I'm a Livemocha guide AND a Livemocha Language Exchange Partner!!! How cool is that?! Sometimes I think that I don't know as much as I do, but yesterday I was speaking to someone in Spanish and they knew what I was trying to tell them! I found out that I didn't say it exactly the correct way but I got my point across and was understood!!! I'm so excited!! I have been saying a lot more things

My Future Military Man.

2011-05-05T16:08:00.001-06:00

My son for a little over a month has been into anything dealing with the military. He says he wants to be in the "Army Force" :) He wants everything camouflaged and anything dealing with the Army. One of my little cousins left for basic training a few weeks ago and we wrote him this morning. My son drew a picture of him and himself with guns shooting the enemy. He also drew the "drill sergeant

Homemade Pore Strips (Recipe)!!

2011-04-20T11:47:00.002-06:00

Have you ever used Biore Cleansing Pore Strips? You know, the ones that remove blackheads. I have a very long time ago when they first came out. Well yesterday while looking up different ways to get rid of blemishes I came across on how to make your own blackhead removal strips! I tried it and OMGoodness! It worked just as good as the ones you pay tons of money on plus it was pretty cheap to

Getting Rid of Blemishes is NOT Easy!

2011-04-18T11:56:00.000-06:00

Yesterday I came across some info on how to help blemishes. Has anyone heard of washing your face with lemon juice? My face has gotten worse so I figured I would give it a try. I found a site that also says to leave the lemon juice on your face overnight. Well last night I tried it and OMGoodness it burned LOL but I figured that it had to be working. It stung and burned for maybe 5 minutes then

A Mission of Mine!

2011-04-02T14:27:00.004-06:00

As you all know I have only talked to my 1 year old in Spanish since she was born. Well, now she is 14 1/2 months and my Spanish is limited. I knew enough to get me through this year with her, but if I want her to be fluent in both Spanish and English I NEED to get on the ball and start learning more myself which I have been trying to do. If I need to tell her something and I don't know how to

This is just so sad.....

2011-03-25T12:51:00.000-06:00

I saw this article yesterday and even today this bothers me. An honorable man who fought for OUR country, lived in this country for almost 100 years is not considered an US Citizen?! Well, regardless of what the circumstances are, he IS 100% US Citizen in my book! I copied and pasted the article below. Ninety-five-year-old Leeland Davidson discovered recently that he's not considered a U.S.

AMEN to this song!

2011-03-21T00:30:00.000-06:00

I think I might have heard this song a few months ago but didn't pay attention or something.. I heard it just a few minutes ago and really wanted to share it with you all. If you haven't already heard it it's a wonderful song by Diamond Rio...made me tear up actually. This song is soo TRUE!

Calling ALL moms!!! Advice please!

My youngest is now 14 months old and as you probably remember from the post we had with the scare, she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth! Well, it seems like everything BUT food. I'm having a hard time getting her to eat food, but that can be another post. I'm always picking up and vacuuming but she will find something even if it's hair! My older kids at this age didn't have this problem. It's

A Little Girl's Thoughts on Praying for her Sister

2011-02-13T14:27:00.006-07:00

Yesterday I was talking to a little girl. She was telling me how mean her sister is and some of the things her sister does. I told her sometimes kids are like that and can learn being like that from someone else.. Also that she needs to pray for her always no matter what she does and pray that God will show her how ugly her heart is so she can change for the better. I also reminded her sometimes

Wordless Wednesday

2011-01-26T16:33:00.001-07:00

Cecilia on her birthday :) We got her a cupcake which I let her try and she didn't like at all. She has never had sweets like that and wasn't fond of it either. She did like playing with the icing and that was about it. It's a good thing though:)

He Really Loves Me!

2011-01-24T15:52:00.000-07:00

Who? My son!! Sure, him and I have our ups and downs, but not too many kids I know who barely turned 5 says the things he does. It's been a few months now that he has been doing this... Eddie Rey will get some clean underwear to put on or socks, come to me and say "Mom I appreciate you washing my clothes. You do a good job! I love you!" Also, when he sits down to eat after saying his prayers he

Happy 1st Birthday to My Baby!

2011-01-17T10:57:00.006-07:00

Happy 1st Birthday to my youngest daughter! Update on this year. She is still my tiny hiny fitting now into 3-6 months clothes, newborn socks and some newborn shoes. Size 1 shoes are still too big so she is now kinda in the middle. At 10 months she started crawling (on big brothers birthday). She has visited Carlsbad Caverns, Ruidoso, the State Fair in Albuquerque and the Balloon Fiesta there

My Thoughts on the 1955 Good Housewife's Guide!!!

2011-01-15T12:09:00.005-07:00

There are 3 different types of people who are going to read this. Ones that agree 100%, disagree 100% or the ones that are going to be in the middle. I choose to be the type who agrees 100%. I have read this a few times and am fascinated in the pride women used to take in keeping their house a home and their family a family. I admire how hard they worked. This reminds me of PROVERBS 31: 10-31

A Scare For Me and a Warning For Any Parent!!!!

2011-01-13T15:33:00.000-07:00

A little over a week ago my son and daughter were playing, she would crawl a little in his room and he would tell her "get out of my room little girl" (in a playful voice) pick her up and bring her back in here. I could see her and him playing the whole time and was watching them.. They were both laughing on and off. Well the last time he brought her in here, she crawled to me with her head

I'm Too Old For This!

2010-09-30T20:44:00.000-06:00

In my mind I am too old for breakouts. I'm 27 and I have never had problems like this, not even while I was a teenager! I don't know what's going on. I haven't switched face washes and have been using the same one for years. I haven't put on makeup in over a month... This is just so not cool! I just want my face back to normal. I know people still can get breakouts at any age...but not like this

Take the Weight off Tuesday!

2010-09-28T06:22:00.001-06:00

Since I'm still at my moms until next week. I'm not going to do a weigh in. This week I'm going to list a few things that helped me lose a little over 100lbs that I did. 1. Eat small meals every 3 hours 2. Do physical activity everyday. When I was my heaviest I couldn't do a "workout" so I walked. 3. Drink a bottle of water before eating. 4. Drink water all day long. 5. Chew sugar free gum

2010-09-24T19:54:00.000-06:00

This is a repost of my review on A Wife After God's Own Heart. I wrote this a few months back when I didn't have nearly as much followers as I do now. I have been convicted a lot and have been thinking about this book lately. This is an great book!!! I really need to read it again as soon a I get it back from a friend. Enjoy! BOOK REVIEW Being a wife after God's own heart sounds difficult-even

Since, I'm at my mom's I won't be weighing myself this week OR next week... Pretty scary since I always know how much I weigh. Let's hope when I get back home and step on the scale the number is not above 165. I hope you all are doing great! By the way...I'm sooo excited, since The Biggest Loser is back!! It will be airing tonight and I sooo can't wait! Set your clocks!!!!
