    Pretty Personalized Jewelry From Onecklace #TMMGG16

    November 30, 2016 - By 

    What’s in a name? Well, a lot actually. Your name is tied to your identity. You hear it or read it probably hundreds of times a week. Paula seems like a fairly common name, but honestly growing up I was rarely able to find my name on things like personalized jewelry. My girls know this well. They both have fairly unique names that are not available on the kind of products you find in catalogues. That’s kind of why I love Onecklace. They have the prettiest silver and gold pieces that you can make personalized jewelry out of and give…

    Jubilee Ministries, Lusaka #TTOT #vaccineswork

    November 28, 2016 - By 

    I have learned many tricks to keep from crying. But none of them work in this community in Western Lusaka, Africa. On an October day when still jet lagged we meet three Zambians changing Lusaka one heart at a time. Making an impact by ministering to the needs of Zambians in a community that sits on the outskirts of Lusaka. This is a neighbourhood devastated by AIDS and HIV. And this is the story that breaks my heart the most during our stay in Zambia.   It’s our first day here and we have travelled all over Lusaka, Zambia. We started…

    Family Friendly Entertainment with Wind at My Back #TMMGG16

    November 27, 2016 - By 

    Family friendly entertainment is important to me. I know my kids see and hear things out in the world that I have no control over. But at home, I want to make sure that the shows we watch are pretty wholesome. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not All PG, All The Time. We’ll watch Marvel movies and on my own I watch The Walking Dead. But when we watch together, family friendly entertainment is the rule.   Family Friendly TV – Wind at My Back This Holiday Season why not give a gift set of one of the most family…

    Nuryl Baby Brain App Using Smart Music

    November 24, 2016 - By 

    Have you heard of Nuryl app? Perhaps you should pay attention to this new baby brain app. Smart music equals a smart baby. It’s true. Science has shown that children who engage in musical activities do better in school across the board, especially in math. That same connection between music and better learning holds true for babies as well. That’s why Rick Beato, classically trained musician and former professor, developed Nuryl app. It’s a music app designed to boost baby’s cognitive development. So smart music really does qual a smart baby. When my daughters were very small I read a lot…

    Christmas Guide to Cover Everyone on Your List

    November 18, 2016 - By 

    We could all use a bit of help figuring out what to gift this time of year. A Christmas guide is a useful tool. With so many people on our respective lists and so many different interests, it can be hard to get the right gifts for everyone. It seems that every year, we fall more and more into the “gift card rut,” that place where we say, “You can’t go wrong with a gift card.” While gift cards are great to receive, it’s always nice to give a physical gift. This Christmas guide features companies than span the gifting spectrum to…

    Personalized Twiga Fitness Leggings

    November 18, 2016 - By 

    Twiga fitness leggings are my new favourite. Let me tell you why. I spend a decent amount of time at the gym. Some weeks not as much as I wish, and other weeks exactly the right amount for me. I need proper gear when I am at the gym doing centergy, or weights, or pilates, or group fit. For the summer I have shorts I love that are moisture wicking and work beautifully for me. In the winter I have warm full length yoga pants that are also my office wear some days. It’s the in between times where I…
