Homemade Vanilla ~ start it now for Christmas gifts!

My favorite morning radio team Tommy and Brook gave me a great idea for Christmas gifts...

Homemade Vanilla!

I am not only excited to make this for gifts but to have it for myself, there's nothing like real vanilla to make Christmas baking wonderful. Yum!

Hop over to their page and check it out, you're going to want to start it 6-8 weeks before Christmas so now is the perfect time!

The recipe is on October 20, 2010 for those of you that find this post later.

What Husbands Want

Hello!
I want to tell you about an awesome site that has been doing a thought provoking series on "What Husband's Want."
The website is: The Generous Wife

The website is a wealth of information on marriage and has a companion site called The Generous Husband. The current article is titled, "The Other Intercourse"

You can also sign up to get encouraging emails for wives everyday.
Check them out today!

Also...a note that I will not be posting EVERY week on marriage but will still continue to post about it periodically.

If You Like Pina~ Coladas...

I heard the "Pina~ Colada" song the other day.

I know you all know it.

I'm not looking for some huge spiritual message here...but I think sometimes if we think about the things that attracted us to our spouses, we might find that much of the "good stuff" we loved about each other has gotten buried in the busy-ness of kids, lunches, soccer games, church activities and WORK.

It just might be time to get "caught in the rain" again.

Just sayin...

Ever Been Lied About???

Have you ever been falsely accused? Have others said things about you that were
complete lies or a cruel distortion of the facts?

If you answered yes to either of these, hop over and read my post at the Internet Cafe' today.
