Closed on Sundays...

Hobby Lobby just opened up in our town and I am so pleased with their Christian principals. I never realized that this store was Christian owned until I read this sign on their door. My husband informed me that they also donate to many christian organizations. Here is a list of some neat organizations Hobby Lobby donates too: http://www.hobbylobby.com/our_company/ministry.cfm

Also, David Green, the Owner and founder of Hobby Lobby is #79 on Forbes list.

Some other neat facts:

Green started Hobby Lobby with a loan of $600 in 1970.

Green opened up the first Hobby Lobby in 1972.

One of the really neat things they donated was 1.4 BILLION copies of Good News to homes in over 100 countries.

David Green was a pastors son and they did not have much money growing up.

Hobby Lobby also is trying to protect us from the health care mandates... Obama-care. Hobby Lobby actually has a lawsuit out on several Health care issues.

After finding all of this out it makes me want to shop at Hobby Lobby over Joann's and Micheal's. :) I mean no offense to those stores especially since we have all 3.

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway

If you have a little girl and have not heard of the Knot Genie then you need to watch the following video: "The Knot Genie™ and Teeny Genie™ Detangling Brushes were created for every mom that has endured the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of brushing, as well as how it virtually stops breakage and split ends. You've wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted." My Review: Thanks to the Knot Genie for sending me the product to conduct my review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine. I know I have grown so tired of my daughter coming to tears every morning when we did her hair. I was becoming to think she was the most

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
