"Take Me to the King"

2014-02-27T14:35:00.001-08:00

The first time I ever heard this song, it really struck a note within me. How many times as a Christian are we discouraged; just going through the motions of Church and we obviously don't want to give up or walk away. But the fight has worn on us.

It's times like this, I encourage myself with a song, remind myself that it's not my strength I need to rely on, and lean on HIM, the who is my strength.

So today, I'd like to leave a bit of encouragment to those who a battle weary.

Psalm 46 KJV

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

This life is full of sadness, anger, and many hurting people. So I challenge you to look around your work place, school, and your neighborhood. Look deeper than what people say, and see if God won't lead you to someone who needs HIM.

Lyrics:

TAMELA MANN -

Take Me To The King Lyrics

I don't have much to bring
My heart is torn in pieces
It's my offering

Truth is I'm tired
Options are few
I'm trying to pray
But where are you?
I'm all churched out
Hurt and abused
I can't fake
What's left to do?

Truth is I'm weak
No strength to fight
No tears to cry
Even if I tried
But still my soul
Refuses to die
One touch will change my life

I don't have much to bring
My heart's torn in pieces
It's my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song
Please take me to the King

Truth is it's time
To stop playing these games
We need a word
For the people's pain

So Lord speak right now
Let it fall like rain
oh, yeah, We're desperate
We're chasing after you

No rules, no religion
I've made my decision
To run to You –
The healer that I need

I don't have much to bring
My heart's torn to pieces
It's my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And to sing to You this song

Take me to the...

Lord we're in the way
We keep making mistakes
Glory is not for us
It's all for You

I don't have much to bring
My heart's torn to pieces
It's my offering

Lay me at the throne
Leave me there alone
To gaze upon Your glory
And sing to You this song

I had my first Quiz in college last week

2014-02-24T15:16:00.000-08:00

Boy was I ever scared too!

Leeeeeeeeettt's just say I graduated in 2000, so this is the first time I am going back to school since then.

When I started college, I had no idea what it was going to be like. I anticipated it to be SUPER HARD, but it's not. In fact, it's a little too easy. Maybe because I am only taking Child Development classes, but if I don't get an A on my quiz, I'd be surprised.

I'm just thankful that I felt confident enough on my first quiz, and that I didn't blank out.

We've reached 10,000 visitors! Time for a giveaway!

2014-02-21T13:32:00.000-08:00

So excited that we reached 10,000 views. In honor of that, I will be giving away a $5 gift card to Starbucks or Jamba Juice. If you are interested in this giveaway, please leave a comment below with a topic suggestion you'd like to see covered here on the blog, AND pick a number between 1-300. Limit of 1 entry per person. Winners will be chosen at random with an online number picker. Contest ends February 28, 2014 @11:59pm PSD.

Paid Focus groups, who doesn't want a little extra spending money

2014-02-21T13:22:00.001-08:00

So I recently signed up for a Focus group company that pays you for your time to test products. It's in Pleasanton. They ask you a bunch of questions to check if you can be part of the study group. I signed up, and got a $5 gift card to starbucks, but you can choose from several different options. I haven't been called for any focus groups yet, but there are a few local moms that have, and they've made $60 here, and $100 there.It got me to thinking, that I should let others know about it too. I'm sure everyone would love to make a few dollars. So if you want to sign up, email me at AMWcoupon[at]gmail[dot]com and I will send you the invite. It's free and no obligations.

REVIEW: thred UP! It's better than going to the thrift store.

2014-01-28T15:16:00.002-08:00

Just want to say how happy I was with my order from thred UP. What's thred up you say?

It's an awesome site - you can buy or conveniently sell excellent-quality women's and kids clothing. They’ve got everything from Gucci to Gap, J Crew to Justice - at up to 90% off retail prices! The best part is, they're local, AND I can get you $10 off your first purchase with this link.

I originally purchased a few items, and got a great deal on them. Their customer service/quality control is awsome! I found this really cute dress for my niece, so I added it to my purchase. Upon shipping, they noticed a spot, so what did they do? THEY REFUNDED ME! Not only did they refund me for the dress, but they also sent the dress. So essentially, I got it for free. Threw it in the washer, and the spot was gone.

So how does it work, well there are two areas that thred UP specializes in. One, buying and two, selling.

thredUP is the easiest way to save on great clothing brands and hand down clothing your family no longer wears for cash. We're like a consignment boutique - but simpler. On thredUP you can refresh your family's entire wardrobe online, without ever leaving your house.

Here's how it works:

SHOP: Browse thousands of like-new clothing items, which we've hand-selected and certified for quality. You'll find all your favorite brands discounted up to 80% off year-round. Shop »

CLEAN OUT: When your family has clothing they no longer wear (kids, juniors and women's), simply fill up a thredUP bag and put it on your doorstep. thredUP covers the shipping, and pays you for every item we can hand down to other families. Hand down »

With so many sites popping up on the internet, it hard to know which ones are safe and legit to order from. I can't say enough good things about thred up. So if you're looking for something in particular, check out thred UP here.

College, Books and Financial Aid...Oh MY!

2014-01-22T10:13:00.001-08:00

So I recently decided to go back to school. Let me just say college can be overwhelming if you don't know what you are doing, and I clearly did not know what I was doing...lol!

I had a general idea on what classes I wanted to take, but I just had to make sure I was taking the right ones. I initially thought I was signing up for a local college (LANEY), but it turns out the classes are offered at a sister college (MERRITT).

I also started this process about a week or two before Christmas 2013. After 3 trips between the two campuses, I finally realized what I needed to do. Here is what happened...lol!

So off to the college I went. Only it was not the right college campus! Upon arriving at the college, I decided to hit up financial aid first.....so glad I did. (Thankfully, I had already applied for admissions and FAFSA, that much I did know how to do)

At the Financial aid office, the line was OUT OF THE DOOR CRAZY LONG! So I stood in line, and waited......and waited....and waited even more, for almost 2 hours only to be told I needed to go to Merritt to apply for Financial aid. However, the guy I spoke with was not very clear at all, I had no idea why I couldn't just got to Laney (where I thought my classes were going to be at). I then headed up to see a counselor, only everyone else had the same idea, and I was turned away because they could not see me because of the long line of other students waiting. So I went home. :( Still worried I might be in the wrong classes.

Long story short, a trip to Merritt, a bus ride downtown to Oakland IRS, and back to Merrit, I FINALLY got financial aid taken care of, my fees waived, and enrolled in the right classes.

The cost of college text books are CRAZY expensive. So I did some research, rented my books from here, used a coupon from here, and also used a cash back site on my online purchase from here. Overall for two classes, I spent $37.46 on my books! THATS AMAZING! It broke down like this:

Subtotal: $39.43
Tax: $3.55
Shipping: $5.99
6% Off coupon: -$2.37
Free Shipping: -$5.99
Total: $40.61

PLUS I'll get 8% cashback from shopathome.com (so that's another $3.15)

So my GRAND TOTAL I paid was: $37.46!!

I saved $344.00 over the cost of buying my books brand new instead of renting them. To add icing to the cake, the site I ordered from also has free shipping back to them for rented books.

So if you do your research, books don't have to cost you an arm and a leg.

REVIEW: Buying bulk chicken from Zaycon foods. I highly recommend.

2014-01-16T14:00:00.002-08:00

I have to say, to the average household who goes grocery shopping several times a week, buying 40lbs of chicken breast from Zaycon foods can be super scary (and downright wasteful if you don't know what to do with it.). But with a little planning and a little prep time, you can make this,

turn into this,

Note: this is only what 20lbs looks like. So double what you see for a 40lb box.

My 20lbs made 11 meals. 3 meal portions of shredded chicken, 6 half breast whole, 3 meal portions of chicken cutlets, 2 meal portions of stir-fry chicken, and 5 cups of chicken broth. I only had 13oz of fat i needed to trim and about 1.5 cups of liquid waste. Well worth the price. This lasted my family of 5 (3 adults, two kids) for 2 months.

Last time I purchased a box, I split the box with a friend. Inside each box there are 4 bags of large chicken breast (each breast weighs about 16oz or more and they come with both halves together, so that is approx. 32oz) To say that you can share a single breast is an understatement. An average portion size in a restaurant and/or grocery store is about 5-8oz each.

I HIGHLY recommend buying from Zaycon. chicken taste wonderful. It's farm fresh, never frozen, hormone free, and usually straight from the slaughter house to your door step. No middle man or waiting to be packaged in grocery stores. The current price Zaycon is offering on chicken is $1.89/lb. Costco is approx $2.99/lb or more. Grocery store chains, may be closer to the price Zaycon is offering, BUT the quality that you get from Zaycon is MUCH better!

The awesome thing about Zaycon is that they not only have chicken, but ground beef, bacon, strawberries, and MANY more items. So if you are interested in signing up to see if Zaycon will be in your area, and what dates, go here. You won't be sorry.

Oh how I have missed the blogging world, but ~~things,~~ no, life has a way of taking up your time, if you know what I mean. I've been soo busy that I had to set a few things down and one, was my blog.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still super busy with life and it's many, MANY, MANY, twist and turns, but setting a few minutes aside a few times a week won't be too much to ask now will it?

My last blog post was well over two years ago. So as a refresher to all, I'd like to post 15 things about me.

1. I love God, my husband, and my two kids.
2. I have two littles here on earth (One boy and One girl) and 4 littles in Heaven.
3. I've been married for 8 years to my best friend.
4. I moved out "on my own" when I was only 17.
5. I love baking.
6. I hate the gap in between my teeth. I'm super self conscious about it.
7. I am a couponer and a bargain hunter by nature. (I'm sure you'll see tons of that in the future)
8. I usually drive the long road trips and always make my husband drive around town.
9. My favorite fruit...Nectarines, but now white nectarines!
10. I nearly drowned at 2. My babysitters son (who was 3) saved my life, and I vividly remember it.
11. I sing, but not as good as I imagine I can.
12. I'd love to own a plantation style home
13. My favorite childhood book is "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs"
14. I'd love to one day own my own bakery.

and finally...

15. My favorite food is Mexican! I heart salsa and chip in particular. I have been known to eat several baskets by myself...lol!

Here's to blogging once again!

Happy 1st birthday to Josiah Daniel!

Day 5 of the "I too can bake bread challenge" -A Penny Loaf

2011-08-30T03:37:00.000-07:00

So today is the day that we can eat the fruits of our labor. Just think, you'll be a bread making pro in no time. Not only is it fun, but it's also super cheap to make (hence the title of the post). If you are just joining in or if you've missed any of the installments of our "I too can bake bread challenge" you can catch up here to get started on your sourdough, or if you are ready to bake, you can catch up here.

To bake:
Once your 12 hour allotment of time has expired, you can proceed with either of the directions. As I have stated before, I do not have a degree in Molecular Science of Culinary Creations, (see here for the inside joke) nor am I advocating to be an expert, I'm just basing it off of my past bakes. I have done bread either way, and both taste just as good.

For both set of directions you will need the following:

Flour for dusting the board and your fingertips
Cornmeal or Wheat bran to dust loaf
Parchment paper (optional) or Proofing basket
Dough scraper
Cooking spray
Tea towel
Dutch oven, corning ware dish with lid, or clay dish with clay lid

Flour your board/counter top, and turn dough out. Semi flatten the dough out trying not to be too rough with it. Dust with more flour on top.

Fold dough into thirds. If dough sticks to your board, use your dough scraper to help fold the dough.

Fold dough into thirds again. This should sorta resemble a square.

Lightly spray parchment or proofing basket with cooking oil and dust with cornmeal. Move dough onto dusted parchment paper, and back into your clean mixing bowl. This helps round out the dough.

Now here is where the directions will differ. Direction #1 will bake immediately, and direction #2 will bake after resting 2 hours.

Directions #1:

If using these directions, preheat your oven to 500 degrees adding in your baking dish and lid into the preheating oven before you fold your dough.

Once your oven has been preheated for 15-30 minutes, place your dough into the heated baking dish and cover with the lid.

Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes. Remove the lid after 30 minutes, lower the temperature to 450 degrees, and bake an additional 15-20 minutes.

Directions #2:

After rounding out the dough, let it rest for 1:30 minutes. After the allotted time, preheat your oven to 500 degrees adding in your baking dish and lid into the preheating oven.

Allow an additional 30 minutes of rest while your oven is preheating. Bake with the lid on for 30 minutes. Remove the lid after 30 minutes, lower the temperature to 450 degrees, and bake an additional 15-20 minutes.

Once your bread is done, DO NOT cut into it. As tempting as it is to eat HOT fresh baked bread, it still needs to cool down. I have found that my bread is drier if I cut into it too soon. So remember your patience will be rewarded for waiting.

I hope that you have found this tutorial helpful, and if you have any other tutorials you would like me to do, please feel free to leave me a comment.

Also, don't forget to enter the contest for the $5.00 Amazon gift card I have going. I still only have one entrant. This giveaway will expire at 2:00 PM PST on September 1, 2011.Enjoy!

Day 4 of the "I too can bake bread challenge" - The sponge

2011-08-30T00:19:00.000-07:00

Ahhh...now comes the fun part, Baking the bread. I always start this bread the night before I want to have bread. For instance, if I want to serve this bread with my dinner on Monday, Sunday night before I go to bed, I mix my bread together and leave it to sit overnight. I have the luxury of baking during the day, but if your a working gal/guy, just go ahead and mix it before you go to work. By the time you get home from work, it should be well risen enough to bake for dinner.

Here is a list of ingredients that you will need:

16 ounces of flour (all purpose, whole wheat, bread or a combo) by weight or approximately 3 1/2 cups by measurement.
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1 1/2 cups of purified water
1/4 cup of Sourdough starter

Whisk dry ingredients together. Add sourdough starter to the water and stir until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir.

Your mixture should resemble thick pancake batter. It should be too wet to knead. Let's just say the wetter your dough is, the bigger the "crumb" will be. That means larger holes. :-)

Cover your bread with cling wrap, a plastic grocery bag, or lid (depending on your mixing bowl) and leave it overnight or for 12 hours.

Next stop is the actual baking tutorial. Enjoy!

Until next post,

Bryan & Kaleo-What true love looks like!

2011-08-29T00:18:00.000-07:00

A few weeks back we had the honor of attending the wedding of Bryan and Kaleo. These two have been sweethearts since I can't remember, yes really that long. Anyways, I have watched them grow up and become God fearing young adults. For those looking to get married in the future, take note. These two did it right! They are what true love and waiting is all about. Congratulations on your union. I (we) can't even express how happy I (we) are for you two.

As with all weddings there is always wedding cake. So when Sis. Kaleo asked me to make her wedding cake, I was honored to say the least. It's not like they can redo their wedding over next year (like a birthday). Overall, I felt very confident in making the cake, but it's still nerve wracking. I hope I didn't let you down. Here is the final product. Enjoy!

The two bottom tiers are dummy cakes, and top tier was a lemon cake with raspberry filling.

Until next post,

I didn't forget to bake bread...

2011-08-17T08:59:00.000-07:00

Sorry it's been super busy around here. I'll have the tutorial up in the next few days. In the process of baking the bread today. :)

Day 3 of the "I too can bake bread!" challenge- Toss and Feed

2011-08-07T08:28:00.000-07:00

From here on out, it's so easy that you'll wonder why you didn't start making bread ages ago.

For the next few days, you will be again repeating the following steps but with a minor change. You will need to toss out 1 cup of your starter, before feeding it. Please do not move on to the baking segment until your starter looks frothy and bubbly.

For Day 3, you will need the following:

1 cup of purified water
1 cup of Bread Flour or All-Purpose Flour (Not self-rising)
Something to stir your starter with (chopstick, spoon, but please no metal)

Remove 1 cup of starter and toss it in the bin. Add your 1 cup of additional flour and water. Stir to combine.

Once combined, it should look something like this. This starter is almost ready to make bread.

After a few days, if your starter looks like mine (see above for reference), all bubbly and frothy, just put it in the refrigerator until the next tutorial is up about baking bread.

The wonderful thing about starter is that it's pretty hearty once you capture the wild yeast. In the last post, I mentioned that you have about two cups of start, you will want to keep the volume around that. It's always best to refresh your starter with the same amount that you are keeping. So for instance, if you keep 1 cup, add 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of water...etc.

Once your starter is frothy and bubbly, you can just place it in the refrigerator and refresh it every week by following the same instructions as Day 3. If your starter is not bubbly, try feeding it for a minimum of 7 days (with Day 3 instructions) before tossing the whole batch and restarting. I'm not sure why, but sometimes the yeast doesn't capture well, and other times, it just takes off.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll do my best to answer them. This will conclude the starter part of the challenge. Next week, we bake bread.

Until next post,

Day 2 of the "I too can bake bread!" challenge- Frothy and bubbly

2011-08-04T09:52:00.000-07:00

WOW! My starter just took off, and it looks like I am WAY ahead of what most of you will be at right now.

For the next few days (anywhere from 2-7 days), you will be repeating the following steps in order to catch up. Please do not move on to the baking segment until your starter looks frothy and bubbly.

For Day 2, you will need the following:

1/2 cup of purified water
1/2 cup of Bread Flour or All-Purpose Flour (Not self-rising)
Something to stir your starter with (chopstick, spoon, but please no metal)

Add the additional flour and water to your starter and stir to combine. This is considered "feeding" your starter. Cover loosely with a lid again, stirring occasionally throughout that day.

At this point, you will have about 2 cups of starter. The rule of thumb is to double your starter when you "refresh" or "feed" it, and since we added a half cup, that is considered as doubling our starter.

Stay tuned in for Day 3.

Until next post,

Day 1 of the "I too can bake bread" Challenge

2011-08-02T22:30:00.000-07:00

Firstly, I want to apologize that this was not done in a more timely manner.....but I have an explanation for that. I had to get ahead of you so that you could know what your starter would look like. :)

With that being said, here is what you will need:

1/2 cup of purified water
1/2 cup of Bread Flour or All-Purpose Flour (Not self-rising)
Something to stir your starter with (chopstick, spoon, but please no metal)
Glass or Plastic container

Ingredients

Pour flour into container

Add water

Mix.

Give it a stir until combined.

Cover with a lid loosely. Do not seal it though.

Every few hours you will want to stir your mixture around. And that's all you need to do for Day 1.

**To enter the $5.00 Amazon gift card giveaway, please leave a comment on each of the "I too can bake bread" posts. One additional entry per person can be earned by blogging about the giveaway/challenge and leaving a separate comment including the link. A total of two entries per person maximum**

Happy baking and good luck!

The "I too can bake bread!" challenge...

2011-07-25T11:33:00.000-07:00

I just love fresh baked bread. Who doesn't love that soft texture slathered with butter? It's definitely not for the faint of heart with all that gluten. However, it can be quite healthy if you add whole grains to it, and not to mention filling.

To be honest, I've always been intimidated by making bread. I mean you've gotta have a degree in Molecular Science of Culinary Creations right? (Yes, I made that degree up). But honestly, it's sooooo easy to make bread. In just a few minutes of time over the course of two days, you too can have wonderful tasting bread that you will be proud to serve up on your dinner table.

So I would like to start an "I too can bake bread!" challenge. Over the next few days, I will be posting how to make your own sourdough starter, what it should look like, and how to have fresh baked bread that you can serve up for dinner, or use as your sandwich bread whenever you want it, and how to maintain your starter.

Now mind you, I have been only baking bread for a short while. All in all, about 3 months time. so I am in no way saying that I am an expert. So if you would like to participate in this challenge, head on over to your favorite store and pick up a bag of flour and purified water if you don't already have them. Most flours will work. You can of course use Bread flour, but I use all-purpose (not self-rising) because I like the flavor it gives.

I would also like to have a give away for (1) $5.00 Amazon gift card if you participate in the challenge. To be fair, I will give you the details on how to enter the giveaway in the first post that starts the challenge.

Until next post,

Josiah's first haircut

2011-07-22T15:12:00.000-07:00

On July 11th, we had Josiah's first haircut appointment. I was nervous and excited at the same time. He was a champ and didn't cry at all.......but I can't say the same for myself. I cried because well, my little man was growing up. I didn't cry right away, actually it was on the way home that I got to thinking about it. How 10 almost 11 months ago he was still nestled in my belly, and how birthing him brought such joy to our hearts, and a new love for our first born child. So yes, I got emotionaly and cried. That's what Mom's do best...but enough talk about tears. Here are a few pictures of his first haircut.

~Josiah playing before he got his hair cut~

~"HEY MOM! Can we get a train too?"~

~ "Share?" OOOOkkkaaay!"~

~Sitting in the tractor chair waiting for the cut.~

~"My very own Cellphone? Cool!"~

~Scissors just wern't "cutting" it close enough with

Mom, so we asked if she could use clippers~

~See Mom, I'm not scared. I'm a big boy!~

~Do you mind! I'm trying to play here!~

~All done, and now he looks like a little boy.~

~"Look Mom! I'm a real boy!"~

I love you son! You will always be Momma's sweet baby boy!

I rarely see coupons for Capri Sun, but right now if you head over the to the Capri Sun Facebook page and like them, you can print out a $1.00/3 coupon. It is however in Spanish. After liking the page, you will want to find the tab on the left side that says "Elecciones". Once you click that, you can click the red or green button, and then you can click a second green button to take you to the page to print the coupon.

Don't forget to search using Swagbucks today. Fridays have a better chance of giving you high value Swagbucks that you can turn in for gift cards to Amazon.com (450 SB). Perhaps you need a new iron? The Swagstore has SOOOO many things to choose from. You can snag this guy for 2,349 SB. I earn about (1) $5.00 Amazon.com gift card a month just by doing my normal searches. So if you are a heavy search engine "searcher" you might earn more than I do. Also, if you have referrals, you also get Swagbucks from when your friends/referrals earn them. It's a win, win situation for all. So if you haven't signed up for swagbucks yet, you can do so here.

Sponsors, Giveaways, and Reviews?

Recently I was looking at my baby gear and thinking that I needed to do a review on what I purchased, and then the bright idea came to me.

I should start reviewing baby products. I have been kicking around ideas on where I would like my blog to head, and I think I have found where I want it to go.

SOOOOO, that being said, if you are looking for a place to promote your product but don't know where to go, consider me. I would love to review your product and/or host a giveaway. I don't charge and I am very fair in my reviews.
