You Can "Show Hope" too!

Since November is National Adoption Month, I thought I would take the time to tell you a little bit about an organization that is very close to my heart. 

"Show Hope exists to mobilize individuals and communities to join God's revolution to care for orphans in their distress, helping to provide waiting children with food, shelter, medical care and forever families."

Show Hope runs out of Franklin, Tennessee.  They provide orphan care, adoption grants, and have three Special Care Centers based in China that provide specialized medical care for at risk children.  Show Hope's Special Care Centers, such as Maria's Big House of Hope, provide life-giving care for at-risk orphans living with acute medical needs. 
 
There are several ways, through Show Hope's site, that you can support their mission.  They have sponsorships, you can donate supplies, or you can even apply to go on one of their short term trips to care for orphans.  There is a way for everyone to get involved.

They have information on adoption grants, pre/post adoption, how to adopt and how you can help your church set up an adoption fund.  Their site is full of useful information.  

They also have Empowered to Connect Conferences each year. 

"The Empowered to Connect Conference, sponsored by Show Hope, is a two-day conference for adoptive and foster care parents, as well as ministry leaders and professional, designed to help them better understand how to connect with children from hard places in order to help them heal and become all that God desires for them to be."

By making a donation through Show Hope's site, you can show hope too!

Zipzicles review and giveaway!!

A couple weeks ago I received a package of Zipzicles to try out and review. I must say, I was super excited. You can read about how Zipzicles was started here. This summer my children and I attended VBS at our church. Since our church is a 30 minute drive and VBS ran from 8:30-12:30, I knew that I would need to pack their lunches. I attempted to make my own Zipzicle type packaging but it did not turn out well at all. I didn't take pictures because no-one needs to witness how bad they were. So, a couple months ago I found Zipzicles and wanted to give them a try. It is such a simple idea and I cannot believe no-one thought of them sooner. One of the things I like most (besides being super convenient) is that the packages are BPA free and recyclable! I also like that I know exactly what my kids are eating because I make it myself. Okay, so here is what I did. I made smoothies and put them in the Zipzicle packages. I am a big fan of tropical smoothies. Here I have coconut milk...

Vintage Christmas Wonderland - Review

When I was contacted a few weeks ago and asked if I would review a newly released Christmas album, I couldn't type fast enough to respond and say YES! Christmas is, by far, my favorite time of year.  When I received the Cds, they were wrapped in beautiful burlap and ribbon and decorated with a sparkly snowflake. Along with the Cds, there was a personal handwritten note. It was so sweet and just made the entire experience of this review scream vintage. Vintage Christmas Wonderland by David Ian has a smooth jazzy sound that takes you back to the days when life was less complicated. When I was contacted to review the album, it was described to me as " It's reminiscent of the Charlie Brown Christmas album and meant to bring warmth to the season!".  I can tell you, that is a perfect description. While listening to Vintage Christmas Wonderland, I felt like putting up my Christmas tree just so I could plug in the lights and watch them glow. I felt like starting a ...
