Written by BelindaMom

You know, sometimes it’s hard to be a Green-eyed Momster. Some days I get a wave of my shoe coveting days, I get little blue and feel like a little Retail Therapy would be just the thing. It’s an old, familiar feeling that I fight, even though most of my Retail Therapy over the years was happening at the Goodwill and Salvation Army.

It's even more unlikely that I'd ever consider trying a sour, fermented milk drink, given my long-standing phobia of spoiled milk. But that's precisely what I'm thinking about doing after hearing several friends sing its praises. In fact, the buzz is that kefir could be a nutritional powerhouse, capable of everything from reducing blood pressure to curing cancer. So I poked around a... Read more...

It was a request for prayers for a candidate. It read: "______ has requested prayers for himself and his family during this challenging season of his life." Dear God, I pray for optimum health, wisdom, mental clarity and political prosperity for ______, and for his protection as he... Read more...
