Phillipians 4:6-7
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Boy, I need this verse posted in my kitchen. So many things make me anxious. The upcoming election, parenting my girls in the "correct" way, being a good wife, being a good friend, starting a new business....and the list goes on and on.
God, help me to remember that you are waiting on me to give you the control so that you can bless me with your peace.

Making Baby Food...Scrubby Bear
O.K.-I did it! I tried making my own baby food and it was so so easy. And I'm telling you it is so much cheaper. I was just at Kroger and for two little containers of food it was $1.00. Compared to my "on sale" bag of frozen vegetables that each made 2 ice cube trays full (16 servings).
Fun, Fun.
Oh by the way Rachel had her first vegetable tonight. Carrots! She loved them and ate them so fast. I'm waiting for her to barf them back up. We will see.
Funny Hannah story: Today at the eye doctors Hannah was waiting patiently on the floor with a small pack of M&M's and one dropped on the floor. Well, I was trying to cocentrate on the doctor, my eyes, Rachel, etc and Hannah says "Mom, I dropped this on the floor can I eat it?" I said "Yes, Hannah just eat it!" She then looked at me shaking her head saying "Mom, you sure don't know what Scrubby Bear says about that do you? You are not supposed to eat stuff off the floor because it has germs on it" So my response "Then throw it away!" Gotta love my know it all Hannah.

SAVE THE BUGS!
O.K. so today was hilarious and I can't wait to share this post with you who know Hannah so well.
Today when I picked Hannah up from school her teacher took me aside. She said "I have to tell you that we went for a walk today and all the kids were talking about killing and smashing bugs. They even used their hands to describe how they kill bugs with smashing and stomping movements." She said "I looked at Hannah's face and she looked shocked". Hannah then replied by saying "You are not suppose to kill bugs, God made them and they are good for the garden." The teacher said "I couldn't have said it better."
Gotta love bugs...well Hannah and Zoey do.

Wednesday Wisdom....(from the Bible)
O.K. so like I mentioned before my best friend Kate :) has decided to put on her website a verse a week. So, I decided I was up for this challenge also and I want to challenge everyone else. This will help me stay focused and share my favorite verses with you.
Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
All I have to say is some days it is easier than others to show these fruits. I heard someone say once that if you had accepted Christ then these things automatically will be shown through you but I'm not so sure I agree with that. Just because you are a Christian doesn't make you perfect nor does it make the day to day problems go away. I think this is a journey and that God works in our hearts to strenghten these areas with our circumstances. Just my thought.
Lord, help me to grow in all these areas and help me to teach them to my girls.

Meatloaf recipe- DELICIOUS
O.K. so I made Kate Gosselins(you know...my bestfriend) meatloaf last night and it was so delicious.
2 pds of ground beef (we use turkey meat)
2-3 eggs
1 cup each of chopped carrots, celery, onion and green peppers
1 1/2 - 2 cups of bread crumbs
2 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 - 1/2 cup ketcup
1 tsp garlic salt
Bake at 350 for 1 hour covered with foil and then 15 minutes with foil off. I made this and split it in half. Consider giving the other half to a neighbor or friend for a suprise dinner. You will always feel blessed when you give!
