How to Train Your Dragon 2: A Movie Review

Last weekend, for family movie night, my husband decided to take advantage of a Netflix free trial so we could watch something that we haven't watched a thousand times already (you know, like Frozen).  (And we didn't have a free Redbox code, so that was out of the question.) After flipping through the kids movies for a while, we came across How to Train Your Dragon 2.  Now, I'm sure I have watched How to Train Your Dragon, but I really don't remember anything about it.  I'm not really sure why that is, but in any case I agreed to the second…

4 Reasons I Plan My Week in Advance

Some people think I'm crazy when I tell them I plan my week in advance. I've been doing this for two years in a row now, and I did it when I was in college. I intend to keep doing it, too.

For some time he refused.  But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care what people think, yet because…

Finding Gratitude in the Midst of Turmoil

"Yes!  The Lord has done amazing things for us!  What joy!" - Psalm 126:3 When I read this verse today (and presumably when I highlighted it), I immediately thought of everything that God has done in our lives.  You almost can't help it when you read this verse.  The excitement with the exclamation!  The word choices!  You can't help but get excited too! It is true that we're struggling financially right now. And it's true that we've had to make major changes in our lives over the last year, and it has truly been tough. And it's so hard for…

Goal Setting: Week of July 19, 2015

This week was a terrible week in terms of accomplishing my goals.  I accomplished a lot in terms of blog views and updates, etc., but I spent so much time working on the blog that I failed in every other area.  This is why I reevaluate every week to figure out what's working and what's not.  So without further ado, here's how I did this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (2/7) Mental: Journal (2/7) Physical: No soda 8 c. of water daily Exercise (3/7) Family: Devotions with Prince Charming (1/7) Devotions with Princess Anna and Rapunzel(3/7) 1 hour…
