“The Right Alice”

By Em, 9 September, 2011, No Comment

We recently let Graysen watch Alice in Wonderland. She loved it. In the newer non cartoon version the charters always say how Alice is not the “right Alice”. Since watching the film Graysen has really been wanting a good Alice in Wonderland costume so I turned to my friends at Wholesale Halloween Costumes for some help!

Wholesale Halloween Costumes had this great Deluxe -Alice in Wonderland Costume. Graysen absolutely LOVES it! Her first words upon trying it on were “Mommy, I’m the right Alice!”.

The costumes at Wholesale Halloween Costumes are priced great so with Halloween just around the corner I will have to shop for some of the other Disney Girl’s Costumes that they carry. I see a Rapunzel costume in the near future.

I enjoy seeing how much Graysen love to dress up and play pretend and I love knowing these costumes are high quality and will last a few years.

The Medela Event went off without a hitch. We had a great time and many prizes were acquired.

The grand prize winner was Kevynn. Doesn’t she look happy! She just won $350.00 worth of Medela merchandise. I’d be happy too!

We had great fun and great food.

Some of the girls, excited with their winnings!

It was a success! Thank you Medela and Mommy Parties for this great event!

Let me just say this website has opened up a whole new realm of ideas for me. Just when you thought you couldn’t possibly spend anymore time on the computer along came Pinterest.

This has become a must check website for me! I check it even more than facebook, lol! This site has everything. It’s full of ideas you wish you had thought of, photos you wish you had taken, recipes that maybe one day long down the road you will try. Hey at least you can bookmark them all in one convenient place.

Home ideas, craft ideas it’s a girl’s dream site. A least that’s what it is for me. I have over 200 pins. Guess how many I have tried? That’s right 0! I keep telling myself I will try something. Maybe when I am less busy or have a day off. Nevertheless still LOVE it!!

Voices of the Faithful:Book 2 (Review)

By Em, 12 August, 2011, No Comment

Voices of the Faithful, Book 2 by Beth Moore, is a collection of inspiring stories of courage from Christians serving around the world in the mission field. Each daily devotion has a short story written by a missionary about his or her experiences in the mission field. Some are funny,and others will bring you to tears.

Beth Moore did a great job in compiling the perfect stories and devotionals for her books, all of which are very inspiring. This second book is just as good as the first if not better. I have really enjoyed reading the book day by day and learning great lessons about god from other peoples life stories.

The goal of the book as stated by Beth Moore in the introduction is to make you “motivated to pray”. Not only did I feel motivated to pray but the Voices of the Faithful books really make me long to go on another mission trip.Some of the themes from the book include: prayer the priority, lost and found, lessons from the young, and hope for the world.

Like the first book each inspiring story is only a page long making it the perfect daily devotion for the mom on the go.

I HIGHLY recommend both Voices of the Faithful Book 1 and Book 2.
