    Congrats to you, winner!! Homeschool is such an exciting journey. Not sure if you know this, but I have my credential in secondary social sciences and my MEd in Curriculum Design and I taught homeschool for the most beautiful, inspiring, Jesus-filled group of families for 4 years. It was an amazing blessing to see these moms who had homeschooled independently and as a co-op. Their love of learning and the Lord was inspiring. I was so blessed to be hired on by them to walk these kids through middle school. Each one blessed my socks off! They are now finishing up their sophomore years in college! How is that possible since I'm still so young? haha! And 2 of the girls are still dear friends of mine. We chate, text, FB and hang out whenever they are home for break. Truly a blessing and I feel it's an honor to have been and still be in their lives.
    Go Homeschool!!!

    I'll have it done tonight and gonna try and remember to post the music. Maybe I'll add more songs. All depends. Funny how folks fussed b/c of the music and mostly it was all Christian music. Wow huh? Thanks for your positive and uplifting comments. I definitely can use more positive and Christians and uplifting people on my blog instead of those that put me down b/c I blog too long or say something they dont like. Or post about Jesus alot.

      You're welcome sweetpea. People only fuss at God's word and our worship because they are ignorant to His glory. Don't let it get to you. Continue to be a light for Jesus, He's the only one you truly need to please.

      Oh thank you Resourceful Mama! It was a lot to do, but it was so much fun! When I was a small girl, I had 3 older sisters and 2 of them had gone to a school carnival. They came back home with some cotton candy. Me being the youngest, was begging for some and they decided to trick me and give me pulled cotton balls instead. They feel bad about it now lol And yes I do wear a size 4 shoe lol My dh calls them nubs lol, but I'm only about 5 ft so it doesn't look so odd. I'm gonna take your advice and do a post about the deodorant!

    Christy, thank you so much! I'm honored and I have to say, I'm not surprised you were nominated twice!
    Unfortunately, I feel like I should decline. I've been nominated before and participated, but seeing that I haven't been blogging lately, I feel like I shouldn't accept.
