    Pretty Personalized Jewelry From Onecklace #TMMGG16

    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

    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 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…
