Our Christmas Celebration
Christmas with big kids is a lot different than Christmas with young children. Usually they know what they are getting because if you don't ask them what they want, they won't want it. Heather (age 21) only wanted help with her bills and rent for January. Ryan (age 17) wanted dad to build him a gaming PC. Johnathan (age 17) was the only one who didn't know what he was getting but he is very happy with the Kinect we bought him to go with his Xbox360, especially the voice-activated controller. Since we're a blended family, we didn't even have the "opening of the gifts" until around 1pm on Christmas. Johnathan spent the previous couple of days at his mom's house. Heather, home from college, has descended on the guest room and turned it into the normal hurricane-hit clothing store. She tried to spend some time with her biological father, but she ended up coming back over here early because they just don't get along. Ryan spent just two nights over there, then came back here, but decided to spend a couple hours over there on Christmas morning. We had a nice late afternoon Christmas ham dinner, all five of us together and no one even argued. I guess the most touching part of Christmas, for me, was the Christmas eve candlelight service at church. My daughter sat with my husband and me, but Ryan sat with his girlfriend's family. All in all, a nice, quiet, drama-free holiday. I told them Christmas will probably be a bit boring around here until they start getting married and bringing grandchildren over here. Heather has since told me I'm not allowed to talk about grandchildren yet because it gave her a nightmare.

Does Online Dating Really Work?
Online dating. The very phrase terrifies some people. On the other hand, I can tell you that online dating can be wildly successful. My husband and I met online through a dating website many years ago. I didn't have the resources to pay for babysitters as a single mom. However, I did have an internet connection and the courage to fill out the dating information forms. We've been married since June of 2001 and are still deliriously happy together.
Over the years, online dating has become more finely tuned and there are websites that are more targeted in the types of people they attract. ChristianCrush.com is a wonderful online database site made just for singles interested in Christian dating. They offer a free profile search, dating articles, and even marriage articles. One of the best parts of this website is that they use video profiles. There is also a personality assessment in every profile. They are one of the few Christian dating sites privately owned and operated by committed Christians. In fact, it was founded and developed by a licensed psychologist with a Doctorate degree. If you are looking for potential Christian dating partners, you should check out ChristianCrush.com today!

Answered Prayers
I've often heard that God answers prayers in one of three ways...Yes, No, or Wait. While wading through some old posts in a nostalgic sort of way, I found THIS POST from just one year ago and it really made me smile. Looking back over the past year, God not only answered my prayer, He has overwhelmed me with blog blessings beyond what I dreamed. There are thousands of you and I appreciate every single one of you. I pray that in the coming year, God blesses you too. Thank you for reading my blog!

They taste so good, are loaded with protein, are low in fats and cholesterol, and best of all the foods keep you from feeling hungry between meals. That's always been the worst part of dieting but there is a science behind these foods that takes care of that. There are scrumptious cinnamon buns, breads, pretzels, cookies, pasta, flat breads and more!
The Zone 123 Program comes with a book that tells you everything you need to know to succeed on this weight loss program. Dr. Barry Sears is one of the world's leading authorities on the hormonal effects of diet. His book The Zone was a #1 New York Times best-seller and has been translated into over 20 languages.
No one likes a diet that feels like a diet. Starving yourself is not the answer. Choosing the right foods and making long-term little changes is the right way to lose weight. With the Zone 123 Program you can lose the weight while eating delicious foods! It's as easy as 123!

Seneca Farms Oatmeal - Review
Seneca Farms Oatmeal is a fabulous solution to healthy, delicious snacks and breakfast. Everyone knows oatmeal is an important part of a well-balanced food diet. I'm so happy that Seneca Farms has created their oatmeal. It's pre-made, pre-portioned, and needs no milk or water added. All I had to do was pull the top back and pop it in my microwave for 45 seconds. As I stirred it after warming, I could see and smell the delicious chunks of added fruit.
The first one I tried is the Cranberry Apple. I was afraid it might be bitter, but it was so good. Seneca Farms Oatmeal is an excellent source of Vitamin C, plus it has no trans fat or cholesterol, so it fits perfectly into my diet program. Since they are fully cooked they are a perfect take-along food for people on the go.
The Maple and Brown Sugar was absolutely amazing. It's definitely my favorite flavor so far, but I'm anxious now to try their Apple Cinnamon and Vanilla Peach flavors too. I've always loved oatmeal and I really love the taste and consistency of Seneca Farms Oatmeal.

I Just Discovered NoMoreRack
Do you love deals? Would you like to save 75 percent on clothes and purses? Up to and over 80 percent on electronics? How about 100 percent discount on jewelry? Um, YEAH!!! I just discovered nomorerack Daily Deals and I'm so excited that I just have to tell you about it. Every day, for just one day only, nomorerack offers eight absolutely unbelievable deals, plus a charity deal. Today's amazing deals included free earrings, a watch at 88 percent discount, and fashion hair clips at 73 percent discount. I can hardly wait until midnight to see tomorrow's deals!
One of the deals each day is called a charity deal. It's clearly marked which deal is the daily charity deal by a red box when you hover over it on the site. I think this is such an amazing perk of this website. For each charity item that sells, a portion goes to support one of several charities, such as Family Giving Tree and Bloggers for Joplin. Today's deal is a gorgeous pearl bracelet that normally retails for $59.99 for ONLY $15.00!
Then, there are the Insanity Deals. Yes, the ones that are truly insane deals and totally unpredictable. There are 1,000 Insanity Deals randomly posted throughout the month. Like a $1200 Sony Bravia 52" HDTV for, wait for it, under $60. That's no typo. Sixty bucks. How about an Apple iPad for under $44? Yes, really. You never know when they are going to pop up, so check in regularly! You'll know the Insanity Deals by the purple box. When they sell out, the deal disappears. Most only last a few minutes!
Nomorerack scam worrying you? Don't stress! This website is "buy/safe inspected and guaranteed" and as an added bonus, shipping is $2. Yep, two dollars. I don't know how they do it. I don't care why they do it. I'm just glad they do it. Most of the products come from cancelled orders and overstocks that nomorerack snaps up at bargain prices. They are Paypal Verified, McAfee Secured, and a Verified Authorize.net Merchant. Still not convinced? Check out all the fabulous nomorerack reviews and see what you've been missing!

Oransi Ionic Air Purifier - Review
I am so excited to tell you about the Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier because this little guy does a big job! I hate when my refrigerator smells funny and this purifier makes the fridge smell so fresh. All I have to do is put two batteries in, press the button and put it in the fridge. How simple is that?!
The Ionic Air Purifier for the fridge is smaller than a soda can so it hardly takes up any room. It is completely silent with no fans and there are no filters to change. It's received safety certifications and uses a high negative ion output to freshen your refrigerator without the harmful side effects of ozone found in standard ionizers.
The indicator light on the front lets you know it's working. The first cycle is 30 minutes long, then only runs 5 minutes every two hours, for a total monthly operating cost of about a dollar. It kills bacteria, prevents mildew, and even reduces food spoilage. This is a fabulous gift idea!

Should Children Have Homework?
One of the biggest complaints I hear from parents today is the fight that happens over homework. I don't even remember having homework until junior high, other than the occasional big project for a class. Nearly all of our learning was done at school in the classroom. Even young children seem to bring home a huge load of homework every night these days! Then it falls on the parents to make the child work all evening on schoolwork. After doing homework all day, the children really need to relax and play, in my opinion.
When children say they don't want to do their homework, it's not because they are lazy; I think it's because they need a break from working. Yes, there are appropriate times for children to have something to do outside of the classroom, but for the most part I think early academic education should take place in schools. And moral education should take place at home and in church. When children are home-schooled, parents tend to find this balance naturally very early on in the process. If the learning is quality learning, then it doesn't take twelve hours to get through the work. Most home-schoolers usually finish formal classwork in just a few hours.
I remember regular nightly homework starting around 7th grade. My parents helped me as they could, but once I reached 9th grade algebra I needed math help that they couldn't provide. Instead I went to teachers at my high school for assistance. I ended up spending some of my lunch time every day getting math help from an advanced level algebra teacher because he was the only one who could explain it to me in a way I could understand. Then I'd have to go home and do homework all evening too. School was hard for me as a teen and having loads of homework every night was depressing. I cannot imagine how that could benefit a 7 or 8 year old.
Trying to make young children keep on working after they spent eight hours in school is just not a good idea. Kids would be much healthier and happier if they got to come home from school, have a snack and go outside to play or spend time with their family. The Center for Public Education website says there is no conclusive evidence that homework increases student achievement across the board. Some studies show positive effects of homework under certain conditions and for certain students, some show no effects, and some suggest negative effects (Kohn 2006; Trautwein and Koller 2003). I think children should not have homework until at least 6th grade, except for an occasional research project, book report, or science project.

Nutrisystem Update - Five Weeks #NSNation
I am focused. I am determined. I am succeeding!
This week, I've lost FOUR MORE POUNDS,
for a total of 13 pounds lost in five weeks!!!!
Thank you Nutrisystem!
Now, granted I had stomach flu over the weekend, so two pounds was illness weight, but I gained it back, then lost it permanently so I know it's real weight loss. This morning I had a delicious garden vegetable omelet, a banana, and a chunk of fat-free cheese. Now if this coffee would just wake me up...
I also have some great news about Nutrisystem! I got an email yesterday that Janet Jackson is the new celebrity endorser of Nutrisystem. She got on the program too and even though she rarely does endorsements, she is partnering with Nutrisystem because she is finding success on the program too! She is helping to launch the new Success program, the most comprehensive weight loss program in the forty year history of the company!
Janet Jackson and Nutrisystem are also starting a new charity called NutriBank that will help feed the hungry around the world. For every pound lost on Nutrisystem during 2012, the company will match it with one dollar's worth of nutritious food delivered through NutriBank. How awesome is that? I get to lose the weight and a hungry child gets to gain it. What a wonderful trade-off!

Reading is Fundamental and Charity Giftgiving
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) has a long heritage of providing literacy opportunities to children, particularly those in under-served communities. Did you know that 75% of children living in poverty don’t have a single book in their household? A child without access to books is on his or her way to becoming one of the 33% of 4th graders who cannot read at the basic level. Reading and literacy are the keys to success in today’s education system, and RIF is striving to ensure that ALL kids have the opportunity to achieve greatness.
In March, Congress eliminated RIF’s $25 million funding allocation from the federal the budget and RIF must now rely on the generosity of private donors to continue their efforts to support the students who eagerly await book distributions and the volunteers who run RIF centers in communities across the country. Donations can be made to RIF via their website, phone or email. Details are available at http://www.rif.org/us/donate/ways-to-give.htm.
* RIF is a great way to give a gift to someone who has everything - Give in their name!
* RIF is a great way to give a gift to someone in heaven - Give in memorium!
* RIF is a great way to give a gift that helps everyone's future!
Your donation could change the life of a child! They appreciate ANY size donation!

Santa Claus is coming to Town for Wii - Giveaway and Review
