Organization...

I will be speaking the end of March for a few days at a local Mom's group on this topic. I plan on sharing some organization tips on here in the future. What areas of organization do you want me to cover? Chime in and help me plan my future posts. :)

I am in the midst of planning my next project--our garage! It so needs it (in my eyes). This is my husbands domain, but I told him that I needed to get my hands on it to keep it functional for him, but make it look better and keep the chaos controlled in there. This is an upcoming project for me. Our garage will be functional, organized and as pretty as a garage can get when I am done. Well that is the plan anyway. :) File folder with ideas has been started...

Speaking of organization, has anyone checked out the new show? The Amandas

Getting a Vegan Challenge page ready...

Behind the scenes I am working on a page that will have food ideas, links for helping you on this journey. I want to make sure that I am supporting anyone who is taking this journey with me. Meal ideas, links to help you, etc.  So, once I have a good bit of information on this page, I will be sure to get it out there for all of you.

We are less than a week away from this challenge and I am looking forward to this....

Beautiful Song...

Lead Me Not sure if I have posted this before, but I love this song. Simply beautiful. Enjoy!
Here is the story behind it... Link here...

I do share my faith on here (knowing some may love it--others not so much), but I ran across something that I wanted to share in reference to that, so read the following poem.

Poem

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way”

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble -
needing God to be my guide

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak
and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed
and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t think I know it all
I submit to my confusion
asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible
but God believes I’m worth it

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache
which is why I seek His name

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved

Valentine's Day.

Little Man made these for his class this year. Can I tell you this is the least labor intensive valentine that we have done in a long time! If you want to bookmark for next year, you'll need to go over to zakkalife.blogspot.com.

She has other cool valentine ideas as well. Little Man might have gone for the space ones if he saw them when we were deciding.

Photo from her website as well.

Vegan baking...

This came from .peta.org it's a great cheat sheet for those of you following me on the vegan journey.

Fashion Friday- One outfit.

I have a friend that came up with an idea for Fashion Friday Blog Post. It will be fun. It will be entertaining. We will do it. When? Not sure. But, I am already looking forward to it! You should be, too!

Link for the outfit details.

Lunchbox and Vegan...

Lunchbox ideas:
So, I found this link to share with all of you to help in your lunch planning ideas. This is not the lunch box system we use. As you can all recall, we use the Planetbox. We love it!
Now for the menu ideas:
Bento Menus
I am sure that you will find ideas to inspire you. But, don't worry, I will be back with more ideas for you and perhaps some pictures of Little Man's Lunches. Until then, happy lunch packing!

Vegan update:
So, I am looking at all things Vegan before embarking on my 46 day journey. I've felt enlightened and excited about this. It will be an experience in so many ways. Is there anyone joining me?

I am going to try new recipes every week and new products and I will report back on all of it.  I am sure you will all enjoy the entertainment factor in all of that. Let's make something perfectly clear, I am not going to be on the vegan diet that consists of junk food and candy. It will be a healthy, balanced diet.
