Giveaway: A Maze of Grace by Trish Ryan

 
In her first book, Trish Ryan chronicled the ways in which finding faith lead her to the happily-ever-after ending that had eluded her for so long. Only it wasn't an ending. It was a beginning.




In A MAZE OF GRACE, Ryan picks up where she left off, sharing the early years of her marriage, and the challenges that both shaped and startled her: temptations regarding fidelity, the anxiety of shifting body image, the awkward nature of following Jesus in a decidedly secular family and city, and struggles (depression, trying to conceive) that made her wonder if God had lost her file.



With appealing candor, Ryan sweeps the reader into her life and ponders questions and issues that we all face, dropping nuggets of wisdom along the way that are sure to inspire, encourage and help readers from all walks of life.  description taken from here.

True Blood

Guest post brought to you by Lesli Marc


True Blood is on HBO on directtv around Denver. Alan Ball adapted it from The Southern Vampire Mysteries series by Charlaine Harris. It is set in a fictional small Louisiana town, Bon Temps and is about vampires and humans living together here. The show centers on Anna Paquin who plays Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress at a bar, who falls in love with vampire Bill Compton, who is played by Stephen Moyer. This season they have been separated because he was kidnapped and she has been searching for him. He was taken by werewolves to Mississippi and she has been growing closer to Eric, another vampire. Also, her best friend, Tara, has been struggling with the fact that her boyfriend was killed and that he was a murderer.

Sookie's brother, Jason, actually killed him but everyone thinks the sheriff did it and he has been seeing everyone with a bullet hole in their forehead. Another character is Sam and he owns the bar where Sookie works. He is a shapeshifter and has been searching for his real parents. He may wish he never found them. Also, Arlene is a waitress that works with Sookie and she just discovered that she is pregnant again, but not by her boyfriend, the cook. All these characters intertwine to make a show that keeps me coming back for more.

I made a quilt!

I was super excited that I finished this yesterday, so I just had to share it with you guys... I made a quilt!




I haven't sewn in quite a few years now, and I only took a one 2 hour beginner class with a few other ladies, so I was SO excited when I finished it and it actually turned out looking like it was supposed to!!!  What do you think?  Do I pass? LOL


Review: BreastPumpDeals.com

**This is a sponsored post for BreastPumpDeals.com.  I have not ever bought anything from this site, nor has anyone I know.**

Are you a mother?  Going to be one?  Maybe a friend or family member of yours is about to have a baby?  My cousin will be having his first in the beginning months of 2011, but that is all the new baby news in my family! 

I'm bring up the baby subject because of BreastPumpDeals.com, a site where you can buy Medela Breast Pumps at more affordable prices.  A lot of mothers breast feed.   And, as long as the mother eats properly, they say it is the best way to feed your youngling.  I'm not about to get into the controversy of breast feeding right now, however, I just wanted to let you know about this site, BreastPumpDeals.com, where you can buy a breast pump at a more affordable price.  (Because we all know that money is tighter than it used to be with the economy as it as right now.)

A Flashback in Time

Guest posting by Logan Carson




Last night I watched one of the funniest movies I think I have ever seen. Hot Tub Time Machine was a new movie that I found on cannonsatellite.com. After watching the promo for it, I had to order it and I was not disappointed. The movie is about four people who get into a hot tub that takes them back in time to the 80’s. One of the people is only 21 years old so he was not even born during that time but it was funny watching him. He was in an environment that he knew nothing about and it made for some really funny scenes in the movie. Also in the movie was Chevy Chase playing the man trying to fix the time machine so the four men could get back to the present day. While this movie is a fun comedy movie, it should be noted that it is not one for children. I was thinking about ordering this when my little cousin came to visit and I am glad that I watched it with people in my age group. It is not exactly age appropriate for the younger crowd. It does have some mild nudity and crude language and subject matter and some sexual situations. I found it a funny movie and would watch it again.
