I will always remember the first time I ever thought that time seemed to stand still. It was immediately following when my first born said, "I love you, Mommy." I don't remember the exact day; but I will never forget the precious words tumbling out for the first time from her tiny toddler lips. I do remember the feeling that time was standing still and it didn't matter to me that I had biscuits in the oven. I just sat and relished her sweet words and let them soak into my spirit. I am ...

Trim Healthy Mama Chocolate Chip Pancakes Review
I was all set to go about my Saturday morning as planned: Be at my desk by 9am and write, write, write, then take a break in the afternoon to do a walk-by showing of respect to a neighbor lady whose husband went home to be with the Lord this last week.

Trim Healthy Mama Personal Pan Pizza Review
I've said before that I am competing with Pizza Hut and Little Caesar's for The Salesman's palate. So when I came across a recipe in the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook for a Personal Pan Pizza, I paused and thought that this just might interest the pizza lover at our house. Diabetes and heart disease impacted The Salesman's life, and our home, almost two years ago. I still remember the precious grandmotherly response from a woman that had spent most of her life as a nurse saying to The ... Read More about Trim Healthy Mama Personal Pan Pizza Review
