Wednesday nights are always a quick and easy dinner night for us. I usually try to do something in our Crock Pot so that I know it will be done in time for me to head out the door for Youth Group.

And when I found out about Tidy Mom’s SoupaPalooza, I decided I would share one of our family quick and easy dinner favorites: Taco Soup!

29 Feb By Mommy Head 1 Comment

I love to take pictures of my kids. Hence the picture a day I have been up to this year. But I have never really known what to do with my pictures besides keep them on the memory card. I could print them off, but I have boxes of pictures that I have nothing to do with. I could put them in photo albums, but who has time for that?

At the end of last year, I introduced MyMemories Suite to the readers of MHA. It is a great digital scrapbooking software that is not only easy to use, but very affordable! You can have the digital scrapbooking software for only $39.99.

The best part is, if you purchase the software using this code: STMMMS44431 you can get $10 off! That is a pretty cool deal.

But, I have a way to make it even better for you. If you purchase the MyMemories Suite software and use my code, not only will you get it for $29.99, but you also will receive $10 in free merchandise and get their RAKStar Membership for free for a year! That is another $19.95 value, and includes so much! Click above to see all you get in your membership!

Here is how it works:

Go to My Memories and order the digital scrapbooking software and use the code: STMMMS44431

Next, email me: mommyhead@mommyheadadventures.com the receipt from your purchase. I will then forward to you a gift certificate for the RAKStar Membership!

It is really that simple! You will be well on your way to making beautiful cards and scrapbooking pages right on your own computer. Totally beats all the time spent cutting and glueing!

But hurry because this deal is only good until March 31, 2012!

29 Feb By Mommy Head Leave a Comment

Another month has come and gone! This year is already flying by, which is really nice for this 3rd trimester pregnant lady! Every passing day brings us one day closer to the arrival of our little bundle of joy!

I really enjoyed my reading material for this month. I learned a lot and had a really fun time reading through the material I picked out! I think this goal has been really good for me

40 Days in the Word by Rick Warren: I’m still working on this one, since it is a 40 day study, but it has been incredible. I really feel like I have grown in my ability to study the Word and get a deeper understanding. If you are looking for something to really help you with your quiet times and in your spiritual growth, I totally recommend this book to you!

Organized Simplicity: The Clutter-Free Approach to Intentional Living by Tsh Oxenreider: This book was incredible. Full of so many ideas on how to simplify your home, I was so inspired, which was what this pregnant momma really needed. If only I had the energy to inact all that she wrote about, especially her 10 day plan. But, I decided to table the idea until after the baby comes. I did, however, make a list of a few things I am going to do now to make things a little smoother once the baby comes. One of those ideas, you can read about here.

One of the other things I really enjoyed about this book was the wealthy of info on how to start a family binder. I totally plan to use her daily docket once we set up our home office. This will help me a lot with 3 kids to take care of

Seasons of Grace series by Beverly Lewis: What a great fun reading for me. I has such a hard time putting this series down, but was sad when it was finished. The story of Grace’s journey to find her mother and the secrets her mother was trying to uncover was amazing. The suspense and the irony of the whole story made this series stand out above the rest. I totally recommend this series to any Amish Fiction lover. Or really to any fiction lover period. You won’t be sorry. I even have my mom begging to read it

Well, that was it for this month. Hard to believe that so much has passed since January’s reading list was completed. But, be sure to stop by tomorrow for the unveiling of next month’s reading list.
