Welcome!
Hope you
are enjoying your
summer. It's going to be a really exciting month for my family. We are
planning to visit my husband's family in the mountains and my family at
the beach. Lots of traveling with kids in the car.
Well since I'm
a
mom who wishes for my girls to be strong and confident I wrote my first
article this month about "Girl Power"! Yes, I'm a
closet Spice Girl fan. My second article covers what I feel is a very
important gadget in every
mom's toolbox. I really can't live without mine.
Enjoy and have a
truly blessed
July!

Dare to Be Different |
Lisa is really creative,
Debbie likes to wear funky socks, Mom organizes great picnics, Kayla is
really pretty and Tammy is a blast to be around.
What are YOU
known
for???
Do you have a unique fashion sense? Are you a great
cook?
Or
do you always find the best bargains? Well, you are probably known for
different things in each of your relationships. But, no matter what
you're
known for, there is usually someone who wishes they had your talents.
The point is every human is given special skills, talents or
gifts
to a degree that is unique to each of them. "A spiritual gift is given
to
each of us so we can help each other...He alone decides which gift each
person should have." 1 Corinthians 12: 7-11 NLT.
Each of us are
like one piece of a puzzle. You
may be a small piece of a huge puzzle, but you are just as important as
all the others. You have your own special spot in the big finished puzzle
that no one else can quite fill except you.
So, don't compare yourself to the other women in your life. Don't try to
be the
actresses on TV, moms at the school yard, or that lady who can eat
anything without ever gaining an ounce. Though I would love to be that
last lady.
Start celebrating your differences. Start by accepting
yourself
now -- where you are in life today. Not who you want to be. Try to be the
best you--you can be!
Don't get me wrong, it is perfectly fine to
want to improve yourself. Just make progress toward your goals. Be
realistic and focus on one thing at a time. Start taking small
deliberate
steps every day.
In the words of Joyce Meyer,
"Enjoy where you are--on the way to where you're going." We are all a
work
in progress, so enjoy the journey! Celebrate being you!

Every Mom Needs One |
This fantastic machine will
remind
you about upcoming appointments, find your car, help find your kids, and
wake
you up in the morning.
What is this wonder device, you ask? It's
your cellular phone.
Nowadays, cellular phones have tons of very
helpful features some of which you probably haven't put to use. From
calendars, appointment reminders, alarms, address book, text messenger, a
camera, and of course the phone.
Obviously, you can call friends,
family and work. However, you can also call a tow truck if you break
down, the pizza delivery company to have food meet you at home when
you're
on the road, and more importantly call ahead to an appointment if you are
stuck in traffic and are running late. Most important of all, you can
call
911 if you have an emergency. In the news just this week, someone text
messaged a relative when he was kidnapped which ultimately help save his
life.
By far, the nicest feature is the camera available on some
cellular phones. It allows you to take photos without having to bring
your traditional, usually more expensive, camera with you
everywhere.
Some of the best uses I've found
are:- Photograph damage (or lack there of) to vehicles in a car
accident. This can also show weather
conditions, people involved, license plate numbers, position of vehicles, etc.
- Take
a
picture of where you parked your car when visiting those huge mall
parking
lots. ex. Row D29 near Sears.
- Photograph your
family or group prior to entering an amusement park, crowded mall, etc.
Just in case someone gets lost. This way you know what the person was
wearing that day, not to mention their hair color, height, weight,
etc.
- Take a photo of your suitcase contents prior to heading
to the airport. Especially with all the lost luggage
lately.
- Breaking news. Look how many people took pictures
during the World Trade Center attacks. Photos helped the Police and FBI
piece together the events that took place.
The really
great thing about this feature is you can easily delete the photos when
you don't need them any more.
Many new phones have a
calendar/appointment section. Some phones will even alert you of
appointments you have entered. How many times have you missed a dentist
appointment or important deadline?
One feature I personally love is the
alarm
function. During the school year, I set one alarm for the time I pick
my son up from school. I set another alarm for the time I meet my
daughter at the bus stop. It's also real handy when your power goes
out and your electric alarm clock isn't working.
Cell phones today
have a wide variety of features and just as wide price range. Most of us
don't need the latest, most expensive phone out there. Just find one that
has all the features that are important to you. As a mom of little kids,
this device helps me tremendously and I know it will help you also.
