what’s your status?

April 10, 2012 by Carmalyn

I admit it.... I am one of those who love facebook!  Yep, throughout my day  I love to check up on my "Friends", see what they are up to...  but good golly, miss molly.... can't you keep it positive?  Do you have one of those fb friends who always lets you know just how awful their day is?  "spilled the coffee"  " missed the bus"  "late to work"  "traffic was terrible" "got over charged at the … [Read more...] about what’s your status?

I’m a Princess (part 1)

March 23, 2012 by Carmalyn

Well... I'm a Princess cruiser... Yep!   Who would have thunk it?  Cruising to Paradise?  Well, actually, ME! I’ve been dreaming of blue waters and white sand beaches for a LONG time. And my sweet husband knew that...  After all, living in Texas, the beach we see most often is Galveston… Where the water is brown (ugh) and filled with jelly fish on the yucky beach. Bleck. So last fall Robert … [Read more...] about I’m a Princess (part 1)

f$fty-two

March 22, 2012 by Carmalyn

Yes. f$fty-two. 52 weeks ago Robert and I attended a Financial Peace University course at our church. According to The Wall Street Journal, 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. That means 7 out of 10 families on your street—your friends and neighbors—are only one paycheck away from disaster.  Financial Peace University (FPU) can bring you  peace, stability and hope.. The 13-week … [Read more...] about f$fty-two

Google is my friend

March 2, 2012 by Carmalyn

Recently I feel like I have needed to update my parenting.  We've had some "new" experiences come up as the kids continue to grow and evolve and as I continue to grow and evolve as a mom.  Whenever I am coaching moms of younger children I always remind them that when they stumble upon a new parenting event, it is so important to research to see A.) what is out there and B.) what is normal. This … [Read more...] about Google is my friend

The return of the hug

March 2, 2012 by Carmalyn

I am a few short months away from having 2 teenagers!  What?! *sigh* When we became parents we always from day one, had a great bedtime routine for the kids. For a good ten years or so it included reading night time books, singing little songs, big hugs and kisses then a tickle and a tuck in. Slowly as the kids started growing up, pieces of the good night routine have fallen by the wayside… … [Read more...] about The return of the hug

5:52 Create

February 12, 2012 by Carmalyn

This week's word challenge for the 52 week challenge, is CREATE!  Well, create... I did :) This challenge was perfectly timed.  I spent Sunday afternoon talking to a group of beautiful 7th grade girls.  Their sponsor had asked if I would do a talk on self confidence.  I love this age!  My talk focused on "words" we put in our head.  I spent the afternoon challenging them to believe in … [Read more...] about 5:52 Create

4:52 Rest

February 5, 2012 by Carmalyn

I had to post this photo of my new kitties when I found out the word of the week was "Rest".  These kitties remind me over and over that the key to health is play hard, sleep hard!  I have been having so much fun watching them.  First they wake up for the day and run, play, jump, slide, rumble, hide, pounce, repeat...then after a lot of fun, a lot of rumbling, a lot of playing, they snuggle up … [Read more...] about 4:52 Rest
