MY OPINION:

I don’t do very well remembering to take vitamins, but I tried to take at least one of these pills a day. They look big but they were easy to swallow. No taste and no weird after taste. I have actually noticed that my hair has gotten longer faster so it’s obviously working. I have about another month to go before my box is empty, so I’m curious how my hair will look by the end of the year. The price is a big deterrent for me, so I don’t see myself actually buying these in the future.

“Where Treetops Glisten” by Goyer, Sundin and Putman.

Posted on November 17, 2014 by EmpowerMoms

This book was set in the time period of WWII and although it contains 3 separate stories, they all involve the same family members so it links the book together.

I loved all three stories. They were light reading with romance and Christmas cheer. I loved that they had such strong family ties/memories and believed strongly in God. I would highly recommend this book!

About the book:

The crunch of newly fallen snow, the weight of wartime

Siblings forging new paths and finding love in three stories, filled with the wonder of Christmas

Turn back the clock to a different time, listen to Bing Crosby sing of sleigh bells in the snow, as the realities of America’s involvement in the Second World War change the lives of the Turner family in Lafayette, Indiana.

In Cara Putman’s White Christmas, Abigail Turner is holding down the Home Front as a college student and a part-time employee at a one-of-a-kind candy shop. Loss of a beau to the war has Abigail skittish about romantic entanglements—until a hard-working young man with a serious problem needs her help.

Abigail’s brother Pete is a fighter pilot hero returned from the European Theater in Sarah Sundin’s I’ll Be Home for Christmas,trying to recapture the hope and peace his time at war has eroded. But when he encounters a precocious little girl in need of Pete’s friendship, can he convince her widowed mother that he’s no longer the bully she once knew?

In Tricia Goyer’s Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Meredith Turner, “Merry” to those who know her best, is using her skills as a combat nurse on the frontline in the Netherlands. Halfway around the world from home, Merry never expects to face her deepest betrayal head on, but that’s precisely what God has in mind to redeem her broken heart.

The Turner family believes in God’s providence during such a tumultuous time. Can they absorb the miracle of Christ’s birth and His plan for a future?

Last week’s exercise workouts -Jillian Michaels and TurboJam!

I haven’t been diligent lately with posting my weekly exercise workouts here on my blog and because I updated my ipad, I accidentally took off all my pictures from my device. 🙁

Here are my workouts from last week, November 2-8 without pictures. Boring I know-sorry!

Sunday Nov 2

As some of you know based on my Instagram post last week, I am in the process of changing my social media names and branding myself to better explain my purpose of blogging and what I want to accomplish. I will be switching over this blog to a different format and html, but I will keep you updated as to when that will be so you can easily find me! I don’t want to lose any of my followers! 🙂

For the past couple of weeks I have been meeting with Amanda Tress with http://fitpregnancyandparenting.com/hire-me/ as part of her mentor program and have learned so much! I HIGHLY recommend her!!

Messy Beautiful Love BOOK CLUB starts now! #EmpowerMoms

Posted on November 12, 2014 by EmpowerMoms

Last month I posted about the pre-order of Messy Beautiful Love and I’m excited to announce today that this month’s WomenLivingWell.org book club study is that exact book!!

Part of my passion for Empowering Women is to not only encourage fitness, nutrition and healthy lifestyles; but also developing yourself and your relationships.

They have already started week 2 but you can jump in at any time. I admit I’m behind because of all the other books I read for blog review, but reading a couple of chapters a week shouldn’t be too hard.
