My Girls Can’t Keep a Secret
No, not my daughters. I’m talking about those two mounds of flesh that are attached to my chest. Every time I turn around, they’re screaming as loud as they can “Daenel’s cold!” Yes, I’m talking about my temperature gauges, my tatas, my breasts. Do you have the same problem? Or do you have a problem with digging straps? Do your girls hang too low? Our breasts are one of our most obvious features. Not only do they help us get our sexy on but they also feed our children, which means they go through a lot of changes. As a result of these changes, seven out of ten women are…

Women of Faith Wednesday: Girl, You are Loved
Today’s Women of Faith Wednesday question is “If you could go back in time and tell your teenage self one thing, what would you say?” Hmmm….there are so many things that my teenaged self needed to hear. Psalms 37:4 (NIV) says: “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Had I found the truth of that verse, I would have saved myself so much heartbreak and rejection. The biggest desire of my teenaged heart was to be truly and completely loved and valued. Not the boyfriend~girlfriend kind of love but that love that comes from having a family that instills in you a sense of…

Book Review: Rooms: A Novel by James L. Rubart
“What would you find if you walked into the rooms of your soul?” Micah literally finds out when he inherits a home built especially for him by his great uncle, Archie. Micah is a software tycoon who has it all ~ fame, fortune, and a beautiful girlfriend who loves him, yet something is missing… And it takes a supernatural force for him to realize that what he is missing a relationship with God. As a young man, Micah had enjoyed a close relationship with God but as his fortune grew, his focus became centered on storing up worldly treasures in direct conflict with the scriptures. Matthew 16:26 says: “What good…

Product Review: Waterpik Easy Select Showerhead
I used to be a bath girl ~ you know, candles, soft music, a good book and mounds of fluffy white bubbles ~ then I took a shower with the Waterpik Easy Select Showerhead (MSRP $59.99). Oh my gosh…. That showerhead produced the most amazing shower experience ever! It took my husband all of 5 minutes to install the new showerhead (I tried but I couldn’t get the old showerhead off) ~ no pipe tape needed! My Easy Select showerhead is in a brushed nickel finish (the showerheads come in three styles with two finishes) and has an enormous head ~ I’m talking full coverage spray. So what’s so revolutionary…

Women of Faith Wednesday: Miracles and Monkeys
Today’s Women of Faith Wednesday question is “Have you experienced any miracles in your life?” Ummm, does the fact that I’m actually writing this post on a Wednesday count? Seriously, I would have to say that my entire life has been a series of miracles. My twin sister and I were born just after my mother was in a car accident. My father was racing her to the hospital in the early morning hours when the police decided to stop my father for speeding by parking the police cruiser directly in front of the car. Because of the positioning of the police car, my father had to choose between…

Children’s Advocacy Center 6th Annual Moonlight Run
Today was the Children’s Advocacy Center 6th Annual Moonlight Run and I did it! Well, I ended up having to walk it because of some health issues but I still did it and I’m pretty darned proud of myself. I started not to do it ~ all the way to Scranton, I kept trying to come up with excuses for why I shouldn’t do this. My nerves were getting the best of me… I hadn’t eaten anything since 9:30 this morning and I was starving but I was too afraid to eat. Honestly, you’d think I was running a marathon, it was just a walk to raise money for a worthy…

I Did the Big Chop…Kinda~Sorta
I started transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair in July of last year. I am totally enjoying the freedom and liberty that comes with natural hair. Last week, I cut the last bit of relaxed hair off (I was so incredibly frustrated and tired of dealing with dual textured hair). Before I cut it, I had to either braid it or twist it every night before going to bed and that was incredibly time consuming. Now that I’ve cut off relaxed portions, I can just go to bed ~ no worries. In the morning, I can either wash my hair or spritz it with water to “reactivate” the curls.…

Book Review: The Revolutionary Paul Revere by Joel J. Miller

It’s an irreverent look at an American hero who always seemed to be in the thick of things.

Women of Faith Wednesday on Thursday
I know today is Thursday and this blog hop is supposed to take place on Wednesday, but I just found out about it this morning so, for now, we’ll just close our eyes, say a prayer that my words will fall on soft hearts and ignore the fact that I am a day late… Today’s Women of Faith Wednesday question is “If you could become a Women of Faith speaker, what would you talk about?” “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.” Colossians 3:20~21 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and…
