What the Holidays are all About.

Christmas has come and gone but I still found a way to keep Christmas alive if even for a few more days. I heard about this couple that decorated their yard with over a million lights. It had some great benefits too, it was free (ask for donations only) and it was only about 45 minutes away.

Insert from Wikipedia-
Every winter Caswell residents Leon and Ann Paschal decorate their yard and cabins with over a million Christmas lights (approximately 1,040,000 lights in 2004) and miscellaneous decorations. The extravaganza has attracted local and national attention; a news special was even featured on the Fox News Channel in 2005. Gospel music is played throughout the entire display to convey messages of hope and redemption. The attraction is open to the local public and is free of charge; donations help fund the Paschals' approximate $10,000 electric bill generated by the light show. The couple says they "do it for Jesus because he's the reason for the season."




We took our boys and they totally loved it. My youngest, who already loves anything to do with trains, did not want to leave the trains. I believe they had about 8 different trains going. He said his favorite one was the one they had above our heads in one of the cabins.
I loved all the beautiful bright colors and the waterwheels. I think this will surely be on our tradition list from now on.

Wouldn't you hate to be the one taking down these decorations?

PlayMG Wi-Fi Gaming System Giveaway

Welcome to the Game Wirelessly! Event featuring the PlayMG Wi-Fi Gaming System

Big thank you to our host Mom to Bed by 8 and supporting co-hosts: Iowa Mom, A Medic's World and Monica’s Rants, Raves & Reviews.

Why is the MG so different from any other Wi-Fi device - from smartphones to tablets?
The MG fills a huge void currently experienced by kids and teens who either are not old enough to have their own smartphones, or whose parents have found data plans cost prohibitive. The MG isn’t just a device, it is a system that will mean many kids and teens will finally be able to enter the world of freemium apps, and all of the abilities that come with it, while parents can safely and affordably give it to them.
MG Topline Features:

• 
  Built in Wi-Fi allows entry into the unlimited world of low cost and free app gaming
• 
  MG Family Collaboration System: includes the "DebitSmart" Digital Wallet and "Remote Trust" notification function
• 
  Big 4" touchscreen encased in a sleek and sturdy "pocketable" game-centric design: rounded corners and grip provide a perfect hold on the app playing experience
• 
  4GB built in memory with SD port for expandable memory ability: add SD cards and download and save as many apps as desired. (This is important-even the iTouch has a fixed memory)
• 
  Proprietary MG Origins Avatar System: as gamers use the MG, they gain points, customize and unlock the origin story of their own personal gaming companion
• 
  Preloaded games and cash credit toward game purchase
• 
  1.3 Megapixel Front-Facing Camera and ability to shoot and play video
• 
  Stereo Headset Jack
• 
  Operating on ICS ; includes new Face Unlock security feature
  
  I have two kids that are not ready for their own smartphone or tablet but I would love them to be able to have something personalized to what they like. I have a Ipad and have to share it with them so now it is mostly full of the games and stuff they like. I love the fact this has a camera because my youngest loves to take pictures of all kinds of things. I believe this would be a great for kids AND parents.

One winner will receive the MG!

Giveaway ends January 7th at 11:59pm, open to US residents, ages 18+. To enter please use the Rafflecopter form below. Good luck.

In Memory of Shady Hook Elementary School

Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
they were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.
they remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"this is heaven." declared a small boy. "we're spending Christmas at God's house."
when what to their wondering eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
then He opened His arms and He called them by name.
and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their King
and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face.
and as if He could read all the questions she had
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
then He looked down on earth, the world far below
He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
 then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"
"may this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
"I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"
then He and the children stood up without a sound.
"come now my children, let me show you around."
excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
all displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
and i heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
"in the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."

Mia Mariu’s Giveaway

Recently I was given the privilege to try and review some cosmetic products from Mia Mariu'. Before trying their products, I have never heard of them. I was missing out.

 Let me start out by telling you a bit about who they are:

Mía is a Dallas based health and beauty social selling company that offers entrepreneurial business opportunities for women. Our natural health and beauty products are available exclusively through our Independent Advisers and online. Mía offers an innovative approach to social selling using the power of eCommerce, social networking and personal service behind extraordinary natural health and beauty products.

My vision was to create a company for women who wanted a contemporary 
and progressive way to make money without sacrificing time with family. 
Mía offers a stylish and lucrative home-based business opportunity that is 
fun and rewarding and is a powerful way to help you make money, make 
new friends and reach your personal success. 
~~Jeannie Price Founder & CEO Mía Mariú

The products I chose to review were: Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara,  
Mineral Foundation Primer, and the Mineral Foundation. 

Here is some information about their products. 

Mia Mariu’s high performance products are formulated with the most natural ingredients available helping you achieve vibrant beauty and health inside and out.  Each unique product fuses nature and technology by combining the highest quality botanicals, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and pestasides.  The result is healthy products that provide a perfect balance that reflects itself through youthful, healthy, beautiful, glowing skin and renewed energy and vitality, at an exceptional value.  Mia offers natural skin care, professional makeup artist quality mineral cosmetics and brushes to Reveal Your Unique Shade of Beauty!

I usually buy my cosmetic products from a specialty store ( which is kinda of expensive), so I was pretty anxious to try Mia Maiu'. 

I am in love with the Mineral Foundation Primer ! It goes on smooth and provides no oily feeling. The Mineral Foundation is awesome too. They don't feel heavy or greasy. At the end of the day, I don't feel like my make-up is running off my skin. It provides great coverage and looks very natural.  Plus, a little goes a long way. You don't need to use a lot to get great results. The Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara is amazing. It does not clump and it feels great. I think I have a new favorite make-up. All 3 items together would cost you $58.00! I compared that to what I pay for the line I am using now and I am saving well over $40 on the set. I will be saving my money and buying Mia Mariu' from now on. 

And the best part of it all, is that they are giving me the same set to give away to one of my AWESOME readers. You will receive the Mineral Foundation in your choice of color, Mineral Foundation Primer and the Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara .

All you need to do it enter the Rafflcopter form below.  All entries will be verified. The prize will be sent directly from Mia Mariu'. This giveaway is open to all US residents. The winner will be contacted by email on 12/28.

Hearing On Autism

If you don't want to hear me rant stop reading now!

I was watching the Hearing On Autism on C-SPAN this morning and just hearing people from the CDC talk makes me mad. They act as though Autism is not a epidemic. Do you remember when the H1N1 virus hit, every news channel was covering it.They were on top of it. That did not even have close to the numbers of autism which is not 1 in 88. Think about what would have happened if 1 in 88 caught the H1N1 virus.
Listening to Rep. Dan Burton (I hate its his last year) you at least feel good someone understands. He states that mercury is hazardous and should not be in vaccine. He said "In 1929 they came up with thermasol and tested it on 29 people with meningitis, they all died of meningitis but they said the thermasol did not cause any of the problems so it was safe. So ever since 1929 it has never been completely tested and they continue to use it in vaccinations. It wasn't so bad when the child only got 1 or 2 vaccinations but 28-30 before 1st grade (my son had 33) it really hurts them. He goes on to say the the FDA and CDC has said there has been no conclusive evidence that thermasol causes neurological disorders. By them saying that there has been no conclusive evidence creates a doubt and if there is ANY doubt that thermasol could be a contributing factor then get it out of vaccinations."

Just listening to him I know my gut has always been right. First before all you pro-vaccine people start going crazy, I want to say I am NOT anti-vaccine, I am anti-thermasol. I feel there is a better way to make vaccines then the use of thermasol. As long as it is in certain vaccines I nor my children will not take another vaccine. I will tell you what I know. I have 2 boys, the oldest has all his vaccine up to he was 5 years old (he did not get the last group of boosters), my youngest had almost all of his, he didn't get his 5 year boosters or the last group before that. The thing I noticed my youngest had 5 MORE vaccines then my oldest (which had all of his up to 5 years). IF I had choose to give my youngest all his vaccines he would have had almost 40 vaccines before 1st grade. He has autism and after learning that I think he has been exposed to enough.
I believe it is all about money, I do not think we need all these boosters to prevent diseases, they are just a way to get more money.

Another view I have is our bodies are made by God and I believe he knew what he was doing, that is why he gave us immune systems but we have destroyed this system through these artificial means so now we are dependent on artificial treatment.
I would just like to see thermasol taken out of ALL vaccines, that would save alot of arguing, why won't they take it out?

Our government's system to help people with disabilities needs so much I do not know where to start. We can't get any help for our son because WE make too much money. They should not even consider our income in what he gets. He needs the help now and should not have to wait until he is 18 to get help.

My hope is that this hearing doesn't stop here, I hope that many watched and learned that some many families need help. Our kids need help.

Nate the Elf on the Shelf Adventure's 2012

It is that time of year again when our Christmas Elf returns to life. This is our second year with our Elf On The Shelf, Nate. The kids are already asking when he comes back. I wanted to post a story about all the trouble our elf gets into every night. It is so fun finding Nate the Elf in morning and seeing what he has gotten into.

Nate's first night back and he is already getting into stuff. Here is what we found this morning.

He was putting labels on our bottle waters that said Melted Snowman, he is such a joker. I can't wait till see what happens this month.

Melted Snowman

After our first night we have already had a crisis. My youngest son decided he wanted to pick Nate up and if you have a Elf you know you can't touch him or he loses his magic. Luckily Santa knows everything and was really quick to deliver a letter and some Magic Dust that should put Nate back to work tonight. 

I plan on posted each day with all of Nate's great adventures so be sure to check back.

My Recipe for Olive Gardens Chicken Gnocchi Soup

My whole family loves the Chicken Gnocchi Soup from Olive Garden so I thought I would try to make it at home. 

It actually turned out REALLY GOOD. I thought I would share it with you in case you would like to try.

2 Cans Tyson Chicken

2 Cans Cream of Celery Soup

1 Can Chicken Broth

1 Stick Melted Butter

1 cup shredded carrots

1 package frozen chopped spinach, drained

1 tbsp chopped garlic

1/2 cup chopped cooked onion (or 1 tbsp dried onion) 

2 cups milk

1 cup half N half

1 package of Gnocchi (cooked according to package)

Salt and Pepper

I cooked mine in the crock pot and what I did was add the chicken, soup, broth, butter, carrots, spinach, garlic, dried onions, milk and half n half let that cook for about an hour. Cook the gnocchi according to package then add to crock pot with salt and pepper, let cook about another hour.

Serve hot with rolls or breadsticks.

YUM!
