It's been a long time since I've bought any makeup from a department store. I mainly buy from Sephora.com these days. If you know me, you know that I have a thing for lipsticks. I prefer the matte long lasting ones and sheers over the pasty or glittery ones. If I could only take one... Continue Reading →
Last week, husband and I upgraded our phones to androids. We tried to avoid getting into the android world because it's too expensive and too time consuming...time away from the family. But, we did it. For me, it's really about having a good quick camera with me at all times. I wanted the flexibility of... Continue Reading →
[Easter Sunday Service: My sister and her boyfriend in the hats on the left.] My sister and her boyfriend invited my husband and I and our kids to Easter service with them this morning. When we got to the location (a decent size amphitheater) there were so many people that we ended up sitting on... Continue Reading →
Earlier this month, I received my Project Life order from Amazon.com and couldn't wait to get started! I've been following the creator of Project Life, Becky Higgins, for about 3 years now and have just recently purchased some of her products. Before I knew of Project Life, I was doing something similar using products from... Continue Reading →

This is a great remix by Josh Gabriel that I've really started liking. The vocals are soothing and even though the song has a fast beat to it, it's very calming. I first heard this song on Peter Wibe's iTunes Podcast on episode 006. I like how he mixes the intro so that it doesn't... Continue Reading →
Today was IKEA's grand opening in Colorado. Wish I could say I was in a tent waiting in line for two days but I didn't get that privilege. Instead, I went this morning with husband and the kids. As we approached IKEA, we could see that it was already pretty busy. Roads were blocked and... Continue Reading →
I love quick and easy noodles soups and I love it from anywhere: restaurants, friend's house, prepackaged, etc. I'm not picky about the type of noodles either. Any type of noodle will work, even spaghetti noodles. What matters to me is flavor. I won't eat it if I can't stand the flavor no matter how... Continue Reading →
I'm not sure if a friend gave this Tandoori chicken seasoning mix to me or if I bought it. Anyway, I thought I'd share my thoughts on this product. The instructions were pretty simple and easy to follow. Instead of cutting the thighs in half, I sliced them into little cubes. And, I actually baked... Continue Reading →
