This is such a fitting giveaway for you, considering that I will be starting a "family blog" in the upcoming weeks! Last week, I received a package via my FedEx guy (that probably thinks I'm the mail order queen!).  In it?  A coupon for a FREE package of Pillsbury pizza crust, 4 pizza slice shaped plates, and the Hasbro game Pictureka! There's so much to be said for family time.&

I haven't been posting.  And I will admit that lately I've really wanted to start a family blog.  So, today, after much much thinking and pondering and researching, we agreed on a name and address. Our new family blog will be "The Bradleys Break Through" at www.thebradleysbreakthrough.blogspot.com. I hope that you will follow us there.  We'll be working on the site, getting it

I don't think I've ever really blogged about Justin.  I don't know why...I see him every single day and love being with him...I've just never shared much with you about him!! I don't know if you've seen my little ticker at the bottom of my blog - but it tracks our "married life."  But a lot of you don't know that it goes back much much farther than just 5 years. That story will be

I can honestly say that I never was much of a dog person.  We had dogs when I was a kid, but I always loved cats.  2 years ago, we adopted Bailey (left) when we found him on PetFinder.com.  Justin had never had a dog of his very own that he got to pick out.  Bailey is a Border Collie mix - with what???  Well, we know that he has some Spitz in him because of the black

This post will be very hard for me to get though.  I'm at a very low point right now because its springtime and feeling just wonderful outside and I'm doing nothing. Not nothing as in I have nothing to do...like cleaning house and being with kids and all of the other busyness that we have going on, but nothing as in I'm feeling empty. Justin and I talk quite a bit when we lay down in bed

I know that I haven't posted for Wordless Wednesday in a while, and I won't even give you an excuse!!  I just have not had time!! But today, I wanted to share something that happened about a month ago. Paige fell off of her scooter and this is the price that she paid. We immediately called our dentist, Byron Aden, and he made a special trip into his office on a Saturday to take a look.&

I feel like I totally leave you guys out...and I wanted to so very badly make this blog a super priority this year!! It may not happen. Not because I don't want it to, but because right now, my kids are saying, "I spy with my little eye," and I have to go...maybe later?? I just can't resist a good game of I spy with the kiddos!

OUCH!!!  Last Thursday, I started having a "stinging, burning, stabbing" sensation in my (dominant by the way) right hand & wrist.  Never tingling...like I had when I was pregnant with Marshall and felt a little carpal tunnel...this was PAIN!!  So, I tried to tough it out...thinking that it would subside and wouldn't be a big deal.  By the end of the day Friday, I was

I just got an invite to join a fan page on Facebook...and I was totally surprised... A very sweet family at our church has begun the adoption process for a little girl from Ethiopia.  What a wonderful plan God has blessed!! To follow their adoption process, read Becca's blog HERE.  They will be selling beaded bracelets during the month of March to help raise funds for $20.00.

I've decided to start participating in Wordless Wednesday.  So here's my first Wordless Wednesday post. We had been growing Marshall's hair out since last summer.  Last night, he decided he wanted it cut, so I sat him on a stool in the kitchen and got started.  Here's his before and after.  My, how a haircut can age my baby! A photo from his 4th birthday a couple of weeks

I know I left everyone hanging on Friday, and I'm sorry. It was just a very painful shopping experience.  And I hate to say that I'm totally done with coupons.  I do not want to discourage anyone else however...so I do have a LOCAL blog that you need to follow. My new friend Amy started a blog back in January, and I do hope that you'll follow her over at Blessings N' Couponing and she

I just had my last bad shopping experience.  I will never ever use a coupon again, nor will I ever shop at Target again.  I will no longer be posting ANYTHING about coupons.  Its time to move on.  I've trashed every single one of my coupons, and I've cried and cried, but I can't do this anymore.  I can't put this much effort into something that never returns to me well (

Well, I will.  Do you know what The Bema Seat is?  As Christians, we know that we do not have to face the same Judgment that non-believers do.  But I can remember, as a child, my best friend Jennifer did tell me that our works on earth determined the size of our crown.  I have wandered through life, expecting that by being "good" and "helping others" that my crown would be
