I'm still here

Hi blog fans,

I have not fallen off the planet. I have been super busy with family and business ventures. I will be blogging about a Holiday Body Extravaganza shortly for the month of December, so stay tuned.

I hope all is well with everyone as we enter a new phase of American History and with the buzz of change. I am excited to see what will become of this industry and of the economy within the upcoming months. Let's continue to pray for our leaders daily.

Stay posted, Until then Be Blessed.

The Free Gift

I attended a funeral this past Friday of a family member and it just really put everything in perspective for me. I am a believer in Jesus Christ and I am not ashamed to say it. I know where I will spend eternity when I leave this earth. If you are also a believer that is wonderful and I am talking to my brother or sister in Christ (Let us continue to spread the love of Christ). But if you are not, you still have time to accept Jesus in your heart. Come as you are, it doesn't matter what you have done or how messed up you think you are. God is waiting right where you are with open arms just waiting for you to accept Him.

John 3:16 "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life".

Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". (The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a place called Hell)

Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". (No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his/her own merit. No matter how much good we do, we still fall short)

Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10-"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved". (Everlasting life is a free gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith)

Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"

Do you know where you will spend eternity? Is your spiritual house in order? Now is the time, don't wait to accept the free gift of Salvation that has been provided for you. Tomorrow is not promised to us and as we can see life is all too short. Just take Bernie Mac for example, who knew that he would no longer be living this week. You just never know.

If you have read this blog and you want to know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior you can say this prayer and receive the love that Christ has just waiting for you -

Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner, I know I deserve to pay for my sin in Hell. Please forgive me of my sins and I ask that you to come into my heart. I believe that you died on the Cross for my sins and that you are alive and seated at the right hand of God in Heaven. I trust in you and you alone and that when I die you will take me to Heaven. Help me to live for you - a life of victory knowing that you will always be there and you will never leave me nor forsake me... In Jesus' name Amen.

Farm Animal Cruelty

My husband found this site accidentally, it is worth the watch. If you don't know where your food comes from, you need to watch this video. I must warn you - You will be angry, sick to your stomach and ready to boycott the meat industry.


http://www.chooseveg.com/animal-cruelty.asp

I am in tears over how these animals are being treated. This is the food that we buy from the grocery store and the food we have to eat. Granted I do not eat red meat or pork (Every once and a while I will break down and have a burger) but I do eat chicken, turkey and fish (wild, not farm raised-that is another issue within itself).

As I sat here and watched squirming in my seat and nearly ready to throw up my just eaten egg whites and turkey I am wondering how crazy must these farmers, farm workers and the USDA and FDA be. How is it possible that farm animals with deadly diseases, mutilated body parts and broken bones (all while enduring inhumane/torturous conditions) be allowed to enter into our food market?

Has everyone gone mad? Is everyone so money hungry or full of greed that regard for human life no longer exist? What is it going to take - a boycott for them to treat innocent animals with some type of dignity? I am not telling you to boycott, but the choice is yours-How do you feel about your food knowing what you know now?

Now I am not saying treat animals better than human beings, but I am saying treat our food that we have to eat with lot more respect.

A Short Break

I took a little time off from blogging to spend time with my family. My mom and family were visiting from Texas this week. My best friend is here from Florida and I have been enjoying it all.

Things have been a little busy here. My cousin got married this past weekend and the wedding was absolutely beautiful. We all had a wonderful time. Mom just left on Monday and the visit was way too short. I wish we had more time. Then we received the news that my Great Aunt had passed. So if you think of me pray for my Grandmother and my family members.

I will reflect on all the fun and fellowship we had together and hopefully that will last until we can see each other again.

Where have you been?

Things have been a little busy around here. I am taking an aqua aerobics class M-Th and strength training. I love my class, I look forward to the class and I have met a lot of nice older ladies. I am working every muscle in my body - but I feel energized and I am a little bit more relaxed. I am working on improving me and this helps me become a better mom.

I am enjoying this small break from my children. It gives them a chance to miss me and it gives me the much needed break I deserve.

Weekend Fun

Hey fellow bloggers,

I had a great weekend, we celebrated my daughters 5Th birthday. She was so excited from the time she woke up until she went to bed. We had a small gathering but the big bash will be when my mom comes up next month to visit. I hope you all had a fun-packed weekend.

On another note I am just trying to prepare myself mentally for this upcoming craft show I signed up for. I will be super busy preparing products the next couple of weeks, but I will try to keep you updated with my progress.

Crafty/Flea Market

Pamper Party Divas will have a booth at the Crafty/Flea Market in September. We are super excited as this will be our 1st ever craft show.

We will offer handmade cold process soaps, body lotion, body wash, lip balm, bath tea, body scrubs, massage oils, milk baths and so much more...

Hope to see you there and you get a chance to meet me in person - the face behind the logo. Stop by and say hello, I would love your support and to meet you.

More details to follow so save the date (Sept. 6)

Great Homeschooling Start

I am totally excited to begin my Homeschooling journey. My hubby found a great site www.freecycle.org where items are reused or recycled to reduce the amount of waste in our landfills.

Anyway there was a family giving away teachers guides for K - 3 math, phonics and reading, curriculum, math flash cards, God and Me devotional book, and these awesome arithmetic drill set cards.

I really love the cards because they teach cardinal numbers, shapes, money, calender and linear measures, clock measures, weight measures, capacity, fractions, temperatures, roman numerals, place value, number comparisons and process terminology. That is all included in the first set. I was truly impressed.

They are published through A Beka Book (A Christian Home school Textbook/Ministry). These cards are definitely a great learning tool for teaching your children.

Bubble Busting Morning

Okay, I know that kids can be brutally honest but could they sugarcoat it a little. Here I am trying to love on my daughter and give her a hug, she looks up at me and says in the sweetest little voice "Mommy, your breath stinks" (mind you we just ate breakfast). Can you believe the nerve of this little girl Oh my goodness.

My miss soon to be 5 this Saturday is all drama all of the time from sun up to sun down. I have plenty more little stories and sayings to share with you all.

I am in good company

Here is a great video I found while surfing the net. Who-hoo, I am not the only one learning how to swim in later years. If you have the time check it out. I was truly inspired.

Snap Shots

Introducing Snap Shots from Snap.com

I just installed a nice little tool on this site called Snap Shots that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site, interactive excerpts of Wikipedia articles, MySpace profiles, IMDb profiles and Amazon products, display inline videos, RSS, MP3s, photos, stock charts and more.

Sometimes Snap Shots bring you the information you need, without your having to leave the site, while other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not.

Should you decide this is not for you, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.

Summer Swim Lessons

Well, who gave me the crazy notion to start swimming at 30(something). Am I out of my mind, what was I thinking?

My swim instructor must think my classmates and I know how to swim already. He proceeds to ask us what the four basic strokes are - Freestyle, Breaststroke, Floating (front and back), Backstroke, etc. Then he says 'Well you will know all of these by the end of two weeks. Okay jump in the water' . Hello we are starting out in 5ft in really deep water with a movable floor.

At this point I am mortified, I don't know how to swim and neither does anybody else in this class. Needless to say we all learned how to freestyle, front/back float and backstroke. That was just day one.

Today- Day 2

We learned how to tread water, back float again and the breaststroke. Despite everyone's drowning fear I have to say I am doing pretty good. I'll keep you posted.

Future Olympians

Subbantam Championship Track Meet

I just wanted to give a shout out for my beauties. They competed in their first ever track competition on Saturday. For those of you who are not familiar with track and field, the Subbantam Meet is only for children who are 1 - 8 years old and they compete in a number of races with children in their same age group.

My 4 year old placed 1st in the long jump 5'10" and 3rd in the 50m, 3rd in the 100m, and 7th in the 4x100 relay race.

My 2 year old placed 4th in the 50m and 8th in the 4x100 relay - He would have run in the 100m but he was napping :( (maybe next year).

I am so proud of them. We started 2 months ago toward the end of the season just for fun and my beauties caught on quickly. I must say if you have never seen little kids competing against each other at these ages it is a sight to see. All of the children received a medal or a ribbon based on their placement in the race. The children were so cute and we had a really good time.

I am looking forward to our second year.
