Did you all have a good Christmas? We had such a great holiday, and I can’t wait to recap it for you all!But before I get to that, did any of you lucky people out there get a flat screen TV for Christmas? I know there were some great sales out there. If you did, then you will probably need some flat screen...
I don't know who has the time to do this, but I thought this was really cool.... its a mash-up of all the 2010 Vogue covers! Pretty cool, albeit pointless. But isn't that what fashion is all about? go HERE to see the mash-up covers from around the world. ...
Its Pet Week over at I Heart Faces. And its no secret how much I love my kitty boys... we've had them since before we were married... picked them out of their litter when they were just hours old! And they are often the subjects of my photographs... I just can't get enough of their cute cuddly faces.I love the personality that each...
So that one day, you can really LIVE like no one else!This is the motto that Dave Ramsey drills into your head during his Financial Peace University classes. The idea is that you live like no one else right now (paying cash, not eating out, making huge financial sacrifices), so that once all your debt is paid off, you can really LIVE like...
I came across this video that is a behind the scenes look at a software company called "Infusionsoft". Take a few minutes to watch this video, then tell me that you wouldn't want to work for them! Aside from the vast array of cereals and flavored popcorns available to employees 24/7, and regardless of the indoor football field, tetherball courts and cozy reading...
Every year, I send out Christmas cards. I absolutely love it!! I am a huge fan of snail mail, and enjoy doing my part to keep the US Postal Service in business. There is just something so heartwarming about getting an actual envelope in the mail, addressed just to you and yours.So that’s why I was so excited when I heard about Shutterfly’s...

If you saw any of my pictures from our trip to Egypt, you may remember this picture:It is of a tattoo booth in the area of Cairo where the Christians live, called Muqattum. I'm kicking myself for not blogging about this adventure (maybe I'll go back and write about our trip later), but all the Christians in Egypt get tattoos, most of them...
I've officially found my dream home. Almost.Castle Victorian Dream Home (<---------- clicky)I just saw this place is for sale, too y'all! For less than a $Mil! Several years ago, my parents bought their own dream home. It was an old victorian house in Wagoner, OK. Some day I will do a longer post on this house but I absolutely loved it. There's a...
I love this picture of me and my daddy... I snapped it just before he and I went out for a ride in his 1960 MGA that he rebuilt from nothing but a rusted frame. I have such great memories of that car, and the 18 years it took him to fix it!! This is the perfect picture for this week's I Heart...
Its been six months since we held our baby girl. I can't believe time has gone by so quickly. We miss her so much every day, but are equally grateful for the time we did get to have with her. I don't take one second of the 30 weeks I carried her for granted. And I would do it all again in a...
So another blog on my blogroll is the blog of Whittaker Woman... Like the majority of my bloroll reads, I don't know her personally but somewhere, someday when I was bloghopping, I happened upon her 'corner' of the 'net and liked what I read so I bookmarked it. Today, she had a post of things she wants do while she's alive... so that...

Cairo really is such a beautiful, interesting, multi-cultural city that is just full of beautiful surprises. The Egyptian people are just so beautiful, welcoming and friendly-- Several times while we were out and about, people...
I've been doing some research for a series of devotions that I'm writing for a work project. The original idea was to write the devotions on the subject of abstinence and it will accompany some presentations we are going to be doing with church teens/parents. But as I'm getting into this more, the topics of holiness, purity and the sanctity of human life...
