    If you are at all like me you sort of dread the entire lunch ritual. Packing lunches is tedious and there are only so many ways you can make a sandwich or wrap exciting. Fortunately, the kids in this family make their own lunches, but even still it can get boring. Sometimes something as simple as a treat, or a note can jazz things up a bit. That’s why I thought you might enjoy these cute Christmas jokes. Q. What’s a snowman’s favourite lunch? A. A snowberger. These adorable Christmas lunch jokes are just for you.

    20 Elegant DIY Winter Manicures

    December 1, 2016 - By 

    Are you creative and clever when it comes to makeup and manicures? I am not the most creative or talented in that regard. But my two daughters are forever googling DIY nail tutorials. Some of their favourite Youtubers are beauty vloggers. So, I figured this year I might bundle up a few pretty winter manicure ideas here to share with you and with my girls too. I love the cute little designs that some people can pull off without any effort at all. Well, at least it looks that way to me, because it takes me forever just to draw…

    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…
