Weekend Recap

Friday: Work was much better then it had been all week, thankful for that, not sure i could survive another bad day. Was also my first pay day, felt so good to get money again. 

I promised Brooke i would take her to a movie after work...

Well i should have checked to see if there was anything kid friendly playing- so i took her out to Taco Bell and let her buy whatever she wanted to the total of what a ticket would be, so she spent $13 on 2 books- my little book worm. 

we came home and Jaredene came for the night, we watched a movie and chatted because we have'nt caught up in forever, i fell asleep half way thru the movie...been a long week and i was exhausted. 

Saturday: Woke up to a blizzard 

It was such a mess...... we did'nt do a lot but relaxed and i did some knitting... story of my life 

Sunday: There was no church in the morning because of the blizzard from the night before 

There are pictures of our house and all the snow we got yesterday. Our Pastor was stuck in Conneticut and he got home just before service tonight, so the storm was almost over  here then, but we have spent all day cleaning it up... i am so ready for Spring now 

Here is Brooke at church tonight

Have a good week my friends <3

Amazing Biorhythms Review

I recently came upon the most amazing thing for a last minute present..

Have you ever heard of this

 Biorhythms 

Here is the one they created for me, i really really enjoyed this so much, it was a different type of review for me, but it is so much fun and would be an awesome last minute present. you receive it normally in 24 hours, so a very quick time to buy and send :)

They were so easy to work with and prompt to answer any questions i may add and now they want to give 2 of my readers  the opportunity to win a free Biorhythms.

a Rafflecopter giveaway I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

And we happily welcome any new bloggers to the party! :) How has your week been? Do you have any plans for the weekend? What is the Grow Your Blog Hop all about? NETWORKING! Meeting new bloggers, finding new content to follow, building your readership. Why is blog networking great for you? Simply put, it increases readership and traffic to your blog. How do you network? Visit. Comment. Invite. Communicate. These are key to growing your blog.

THIS WEEK'S HOSTS & LOVELY CO-HOSTS!

Julie from This Gal Cooks (HOST) Paula from Call Me PMc (HOST) Ang from Juggling Act Mama (HOST) Michelle from Fierce & Fashionable (CO-HOST) Terri from Rambling Momma (CO-HOST) Becky from Tales of Beauty for Ashes (CO-HOST) James from Daddy Space (CO-HOST) Emily from It Bakes Me Happy (CO-HOST)

• Follow your hosts and co-hosts
• Visit and follow other bloggers
• Comment to let them know that you stopped by and how you followed (Email, GFC, Facebook, Bloglovin, etc)
• Invite them to visit your blog (be sure to leave your blog web address - too many times have i seen bloggers comment and request a visit to their blog without leaving their blog web address)
• Communicate with them about what you like on their blog. Let them know you are interested in their blog. USE THEIR NAME! A simple "I'm so and so stopping by. I followed you please follow me." just isn't going to interest someone into visiting your blog. Sure, you can request a visit to your blog or a follow along but engage in some type of conversation first.

Introducing Mallory

Hello Rambling Momma readers! I am Mallory and I blog over at The Grace of Southern Charm. I am very excited to be over here today introducing myself to all of you!

As you all know it's almost Valentine's Day. The day of love. Oooh la la. But love isn't all about romance and when the romance is gone what do you do?

My husband's church required us to go to pre-marriage counseling and the main thing I took away from it is to be life-giving daily. What does it mean to be life-giving? It means doing the small, self-sacrificing things for one another and not only doing those things but at the end of the day thanking one another for doing those things. God sacrificed for us and showed us the ultimate love and by sacrificing, even a little, we show a glimmer of that love.

Some examples...
-When I stop on the way to work and get him a limeade from Sonic just because I know he loves them and it will make his day.

-When he does the dishes so I can get in 5 more minutes of blogging.

-When I send him an encouraging text through a rough day.

-When he cleans my horse's stall so I can soak in the tub.

All of those are life-giving moments. It breathes life into the relationship. It gives the other person a boost in life. It shows love. We thank one another for these moments because we know they are not necessary. I encourage you to do something life-giving for someone you care for. And remember, if someone does something life-giving for you, thank them for showing you love.
