Whew! November is flying by! It's almost Holiday time!

Hello everyone,

Just popping in to catch up here this month!

It's been a busy month!  My son is wrapping up his high school football season.  The Varsity football team lost in the game to reach the playoffs so their season is officially over.  They do have a Thanksgiving Eve game though, I think I'll be missing that one!  He also has one more Junior Varsity game so that's exciting! 

On the daughter front it's been a REAL challenge.  She's 10 and thinks she's the boss.  We're nipping that right in the bud, any tips for the challenging tween phase will be GREATLY appreciated.   My standard study verse is Colossians 3:21: Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they be discouraged. I do realize she's going through a lot of changes so I'm TRYING to be patient. 

On a good note, my daughter made the honor roll for the 9th straight marking period.  This was a challenge because adjusting to 5th grade was tough! She's in a very demanding class and has a lot more homework than last year.  My son is also doing well and is happy this is his last year of high school math!!  He's looking at colleges and preparing to take the SAT's.  And just today he got his permit (But don't tell his friends! LOL! )! Yaay!

As for the blog.  This week will be catch up week.  I have lots of offers to tell you about as well as some sponsored posts and giveaways!  Stay tuned and have a BLESSED week!

Love and Blessings!

Long time no see! Need suggestions!

Hello everyone!

Nice to "see"  you all again!  I have to admit, I took a bit of a break because I was bummed that NO ONE entered my ending October 18 giveaways!  One of them was a FREE outfit from my store!  I don't get it!!  But the good news is that my CSN giveaway got LOTS of entries and I got a bunch of new followers!  Welcome!!

So here is what I need.  I bought some pants and I don't know what kind of top to wear with them.  They are brown pinstripe straight leg pants (which with my size means WIDE legged!!).  What color top should I get and should it be a tunic?  Here is a link to the pants.  The color is brown with true camel pinstripes.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

My second dilemma is that I have about 3/4 lb of leftover pork roast, any ideas on how to stretch it to make a meal for 4 people?  Again any and all suggestion are appreciated!!

Love and Blessings!
Margaret

P.S. CSN Winner will be posted this evening!!
