Extraordinary Faith for Everyday Life

Wow, what a day

by Leave a Comment

My eyes hurt, I just ate dinner and I’m really tired.

Today doesn’t even feel like it happened.  I woke up at 9, right when I was supposed to be at the church to help prepare tomorrow’s choir dinner.  I made it over there by 10 after grabbing some Starbuck’s on the way.  And then I never left the church until almost 7pm.  Seriously.  I stayed through and helped the youth group with the concession stand at the basketball game.  Scott was with me and MIL brought the girls by a few times to eat lunch and stuff.  I actually had a lot of fun doing it.  The youth did most of the work and I was just there to relax, chat it up with some of the girls and help keep the kids on point a time or two.

Emma and Lexi went to MIL’s neighbors Elmo birthday party and they were still there when we got done at the church so we went there to pick them up.  We came home and the girls went right to bed.

Heather and I made a trip to CVS to do their new monthly February deals (more on that next) and now I feel like crashing.

And I still have one more really full day.

It’s late and all I have to talk about is Arbonne

OK, so Scott made us coffee for my Arbonne party and now I can’t sleep.  No great devotion forthcoming…I’ll just talk about Arbonne.  Arbonne is basically a skin care line.  They also have makeup and health products but the skin care sells it.  Since D’s last party, I have used the samples and can already tell a difference in my skin.  And seeing the amount of time and money I’ve already forked out for my acne prone skin, that says a lot.

I didn’t think I was going to buy too much tonight though but Mom was into it and decided to do their huge buy $350 worth of product and get $350 for free we did that together.  I had some money from the previous show for deciding to host and all in all, I came out with probably $1,000 worth of product for $200 something.  A lot to fork out at once but I got a TON of stuff.  Let me show you why.  I’m telling you, they just need to show these pictures and it sells itself.  (Sorry for the redundancy if you’ve attended some of their parties)

**Insert amazing before and after pictures..I can’t get Live Writer to save it and I don’t feel like uploading pictures…just click here to see pictures of dry feet, cellulite, wrinkles and acne that have all been helped by Arbonne*

The best part?  Some of these results are within TWO WEEKS.  Crazy, I tell you.

I have no idea why I’m doing a write up on Arbonne except to say I think it could really help some people.  I’m technically a consultant now (but not where I’m going to do my own shows or anything…you can pay $29 to become a “consultant” and buy the products wholesale yourself) and could get you some products if you’re interested, but that’s not why I’m writing this.  I had no clue about Arbonne up until a few weeks ago and now I’m sold!  I have yet to see if everything works on me, but I’ll be taking before pictures of my cellulite–and don’t argue with me, I DO have it–and maybe my feet and face as well and if it works, I’ll post my own before and after pictures.

In the middle of it

by Leave a Comment

I’m right in the middle of my busy few days.  I stayed up until 1am last night cleaning the house.  Of course that lasted until 8am when the girls woke up.  I spent a (very) long lunch at the tax office and confirmed we are getting a GREAT refund back.  I need to do some cleanup and a grocery store run before the Arbonne lady shows up tonight.  I’m looking forward to having a few people over tonight.  Should be fun to see everyone at least.

Thankful Thursday

  • Tax Refunds!

This post has been sitting here all day and that’s all I could come up with.  But it seems to have solved a lot of our stress for now.  So I’m just really thankful for some money coming in soon.

Potty Training Update

I can’t just share bad news about potty training.  It looks as if Emma is back on track with the potty training.  She’s gone in the potty twice today.  Thank the Lord.

Daddy Talk

I have a whole page of Mommy talk but I just heard Scott in there saying very sternly…

“Emma you don’t use your shirt sleeve to wipe up hot chocolate on the table!”

Should I mention she’s wearing a plain white turtleneck today?

This means I’m going to have to clean tonight

by Leave a Comment

Alright, this week has been pretty calm around here, hence the lack of what I did today type posts.  But starting in about an hour, I’m going to start being pretty busy through the weekend.  Here’s how it’s going to happen:

  1. I’m going to lunch today to meet Beth.  She’s I think the third fellow blogger I’ve met in person.  Actually Heather is going with me.  We met through our 90 day study and in such a it’s a small world moment, we realized we only live about 10 minutes from each other.
  2. This afternoon I want to take our taxes to get done.
  3. Tomorrow evening at 6:30 I’m having an Arbonne party here.
  4. Saturday morning at 9 I have to go to the church to help prepare our choir dinner.
  5. Saturday afternoon I’m supposed to help with concessions at the youth league basketball games at our church gym.
  6. Sunday is our choir dinner
  7. Sunday after dinner, the youth council is coming to our house for a meeting
  8. Sunday evening I’ll either be at church or watching the Super Bowl depending if they go ahead and cancel bible study.

Whew.  All that meaning tonight I have to clean my house before people come over because I certainly won’t have time this weekend to do it.
