I have been listening to Ginger Millermon’s new CD ‘Rescued’ since I received it last week.  She is a great singer. 

More importantly her friend Gina (who also happens to be her publicist!), mentions that Ginger is dead serious about ministry.   

Ginger just wants to tell people about the goodness of God.  The Millermon family lives life with an upbeat attitude, regardless of their circumstances.  That stems back many years ago to when their twin

MULTI-GRAMMY WINNER TO TAKE NEW FUNKY SOUL SOUND OUT ON THE ROAD THIS SUMMER 

Sheryl Crow is about to unveil her soul stylings on the new studio set 100 Miles From Memphis due for release July 20th on A&M Records. Crow will hit the road with a string of June dates followed by a headlining slot on the first five Lillith Fair dates. After the release of 100 Miles From Memphis Crow will debut a new live band to take her funky new sound on the road. A complete list of tour dates can be found on her website.

Crow is revealing “Summer Day,” the lead single from the new album, via her official website and Facebook page. Head over to SherylCrow.com for the exclusive premiere.

Growing up in Kennett, Missouri, 100 miles from Memphis, Crow grew up listening to the irresistible soul sounds on the radio coming out of Memphis in the late 60s; Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Booker T, Aretha Franklin and early 70s; Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone and Aretha Franklin, all of which shaped the artist Sheryl Crow is today.

‘I feel artistically revitalized and the music feels fresh and at the same time very familiar to what I do,” says Crow in a letter to her fans posted on her website this week. “Many of my past songs such as

Back in May I wrote a post about some books that were suitable for teaching Shakespeare to Children.  Amber decided that she wanted to study Romeo and Juliet, and so for a couple of weeks in our homeschool we did that.

When we were nearing the end of our study, I asked her what her favorite part was, and she said it was the Masquerade Ball.  She thought that would be a pretty fun thing to be a part of.  While it would be kind of difficult to put one on with just the two of us attending, we made it a project to plan out how we could recreate a Masquerade Ball.

The warm weather is here and the long days of summer, and nothing makes friends and family smile like lemonade.  Simply put, it’s a classic — a staple of the season that everyone enjoys drinking to cool off.

Whether your spending time in the backyard, at the park or just in your kitchen, Country Time Lemonade hits the spot.  It’s available in Traditional and Pink, and is a delicious blend of sweet and tart that will stir memories of summers past and remind you of what warm weather is really all about.

Who wants the same boring backpack as everyone else?  Sure classic is good when you want to blend in, but when you want to stand out the many patterns that Yak Pak offers on their bags will have your bag making an entrance whenever you walk into a room.

With plenty of room for books or traveling necessities in the main zippered area, the Yak Pak Student Backpack also has a front pocket for the smaller things you don’t want easy access to (like an iPod, Gameboy or phone).

When Amber is not home, I often wonder how I ever cooked for just Hubby and myself before she was old enough to eat dinners with us.  I have no desire to heat up the oven or our home for the two of us, but don’t want to use convenience foods at every meal.

Thus I was on the lookout for quality microwave cookware that would enable me to cook smaller portions, in a quick time frame.  The Nordicware Microwave line was what I ended up with.

Let’s start with breakfast.

My dream, ever since I was a little girl, was to be a super hero. Specifically, I wanted to be one of the Wonder Twins, meeting with Superman and Wonder Woman at the Hall of Justice on Saturday mornings to fight evil and save the world. Lacking a twin, I got a law degree instead, thinking it would give me evil-fighting super hero powers. As it turns out, I was wrong.

Lanacane Anti-Chafing Gel

• prevents chafing caused by friction such as repeated rubbing of skin on skin or skin on clothing
• helps skin heal itself by reducing further damage from chafing
• dries clear on contact and provides long-lasting comfort
• fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, non-greasy, non-staining and gentle enough to use anywhere, everyday
• economical, a small amount goes a long way and lasts a long time

Contributing to chafing is heat, humidity and sweating. All of these factors can combine to create painful, irritated areas on your skin. Chafing can be brought on by physical activity such as sports, jogging, bicycling, lawn work, home improvement or just normal daily activities such as walking, housework and shopping. New clothes and shoes can also cause chafing. Chafing if left untreated, may lead to infection.

My family teases me that they know summer has come because as soon as my socks come off and I put on sandals, I have blisters.  I have tried many

Courtesy of arqueraI know many of my readers are really busy.  Some of you homeschool, like I do.  Some work outside the home, or are work at home moms (well I mean for pay, ALL moms are work at home moms!).  Many of you are on the run constantly taking your kids to one activity or another.

So do you ever get just 10 minutes for yourself during the day?  If you do, what do you do with that time?  Watch t.v., surf the internet, read, exercise?  Or is that the only time you have to shut the door and go to the bathroom in peace, LOL!?

I’m pretty fortunate with just one teenager and being able to stay home and homeschool her, I actually get a lot of “me” time.  I spend most of that time blogging or doing social networking, something I
