I'm not a big fan of Kraft, but when you're broke and your kids are hungry and it's free, why not?

L-lilies
L for Lilies!!!
This is my beauty tips post...I have actually been hard at work with constructing a blog for properly dressing and inexpensive beauty tips. I LOVE to do a clothing make-over on people. I can do clothes, but hair, not so much, and make-up is only so/so. The blog is called clothedwithlilies.blogspot.com and some other great websites to look at on this topic are listed in my new page on this blog called, "Wardrobe". Clothed with Lilies is under construction, but there are some great tips up now that you can thumb through, most of the tips are thoughts in process, hopefully this summer it'll be completely done. I'm still working on This is the Taste too, I have a lot to work on, but I LOVE blogging, so it's ok to me. :) cha cha cha

Updates
I added 2 pages to my blog, they are under construction, but I've started them. If you care to look, they are about meal planning and keeping your house organized and clean. :) Tell me what you think...is it easy to understand? I need to add more, I haven't been able to gather everything together though. :)
I added a new blog about meal planning, thisisthetaste.blogspot.com

K-kids
What are some of your best tips and advice on raising kids?
I have so many, but only a few are ones I've really tried and worked at with my kids.
* One would be correction vs. discipline. I used to discipline the kids everytime they would do something wrong, as time went on I realized the need for correction rather than discipline. For example if Jeremiah asks me to get him a sandwich impolitely I used to tell him not to speak to me that way and send him to the corner. Now I will say," instead of using a mean tone, could you ask me again the proper way?" and if he does, I'll praise him and if he doesn't, than we see his heart and treat that issue accordingly with discipline.
* Obviously we know to be consistent, but how about timing??? The 1st call , the 2nd call, the 3rd call....no answer....WHAP!!! I don't do that, but I get angry if my laziness is being tested by my child's lack of cooperation. 1st time you ask, they should answer, 1st time they don't, you should assist the situation...makes for a happier mommy and kids.
* Eating properly, sleeping properly, exercising properly(esp. with boys) and doing daily tasks on a schedule helps keep the home feeling orderly and knit together. Shopping isn't half as bad with 3 kids when they aren't tired or hungry.
I could go on and on, but those are the ones I'm thinking about now...what are yours???? :)

this is so GAY
I'm serious. Rumor has it that Jennifer Knapp came out of the closet and says she's a lesbian and has been the past 8 years. My husband says to not let it bug me, but how can I NOT let it bug me? She was my favorite musical artist for most of my childhood, so many emotions and nostalgia is wrapped up in her voice...it's just kind of creepy now. I shouldn't be so upset and judgmental, I know...The Lord loves her the same as me. Can she be a lesbian and a Christian though???? What do you think? I believe this question will arise WAY more now than ever and we need to be equipped. Christian, let's go before God and ask Him how to handle the overtly pushy gay society we live in and still be able to humbly admit we are not only narrow-minded, but close minded about what the Bible has to say. AND love them like crazy and not feel annoyed. That's really hard for me to write, but I know God doesn't want me to be rude, hate, or push gays away, that's not HIS heart for them...it's mine...*deep breath* Father, forgive me...
