Happy Memorial Day

When I was a little girl my mom and dad would load us in the car with rakes and hoes.  We would travel to Heber AZ to clean the graves of my grandparents, sisters, and other family graves around them.  I loved doing this!  It is one of my all time favorite memories.  I still do this with my kids or like today my kid.  We went to Pima and Thatcher Cemetery but all the graves were already cleaned so we didn't have much to do. 

I love this day, I love thinking about all those who paid a huge price so I could have the freedom I have today.  I love thinking of my ancestors and all they went through so I could have the freedom I have today.  I love this country.  I love the flag and what it represents.  I may disagree with the leaders from time to time but I do not disagree with what this country stands for.  FREEDOM! The next time you want to sit  while the National Anthem is being sung or the next time you do not put your hand on your heart because you don't like what our leaders are doing I want you to  think about all those people that died so you could have the freedom to not solute the flag that represents your freedom.  I want you to think about all those people that died so you can talk bad about our leaders.  If you have a problem with the way the country is being run then Step up and do something instead of just talking about how awful they are.  Step up and do something besides disrespect our flag and country.  Be a doer not a complainer.   Next time put your hand on your heart and think about the FREEDOM you have and Step up!

A Different Kind of Mission

A Different Kind of Mission By Lena Mattice When my son was a junior in high school, he told me he wanted to play college football. I smiled and told him, “Okay—but it’s going to take a lot of work.” I asked, “And,What about serving a mission?” We talked about different scenarios, wondering if a college might let him serve and then return to play. But we had no idea where to even begin in getting colleges to notice him. His coach mentioned a football camp three hours away. So we drove, and he participated. A few coaches took interest and said they’d be watching his senior year. But that senior year was right after COVID. Schedules were unpredictable, and opportunities were uncertain. We still didn’t know who to talk to or how to get his name out there. Then, during Homecoming week, the team we were scheduled to play had to cancel due to a COVID outbreak. His coach jumped on Twitter, trying to find a replacement team. He found one—but they were two divisions above ours. We needed a gam...

 How does weight loss  play into raising kids.  If you are an emotional eater raising kids plays a huge role in weight loss.  I've said it before, raising kids is a hard feat.  But raising kids is the greatest joy you will see in this life.  When your child runs up to you and is so happy to see you, that fills your  hear with so much joy!       Now back to weight loss.  Pregnancy is hard on a woman's body.  Some women can bounce back real quick  but some women like myself , their bodies do not bounce back in fact after one natural birth and 3 C-sections my body shows that it did not bounce back very well at all.  The more I lea rn about it, the more I realize that my body did not bounce back very well because of the choices I made after my babies were born.  If I would have ate healthy along with my exercise  maybe my body would have bounced back a little better.  When I was nursing my babies...

The Jack Rabbit Factor by Leslie Householder

 In the early 2000's I was introduced to the writings of Leslie Householder.  There was an author that I followed named Marnie Pehrson now her last name is Kuhns.  She is a great author and I started following her because she started a club called The Clean Romance Club. I was always looking for authors that wrote clean romance.  Anyways one day I received an email from her talking about Leslie Householder and asking all her followers to follow her at Rare Faith. com  I was very interested in the topic rare faith so I went to her website and subscribed to her emails.  I found her newsletter and web site very interesting and at that point I knew that one day I would want to look into what she was talking about.  Now because I had 4 little ones and a day care to run, I felt like I didn't have time to pursue the things Leslie was talking about at that time.  I took her emails and put them in a folder to save for a later date that I would have time to...
