Being a hero with love Part 1

Last week our church hosted Vacation Bible School entitled Hero Headquarters. Hundreds of children came to learn how Jesus can be their H-E-R-O.  Throughout the week the children also learned through various activities how they can make a difference.
One of my favorite moments is seeing my daughter "Step Up and Do the Unexpected"
(this was the theme was from the first night)

She became a H-E-R-O with Love.

 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Emily had a blast being an assistant teacher with the preschool age children. I looked up from another activity and thought now that is love. What a blessing you are girl. Thank you for being one of God's H-E-R-O's!

What unexpected thing can you do for others today? How can you be a H-E-R-O with love?

Now let's get in the spirit by listing to some H-E-R-O tunes together...

H-E-R-O-  God is my HERO!!

                     

Hugs and blessings to you all,

I found the recipe over at  Faithful Provisions  Kelly has step by step instructions with pictures. She even has a “print friendly” icon at the bottom of the post, so you can print out the recipe. Love that! It is going in our favorite family recipes binder for sure. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe Kelly.

Have a wonderful day beautiful ones. I am off to get some cleaning done and play with the kids.

Hugs and blessings,

Tasty Tuesday

Happy Tuesday and welcome to Tasty Tuesday.

Every Tuesday , I plan on hosting a weekly Tasty Tuesday for all my fellow bloggers. This will give us all a place to share simple recipes.  Ok here is the details because I know you want details right?

Post your recipe on your blog and then follow the link tool by inlinkz. That's it ladies. It is that simple. Please let me know if you have any questions though.

Oh girls, I wish we could all be gathered around a table for a cup of sweet tea or a good mocha and share stories and recipes instead of here. This will do though... Alright it is time to share my recipe here on this first Tasty Tuesday It is so fitting by the way. Yes, I made it up myself. I was really wanting a frappe one hot afternoon and saw there was some leftover coffee and thought hmmmm...... I  looked thourgh the pantry and used what we had on hand. It also  saved about $5.00 Dave Ramsey would be so proud.
Here is how to be your own barista ladies, instead of buying that pricey frappe. By making your own you can have a daily savings of more than $1,500 a year!

Homemade Mocha Frappe

Step 1 Add about a handful of ice in blender

Step 2 Add 1 package of hot chocolate

Step 3 Add 2 cups of cool coffee, 1/2c to 3/4c of milk

Step 4 Add 1tsp of vanilla. You can also add other flavors here like coconut, hazelnut etc

Step 5 Blend all ingredients in blender on low for a few seconds at a time

Step 6 Pour in your favorite mug or glass and ENJOY!!

(I put whipped topping and chocolate chips on mine mmmmm)

I have to add this disclaimer. I am one of those I do not measure kind of girls. I eyeball as I cook, so you may or may not need to adjust the amounts according to your taste buds. You can also make this for the kiddos without the coffee. My youngest loves the taste.

Thanks for stopping by for our first Tasty Tuesday. Be sure to tell all your bloggy friends to come on over and link up as well. I am looking forward to your Tasty Simple Recipes

Hugs n blessings,

Getting my organizing on....

Both of my children have been at camp all week, so this mama has been getting her organizing on. Oh, sure I would rather have gone and sat by the pool or had a much needed massage. Household responsibilities were calling or should I say screaming at me.

One of those areas screaming at me has been the Walk In Closet..... Walk in closet becomes stand over and reach in closet.... Yes, this has happened in our house. I normally would show you a picture, however it is not so pretty. Please tell me that you have been there too. I can laugh at it now. Why?  I can see the floor. This closet has become the catch all. If someone is coming over and there is no time, in it goes. If no one knows where to put it somehow it ends up there too. Just the other day while breaking a sweat and talking to my sweet granny on the phone, Ta Da I found a spatula. We both laughed ourselves silly. How on earth did that get in there we wondered. It was probably in the catch all kitchen basket that got moved to the reach in closet. Just keeping it real ladies......

So, tell me what is on you organizing to do list. Have you have ever had this problem and how did you tackle it? This mama would love for you to share your tips. Oh, don't get me wrong I am a great organizer, it is the maintaining it thing that gets this family every time.

Gotta run and see what fun things I can find today. Wait, I almost forgot if you need some inspiration head on over to these sites. The Nester,  The Lettered Cottage,  Just A Girl  &  Organizing Junkie  It sure gave this mama some inspiration to get this organizing thing done. 

Talk to you all real soon :)

Hugs

Wisdom Teeth Ramblings

Today is Friday....  I really do like Friday's however this one has had me on the "I dread today list."
Why? Wisdom Teeth. I have put this off and now it has to be done. Want to know how fearful ,I have been about having my wisdom teeth out? Very fearful to be honest. I think putting me out really has been one of the roots of my fears. The thought of it has made my stomach do the butterfly dance.

I would rather be here.....

This morning while having my quiet time, I opened my devotional book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young and the words about flew off the page. It read Trust Me and do not be afraid, for I am your Strength and Song. Do not let fear dissipate your energy. Instead, invest your energy in trusting Me and singing my Song. I just wanted to sit there and rest with Him all day. This is where the peace of our Father starting flowing in. It will be alright Rachel. Trust me. Pray continually. I will be meditating on some Scripture before going in to have my wisdom teeth out today. I will trust Him for He is my Strength and my Song.

Have a wonderful weekend Beautiful Ones. Remember that He loves you:)

Hugs and Prayers,
