and I didn't think they looked very fun, so I made him a car mat! It was fun and easy to make, and to this day (He will be 4yrs. next mo.) It is his favorite toy! He plays on the car mat everyday. His sister, dad and even mom sometimes plays on it too!  I am a firm believer that little boys need to play with toys that help them use their imagination in a good way. before the roads were finished   The finished car mat  I also made one for my little nephew this year for Christmas! I made his different, with more roads and a couple of fields. I also personalized his, so it has their bank, grocery store, his daddy's work, both of his Gmpa's places and favorite restaurants on it!  My kids playing on it, while I was still making it.  The finished product I keep all his matchbox c

                                                                Why is it that in today's world, Christian's struggle with having victory in their lives? It is because they do not have Faith! We rely on ourselves, money, family and things instead of relying on God! Of course, most 'Christian's' claim that they have Faith, but are we really willing to put our faith in God for everything including our job, home, family, income, and time? If we truely put our faith in God we will not need  anything .....God will supply all our needs. Only then can we have a Victorious life!

I must admit, sometimes my parenting skills leave much to be desired.....however, this last week, I have stuck with my new rule of the kids only getting to watch 1hr. of TV or 1 movie a day. The first day they thought it was just awful, but by yesterday, QW didn't even ask to watch any! I am loving having a "quite" house (without the TV noise)! This got me to thinking of how often I would let the kids watch TV/movies. Even though I have never liked it much (and even threatened to get rid of the TV altogether), I would let them watch it just because i didn't want to deal with them. Then before you knew it, a lot of time the TV was on and the kids were not even watching it.... it was just noise.  With the TV off the last week, I have enjoyed quiet, it gives me a sense of calm. The kids are also playing together more and using their imaginations. Now, the next things on my list to work on are snacking between meals and keeping a routine/schedule! .....lik

5 years ago, I married my best friend, my lover, my soul mate, my protector, the one I do life with.... I thought I'd take you down memory lane and share some pictures.....enjoy! This photo book was created with Zno   - I used their 'free trial' link which was a 8x8 Layflat book, hardcover, 20 pages for $5 plus shipping. I added an extra 10 pages and the finished product including shipping was $25 total. Overall, it's a nice book, the only complaint is that the pages are extremely thick - almost like a kids cardboard, hard page book, which in turn makes the entire book thicker. Shipping and quality was great!  Where do you order Photo books from? Pros? Cons? Leave me a comment - I'd love to hear what you use and like!

Did I mention that I LOVE flowers???!!  Today the weather was beautiful. I worked at weeding flowerbeds.  Tonight, I enjoyed walking around taking pictures of some of the flowers in bloom.  Right now, I am planning a new rose bed, 2 new flower beds in the garden, an herb bed and trying to decide on new plants for in front of the house, as well as finish the two front beds that I started last year! Did I also mention that my hubby is making 10 raised beds for the garden? It will be beautiful when it gets finished! God has blessed me so much, and I'm thankful for a loving husband, who lets and even helps me do things that I enjoy...even though he thinks I'm crazy!

Okay, so while taking a shower today, I was thinking how that when we ask Jesus to save us, He washes away our sins, just as water washes the dirt away and makes us clean. -when the thought occurred to me....wouldn't it be neat if water could also wash our excess fat away too!!!  (those who know me well, know that I gain a lot of weight (85#'s) when I'm pregnant and can't seem to lose it after my babies are born, while I'm nursing them!) -anyway, then tonight I was reminded that to God (and my husband) I'm beautiful no matter what, ...so even though I may not be a size 12 or 14 for another year or so....It will be worth it, 'cause I've got me a precious baby and God loves all sizes! Now if I can just keep that thought in my head everytime I look in the mirror for the next 6 months or so!! -but really taking a shower to get skinny would be cool though!!!!
