Journaling, a great way to spice up your love life.

Many people have a tough time vocalizing their feelings. This a great way to let the person you love know how you feel, without a lot of pressure, while at the same time keeping a history of your life.

Here's how it works, you and your partner take turns writing a chapter to a book. Write it in third person, sort of from a narrator's point of view.

The chapters can chronicle a fun date, an experience with or without each other, interaction with the kids, or anything else you can think of.

It's a lot of fun to write the chapters, but even more fun to read the chapters your loved one constructs.

It's super easy, I found a black leather bound journal, (that way my husband wouldn't think it was to girly,) I created a title page and it took off from their. It's so much fun. It really works great when I get upset that way I get my feeling all out their.

You don't need to feel pressure to write a chapter, short or long, every day - just when you feel like it.

I've had such a great experience with this, I hope you do too.

Simple Home Made Meals

Cooking is my favorite hobby, the kitchen is my favorite room in the home. I love home cooked meals nothing from a box, can or freezer. (it's just not the same). I have a busy schedule, with work, kids, and all the things they like to do it's just impossible to have a healthy home cooked meal every day, until now..... I am so excited to share with you this amazing web site http://simplifysupper.com/

These women have done every thing for you you just have to hit print, They compiled weeks worth of recipes and planed them, made a list and all you need to do is print it off,

unless there is something you don't care for you can customize your own list. Choose from their many dishes and make your own monthly calendar and it automatically makes your grocery list

I love this idea and it's all simple ingredients and easy to make. Give it a try I know you'll love it.






Love My Kitchen

My husband is such a dear, He took it upon himself to paint our kitchen, and I love it. It's only the one wall, only because the rest of the kitchen is full of cabnets
and a pantry. The color is called 'Harvest Spice', my kitchen theme is Sunflowers and Apples, it ties in nicely with my decor. I love it...

From One Pumpkin to Another


A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?"The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin." God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then He cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff.He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, and greed. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."
