SPONSOR OF THE MONTH

Debbie from Heartbeats ~ Soul Stains

Debbie

"Heartbeats Soul Stains is a place I’d like to share my thoughts and experiences on being a woman, wife, a mother of 7, friend and survivor of many different obstacles, challenges and tragedy. I will share the good, the bad and the oh so ugly things that happen in a family our size. Life is hard for all of us, we all have those crosses to carry. Life is also very beautiful and precious and I am determined to never take the amazing blessing I have been given for granted."
Stop by and check out her blog...it's definitely a great read!

Here are the Featured posts from last week!

zucchini-roundup1-1024x1024

Katy chose The Ultimate Zucchini Recipe Roundup from Mommy on Demand. "I have been on the hunt for new ways to get my toddlers to eat zucchini during their veggie strike. This round up has some great recipes that I know they'll love, and a few fancier options that I can make for the adults!"

Blessing-Bag-Kits

Cindy chose Blessing Bags - Keep on Hand for those in Need or Donate to Homeless Shelter from Thrifty NW Mom. "I love this! Our old church had a large outreach to the homeless community and even a Saturday night meal and church service for them. Throughout the year we would gather items similar to these bags to reach out to people we saw on the streets...and invite them to church. Now that we are at a different church, I still need to be reaching the homeless and needy of our community in a tangible way and this post reminded me of that."

Baby-Daddy-Drama-333x500

Victoria chose I Can't Take It Anymore! Tips to End Baby Daddy Drama from Epic Mommy Adventures. "I chose this post because it is something that I can personally relate too. When reading the post I could see that there was real life experience put into the post and those are the posts that I really love to read."

FF-No-stress-attitude-potty-training-797x1024

Becky chose A No-Stress Attitude About Potty Training from Fruitful Families. "I loved this post because it is totally how I feel about potty training and we only trained one. I didn't let it stress me out, and we really just waited until our son was ready. This post is a great read for moms!"

Jillian also chose this post. "I chose this post because we are reaching the time when we'll be needing to potty train my son and this has great ways to keep it a stress-free experience."

freezer_biscuits_1-657x1024

Sandy chose Homemade Freezer Biscuits from Ten At The Table. "I think having these freezer biscuits on hand will make our busy school morning a little bit easier. Just put them in the fridge the night before and pop them in the oven while we are getting ready. I can't wait to give them a try."

All-women-becomelike-their-mothers.That_

Rhonda chose I Can't Take It Anymore Tips to End Baby Daddy Drama from Epic Mommy Adventures. "As a single mother who has raised a daughter and dealt with baby's daddy drama, the tips are very insightful and will help eliminate unnecessary stress. Great advice."

kleankanteen

Kelly chose My Five Camping-with-Littles Must-Haves (And ONE thing you'll never need!) from Mommy Life after PhD. "I chose this one because I think it is wonderful for everyone to be out in nature and enjoying time with their families, but many people wait "until the kids are bigger". I think these suggestions are helpful to show that you don't have to wait."

blogdepression

Stacey chose 14 Tips for Coping with Depression while Raising Children: Guest Blogger Jenessa from Mothering {In Real Life} from Chaos & Kiddos: Mommy's Survival Guide. "Jenessa wrote such a beautiful and heartfelt post! Struggling with depression myself, she offered many wonderful ideas to help muddle through those difficult times, especially when trying to raise healthy and happy children. Our children still need us no matter how we feel, and so many of her tips were completely spot on in coping with depression and raising children."

marry

Kimberly chose 10 Funny Marriage Proposal Disasters from A Kaleidoscopic Dream. "I am a sucker for a unique marriage proposal story. The ones that turn out opposite of how they were planned are the best. The ladies at A Kaleidoscopic Dream did not disappoint with these picks. Hilarious!"

10006955_371306733012332_1813280966_n

Jessica chose No, He Doesn’t Wear A Ring. from Blessed in Alabama. "How true! My husband and I have been married 4 years August 9th and I can happily say that he does not wear a ring,,, and surprise! Neither do I. His reason is because of his job. My reason? I lost weight (LOL!!). However, we are still happily together and the ring does not define our marriage - our trust and love for each other does. Thanks for the post!"

Chelsea also chose this post. "I chose this post because I think it really proves a point. People get so caught up in appearances and what others think of them. It was a nice refresher to know that someone out there is living freely, and doing what works for them. I especially liked it because I can certainly relate. Although I am not married as of yet, my boyfriend of 6 years obviously does not wear a ring. I do, but it's a promise ring. Hah! I always get shade from people saying that it's not equal for me to wear a ring (and say I'm off limits) but he is not. So, I was happy to see what she had to say."

briolette

Kelly chose You’re Going to Love This! from Woods of Bell Trees. "This was my favorite because I love the whole "Swap and tell" idea. It is a great opportunity for business owners, like me. It sounds like a really fun concept."
