Prayers for My Family, Please

Just wanted to let you know that I might be gone for a few days...
My uncle has been sick and passed away this morning.
To be quite honest, I am not sure how much posting I am going to feel up to for the next few days.

I want to ask if you pray, please add my family to your prayers..
Prayer is such a powerful thing.

With my uncle, he had been sick..
In the end, he was suffering and basically the family just suffered with him, watching him that way.
I did not go and see him.
Some might not agree with that, but I asked my dad (his brother) and my dad said he thought it would be best for me not to go...
I am a very emotional person and I am not good at holding them when needed...
My uncle had been holding on... To what, I am not sure...
But everyone had started "trying" to deal.

Last night, I asked a few friends to pray for God's Will Be Done...
And yes, I even asked on twitter for prayers during this time.
Then, he was at peace this morning.
The good thing?
No more pain.
No more suffering.
He gets to go HOME.
I think that my granddaddy will enjoy having his son home with him.

I am lucky that I had my uncle in my life...
Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers now...
It is time for the healing to start.


Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal.

    Oh, my dear friend... I am so sorry for your loss. I know that he is no longer suffering in pain, but that you are in pain now dealing with the loss.
    That quote on the headstone in Ireland is one of my favorites.
    Please know that my heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you. Let me know if you need anything. LOVE and HUGS!!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
