Adventures in Missions, by guest blogger Katie Rowland
Please welcome my precious friend Katie Rowland, as she shares a story from the last year of her life, traveling with Adventures in Missions. I have watched Katie grow up since elementary school, and the Lord has gifted her in so many ways, but most of all in a compassionate heart for people, and a passion for Him! If you could leave a comment encouraging Katie, I know it would mean so much to her! Hello RealLife readers! Wow, it's pretty exciting for me to be able to write a guest blog for my blogger friend! Once upon a time when I ...
GET REAL on MomTV moves to Primetime Wednesdays
I am SO excited to be moving my MomTV Live Video Show to Wednesdays at 8PM eastern! I have loved being at 1:00 in the afternoon, too, but it's so busy for me on Thursdays that the change is going to be a lot better and more relaxed. I'm still a little nervous about the move, because I have grown to love so many friends who watch (and chat) at the old time! I'm always afraid no one will come to my party! :) But I hope you'll join me, and maybe some working moms will be able to come ...
9 Readers Digest Headlines You Can’t Live Without
I have been meaning to write this post for a long time! Every time I get my Reader's Digest in the mail, I am amused, (and slightly alarmed) at the headlines on the cover. It seems that in the absence of Readers' Digest to save us, we are all on the brink of utter ruin! Personally, I am thankful to Readers' Digest for single-handedly saving humanity as we know it. Here are some of the more important headlines from them. Apparently there are a LOT of juicy secrets being kept by the "establishment!" And 13 is a very secretive number! 13 Things ...
Vote for the Single Best Town, $125 Gift Card Giveaway
A little while ago, I posted about a contest going on at Disney's www.family.com. Kraft Singles is looking for the "Single Best Town in America!" Hundred of entries came in, and they were whittled down to just 10 finalists. I wrote about why the High Country of NC is the best place in America, (hint: it involves a 7-foot Wooly Worm)remember this? And I'm proud to say that a town from North Carolina made the Top 10! So of course I voted for Gastonia, NC! Here is a little snippet of what makes Gastonia so special: This town has pulled ...

I tweeted this photo yesterday (taken from my BlackBerry), with this caption, “Let this be an everlasting reminder of the day my kitchen table was empty.” I thought it was kind of funny, since my kitchen table is usually filled with craft items, fabric for my 6yo to create Doll Fashions, mail, homework, and sometimes plates from the last...

Each year, around this time, I start seeing the bunny- and egg- themed trinkets in the stores, along with the pastel candy wrappers. Why, oh, why does candy have to be a major focus of each and every major holiday?! I know it’s just to derail my efforts at staying in shape! Anyway, with all the allure of Easter Baskets and a mysterious, life-sized... [Read more of this review]

I have been using Blogger since 2007 when I started blogging. I switched High Country Mom Squad over to Wordpress in 2009 (well, actually my long time friend Ben Cotten did it for me! he ROCKS), and thus began my love affair with Wordpress. I never really had a huge gripe with Blogger. It worked, it was easy to customize, it was free. But as... [Read more of this review]
For a few years now, I’ve heard lots of Christian Bloggers wanting a blogging conference that covers issues unique to them. I have felt the same way, as well, on occasion. Although I am more than comfortable around all types of bloggers, it’s can be nice to be in the presence of true kindred spirits. So the wonderful Sarah Mae of Like a... [Read more of this review]
