My little girl wants

to go to school. AHHHHHH!!! My sister has enrolled her oldest daughter into Kindergarten at one of the local public schools. It’s one of the better school’s in the area. Now Princess wants to go to school too. I talked her into waiting just one more year but she wants to go. Of course it shouldn’t surprise me because she is the more social one of my oldest two. Boo wants to go too. The only one that would like to remain at home to school is Drama Queen. I never thought I would even think about school outside of the home that wasn’t a private Christian run school. But alas, I am thinking about it and praying about it. I haven’t even had a chance to talk to her daddy about it yet. Boy he is going to be greatly surprised about this request.  So I guess I have a lot of praying and soul searching to do. Because if they decide they want to go to school and we pray and decide that they need to then I will have an empty house all at once. No gradual change, it will be all at once. Please pray that we make the right decision on this.

 

((hugs))

Keep Getting caught up

In my everyday life and there seems to be so many times where I don’t get to sit down and blog. I’m trying to get to the point where I can blog at least a little at night. But right now with getting ready for school and cleaning and work I have just not had the energy to sit down and go over this. I know things will settle down eventually. Or at least I hope so. I will eventually get into a routine of things getting done. But until that point my posts my be sporadic. I do love ya’ll and will post as much as I can.

Disney Vacation Day 5

Day 5: Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We got up early for another day at the Disney World parks. This day we went to Hollywood Studios. Since we were there before most people got there I was able to take some pics of the family in front of signs and stuff that were not so crowded.

Here’s hubby and the girls in front of the Star Wars Weekend’s sign’s we saw.

While waiting in line to get in I took a few other photos of what I could see from the main gate. Like the magician’s hat and the old timey looking gas station. It was pretty cool.

 

 

 

 

 

Then it came time for those of us who had breakfast reservations to go inside and wait some more. lol We had breakfast with the Playhouse Disney characters on this particular morning.

 

 

We then went and rode the Toy Story ride and let me tell you just waiting in line was really cool. You felt like you were shrunk down to toy size and everything was so huge. Here are just a few of the pics of what we saw while waiting to get on the ride.

You can totally see all the scenes in the view master reels. It was so cool.

Of course you can’t go to Hollywood Studios without seeing the Muppet Vision 3D. Here’s a picture of the fountain in front of it.

After trying to get DramaQueen into the Jedi training show (which she didn’t make it on that day but did later in the week). We headed over to do the Back Lot Tour.

Here are a couple photos of some things you’ve seen in some well known movies.

From Left to Right Top row: One of the cages from Pirates of the Caribbean II and the two halves of Herbie from the original Herbie movies.

Left to Right bottom row: The spaceship from Flight of the Navigator and a better view of the two halves of Herbie.

We had lunch at the Sci-Fi Dinner theater that afternoon its so totally cool:

Then we got to meet Prince Caspian from the most recent Chronicles of Narnia movie. 

After meeting Caspian we went and did Playhouse Disney Live with the girls. Boo absolutely loved it.

We saw Mickey Mouse Clubhouse gang, Handy Manny and the tools, My friends Tigger and Pooh and the Little Einsteins. I didn’t get pics of the Pooh cast and the Little Einsteins because I was video taping at that point.

So that was day number 5. Soon I’ll post Day 6 when we went to Animal Kingdom. It was a lot of fun.

ALL Small and Mighty Stain Lifter

I got the pleasure to try out All Small and Mighty stain lifter.  I already use the All Free and Clear, and have for many years. This product is excellent. It works great for our family and I will not change from using this brand to some of the more expensive brands. This is MY brand. My family has sensitive skin and this is the only brand that I have not had issues with it causing us to break out. I love that it comes in the larger size but when I have tons of stuff to buy and have to carry loads of groceries to the car having the small and mighty size is a blessing. The handle makes it convenient to carry and it lasts for 96 loads which is a very long time for us. So go and check it out.

We also we’re priviledged to get one of these amazing bags. Hayden Harnett bag, a trendy Brooklyn-based designer. This must-have tote bag (retail price of $198) folds up to half its size and features countless pockets- perfect for moms who always need to have tricks up their sleeves! 

This is an amazing bag and definitely worth the price. I have plenty of room for everything I need and room to spare. It has tons of pockets and can even carry a laptop if you need it. So don’t carry two bags when you can have one for everything you need.  Click on the image of the bag above to see the other colors and features for this bag.

The Silver Sword & A Promise For Breanna

The Silver Sword by Angela Elwell Hunt

Book one in The Heirs of Cahira O’ Connor series. The auburn-haired O’Conner women push against social limits. Their tale is one of peril, courage, vengeance, love and sacrifice.

This first book tells us the story of a young girl who disguises herself as a knight to save herself from a life of a slave. She goes into the service of a kind Lord who takes her on as a squire not knowing that she was a girl.

This story caught and kept my attention from page one. It has adventure, drama and romance. The story is told very well and will keep you hooked. Once you have finished you will be ready to read the next book in the series. This of course is a story based off of some true people and events that take place during the time when true Christians were being martyred for going against the Roman Catholic church that had during that time been tainted by evil men who tried to bargain forgiveness and salvation away to he highest bidder.

It’s a good story that I highly recommend. To find out how to purchase this book click on the image above.

A Promise for Breanna by Al Lacy

 

Book one in Angel of Mercy series. Suspense, danger, romance and spiritual truth each play a   part in this heroine’s life as she faces the man who once broke her heart and led her to mistrust men.

This book is set during the time our country was expanding and wagon trains took settlers across our nation to California and Oregon country.

This story follows a character from a previous series that Al Lacy wrote but creates a whole new series with. It really made me want to read the previous series that this character was in. But I have to say there were parts that literally had me on the edge of my seat. I read this book in a mater of a couple of days. I couldn’t put it down. Historical fiction is my cup o tea and this is another that I fell in love with. Again, it made me want to read all the books in the series.  So this one is another one that I recommend for you. Especially if you like historical fiction.

I Believe Bunny by tish Rabe

Introducing the I Believe Bunny—a delightful new children’s book series that helps kids learn about believing, sharing, and putting their faith into action.

This book covers the subject of Phil 4:13 as its base verse and talks to children about the importance of calling on God for help.  I found the book perfect for 2 – 6 yr olds.

I found this book quite charming. The story of the book is set up in rhyming verses which kids love and remember. The point of the story is clearly laid out that when you need help its important to call upon God and He can help you to do anything. 

The Illustrations are done very beautifully. It gives it a classic book feel like that of Peter Rabbit. My 4 year old absolutely loves this book and I have read it twice a day since it arrived. Even my 7 and 9 year olds enjoy hearing me read it aloud to their sister.

Over all I think this book will remain in our home and a favorite for a long time to come.

Disney Vacation Day 4

Day 4 Epcot & Magic Kingdom:

This morning we got up early and headed over to Epcot to have breakfast with the Princesses at the Storybook Princess breakfast in the Norway Pavilion.  This was Belle’s breakfast and we also saw Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Snow White and Ariel. It was a whole lot of fun. Oh and if you go to Disney anytime soon make sure to purchase the meal plan. All our character meals were included and it saved us a LOT of money.

We then headed over to the Living Seas and rode the Nemo ride. I got tons of pictures of fish that were in the aquarium area.

We saw Manatee’s and we even caught the divers in the big tank feeding the fish.

We then went back to our room and chilled out for a bit then headed back to Magic Kingdom later.

We found Ariel in her grotto so the girls wanted to have a picture with her in there.

This is Princess and Boo’s favorite princess so they couldn’t get enough of seeing her. Drama Queen’s favorite princess is Belle so she was still excited that we had breakfast with her that morning.

Then as it got dark we started to find a good place to see the fireworks and it started to rain. Before I had to put the camera away I got a couple shots of the castle as it was changing colors.  The fireworks show was awesome. Although it was very loud. Princess does not like loud noises but they were absolutely beautiful.

That was the end of Day 4. We spent most of the week in our rain jackets and poncho’s but we didn’t let it stop us from having a good time while we were there.

 

Blessings,

It has been crazy around here

I have been crazy busy the past few weeks.  I haven’t had as much time as I would like to blog about anything other than a review here and our Disney pics. So today I thought I would sit down and let you all know what was going on with me.

As many of you know about a month and a half ago I took a job for our church. Nursery/Preschool director. In doing that I go into the the church office 2 times a week for a half a day each. It’s not a difficult job but there is a lot of work to it. My responsibilities include scheduling nursery staff, recruiting teachers and scheduling them along with ordering curriculum, prizes, etc. Plus making sure everyone shows up has enough helpers and does their job. So its added a bit to my weekly schedule. So I’ve been working on finding a schedule that works best for me. I mean I still have my husband, children and home responsibilities to think about as well.

Also on top of that I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the other talents that the Lord has blessed me with. I don’t want to lost those talents so I must continue to practice them. The Bible talks about this in the parable of the talents (Matt 14:30).  The man who did not put the talents that the master had given him to use lost them.  I don’t want to lose mine.  I know the Lord gave them to me for a reason and he wants me to use them. In many ways one of the talents that I am using I continue to practice by writing here on my blog. The other talent God has given me to use is my voice. He gave me the gift of singing.

Last fall God blessed me with a portable recording studio so that I can put this talent into good use. Of course its taken me some time to figure out what I want to do and what songs to sing but I believe that God will lead and guide me through this. Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed with the many things that must be done.  I know finding a good routine and sticking with it will help with this. I think about all that needs to be done and think that I just can’t handle all this. I just can’t do it all. But I’m looking at the big picture and I think that focusing on everything at once is just too much. I have to break it down and focus on one thing at a time. I will not get anything accomplished if I don’t do it that way.

Do you get overwhelmed sometimes when you think about all that is required of you in your daily life? I know I do. Sometimes there are things that need to be cut out of our lives in order to do what we need to do. But what do you do with the things that you know the Lord is calling you to do but your not sure how you can fit it all in? Anyway, That is what I am doing and what I am praying over and praying that I can accomplish for our Lord. All I want to do is honor God in everything I do.

 

Blessings,

Disney Vacation Day 3

Day 3 The Magic Kingdom. This was the view from the ferry we took from the transportation center to Magic Kingdom. If it had been a clear day it would have been even more beautiful.

This is one of the ferry boats that passed us on our way to the Magic Kingdom. I remember riding this when I was a little girl when I went with my parents for the first time.

Boo riding the carousal.

  This was Princess favorite ride.

Drama Queen enjoyed it to.

This is the girls waiting for their hair appointments at Bibiddi Bobiddi Bootique in the Castle. This is an awesome experience if you have never done this with your daughters. Well worth the money to have them feel like Princesses all day.

Below are there before and after pics.

 

 

Drama Queen Before                                        After (Pop Princess style)

Princess Before                                                  After (Diva Princess style)

Boo Before                                                         After (Fairytale Princess style)

Those are the three styles that they offer so all day the girls were like a walking commercial for the Bootique.  All the hair dressers are Fairy Godmother’s in training. They have different packages and we chose the basic package. This was a splurge we saved up for it is a bit on the pricey side.

We got to visit Never Land and we were shrunk down to fairy size to visit Fawn, TinkerBell and SilverMist. That was an amazing thing. They not only took pictures with the kids and signed autograph books but they talked with them and spent quite a bit of time with each family. This was an amazing event for our day. We didn’t take a whole lot of pictures since it rained most of the day. So these are a few of our pics from the Magic Kingdom on day 3. I hope you enjoyed. :)

The Vanishing Sculptor, a Review

The Vanishing Sculptor by Donia K. Paul

Summary:

Return to the world of the dragon keepers, where the fate of three missing statues will determine the fate of the world. Tipper, a young emerlindian woman, has been responsible for the upkeep of her family’s estate since her sculptor father disappeared several years ago. To make ends meet, she’s been forced to sell off the artwork he left behind. When at last her father returns, accompanied by two strangers from a distant land, Tipper discovers that her actions have unbalanced the foundation of her world, as well as her father’s life, and she must act quickly to undo the threat. But how can she save her father and the world on her own? The task is too huge for one person, so she gathers the help of some unlikely companions—including her guardian, the giant parrot Beccaroon, the wizard Fenworth, and his librarian Librettowit—and sets out on a quest, eventually witnessing the loving care and miraculous resources of Wulder.

Join new characters and old friends on a journey into a fantasy that inhabits the same world as the DragonKeeper Chronicles, but in a different country and an earlier time, where the people know little of Wulder and nothing of Paladin.

 

Donita K. Paul’s 250,000-plus-selling DragonKeeper Chronicles series has attracted a wide spectrum of dedicated fans–and they’re sure to fall in love with the new characters and adventures in her latest superbly crafted fiction novel for all ages. It’s a mind-boggling fantasy that inhabits the same world as the DragonKeeper Chronicles, but in a different country and an earlier time, where the people know little of Wulder and nothing of Paladin.
In The Vanishing Sculptor, readers will meet Tipper, a young emerlindian who’s responsible for the upkeep of her family’s estate during her sculptor father’s absence. Tipper soon discovers that her actions have unbalanced the whole foundation of her world, and she must act quickly to undo the calamitous threat. But how can she save her father and her world on her own? The task is too huge for one person, so she gathers the help of some unlikely companions–including the nearly five-foot tall parrot Beccaroon–and eventually witnesses the loving care and miraculous resources of Wulder. Through Tipper’s breathtaking story, readers will discover the beauty of knowing and serving God.

Author Bio:

Donita K. Paul is a retired teacher and author of numerous novellas, short stories, and eight novels, including the best-selling DragonKeeper Chronicles, a series which has sold more than a quarter million books to date. The winner of multiple awards, she lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she spends time mentoring and encouraging young writers. Visit her online at donitakpaul.com.

MY REVIEW:

Okay I must admit that I wasn’t sure that I was going to enjoy this book. However, by chapter 5 I was hooked.  The story was well written and you connect to the characters. By the end of the book I was still waiting for more which leaves it open for either a sequel (if she plans on writing one) or for you to pick up the DragonKeeper Chronicles  I was very impressed at how it caught my attention. Fantasy stories are not the type of book that I normally read but I very much enjoyed this book to the point that I am searching for the five from the DragonKeeper Chronicles. I recommend you picking this one up.

Disney Vacation Day 2

Day 2: (its a long post)

Before we left for the second half of our trip the girls felt we needed to have a picture next to a palm tree.

So that is Me and the girls next to a Palm tree in front of our hotel in Savannah, GA.

Then we drove through Jacksonville, FL and it has a beautiful skyline.

Then we saw this unique looking building right outside of Orlando.

We stayed at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside and on our bed we found one of the many things the cleaning crew does in your room after they have cleaned it.

If I look tired that is because I was. lol

We spent the rest of our day at Epcot.

You can’t go to Epcot without getting a picture of Space Ship Earth or as my Boo calls it, “the big ole ball”. lol

  There was a flower festival going on at Epcot that whole week and the flowers were absolutely amazing. But they are always amazing there. I would love for them to come out and landscape my yard.

You should see this fountain when they are doing the music. The water spurts out to the music and its so pretty. The only time we even caught it was when it was pouring rain. This was one of the few days where it did not pour and the sun was out for a little while.

Hubby and the kids are doing the Kim Possible Adventure and they were looking for clues that was passed along on our Kimmunicator. Our first adventure we did was Mexico. It was a really fun thing to do. Even the two “Big” kids (hubby and I) got into it.

That’s just a few of the things that we did on our first day on location in Epcot. After all the walking we went back to the hotel that night and it didn’t take us long to fall asleep. It was such a fun day and it was just the beginning of our adventures while in Disney.

Well I am a bit behind

I have delayed posting due to a lot going on around here. I did not get to share some of my pics from Disney World with you all. I’ve got so many to choose from to share so  I will try to do so slowly as not to overwhelm ya’ll.  So I think I will take and post every couple of days some of the pics from our trip to Disney and our drive there.

Disney Trip Day One:

Leaving South Carolina and entering Georgia. I had to get this beautiful pic of our nation and state flag blowing in the wind with the puffy clouds as their backdrop. :)

Boo fell fast asleep in the car by the time we got to Savannah to stop for the night.

One of the planes outside the Mighty 8th Museum in Savannah. My husbands great uncle was a general in the Army Air Force back in the day and his picture was supposed to be in this museum. They were having a Wedding and we were not able to go inside. Although they did allow my husband to walk around by himself real quick to see if he saw it.

if you look closely you can see Drama Queen and Princess standing beneath this plane also outside the Mighty 8th Museum. They enjoy going to places like this and we decided that we would love to make a trip to Savannah and get to go in and see the other exhibits inside the museum as well.

That was it for our first day of travel.

Celebrating Father’s Day

Look at this. What an awesome early Father’s Day gift my dh received last night. A month ago when the call went out by Steven Curtis Chapman’s management team that they were looking for pictures of dad’s and their daughter's for a Father’s Day video they were putting together I immediately sent in a pic of my dh and our girls. What an awesome surprise when they posted last night that the videos were up on YouTube. I quickly headed over to watch the first of (at least) two versions (possibly more) to see that they had chosen to use our pic in the video. So here it is the video for Father’s Day. Our pic is at the 1:37 time. Check it out. This song always makes me cry so have Kleenex ready.
