2nd Lieutenant Mom

Praise the Lord! Last Monday , April 19 was the First Annual HolyGhost Homeschoolers Recognition Night! I was so excited! The HolyGhost Homeschoolers is the name our homeschool group in the church. We co-op different subjects together, we attend field trips together, and do Christmas parties and different activities as a collective group. We formed the group 2 years ago, but this was the first year we did a Recognition Night. The ceremony was beautiful and the kids had such a great time. This year, I was voted "President" of the group.As the president of our homeschool group, I had the honor of organizing the recognition night for the homeschoolers. Basically, each individual school ( in most cases the "mom" ) turned in the accomplishments for their students for the year. Awards received for the night included, Bible Quizzing Participation, Field Day, Math Excellence, Reading Achievement, and Spanish Level 1 Completion, among other awards. The special guest speaker ...

Praise the Lord, Meet my daughter L. Today we celebrated her 3rd Birthday. She had a blast! She is my little go getter. Sometimes she'll tell you that it's her way or the highway. And that's hard to cope with since she's the middle child :) Good thing for her, that my mother picks "favorites" and L. is Her "favorite" :) As far as L.'s Grandmother is concerned, she'll be the best official "protester" this side of the Mississippi. In her defense, she is an awesome Big Sister. She has taken upon herself to make sure that her baby brother is entertained every minute of his day. And that is good news for mom ! In Sunday school, she has really motivated her self to do as well as the older kids in her class. She's very faithful to learn he r memory verses and absolutely adores her Sunday School teachers. It really warms my heart to see my daughter love the House of God. Ps 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the ho...

Water Water Every Where and only Drops to drink! Praise the Lord! This challenge is pretty self explanatory. You need to drink water, everyday, all day long to ensure you are not dehydrated. This is an exercise in hydrating your body. Research shows that by the time you notice you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. So, let's fill up those water bottles! And quench that THIRST. I'll be posting the results from last weeks weightloss challenge momentarily. Have a blessed day ! 2LT Mom

Praise the Lord! Okay the results are in! I think that as a team, we did pretty well, considering all the trials, tribulations, and temptations of the week , LOL. Unfortunately , however, we did not reach our goal for the week. As a team we weighed in at 9.6 lbs... That's pretty good for a start. See below for the individual results: Okay, so now that week 1 is under our belts, let's make a big push for week 2! We can do it! Ciao, 2LT Mom

Praise the Lord! Well, we've come to the end of our first week's commitment, and to be honest it has been unbelievable! We've got some that are strong on the team, some that have made major progress but are skeptical about their overall long term performance, and others who are just dropping out like flies left and right! Who knew that this commitment would get the "best" of us? Anyhow, it's time for the next challenge... For those who choose to accept it: Challenge #2: Walk the extra mile by going out of your Way Okay, so this challenge is pretty simple. Just step up your everyday fitness routine. You are committing to biking/walking instead of driving short distances, or parking farther back in the parking lot when shopping, or taking the staircase instead of the elevator.... Whatever it is you can do to walk the "extra mile" , Just Do it! **And feel free to continue Challenge #1 if you feel like it helped. My husband and I saw great improvement. ...

Praise the Lord ! Okay, that day has finally come! This is the beginning of our first challenge for the "I'm committed to 10! Fitness Group" . First, I would like to welcome you all who have committed (and those of you closet committers) . You have made the first step in the right direction for your fitness goals. We are here to help each other stay accountable. Do IT FOR THE TEAM! So, read your first challenge if you choose to accept it...However, this post will not self destruct :) Challenge #1 : Give up your VICE for 1 week. Your vice is that eatable thing/habit or group of things/habits that you feel is the biggest hindrance to your fitness goals. No fad diets! This is a change in lifestyle, so we need to be honest and aware of some of our bad eating habits. For example , Your vice may be "skipping meals all day long , only to eat late into the evening , consuming more calories in a few hours than you should in two days! " Your solution would be to make e...

I'm a One-God Apostolic "I'm a one-God Apostolic , tongue-talking, holy-roller, born-again, Heaven-bound believer in the liberating power of Jesus' name. I've been washed in the blood, sanctified by the spirit, I believe in holiness and I suggest you do the same. I was set free at an Apostolic altar on my knees so you'll pardon me if I'm not ashamed to be a one-God Apostolic , tongue-talking, holy-roller, born-again, heaven-bound believer in the liberating power of Jesus' name." -So Somebody Shout! Just thought I'd share how I was feeling right now, Ciao! 2LT Mom
