Mental Moments vs Mental Breakdowns

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Mental Moments vs Mental Breakdowns I’m going to keep this short, sweet, and to the point! Brevity is not my strong suit, but I have had the most exciting and exhausting week with all of the MANY homecoming activities and events of the past week. We all had fun taking part in the traditions that root us to our community. Many memories were made painting overalls, exchanging garters and mums,

Easy Taco Soup

by Nora Leave a Comment

Taco Soup is one of my family’s favorite!  They love the fact that the house smells so yummy and also that they get to use sour cream, cheese, avocado and chips for toppings.  They always got back for seconds, so leftovers are out of the question.  If you want to have lunch for the next day to bring to work, I suggest making much more than you think you need.

Check Out the View from the High Road

by Melissa Leave a Comment

The View from the High Road is Always Better I spoke to my sister-in-law yesterday and got some great news. Her family is coming for Thanksgiving. I know many of you don’t necessarily enjoy the company of your in-laws, but I do…These are even my EX-in-laws. I am thankful to say that I have been able to maintain great relationships with my ex-husband’s family, and we have been divorced for

DIY Gift Basket

by Nora Leave a Comment

This is a super easy and awesome gift idea!  My oldest daughter had a friend who had knee surgery and she wanted to make her something special and give her a few things to keep her occupied while she recovers.  This small gesture put a big smile on her friend’s face.                             We went to the store to buy a few supplies.  We picked up a variety of candies, a

Regain Control of Life

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Feeling Overwhelmed? 6 Ways to Regain Control of Life Honestly, I’ve come to the realization that I have somewhat let myself go over the past few years. It’s not something I really want to admit, and I’m certainly not proud of it. I’ve put on some weight, stopped eating as healthy as I used to, and have drastically reduced the time I spend exercising. Reality smacked me in the face

8 Easy Ways to Save Money at Home

8 Easy Ways to Save Money at Home I have yet to meet a single person who wishes he had less money, except The Notorious B.I.G who rapped about it in “Mo Money Mo Problems” In all fairness, my statement still holds true as I never met Biggie Smalls, and this song was released posthumously in his “Life After Death” album (If you’re in the mood to get up and

Thoughts and Prayers Versus Actions

by Melissa Leave a Comment

Thoughts and Prayers Versus Actions One of our readings this week at church was James 2:14-18, and it really stirred something in me. The scripture says: What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you
