HAPPY NEW YEAR- 2015

It has taken me a few days to write this post... so far 2015 has been a sick one for myself.   I was at the doctors getting checked for strep which was negative but I swear it was the worst sore throat I have ever experienced.   The doctor did notice the inflammation in my neck and throat so he did give me a steroid.   The steroid though makes people more susceptible to infections which caused an eye infection.  

I am better now but it sure was the longest week ever!   


I will admit I did not stay up till midnight to bring the new year in, I again watched the ball drop at 11 pm my time then went to bed.   I kissed my daughter as my new years kiss which I do believe made my hubby a little jealous.  ;)

January 1st started us on our journey in the Daniel Plan which is different than the Daniel Fast... confused us at first so right now we are doing a fast for a couple days.   The Daniel plan had us cut out dairy, gluten, sugar, and all nasty processed stuff but we have removed meat so pretty much just eating fruit and veggies for a few days.  I sure do miss eating cheese and chocolate.  

Back to the New year...   I had the opportunity to co-preach the first Sunday of the new year!   We discussed setting some goals and focused on looking at a few role models in the Bible.   I also took some time this first week of school and talked about goals and resolutions with my students and my Sunday School kids!   I know many people never set any goals but I still think taking the time to reflect and set goals is important.   Even more important when you take the time with Jesus to really dig in and seek Him for guidance and direction. 

So have you taken some time to refocus on what is important?  

My word for the year is organization and intentional.   I want to obviously get more organized at home and school but I also want to be more intentional with my time.   Learn to balance it better and get rid of the stuff that takes time away that is not important.

Another area of focus is food-  I want to constantly remind myself to be aware of what I am putting in my body.  

Here is 2015-  It's going to be a great year!

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
