I know that today is a day that many remember... Where were you? What were you doing? As for my story... I was in college. Woke up. Got ready... and was headed to school. My cell phone rang. It was my dad, asking if I had seen the news... No, what is going on? I never, ever in a million years expected to hear what was about to come out of his mouth. Do WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED IN NEW YORK?! I was in shock. I went to class... Hysterical, as was everyone else. One of my classmates had a pilot for a dad and she had no clue where he was. We sat there. We prayed. We did not have much to say... I mean, what do you say? Our teacher got word that they were shutting our school down. We were in what was considered part of the financial district... We could "possibly be a target" We left. I went home... Turned on the news. Friends came over. We sat. We watched. We waited. We prayed. Finally, I had to get out... We went to CVS for me to get a newspaper... I knew something had to have been pr...

What do you munch on when you are hungry? Veggies? Fruits? Chips? Cookies? I will admit, I munch on all of them. Not the healthiest options, minus fruits and veggies.. But still, you just have to have your fix sometimes... Luckily for us.. Broxton LOVES fruits and veggies!!!! Recently, I was able to sample a variety of flavors from Grab Em Snacks . Seeing that they were featured as a "snack of the day" on Rachael Ray made me want to try them even more... ( I LOVE RR!) First of all, let me tell you... Ha! Do not fall out of your seats, please... I have no clue about Plantains . I thought they were just bigger bananas! I know, I know... I am just being honest! They look like them though... Good thing I never bought some and tried to give one to Marc or Broxton ! (They are cooked before serving... unsuitable raw... ) You can read more about Plantains on the Grab Em Snacks site HERE. Well, let me just tell you about Grab Em Snacks .. Geetha , the founder, wanted a healthier ...

I have always seen Max Lucado books at the book store. I have even bought them as gifts before. Today, I can actually say that I am reading one! I have been reading Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado and I am not quite finished. Working with Book Sneeze, I have been fortunate to be in on the Out Live Your Life book campaign, so although my post is due today, I hate to say I am not finished. Almost though. I really like this book, as I feel as though it speaks to each and every one of us. This book is a challenge to all of us to "Out Live Your Life." Make a difference. Even if it is only to one person, that might be the one that needs it the most. One thing that Max Lucado said, has stuck with me... " God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called." If you ever feel intimidated by thinking you do not have what it takes... This book opens up the knowledge that not everything is about a monetary contribution. A small act of kindness goes quite a long wa...

I have mentioned before about how I never wear makeup. Okay, never say never, right? Lets change that to how very seldom I wear makeup. I do enjoy my chapstick /lip balm. Also, I do not know about most, but I feel like a small dab of color on your lips helps out to brighten your face. You know, add a little color? I do not really care for most "lipsticks" as they tend to dry my lips out... but there are a few glosses that I enjoy. I was sent the Juice Beauty Reflecting Gloss to try and it has now been added to the "Yes, I can wear and enjoy this!" list! Now, remember that I have blogged about Juice Beauty in the past... The fact that they are a juice based product is great! This product has a very subtle flavor, but most importantly (to me) it has a great smell! Besides that... It is full of antioxidants , nutrients and vitamins to help your skin keep a youthful glow! :) The reflecting gloss comes in a sleek little tube that has a lid that screws on. No need to...
