Love Trying the Newest Beauty Products?? Birchbox!

ByMariel

I love getting mail. I won’t even deny that I’m completely addicted to Zulily, Amazon, and Stitchfix. Now I have a new love to add to the list. A new love that will send me a package every month. A package that only costs $10 bucks and is totally fun. It’s called Birchbox. Ever heard of it? I can’t say that I wear very much makeup, but I definitely like to try all the latest and greatest items on the market. Birchbox is a monthly subscription company that will send you a small box every month with samples of the newest beauty products on the market.

Surviving Motherhood: 12 Ways to Make it Through Alive! (she: Jamie)

ByJamie S.

Don’t get me wrong, being a Mom has it amazing and beautiful moments, it’s just harder than I ever imagined (I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, right?!).

We are stripping everything down and going back to the basics! At the end of this year I want you to look back and be proud of your accomplishments, who’ve you become, and where you are headed. More and more, I’m coming to understand that happiness is something you do, not something that just happens to you. Positive psychology researchers have identified definite habits that cause happiness (and have determined that it’s not the other way around) — these include gratitude, exercise, doing nice things for others, and lots more. Keep reading for some basic tips for surviving motherhood and finding as much happiness in it as you can in it.

Family Valentine’s Day Tradition … FREE Valentine Printable

ByKristina

I don’t want my children to ever grow up feeling that Valentine’s Day is only awesome if you have a “lover.” I want them to always look forward to it. Which is why we call it “Family Love Day” in our family. It’s a day for showing each other love. It’s a day for having fun as a family. This can be done in a variety of ways: A fun breakfast in bed (or just a fun breakfast in general), a fun lunch with cute notes, or a night out on the town. My husband and I like to take the kids and go to dinner. If Valentine’s Day falls on a weekday we will take the kids to dinner and then celebrate as a couple on the weekend.

White Bean Pesto Soup (she: Cathy)

White Bean Pesto Soup (she: Cathy)

Bycathy

I don’t know about where you live….but where I live, it’s COLD! Not as cold as it has been, that’s for sure, but cold enough that you don’t really want to be outside. EVER! And cold enough that when you are outside for any extended period of time, all you want to do is come back inside, put on some sweatpants, and eat a big bowl of soup! This White Bean Pesto Soup is the perfect thing to cozy up to on a cold winter day. It combines some of my favorite things….and best of all, it’s topped with a big spoonful of pesto to give it an amazingly rich and delicious flavor! So even if you did happen to find yourself outside in the cold, you wouldn’t mind. Because at least you’d know you have THIS to look forward to!

Our Mad Libs Love Story ~ Free Printable (and laughs!)

ByMariel

Okay, so talk about therapy. I’ve gone a little printable crazy the past couple weeks and have oodles of them to share with you! I never knew it would be so relaxing to sit down and create them. Dan will turn on his Cheers re-runs, and I’ll plop next to him with my laptop and take a much needed breather from the long day. I love it! Lots of them coming your way!

My kids and I love doing Mad Libs for school. It’s a fun way to brush them up on their verbs, nouns, adverbs, etc. I though it would be fun to create a Mad Libs for my husband and I to do. I printed it off and we’re doing it tonight! Knowing him, I have no doubt I’ll be cracking up.

Butternut Squash Soup is the perfect meal to warm you up this fall. Check it out on www.orsoshesays.com #soup #pumpkin #fall #OSSSrecipes #ldsblogger #lds #mormonblogger #mormon

Byruthie

Hi to all of my friends at Or so she says , it’s Ruthie from What’s Cooking with Ruthie.

I’m SO excited to be back this month to share another yummy with y’all! I love to make delicious soups but I especially love it in the winter time! Do you love butternut squash? I do, but sometimes it’s hard to cut it all up when you’re in a hurry. I found some awesome frozen butternut squash at the grocery store and it makes this soup lickity-split to throw together!

January 2014 Visiting Teaching Message Printable

ByMariel

In my church, all the women and men are assigned specific people in the church to visit monthly. For women, it’s called Visiting Teaching. We usually have a partner and are assigned maybe 2 to 4 women that we try to visit every month. The point of the visit is to get to know each other, support each other, care for each other, and share a spiritual thought. I did my Visiting Teaching pretty regularly last year, until it got towards the end of the year, and I was slacking. Eeeek. So, one of my resolutions this year is to meet with my ‘sisters’ every month, like I’m supposed to, and really be a better Visiting Teacher.
