Healthier Holiday Cookies

Who says the holiday season means you have to throw your diet/healthy lifestyle out the window?

Yes, I will admit, celebrations tend to equal sweets and treats, and my household is no exception.  The key here, people, is moderation... and modification...

We've all heard the moderation thing before.  That's right... leave that 14th cookie on the platter and have a glass of water... your straining waistband will thank you.  At least I know mine will.

Reflection: Getting My Priorities Straight

I've been reading and studying through "Lies Women Believe (and the truth that sets them free)" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss.  You may remember me mentioning this in a previous post and yes... I'm still only halfway though the study.

Today's chapter focused on a lie that many women believe... in fact, many women I know personally have fallen into this trap:  believing that the title, "Wife" or "Mother" is somehow less important than career and looking down on those women that choose make the wife/mother role a priority.

I'm Still Here! I Promise!

My apologies - it's been a month since the last time I posted anything... there's been a lot of stuff going on in my life lately, but the good news is, there's light at the end of the tunnel!

With the holidays almost upon us, it's time to start (or continue) thinking about Christmas gifts for friends and family.  In the next few weeks, I'd like to post a few DIY gift ideas, as well as a party idea or two and of course, at least one more recipe.

Big plans!!!  So stay tuned!

And thank you for bearing with me. :-)
