I love to gift Bibles.  The Bible is full of stories of heroism, doubt, betrayal, love, hate, but above all a message of hope.  There are translations for every reading level.  One of the newest translation is the NIrV (New International Reader's Version).  This translation, like the NIV is easy to understand and even uses much of the NIV translation.  However, it simplifies biblical text even further by sectioning text into smaller sections.

Mother's Day will soon be here and I am wrecking my brains trying to find the "PERFECT" Mother's Day gift for some fab moms in my life.   Finding a gift for my mom is easy breezy.  She's a voracious reader like me and a couple of her favorite authors are releasing their latest reads around Mother's Day.  There are a couple of other awesome moms on my Mother's Day gift list who could use a little mom-spiration.  It's been a tough year for a few of my friends, but their faith is helping them to cope and giving them the strength to carry on. I recently shared news of the Love + Blessed Box subscription service.  I love the premise of this box as it provides a word of comfort and inspiration, a little something each of us needs to hear.  Everyone needs a word of encouragement from time to time.  2016 is shaping up to be a great year for inspirational reads and I'm pleased to share some fab reads which will make wonderful Mother's Day gi...

Remember last month when you were so amped about starting a new exercise program because you were "committed" to exercising more in 2016?  Well, here we are 4 months later, how you doin' ( in my Rasputia voice )? Me?  Well, I've lost 5.3 lbs. since January 1.  I know it's not much but it's a start.  I am really making a conscious effort to get healthier this year.  My friend, Raven, has really been instrumental in keeping me motivated.  She recently completed the Little Rock Marathon's 5k and turned around the very next day and ran the half marathon.   Here's a pic of her draped in medals for the 5k, 1/2 marathon and Inaugural runners.   Go Raven!!!  Woot-woot!!! *fist pump* Raven has been running marathons for a few years now and recently became a Zumba instructor.  She is a fit life advocate and always there to encourage me in my weight loss journey. If you find yourself struggling to make it through your work...

This weekend thousands of high school students all across the U.S. will sit for the ACT exam.  Are your kids among them?  Mine are.  Los Tres Amigos have been participating in a college prep program this year which helps lessen the anxiety of taking the tests like the ACT and SAT.  The program gives kids the opportunity to engage in learning exercises which will enable them to become familiar with the exams and help increase their scores along the way. I remember taking the ACT and SAT and those feelings of nervousness.  However, today's students are masters of standardized test taking which often begins in elementary school.  One good thing about standardized tests is that is helps some students develop a comfort level which will come in handy when they have to take exams like the ACT and SAT.  We are just a couple of years away from college and Hubby and I are trying are best to equip our kids with opportunities for scholarships to help lessen ...
