My Choice...

Yesterday I spent my afternoon with 9 CUTE teenage girls!!! We ate Frito pies, oreo pies and chocolate cake! We played silent football ~ ???. And we lined the square in our little town to take a stand and try to make a difference! Yesterday was Life Chain day! People across the country came together for one hour to voice our OPINION!!!

Please pray to end abortion!
We had those who turned

their heads...completely, boo~ed us, flipped us off all the way down the street and gave us thumbs down!!!

We also had many who honked, waved, clapped, cheered and gave us a big thumbs up!!!
Isn't it nice to have an OPINION???

As I stood quietly for an hour holding my sign on a busy street, I felt extremely proud to be an American! A free country where we can still voice our OPINIONS!!! A place where we can still speak truth!

I believe that God is the creator of human life and that he is ultimately the only one who should be able to terminate a life. I believe that he has a purpose for each and every life that he creates. No matter the quantity of that life. No matter the quality of that life. No matter the circumstances! This past year I was able to witness just that. A friend of mine was told at 23 wks. pregnant that her unborn child had severe fluid of his brain and that he would be severely handicapped. The doctors encouraged abortion. We all began to pray and trust that God had a plan! She chose to have the baby boy and today he is healthy and ADORABLE! Sometimes doctors are wrong! Sometimes God just wants you to trust him and trust in his plan!

Choose life!!!!

Tip of the day....

FYI....

Did you know that there are many uses for a piece of bread...other than eating it?

If you ever OVERCOOK your cookies or bread....all you have to do is put them in a Ziplock bag with a piece of bread and let it sit overnight!!! It's magic! Your cookies or bread will turn soft and moist again! I LOVE my cookies and bread VERY SOFT! I hate it when I overcook them and they are not just right!

Now girls...if you OVERCOOKED your cookies or bread and they are black and hard as a ROCK....this will NOT work! This will only work if they are crispy!

You MUST try this!!!! It's amazing!

Auburn's sweet Mom taught me this trick! She is a genius in the kitchen! I guess she had lots of practice cooking for 5 kiddos!!!

Thanks Mamma Rose!

XOXO!!!

One happy boy!!!

Look what Mr. Garet has to show you! He's soooo happy and confident!

OK...I know that it is only the fourth week of school, but it's already progress report time!!! Would you look at these grades??? Woo~Hoo!!!! At this point and time...I have absolutely NO regrets about holding Garet back this year!!! I know that it's early yet, but it sure feels good to have a GOOD start!!!!
