Gluten Free Bread We Liked And Didn’t Like

udi's gluten free breadLiterally every day last week I opened up a blank post for this blog and sat down to write about Udi’s Gluten Free Bread. As you know, I didn’t publish it last week – when I was supposed to. Why didn’t I finish the review?! I don’t know. My guess is that I felt like I hadn’t done enough for the review. I lost the picture I took, and didn’t create anything new or exciting.

Here’s what happened. We were excited to get this box of bread from Udi’s. We sat it on the table and went about our lives. A day later we ran out of bread from the cupboard and when my children started whining about it [whining is so annoying, isn't it?!] I stated, “We have a whole box of bread right here!

I made some regular grilled cheese sandwiches, we ate it as toast, and as regular sandwiches. The whole wheat bread and the white sandwich bread were the first ones to go. The Omega flax & fiber bread was ok, but I couldn’t handle the Millet-Chia bread. The hamburger buns were excellent!

Sign Company Signazon | Review

signazon logoWhen I was first contacted by Signazon asking if I wanted to do a review I wasn’t sure what I could use from a sign company.

Signazon says,“We print promotional materials for every need or occasion. All our products are easily customizable with our designer tool, and we offer thousands of free design templates across 15 categories.”

I realized that they print wall decals, brochures, and business cards along with a WHOLE lot of other things and I knew there was something I could use. Then I thought of something that my church could use a whole lot more than me getting more business cards.

Veggie Tales The Little House That Stood | Movie Review


I personally know people that are antiVeggieTales, proVeggieTales, and really-don’t-care-about-VeggieTales. My husband and I enjoyed watching them before we had kids, and then when we had kids we weren’t so sure about VeggieTales. Sounds backwards, doesn’t it?

These days when people ask us about them our reply is something like this: They are a fun, clean cartoon; but don’t use them to teach Bible stories. They are entertainment. While we appreciate the fact that they are teaching character lessons with Bible stories and cartoons we didn’t let our children watch the VeggieTales based on Bible Stories until they were old enough to know the actual Bible story from the Bible. There are VeggieTale DVDs that are based on literary classics that we did let them watch. While I don’t always approve of the music used in the cartoons, I do like knowing that there will be no taking of the Lord’s name in vain, no extreme violence, and no crude innuendos – which I can’t say about very many popular cartoons.

Do You Love Christmas Movies?

Gift_spirit clipsThey’re cheesy. They’re predictable. They’re full of schmultz and miraculous life changes that hardly happen in real life. And I like them. And I know that I’m not the only person that enjoys Christmas movies.

When I got an email about a free two week trial for Hallmark Instant Streaming I was excited to see that they have a bunch of Christmas movies to watch through internet streaming.
