Is The Tip Right?
You and I are human, bound to make mistakes probably every day of our lives! Part of the problem is that we just don’t know certain things, or aren’t “well-informed.” One such problem occurs when tipping…anywhere. Most think the standard 15% is what a tip should be, but that’s only at a restaurant, and […]
So You Don’t Like Running…
Usually, you and I would be in the same boat of not enjoying the “sport” of running. I’ve caught myself saying constantly in the past, “The only time you’d find me running is if someone is chasing me to hurt me.” Surprisingly, situational depression will make you think twice about how you feel on jogging […]
The Freebies for Dad’s Day!
I love my dad! No matter what goes on in my life, he almost always had the right word (or Bible verse) to say. He has shown me how a woman should be treated, and has been a devoted and loving husband to my lovely mom for the past 28 years. This Father’s Day, you […]
Photos from Socks & Undies to Guatemala
Thank you for being the feet and hands of Jesus! Over 6700 socks & undies will be going to orphans all world through Orphan Outreach. A group of staff and listeners traveled to Xela, Guatemala in June to work with an orphanage called “Little House of Refuge” to deliver the socks & undies that YOU […]
It Actually ISN’T a Scam?!
Too many nights staying up late can get you into a lot of trouble financially. You’re dozing off, watching a late-night episode of “Mama’s House,” and the new gadget comes on TV that you HAVE TO HAVE!! 4 “easy” payments later, and the gizmo is already broken and busted, taking you in a scam once […]
A Food For Your Mood
We all know that pizza and yummy snack foods can make you feel happy…for a few minutes or so. But the reality is that over time, those things won’t make you feel any sorts of happy if you eat too much of it. So here are a few foods that can actually put you in […]
Stay Sane This Summer
Oh the summer time! For single people and couples without kids, it can be just regular working days with the additional trips to the pool. But for parents, it seems like work is double-time…with no pool fun! Whether it’s summer sports they’re involved with, to days where they keep on repeating, “I’m borrrrrred……,” it […]
Let’s NOT Get This Gift for the Kid
I will always remember my well-meaning uncle getting my baby brother a present for his 3rd birthday that wasn’t as much sweet as was terrifying: a clown doll that cackled. That’s right, right up there with Mr. Jack-in-the-Box and a puppet with dead eyes was this pull-string doll, which I felt would give me nightmares […]
Majors, Majors, Majors….
As a supportive parent, aunt, grandparent, guardian, etc., you’d love your soon-to-be college student following whatever degree that will make them happy. But the reality is that some majors just don’t pan out well when the job-world comes knocking. Trust me, it was a little bit of a shocker to myself to switch from being […]
“Like New” Not Always King
When it comes to shopping for a bargain, I will be the first person who stands-up proudly for the concept (the hubby being right there next to me)! Yes, half of the stuff (or more) in our 2 bedroom apartment was either passed down, a garage sale find, or Craigslist […]
Tornado Safety FAQs
We don’t have live TV at the house, so explaining this morning to the hubby why I was back in our bed and not working at PraiseShare was new news to him! His exact response to what happened in Oklahoma: “Are you serious?” A few hours later, when it sunk in that the severe weather […]
I’d like to brag on my wife for just a moment
I’d like to brag on my wife for just a moment: We announced this morning that we had decided to postpone our PraiseShare fundraiser for a day out of respect for those who lost loved ones in Oklahoma on Monday. A lot of our volunteers – who had already planned to be here to answer […]
