The first day of the year and I am off to a great start.  I started a couple new reading plans and one is coordinated with my weight loss goals.  It is called, "Made to Crave" and you can find the short 21 day devotional at youversion.com-  https://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/419-made-to-crave-21-day-challenge?day=1

The most important thing when I am pursuing getting fit is not necessarily because I want to look and feel good (it helps!!!) but more importantly I want to crave my savior more then I crave food.  I am very blessed since I do not feel I have used food as a comfort thing nor do I think I crave food all the time.  I am more of the average female who has a few days a month with cravings.

The Marriage Manual: 3 Secrets To A Happy And Lasting Marriage

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Well, you have gone and done it! You’ve stood across from the love of your life and made your vows in front of your family, friends, and God. You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.

Orbeez beads and glow sticks= SENSORY FUN!

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.     We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)
