I am a lover of jewelry. Especially silver and copper necklaces and earrings so totally my style! When I discovered handstamped jewelry, I was in heaven. Beautiful silver jewelry that can be personalized to become one of the best gifts ever or a keepsake for yourself. People put their childrens names on them, their favorite short sayings, words that mean something to them (like faith or hope), or names and dates that mean something to them. So. Cool! Sentimental Silver (dont you love that name?) carries personalized handstamped tag necklaces, pendants of all shapes and sizes, pendants with small sparkly jewels (my favorite), and jewelry especially for couples with hearts galore. You can even personalize with photos! You could definitely have a lot of fun with this About Sentimental Silver: Christi Farr is the creator of all the jewelry at Sentimental Silver. The pendants, each made from pure silver, are…

The Enclave by Karen HancockBethany House Publishers (July 2009)My Rating: (5/5) Short Synopsis: (Publishers Weekly) Researcher Lacey McHenry has a lowly position at the cutting edge Kendall-Jakes Longevity Institute, where a peculiar intruder sets off a complex chain of events that draws together McHenry and researcher Cameron Reinhardt a man with a powder keg of a pastas the two try to solve the riddles that keep cropping up in their workplace. My Thoughts/Review: Okay, that synopsis is not doing this book justice. But my attempts at a short synopsis are pretty sad because this is a very involved book there is so much going on! You have probably deduced by now from my rating that I loved this book. I did! Karen Hancock is an amazing author. My first book written by Karen was Arena, a book that I HIGHLY recommend if youre into sci-fi and fantasy actually I recommend…

Welcome to week two of the Looney Tunes Eating Right Kids Program! Last week I shared my personal challenges getting my toddler to eat healthy. As a reminder, over the next five weeks Ill be sharing my experiences and tips on teaching our kids to eat more healthy, and Ill be hoping for tips from you as well!

I remember as a kid knowing when my mom was sneaking candy. I dont know…
Well, its still Tuesday to me because I havent gone to bed yet. Wait, I did go to bed. Then Emma woke me and I cant go back to sleep now because of the thoughts that are swirling around in my head. I hate it when that happens! I think Emma had a stomach ache or something because she didnt take her milk or lose her pacifier, the usual causes of nighttime cries for her. She just cried and stared up at me reproachfully. I feel soooo helpless in those cases, knowing theres something wrong and shes not even able to tell me what hurts. Thankfully after about five minutes of rocking her while patting and rubbing her back, she burped and shes back down now. *whew* But Im not back down. *sigh* Anyway, on to my random thoughts: We totally scored today (yesterday) on packages. I received two AWESOME…

Hi everyone! Welcome to the first Creative Mamas Monday! Im really excited about sharing crafts and tutorials with you all. I think now that the weather is cooling off were going to start thinking more about making things for Christmas and for the cold months. Today I want to talk about crocheting. Once you learn a few basics, you can do anything! Its a versatile craft and very rewarding. Take a look at some of the things I have made for Emma: I crocheted this blanket while I was pregnant using multicolored soft baby yarn and a corresponding solid color for the border so easy, its just a giant granny square! Can you say Repetition? lol These hats are super simple just crochet a rectangle and stitch the sides together! I love this hat with tassles. 🙂 I see glaring errors in these projects lol. See, Im a beginner. But…
