Y'all know I'm not big on give aways and rarely do them but the people at <a href="http://www.americanexpress.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">American Express</span></a> talked to me about doing something and I thought it would be fun AND someone will be very happy if they win!!!<br />
<br />
With the costs of food, gas and clothing rising rapidly, the new American Express Blue Cash® Cards provide a simple way for shoppers to put cash back in their pockets as they shop for every day necessities. With these new Blue Cash Cards, there are no spend minimums, cash back caps, ongoing enrollments or rotating categories of cash back benefits. The benefits don’t change, as they do with some other cards.<br />
<br />
Both Cards immediately offer cash back in categories in which prices are particularly under pressure: gas, supermarket purchases and department stores.<br />
<br />
Whether when shopping online or in-store, offers an easy-to-understand rewards structure:<br />
<br />
For Blue Cash Preferred, it’s as simple as 6%-3%-1% (6% cash back at supermarkets, up to 3% at department stores and gas stations, and 1% on all other eligible purchases). At 6% cash back, Blue Cash Preferred offers consumers the most cash back at the supermarket available in the market today. (Blue Cash Preferred carries a $75 annual fee)<br />
<br />
For Blue Cash Everyday, it’s a simple as 3%-2%-1% (3% cash back at supermarkets, 2% cash back at department stores and gas stations, and 1% on all other eligible purchases) with no annual fee.<br />
<br />
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in honor of the 6% cash back on groceries..............I am going to be doing a contest looking for the best SIX INGREDIENT (or less) main dish! I'm posting my favorite 6 ingredient meal and then in the comments - I want you to leave your 6 ingredient recipe and I'm going to pick the one that sounds the very best and that person is going to win ...............a $600 American Express gift card!!!! Couldn't you use that to buy groceries? Or anything?????<br />

I'm giving away the CUTEST apron from my favorite store - Riffraff. This store is the cutest, eclectic shop in NWA. BUT the great thing is they have a facebook page where they regularly list pictures and you can actually buy that way!! They ship all clothes, accessories and jewelry for $6.<br />
<br />
Leave me a comment and let me know you'd like the apron. I will draw a winner on Friday!<br />
<br />
AND for an extra chance - visit their FB page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RiffraffFayetteville">https://www.facebook.com/RiffraffFayetteville</a> and "like" it and let me know!!!!<br />

"Those Silly Sisters" is a book by Erica Stidham who wrote about the adventures of Katie and Claire. She plans to write a series of these books and each one has a memory making activity, along with a craft and a recipe to encourage more quality time.<br />

Does your skin change when you are pregnant?<br />
<br />
Pretty much everything in my body is affected when I’m pregnant. My hair gets thicker and grows so much faster. My face fills out. My feet even get bigger. And I won’t even start on the internal things like morning sickness and heartburn. <br />
<br />
My skin luckily improves during pregnancy and I love the “glow” that I get. It’s something I want to carry past my pregnancy and for the next several years. I think one of the main things I can do to maintain that is drinking water and taking care of my skin.<br />
<br />
I’ve noticed with Olay Total Effects that my skin has that added glow even beyond being pregnant. I'm hoping that even after I have my baby - I will continue to carry a glow because I'm using Olay Total Effects. It has made my skin so much smoother and fresh looking. <br />

I’ve never had great skin. In college I went through a horrible time period where I had continuous, awful breakouts. I think it was a combination of stress, hormones, and unhealthy eating. Ever since that time, I’ve been very self conscious of how my skin looks and very aware of good skin on other people. It’s something that I notice right off about a person and probably the thing I’m most likely to envy.<br />
I’m thankful that as I’ve aged, my skin has become much clearer and I’ve learned that wearing a lot of make-up doesn’t exactly always make it look better. <br />
I have embraced aging. I actually love being in my 30’s and I know I will love the 40’s also. I want to look young but I also have learned that looks aren’t the most important thing and I’m less and less concerned with what people think and more comfortable with who I am.<br />
And I'm turning 37 in a week or so - which is hard to believe but I want to look the age I feel - which is about 26. <br />
I do want to do everything I can to take care of myself and probably the biggest thing will be taking care of my skin. I use a lot higher SPF than I ever have. I’m careful of being in the sun too much. And I want to try and use a product that will make my skin look better.<br />
I’m happy with how <a href="http://goo.gl/vV07M">Olay</a> Total Effects is working just in the few weeks I’ve been using it. I feel like my skin is actually looking smoother and younger. My pores are getting smaller and I just feel like I have more of a glow! I'm very happy with the results I'm getting so far from using this product! <br />
<br />
Are you embracing aging? What are your secrets to looking young? One of your comments will win you a $100 visa gift card from BlogHer!<br />

<div style="font-weight: normal;">Two things have been affecting my skin lately. One is pregnancy. Luckily - I am one of the lucky ones who doesn’t get break outs during pregnancy. My skin actually looks it’s very best when I’m pregnant! If only I could keep that when the nine months were over. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;">The main thing I am noticing is I am starting to age whether I like it or not. I have a hard time believing and admitting that I’m almost 37 but I am. And years of sun worship are beginning to show. Also years of not taking care of my skin. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;">I used to have pretty oily skin but I’ve noticed it’s not dry - especially in the winter. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;">So I have been using the <a href="http://goo.gl/vV07M">Olay</a> Total Effects for a few weeks and I have noticed my skin is looking healthier. I've really noticed my pores are looking smaller and my face just looks more smooth over all. It's amazing how just after a few days - I honestly see a difference. I guess all this time of not using a moisturizer or any kind of skin care has been a big waste. It's great how one simple product that it isn't expensive - can do the job of a whole skin care line. </div><div style="font-weight: normal;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhL8NE0L8O8M0R0usEWs8eJJxwvbYhGBrccvX-Frk5scqmKxIKzj8_jT9Csf43a9dvr76Rx_a7fjvbCUK4C1d-igBg358T5VEGw-qD5tiN6koL0LbafR0ZeySDijxgC7w0kACE5499DpBF/s1600/Desktop3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhL8NE0L8O8M0R0usEWs8eJJxwvbYhGBrccvX-Frk5scqmKxIKzj8_jT9Csf43a9dvr76Rx_a7fjvbCUK4C1d-igBg358T5VEGw-qD5tiN6koL0LbafR0ZeySDijxgC7w0kACE5499DpBF/s400/Desktop3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I took these two pictures about two weeks apart - from the first day I started using Total Effects. You may not be able to tell a huge difference - but I can see it. I'm not wearing makeup in the second picture and I am in the first and my skin appears a lot smoother. I love it!<br />

<br />
I was asked by BlogHer and <a href="http://goo.gl/vV07M">Olay</a> to review their newest product “Total Effects”. Because I am undergoing skin changes, both with pregnancy and aging (I’m about to hit the 40’s), my skin is in need of some help!<br />
I have never had a skin care regimen. I know I have needed one - especially as I have entered my 30’s but I find it hard and time consuming to put several things on every night. I can’t seem to remember or I’m too tired to do it. <br />
So I was excited to try this new product because it has 7 things in one!<br />
* Line minimization<br />
* Cooling moisturization (and going into winter - I really need that!)<br />
* Energizes apperance (if anyone needs some energizing to their skin - it’s me!)<br />
* Gentle Exfoliation<br />
* Pore refinement (I have HUGE pores so this is a big one to me)<br />
* Free radical defence<br />
*Subtle lifting (and if only this would work on ALL the body. Ha!)<br />
<br />
I’ve only used the product for a few days but I already feel like my skin looks better! I’m going to be posting for 4 weeks - so I’ll let you know if I actually see improvement or not! <br />
<br />
<u><b>I’d love to hear about your skin care regimen or if you don’t have one - how does this all in one product sound??? </b></u><br />

<u><b>Leave a comment and one of you will win a $100 visa gift card from BlogHer!</b></u><br />

One of my close friends who I happen to think is one of the Godliest girls I know recently wrote a devotion book for moms! I'm going to give away 3 copies of it here if you will leave me a comment! (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A WAY FOR ME TO CONTACT YOU!)<br />
<br />
If you don't win - there are several ways you can get the book - go to one of the links at the bottom and order or you can get a signed copy by emailing her at <span class="email">berkli_binns@hotmail.com.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="email">She is going to give 10% of each book sold to a charity. Anyone buying books from reading here - the money will go to Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes. This is a place near to my heart that houses children in Arkansas who come from troubled homes and need a place to live. It's a wonderful ministry and one that my family supports. </span><br />
<br />
About the book:<br />
<br />
You know you’re a mom when:<br />
•You cannot remember the last time you took a shower.<br />
•Laundry is an everyday activity, but folding it is not.<br />
•You are eating chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, or pizza…again!<br />
<br />
But you also know you’re a mom when:<br />
•Your heart melts when that sweet little voice says, “I love you, Mommy.”<br />
•Your fridge is covered with special crafts, photos, and award ribbons.<br />
•Hearing your child sing brings you joy and a smile.<br />
<br />
Moments like these make being a mother worthwhile, and A Minute for Mommy is the perfect devotional to help you cherish and remember each one. Join Berkli Binns as she reflects on her motherhood experiences and lessons God has taught her through her children. <br />
<br />
With thirty-one inspirational devotionals, you can read through it in a month or just pick it up when you need some encouragement. Take A Minute for Mommy, and you’re sure to be drawn closer to your children and, more importantly, the Lord. <br />
<br />

This kind of sums it up for me:<br /><p>Do you ever question God's ability to catch you when you fall?</p> <p>Do shame, fear, and brokenness keep you from fully trusting God? </p> <p>Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable? </p> <p>You are not alone. </p> <p><i>Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God</i> is all about trust. How we fight it. How we learn to do it. How it transforms us. </p> <p>Life is not safe. That reality slips over us as we grow. Our response to the Father in that reality allows us either to swing higher and higher with the trust of a child . . . or fearfully shrink back from the swing set altogether. </p> <p>As we weigh that choice, God whispers: Trust me. </p> <p>In a remarkably transparent account, author and speaker Shelia Walsh opens wide her lifelong battle with trust and the moment-by-moment choices she made to follow where God led.</p> <p>Shelia has lived a life ruled by "hidden places" of insecurity and brokenness and knows the overwhelming beauty of a life wholly handed over to Christ. As you encounter her struggles and triumphs, you also meet ten of the Bible's transformed-Tabitha, David, Paul, and others-who teach us that in spite of overwhelming circumstances, just one trusting encounter with Christ sets beautiful things in motion.</p> <p>It can resurrect dreams, instill purpose, and ignite hope.</p> <p>Discover what beautiful things can happen when you trust God.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm giving away FIVE copies of this book and I will draw winners on Friday afternoon.

One was 3 years old and died of cancer 3 years ago. They also have these twin sons who have a CD out that is SO great! It's instrumental music and it's all hymns. Which I love a lot of music but I'm a sucker for Hymns. There is nothing like the old hymns in the hymn book. These two guys are SO talented and their CD would make an amazing soundtrack or gift!<br /><br />Check them out at :<a href="http://www.shekinahspringsstudio.com/index.html"> http://www.shekinahspringsstudio.com</a><br /><br />And I'm giving away TWO copies!

It's written by Pete Wilson who is pastor of a church in Nashville (that Angie Smith attends). I first heard about his book through Angie when he did a feature on them after they learned the news of Audrey. The book is Called<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.planbbook.com/"> Plan B</a>. And I think there are SO MANY of you who could relate to this book (including myself). I could have used this book when I was single, when I was struggling with infertility, when Harper's birth didn't go like I thought it would. And I have no doubt there are many days ahead when life won't be picture perfect like I think it should be.

"God wants to live inside the questions" says Wilson and then reminds us that "the cross is proof that He does not always change the circumstance but that He always has a purpose in every circumstance. He will never let go of us. He will hold us and His cross will be an anchor for you.</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span><br /><br />It's in bookstores all across the country and on amazon.com.
