Liebster Award Nomination!





Thanks to The Homemaker-Mom, I was nominated for the Liebster Award. Thank you so much Suzie! I am greatly honored to even be considered for this award, let alone nominated.

1. Why did you decide to start a blog?

 I decided to start blogging as a hobby. Being a stay at home mom, blogging is a way for me to express myself and interact with other people.

2. What is your favorite thing about blogging?

Meeting other blogger's! I have met some wonderful people already!

3. What is your biggest challenge in blogging?

 Growing my audience has been a challenge. 

4. What is your favorite thing to cook?

Honestly, I love to cook anything! I absolutely enjoy cooking and trying new recipes!

5. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

 I would travel to France. I have always wanted to see Paris and eat the amazing food! 

6. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

 I wanted to be a doctor so I could help people. 

7. What would be your dream job now?

 I love office work, so I guess it would be to find an at-home office job.

8. What is your favorite meal to order at a restaurant?

I love mussels! I have never tried making them myself, and we have a fabulous French restaurant nearby that makes them SO good! Mussels in a white wine sauce with pancetta. YUM!

9. What is your favorite dessert?

 I am not huge on sweets, but I really do LOVE cheesecake! So rich and delicious!

10. What is your favorite Holiday?

I love Christmas. It's a time to celebrate Christ's birth and I love seeing my little boy so excited on Christmas morning (and for the whole season haha). Last year he was talking about Christmas in July already! Such a fun time of year!

11. What would your dream night date include?

A trip to the aforementioned French restaurant and then a walk through the city and the parks nearby. Just time alone to reconnect would be amazing.

  2. I am a survivor of sexual abuse.
  3. I used to do drugs, drink and party a lot starting at age 17, until I got pregnant with Benjamin at 23. That changed my whole life around. God sent him to me to save my life I believe.

Dance With Me, Momma

Image
Sometimes one day in our life is just what we need to keep on moving forward. A little inspiration, encouragement and hope entering into our sometimes dismal worlds. Today just happened to be one of those days for me. My family and I went on a short hike at a new park my husband found. We climbed up steep hills meant for mountain bikes and followed small trails intended for wild animals. We were able to explore the woods and enjoy God's beautiful world and enjoy the peace and serenity only that can bring. What touched me most deeply was when Benjamin stopped me about 3/4 of the way through our hike. He pulled my face close to his and whispered in his sweet voice, "Dance with me, momma." So right there in the middle of the woods with only Lawrence looking on, I danced with my 4 year old. He hummed a sweet tune and spun me on the forest floor like we were in a ball room and I was a princess and him a prince. Then he grabbed my face and kissed my lips and said, "...

WINNER ANNOUNCED! Forskolin Coleus - An All Natural Weight Loss Supplement Review & Giveaway

Image
Hosted By  Beautifully Poor Sponsored By Nourishing Well Nutritionals I am a skeptic when it comes to weight loss supplements and have never gotten into the fads. Lately though, I cannot seem to lose weight very well. I won't take anything that isn't natural and I know it takes work to get into shape and lose weight. As we all know to well, body fat is extremely stubborn! I exercise regularly and eat healthy, so this supplement was just the thing to kick start my fat loss journey. I started taking this on April 8th of this year. At the same time, I started doing 30 minutes of strength training in the morning BEFORE I ate breakfast. Also, having a glass of something caffeinated like black or green tea or a cup of black coffee FREE of sugar and creamer, can help kick start your body and give you energy. After the half hour of exercise, I wait about 20 minutes and then take 2 Forskolin Coleus pills. Within 20-30 minutes of taking those, I eat a well balanced mea...
