So Much to Talk About

There is just too much wonderful information in the blogsphere... I could literally spend hours a day finding useful stuff. Since I don't have that much time, and I know you, my faithful readers don't either... here are the highlights of what I read (or skimmed) this weekend.
  • Women Against Pornography: Carolyn really hits the nail on the head. Dontcha think? (Not a subject for little people, and by that I mean kids, not people who are short, but legal)
  • CVS & Walgreens: People often ask me how I figure out all of the good deals at these two stores. I don't. I read people who do. Click the links and learn!
  • It Takes A Village: But not necessarily in the way Hilary Clinton meant it. And yes, I do practice attachment parenting.
  • Where are all of the Titus 2 women?: I wonder about this too... where are the older women to step in and help those of us who are younger figure things out? I try to practice this in my life with a couple of teenagers I know... but who is going to help me?
  • How I Survived Post-partum Loneliness: Since I have been a mom that has had to work outside of the home, I have felt this less to be sure. But summer is coming quickly and Bruce will still be working. What will I do to make new friends?

And a quote from Abraham Piper that struck me as profound:

Understanding teenage rebellion only as sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll implies that the goal is celibacy, sobriety, and employment. It’s not.
It’s Jesus.

    You do have women in your life who are there if you need them or want the mentoring...just keep that in mind :)

    Love, Mom

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
