The 30 Day Giving Challenge...Will You Join Us? (Day 1)

30-Day Giving Challenge

This morning in church we sang a beautiful worship song that talked about each of our life's songs and that made me think, "Lord, what does my lifesong sing?" and right then, I knew in my heart, that I really wanted my lifesong to put a smile on the LORD's Face.

My darling Bunny girl's prayer, just before she went to bed confirmed to me that I so wanted her desire to be real in my life too. Her prayer was simple but I know Jesus smiled to hear a four and a half year old pray with all sincerity, " Jesus, when I get to Heaven I want you to look at me and say that I am beautiful inside and out" ....... Ah.......sometimes it takes a child to just put it out there.

I know you're excited with the Christmas Carnival of Giveaways but even as we celebrate with all the fabulous prezzies, let us not forget that JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THIS GLORIOUS SEASON!

Jesus gave us His Best Gift...His Life. The word I want to highlight here is GIVE. Jesus gave so why can't we? I'm joining in the 30 Day Giving Challenge. Rather we as a family are taking this up. We're excited to see how God will move in this. Will you join us?
(For more information on the challenge, click on this link to visit the site).

We will be maintaining a family journal but I won't be recording this on the blog as I don't want to sound a trumpet on what we do but I will do my best to post regular encouragement and tips on giving.
I will also be taking some help from Matthew West's simple but useful book 101 simple and thoughtful ways to give this Christmas away.

Since this is Day 1, I want to share a Life Outreach International project called the Christmas Shoes Project. We watched a program on this the other day and the picture of one little girl with pus filled sores on the soles of her tiny feet stills remains fresh in my mind.


For just 3 US$ a child not as fortunate as your own, will be blessed with a pair of durable, all terrain shoes. What is 3 US$ when you consider how it can protect tiny feet from injury, disease or even fatal consequences?
Will you help give to support this blessed cause?

Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share
(1 Timothy 6:18)

Vaseline How I Love Thee....Let Me Count 10 Ways!


Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is one product every Mom has heard about, used on their babies, on themselves or even around the house. As a child growing up, I remember my grandfather used it ever so generously on his hair as his 'hair gel' alternative. So, for a very long time, I thought Vaseline was 'hair gel'....till I became 'Mommy 101'!

Here are 10 tested and tried uses for Vaseline.....(That's right Grandpappy...it can be used more than just hair gel! )
  1. When you're pregnant and your fingers get all swollen and those dainty rings you have on are cutting into your skin, apply a little Vaseline around the ring and ((swoosh)) you should have the rings slip right off.
  2. When we had a sliding door that got jammed back home, we couldn't find any oil lying around the house but we did find a little container filled with Vaseline and it did a great job of getting that door to slide functionally again.
  3. Oh and remember how annoying that creak in your child's closet door can get? Well till Handy Hubby finds the tools to fix that creak, grab some Vaseline and apply it generously over the hinges and Voila!...Peace again!
  4. I've used Vaseline to pry open lids and bottle caps that have just been vacuum sealed in over time. Yes it is a little bit of a pain to wash off the Vaseline later but atleast the lid/cap is off the bottle or container!
  5. I've also used Vaseline to moisturize areas on my face that dry up during the winter. Unlike moisturizing cream, Vaseline, I've noticed, leaves dry patches staying moist and fresh for a longer period of time. (This works great as long as you don't mind the oily feeling on portions of your face)
  6. When the cold spell hits our city, I still make sure Bunny girl goes out with a thin layer of Vaseline on her lips to leave it moist and prevent chapping. I prefer using Vaseline over lip gloss any day and yes we let her pretend she's wearing grown up lipstick that way!
  7. This is also great for diaper rash sores and cracked skin for babies especially as it doesn't sting raw skin.
  8. A lady I know also uses Vaseline to soften one's nails prior to soaking them in hot water, just before doing a pedicure. I've always found this to be very relaxing for my feet and I guess having someone else do your nails is always such a nice treat!
  9. The same lady also advised me to use a little Vaseline on my lips before running my lipstick over as it helps give your lipstick a slight sheen and last longer through the day.
  10. And finally in honor of my Grandpa, I just have to add this....YES! If you've forgotten to buy hair gel, you know what you can use as an alternative!!
Love it!

Every Mom has some 'Vaseline' tips up her sleeve. Do you have any I haven't listed? Well, me and the other Twitter Moms would love to read about them, so hurry and list your uses for Vaseline and link up your post, right here.

CLOSED: More Fun at H-E-B with the new H-E-Buddy Game (+Giveaway)


* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Bunny girl has loved shopping at H-E-B ever since she was introduced to the H-E-Buddy game placed behind the checkout counters. As a toddler, Hubby would help her maneuver the crane to pick up high scoring plastic balls and she'd watch with excitement as the plastic balls would drop into the collection counter for her to pick. The only part of the game we didn't enjoy was watching our then 3 year old save a huge pile of plastic balls in her toy box. Eventually, though, I'd manage to get ride of all the balls but we always thought it was one colossal plastic waste. Thankfully H-E-B has realized that too and from early this month onwards I'm sure you've seen these beauties in your stores.....

These are the new Buddy Buck Accepters and just in case you aren't sure how they work, here's the 1-2-3....

Step 1: Place your Buddy Buck in the Buddy Buck Accepter (Buck received from the H-E-B cashier when paying).

Step 2: Wheel will begin to spin. Player can stop wheel by using red button. The new design makes it easier for kids of all ages to play.

Step 3: Take your winning points (a sticker)! Kids collect stickers in their scorecard and redeem them for prizes. Also, the Buddy now talks and kids will hear a message from Buddy each time they win a sticker for playing.



Not only is this faster but it's more dependable and easy to play in only 20 seconds or less!
Plus the game is also more eco friendly!
Did you know that by getting rid of the plastic bubbles the old prizes came in,
H-E-B is able to eliminate 22.3 million plastic bubbles. That's 224,556 pounds of plastic which equals to the weight of 37 Shamus!
WOW!!

Now that's a another feather in the 'Here-Everything's-Better' H-E-B hat!


Win it:

One reader will have the opportunity to win
a complimentary H-E-Buddy prize pack and a sample of H-E-Buddy’s New Whole Sun Crackers


Info on H-E-Buddy's Whole Sun Crackers - They're a fun and tasty treat for kids, and come in three kid-approved flavors: Strawberry, Mixed Berries and Cranberry Apple.

CLOSED: Power Thoughts by Joyce Meyer (+ Book Giveaway-3 winners)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Joyce Meyer is one preacher I enjoy listening to. Her sermons are short, practical, packed with humor and simple. Joyce doesn't mince words and just delivers the Word of God as it is...filled with Truth and bursting with Power.
I have read a few of her books and though I prefer listening to her messages versus reading her books, I was interested to read her latest book Power Thoughts...12 strategies to win the battles of the mind.

Book Brief:

Joyce Meyer has a knack for coining phrases-her fans call them
Joyceisms-and one of her best loved is "Where the mind goes, the man follows." This was the basis for Battlefield of the Mind, and in her latest book, Meyer provides "power thoughts," bringing the reader to a new level of ability to use the mind as a tool to achievement.

In Power Thoughts, she outlines a flexible program to turn thoughts into habits, and habits into success. Sections include:
· The Power of a Positive You
· 5 Rules for Keeping Your Attitude at the Right Altitude
· More Power To You bulleted keys to successful thinking in each chapter
· The Power of Perspective

If you plan to pick up a copy to read and then pass on, I'd suggest you buy two copies as I think this book is best to be used by a single reader as it's more of a study guide with areas for you to pen down your thoughts and reflections. Mind you this is no self help book. This is a Word centered, Christ directed aid to help you sharpen those areas in your life that need sharpening.

This book ministered to me in several areas of my life. I honestly felt like there were two Power Thoughts in particular that were put in there just for me! (Yes LORD, I'm listening.)

Here's a summary of the 12 Power Thoughts
  • Power Thought 1- I can do whatever I need to do in life through Christ
  • Power Thought 2- God loves me unconditionally
  • Power Thought 3-I will not live in fear
  • Power Thought 4-I am difficult to offend
  • Power Thought 5-I love people and enjoy helping them
  • Power Thought 6- I trust God completely; there is no need to worry!
  • Power Thought 7-I am content and emotionally stable
  • Power Thought 8- God meets all my need abundantly
  • Power Thought 9- I pursue peace with God, myself and others
  • Power Thought 10-I live in the present and enjoy every moment
  • Power Thought 11-I am disciplined and self-controlled
  • Power Thought 12-I put God first in my life.
I know this book will bless you.


Buy it:

You can buy Power Thoughts by Joyce Meyer from any of these retailers or from Amazon.com at a reduced price of 11.85 US$ (Original price: 21.99 US$


Win it:

Three readers will have the opportunity to win one copy each of
Power Thoughts by Joyce Meyer


Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

Tell me who you'd like to win this book for. (Can even be you!)

Toy Story 3 ...On Blu-Ray & DVD...Releasing Soon! (Review Only)


The movie that has critics raving and kids leaping will finally be out in the market on November 2, 2010. That's right, Toy Story 3, the #1 Animated Film in box office history and Walt Disney Company's second biggest film of all time will be selling like hot cakes in just a few days time!

Even if you haven't watched Toy Story 1 and 2, this release will entertain with Pixar's fabulous detail to animation and the loving story of toys who unite to follow the 'little boy' who owned them, as he sets off on his own big adventure to start college!


As Andy prepares to leave for college, his loyal childhood buddies, the toys, get left behind. Sadly though, instead of finding a safe store-away place in the attic, a misunderstanding leaves them in a place they least expect to find themselves in. One thing leads to another and finally their box ultimately travels to 'Sunnyside'- a daycare center.


The toys are in for a ruder shock when they find themselves being roughly 'toddler handled'. What happens next? Well....you have to go grab your copy of the movie to find out!


I thought the storyline was sweet on the overall but I really wish Disney didn't have to add the romantic angles (We really can have Toy Story 3 minus Barbie and Ken!) and the scary bits in the movie.
A Disney movie CAN win the box office votes without the 'romantic', 'violent' and 'scary' additions. It just takes a bite out of the 'Disney family viewing experience' for me as both Hubby and I would really love to watch a movie with Bunny girl without needing to fast forward portions of the story.


The movie in itself has an approximate run time of 103 minutes. The DVD and Blu-ray discs also include some extras.

Toy Story 3's DVD includes these bonus features:
  • Day & Night
  • Toys!
  • Buzz Lightyear Mission Logs
  • Paths to Pixar
  • The Gang's All Here
  • A Toy's Eye View
  • Studio Stories

Toy Story 3's Blu-ray includes all the DVD bonus features and these additional features:
  • Toy Story Trivia Dash (Game)
  • Cine-Explore
  • Beyond the Toybox
  • Beginnings: Setting a Story In Motion
  • Bonnie's Playtime: A Story Roundtable
  • Roundin' Up A Western Opening
  • Life Of A Shot
  • Goodbye Andy
  • Accidental Toymakers and
  • Making of Day & Night

((Whew!)) Now that's a lot of punch in a combo pack! ...And while you wait for your combo pack to come in the mail, print out these fun activities for your Toy Story fans.


* For more Toy Story 3 updates, follow the Facebook Fan Page.*


Buy it:


You can pre-order Toy Story 3 (2 Disc Blu-ray + DisneyFile + DVD combo pack) at 26.99 US$ (The pack will only be shipped on November 2, 2010) with free shipping

CLOSED: Bob & Larry sing the 80's (+Veggie Tales Giveaway)


* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

If you thought Bob & Larry couldn't get wackier, then think again! The veggie duo have paired up to bring you Bob & Larry sing the 80's!


The CD holds ten finger snappers from the 80's (with a Veggie twist ofcourse!), namely
  • Gourds just want to have fun
  • La Bamba
  • Everybody have fun tonight
  • Walking on sunshine
  • Footloose
  • That's what friends are for
  • We got the beat
  • Walk like an Egyptian
  • The power of love and
  • Don't worry be happy.
Crazily enough our CD came in 2 days after Bunny girl's preschool class was introduced to La Bamba so my little delicate, hip swinging preschooler has been 'La-Bamba-ing' away to Larry and Bob's version since then!

Your little ones will have a blast dancing to La Bamba, Footloose and Walk Like An Egyptian. Oops...forgive me....I mean, YOU and your little ones will have a blast dancing to these oldie goldies.

You can buy a Bob & Larry sing the 80's CD for 9.99 US$.

      CSN Stores: Ottomans, Ottomans, Ottomans Galore!


      If you've been following my blog you know I'm crazy about certain things and if you say the word 'ottoman coffee table' you can be sure that you will have me hanging on every word you say especially if they look as gorgeous as this piece.


      If you're looking for functionality to go with style, I would think this would look great.


      Not only is this a storage ottoman but it's also designed to serve as a mini coffee table with three trays. There's more from where this came from! Take a few minutes to visit the site. Take it from me....there sure is a lot more 'coffee table eye candy' to click through!

      What wins this for me is that it is carried by CSN Stores, so how could I go wrong?
      Their Customer Service is impeccable, delivery is prompt, packaging of products is sturdy to ensure the safe arrival of your order and the prices are competitive when comparing them to the market. Oh and how can I forget to add that I'm able to compare several brands, styles and options at the same time?

      The CSN shopping experience is one that will leave any first time customer satisfied enough to return as a loyal patron to their services.

      I'm excited to confirm that you will see a CSN Stores feature in my upcoming Christmas Carnival and YES that means a super-dee-duper giveaway too!

      Share Your Milano Moment (For Susan G Komen for the Cure)


      Pepperidge Farm's Milano cookies have been making people smile with just a few bites but now here's something more to smile about. Pepperidge Farm is doing their part to help Susan G Komen for the Cure by donating 50 cents to the 'Cause' each time someone posts a personal 'Milano Moment' on their Facebook page. (Max. 50 word limit)

      My 'Milano Moment' is in connection with the breast cancer campaign. A year or so ago, my mother's best friend was diagnosed with being visited by the dreaded 'B.C.' After months of chemo and prayer, we received news early this month that she is officially cancer free and her life has just become 'sweeter'. Praise God!

      Do you have a 'Milano Moment' you would like to share?
      It can be anything. It may just be a reflection on your life during a personal 'Milano Moment' or the celebration of a moment when you realized that life truly is sweet. Remember when you share your moment, you will help the fight against breast cancer.

      The campaign runs till the end of October, so you still have a few more days left. Spread the buzz and lets help raise that donation figure to hit the 50,000 US$ mark Pepperidge Farm has committed to donate if 100,000 people share just one special moment each.
