Grace by Max Lucado book review

To contact us Click HERE
I was able to read Grace by Max Lucado through Book sneeze and I have to say its the best Max Lucado book I have ever read.

I think Max has really developed his writing skills to both teach us and uplift us. I had read a few of his study books about 8 years god and though I liked them they were just on in the caliber as Grace is.

I learned so much from this book as well as discover that some of the things I learned on my own are also taught in this book. Grace is the kind of book everyone interested in really learning about the subject should read. I thought each lesson was packed full of things I could apply to my life.

If you are in the market for a really good devotional teaching book maybe to read like I do in the morning before starting your day than Grace by Max Lucado is an awesome choice. I really looked forward to the time I spent reading it and its sure to be a Christian classic.

This book would be really great for a study group because after you read the chapters you have a readers guide with weekly in depth study of the scriptures that I found most helpful. This is a great book for giving as a gift or for yourself to enrich your life and help you be strong in your walk with Christ . thanks for reading my review of Grace by Max Lucado :)

SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel review and giveaway

To contact us Click HERE

I wanted to let all you moms and grandmothers know about SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel. I recently got to try some free in order to do this blog post.

first I think this is a really great product to have on hand especially if your kids are going back to school and getting back to playing sports or just fun play ground activities. We all know this means scrapes and other injuries will be common in the months ahead. This is why its a really good idea to keep on hand some of this SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel.

SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel, is a first aid gel that protects cuts ,scrapes and burns with 48 hour antibacterial protection. What this means for you is you can keep the bandage on the scrape for 48 hours with out worrying about changing it as long as it stays dry and clean.

Everyone knows that kids really hate to have their bandages removed form the injury and even Im a little shy about that myself lol. Removing a bandage can be a bit unpleasant so being able to keep that bandage on for a full 2 days ,knowing the wound is safe from harmful MRSAs is a blessing.

SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel,is developed for Kids and moms so that the pain of having a wound is much easier to protect and care for with minimal ouchiness ( I know that not a word lol)

The wonderful people who make SAFESKIN Kids Antibacterial Gel are offering you a coupon to print, so you can add this to your first aid box and be ready for all those scrapes and cuts that signal the start of the coming sports season. You can print the coupons here. Print safeskin coupon

101 Update: Pinterest do and don't recipes

To contact us Click HERE
Working on my inner DIYer.

Who is a Pinterest fanatic? I am, I am, I am. A big part of my addiction is the recipe section. And since trying 10 new recipes was a 101 in 1001 goal of mine Pinterest was the perfect place to scope out new recipes.

However, things don't always turn out like those perfect food photography shots. So here a few ratings on my latest Pinterest recipe tries.

Raspberry Delight: A++++
This recipe has been so far my biggest Pinterest success. I have made it twice already and people are asking for it again. Winner. You can find the recipe here.

Balsamic and Brown Sugar Grilled Strawberries: BThey were ok. I think I'll stick with grilling peaches as my fruit of choice. They kind of tasted like strawberry jam, and they make your grill really sticky.

Watermelon and Strawberry Lemonade: AI forgot to take a picture of this when I made it, but I loved this recipe. (Maybe it was the vodka I added). It is a little unusual to drink watermelon. There is definitely a texture to the drink, but I really enjoyed it.

Rachel Ray's Southwestern Chili Con Queso Pasta Bake: B+The recipe was pretty good, but not nearly as good as the picture looked. It makes a huge quantity so in our two person household we had tons of leftovers. Also, it definitely has some kick to it. I would probably turn back the amount of jalepeno I and chili powder used next time.

Crock Pot Cheesy Ravioli Recipe: CI was hoping this recipe would really turn out and would be a good option for me to make at the state fair. However, I don't think this recipe tasted any better than boiling Ravioli and pouring sauce on top of it. I cooked the recipe the minimum amount of time and it was still quite mushy. This won't be a repeat recipe in our house. 
What Pinterest successes have you had? Did you know that there is a website called Pinterst Fail? Definitely worth checking out. 
Also, there has been a lot of discussion on my blog post yesterday about USDA School Lunches. I hope you'll check it out and weigh in. Happy Wednesday! 

Here's you chance to #AskUSDA about #SchoolFoodsRule

To contact us Click HERE
They are giving us a forum.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 29, the USDA will be talking about the new changes to the School Lunch Program at 1:00 PM EST

Some things that I hope are discussed:

1. Does this one-size all approach to nutrition really work?
2. Will those children who rely on school lunches as a vital part of their nutrition suffer?
3. How should children who are athletes deal with the restriction in calories?
4. Why can't we provide more lean protein for our growing kids?

The good news. By tweeting to @USDA with the hashtags #AskUSDA and #SchoolFoodsRule your questions could be answered. Janey Thaney, Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services will be leading the chat. Hopefully, she has a much clearer understanding of the new changes that Secretary Tom Vilsack did in this interview.

For more perspective on these changes check out this great post from mom Debbie Blythe "School Lunches are Not Making our Kids Fat."
