    Rollin’ Like a Boss

    19 June 2012 / 10 Comments

    For years, every time my family wanted to go somewhere we had to take two vehicles because there wasn’t enough room in one car for everyone. Truth be told, the only time it really became an issue was when we wanted to take a vacation or visit family but, for the most part, we were all on different schedules so we rarely traveled en masse until we moved here. Now things are different. We want to hang out together. So the hubs and I started talking and praying about trading in my car for something bigger. We told God the desires of our hearts and explained that we didn’t want…

    Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #1 {#Cinchspiration}

    18 June 2012 / 15 Comments

    Y’all know I must truly believe in this product if I’m posting full~length, non~sucked~in pictures with weight and measurements on this blog for everyone to see. This is a big step for me, so I’m begging you to be kind. It’s a little hard to see myself looking like this. I want this to change. I need this to change. It will change. Today I begin the Cinch® Inch Loss Plan with 49 other ladies. I’m nervous and excited, but more than either of those, I’m ready to do this. The Cinch Inch Loss Plan offers healthy ways to lose weight through meal replacement bars, shakes, natural supplements along with a…

    Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}

    15 June 2012 / 9 Comments

    1. Burger King announced that it will be introducing the bacon sundae throughout the U.S. this summer. That is all. 2. House Hunters isn’t real, y’all. You know the show on HGTV that shows families touring, opining on and, ultimately, purchasing a new home, well, it’s staged. Is nothing sacred? According to the blog, Hooked on Houses, (written by Bobi, a former participant on the show), she and her husband had to actually purchase a home before they were selected to be on the show, then they asked friends if they could “tour” their homes for the show. I’m not totally surprised by this news but I am surprised to find…

    RV Hunting {Shoe Style Saturday}

    9 June 2012 / 5 Comments

    Hi, everyone! I hope you’ve had a pleasant week. Things have been going really well over here. So many exciting things are happening: I was selected to be one of 50 female bloggers to join Team #Cinchspiration in a weight loss blogging program (you can read about that here). I’m going to need lots of cheerleaders, so please join me on Facebook, Pinterest and/or Twitter. Today the hubs and I went RV hunting. This has been a long time dream of his. I, on the other hand, have been horrified at the idea of peeing in the back of a bus. That is until he took me to the RV park today. Whoa…  I was…

    Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}

    8 June 2012 / 0 Comments

    1. Did you hear about that mom who was arrested for cheering at her daughter’s high school graduation? Other than clapping and yelling “That’s my baby!” what could she have possibly done to warrant arrest? Was she falling on people? Did she hurt anyone? Most parents cheer for the kids because they know what it took to get them to that point. I cheered for Miss 18 and I cried for her. I will cheer for Mr. and Miss 16 and Miss 15 when their day comes… 2. Have you been watching the news lately? Apparently the folks in Washington are upset about all the intel leaks that are going…

    His Works are Wondrous {Photography}

    5 June 2012 / 8 Comments

    I’m fascinated by the sky. No matter where we are or what we’re doing, I’m always looking up at the sun, the clouds, the stars, the lightning, everything… It just amazes me that each and every day, from moment to moment really, that things can just look so different. God is an incredible artist, His works are wondrous and worthy of all praise. What amazes you most about God’s work? Is it the colors in a rainbow? The sound of birds chirping?  The sweet smile on a child’s face? What makes you sit back and say “Look at God”? A couple of times a week, I plan to share what…

    I’m a #Cinchspiration Blogger!

    4 June 2012 / 15 Comments

    I’ve never hidden the fact that I struggle with my weight but it’s not something that I broadcast on a regular basis either. In fact, the last time I talked about my weight I received a not~so~nice email in reply, so I kinda tucked my tail and decided not to discuss it again. I kept working out and eating properly but I didn’t share as much as I had previously. In many ways, this silence felt like a betrayal to the people that I was helping and encouraging with their own weight loss struggle. How could I help them while remaining silent about my own battles? Then I saw a…
