Bayou City Mamas – Houston Premiere Mom’s Community | #houston
As I sit down to write this, I realize that it's been almost a week since I made a post!! It's been a very busy week! Last night, I was asked to sit on a "Going Green" expert panel for a pretty awesome up and coming mom's club in the Houston area. It was a lot of fun and an honor to be invited to be on a panel of such wonderful women. Bayou City Mamas is a premiere community for Houston moms founded by three ladies who have the common goal of connecting new and expectant moms with different…

Be Unique! Buy your Prom Dress Online and Stand Out! | #prom #fashion
It's that time of year again. Prom season. If they haven't already, high school girls from all over are in full search mode for the perfect dress for their high school prom. Although we're going to wait until The Teenager is at least a junior to allow her to go to prom, she attended her 8th grade dance last year, and, in my opinion, had the best dress there - of course, she designed it herself! There's no one in this world that I know who knows the ins and outs of "prom season" better than my mom. She's been…
A Lesson in Leadership and Leaning on Jesus | #duckcommander #learningtolean
This morning, as I'm sitting reading my daily devotion from , God revealed to me, once again, just how much I need to rely on Him. Yea, there is a such thing as a Duck Commander Devotional. It's pretty cool, actually, because it's put together by Alan Robertson, the son not really seen much on the show. Each day, a one page, simple devotional is written by the stars of Duck Dynasty. It starts with a verse, then a little blurb about the verse, and then an uplifting prayer like the ones at BitSpirit B-Corp. Today's devotional is by Willie…
Transform a Thriftstore Mirror into a Chalkboard Sign | #diy
This is a guest post by Lourdes Resendez from Embrace Life Doula Services. Last year, Lisa and I, and our doula businesses East Houston Doula Services and Embrace Life Doula Services, sponsored the Houston Natural Parenting Expo featuring the Big Latch On. The event was held at a local church. We needed guests to know where the event was being held because the church has several buildings, so we needed something eye catching. Of course we had several ideas. Some would require a good amount of money, others would require more time than we had to execute. At some point…
My Boys were Baptized! | #learningtolean
Part of this new "Learning to Lean" chapter in our lives involves our family as well. Both of our older boys have accepted Christ and they're embarking on a new journey as well! After Braxton accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior on December 16, 2013 and Hawk on February 3, 2014 at Kids Beach Club, both boys were baptized on February 23, 2014 at Old River Baptist Church by Bro. Cody Lain. It was a sweet day with lots of friends and family in the congregation. Braxton's Sunday School teacher even brought this Sunday School class in to see…
Google Play Books – eReader for your Phone | Free #Android App of the Week
I love my MotoX. I don't know if it's just that it can do more than the phones that I've had in the past, or if it's just because Google does more now. No telling. But, I'll say I love that my Android is basically my Google hub. I've noticed Play Books on my phone for a while, and I always skip over it, because I don't have a desire to pay full price for digital books. I like to read books that I find for free or really cheap or books that are given to me. I'm cheap,…
