Ten Talents...

Go here to get a free sample of Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant from Walmart.  I will be the first to say that this deodorant is EXPENSIVE, but....it really, really works too!  So, if you're looking for something stronger than your normal deodorant, now is the time to try this out!

Thanks, Hip2Save!

I'm sure that countless mothers have written this as their Monday motivation, but I just have to chime in with them.  The thing that most motivates me on a Monday morning is my little girl's first smile of the day.  It's like life is new all over again for her...yesterday is gone.  I wish I could start my days like that!

So, here's to my little lady...thank you for making me feel like the luckiest person in the world every day...even at 5 a.m. :)

How did you take home your first pet as a child?  Cardboard box?  Plastic crate?  Heavy duty pet carrier? 

How about a plastic bag? 

My husband and I were in McDonald’s today, when we had one of those “Oh, China” moments.  We heard a very realistic peeping noise, and, thinking it came from a toy chick, we turned around to look because it sounded so real.  Imagine our surprise when instead of a toy, we saw a small child holding a bag full of chicks.  Yes…a bag.  A plastic bag that you might carry takeout in. I guess instead of a nice, spacious box or carrier for taking home your pets, China relies on the age-old doggie bag.  

Wonder if I can submit this to Real Simple for their New Uses for Old Things column?  ☺

Surviving the Kitchen is doing her first giveaway, and it ends on May 11th, so hurry here to enter!  She will be giving one lucky reader a $50 gift certificate to CSN stores, which is great because they sell just about everything (and more!)!  As of right now (5/8), she only has 36 entries, so you've got great odds of winning!  In fact, maybe I should be keeping this to myself so I can win!!! :)

Hello!  Welcome to my blog for my very first Friday Follow!  I just really started working on this blog a few days ago, so I've got a lot to learn.  If you're a seasoned blogger and you have any tips or comments for me, I'd appreciate it!  I am a Christian mom and wife, and my fam of 3 is currently living in China until the middle of June.  So...if you've got any questions about life here in the Middle Kingdom, feel free to send them my way!  I've got lots of interesting stories :)  Thanks for checking out my blog and let me know you've been here so I can visit yours too!

Blessings,
