For those of you observing Lent, how is it going? Well, just keepin' it real here on the blog...but I'm a big Lent failure!! For the first week, I did great...now, I've pretty much fallen off the bandwagon. So, let me just tell you...I have stayed off of facebook AND the blog reading...so in those 2 small areas there has been success.

Real Food
The past few weeks I've been reading a book called Real Food, by Nina Planck. If you are interested in moving your family's eating habits into a more healthy direction, I highly recommend this book!

Over the past few years I have had times of moving towards eating healthier and ... Read More about Real Food

I came across this prayer and knew it was *for me!* So many things that I struggle with are listed in this prayer! I am not familiar or comfortable with praying "written prayers." But during this Lent season, I am going to try it. My hope is that the times during the day when I find myself wanting to get on the computer or wanting to "connect" with other moms (which is why I get online alot of the time!) that I can pull out a prayer already written for me...and stay focused. Of course, I will ... Read More about Litany of Humility
Lent & Easter ideas
I have shared about how I will be taking a break from alot of my computer time during Lent. I did want to leave you with a list of Lent/Easter ideas...as I'm so excited about some of the resources I have found!Books & Resources *this first book, Journey to the Cross, will be our "main" text in addition to the Bible.
