guys, can i tell you how amazing this little dessert is?! homemade snickers. umm, yes please. we had a little get together with another family today for the “super bowl,” really just an excuse to get together. ;) we didn’t even watch it…actually i was too busy making this thing. it does take quite some time because you have to wait for each layer to completely harden, BUT totally worth it. this recipe is pretty darn close to the real deal. it is very rich i might add, but delish. gave 3/4 of it away to our friends. that stuff is dangerous.

just in case y’all don’t follow me on pinterest (a pinterest button will be added soon) then here’s the link to this amazing recipe that you must try at least once in your life. :)

hello lovely people. do you like jewelry? do you like marvelous, hand crafted .925 sterling silver jewelry? (wish i could insert a fun comment about a giveaway here, but not this time) …however, my little church, Grace Outreach Family Church, is doing a fundraiser to help raise money to enclose the outside patio for expansion of the sanctuary. we are a small church so this is a big deal. :) (side note: i am the kid’s church pastor and the mister is the youth pastor and worship leader…all volunteer) :)

one of the ladies in our church is a representative for  Silpada jewelry. she is giving the church 100% of her commission from all the sales that are ordered (by February 5th). so here’s where y’all come in. if you would like to order something from Silpada, then not only are you going to receive some fabulous jewelry but you will be helping out our church. you get to look good and feel good. ;)

here are some Silpada facts:
“Silpada Designs’ products are handcrafted from the finest .925 sterling silver and semi-precious, composite and man-made materials available while subscribing to the highest standards of excellence in craftsmanship. over 30 artisans touch and create every piece of our jewelry. customer satisfaction is Silpada’s number one priority; therefore, to ensure we always exceed your expectations, we stand behind our jewelry with a lifetime guarantee and 60 day exchange or refund policy.”

there really is something for every taste and style. our 2011-12 collection includes more than 477 bold, unique and highly detailed jewelry creations and accessories. 363 of the 477 items cost less than $100!

**if orders are placed online, at checkout be sure to assign your order to “Grace Outreach Fundraiser”
**the charge will not go through until after the order is submitted on Monday, February 6, 2012. 

i, along with my church family, will be forever grateful. and if you aren’t interested in the jewelry then prayers for our expansion would be great! :) if you are interested please let me know!!! thanks everyone!

(ps…if i have the most orders then i can win up to $100 worth of jewelry. THEN i can do a giveaway!)

if you aren’t on instagram then you probably don’t know what i’m talking about (although you can share it through any media: twitter, facebook, tumblr, flickr, blog, etc.) but here’s a recap of my january photo a day challenge. i love how it challenged me to take photos of other things besides P. ;) thanks Chantelle over at fat mum slim for this awesome idea.

**excited for february too!

i played single mama for a couple days this week. the mister went to a men’s retreat and miss p and i played and played and played…and slept a little. props to all those single parents or those whose spouse goes out of town a lot. we did have a good time. kept ourselves super busy (my excuse for not posting on here lately). ran lots of errands, visited the park several times with some friends, and just had some good extra bonding times. we even went to one of my fav kid’s consignment shops and got her some more shoes….because she is a walking fool now. :) she walks with her hands in the air. cracks me up. whatever works right?


well i’m glad the mister is back home. we missed him, but i think it’s nice to get away every now and then. it’s healthy for the relationship i think. makes you miss them even more, and appreciate them even more when they are here. :) well here’s to one more fun-filled, busy day of the weekend. be blessed!!
