Friday Rewind! And Then Some...

Hey everyone, sorry I've been M.I.A for a looooong time! With Super Bowl parties, Valentine's Day - and all the planning involved, and events at church I've just been pretty busy these past few weeks. So for this week's Friday Rewind, not only will I be sharing with you all what I've been up to this week, but I will also share what I've been up to prior to that. 

* Found these two websites: A Beka Book and My Father's World and decided that when I have children I will use these websites' curriculum for my homeschooling program.

*Re-visited the HSLDA website...it has been a long time! This site is great for homeschooling support and to research the homeschooling critieria in your state.

*I started following ABC...123, Confessions of a Homeschooler, Totally Tots, and The Homeschool Chick blogs! They have great lessons plans, curriculum, and tips for other fellow homeschoolers! 

*Fell in love with this blog...again!

*Did some research of my own on Prenatal Vitamins

*Made garlic bread, pear and blue cheese salad, pasta with spring herbs, and chicken for Valentine's Day! The garlic bread was the best recipe I've found thus far and the quickest! The recipe for cooking chicken is also a great resource to always have in your recipe box! 

*For dessert I made chocolate covered strawberries and this simple dessert! Quick tip on chocolate covered strawberries...don't use baker's chocolate! Here's a picture! 

*Found this website for tips on how to select dry white wines for cooking. 

*I'm so pumped for ALIVE, a UNLV student outreach conducted by Calvary Chapel Spring Valley and their senior high youth group! Campus Pregnancy Resources will be tabling all three days! Woo hoo! If you're going to be at UNLV February 28-March 2 or know someone who will be, check this event out!

*I'm thinking about subscribing to Proverbs 31 Ministries Magazine

*Made these cupcakes for a Super Bowl party

*Started reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

*Now I know I'm already married, but that doesn't mean I have to stop looking at gowns...right? I came across BHLDN and love their wedding gowns! 

What have you been up to this week? 

Friday Rewind!

This week I...

*Read this awesome post at Frontier Kitchen on how to get the best deals using coupon doubling!

*Added these three websites to my "favorites" to help me plan my meals and save money! Springs Bargains, $5 Dinners, and becentsable. 

*Found these cute football cupcakes to make for The Super Bowl! 

*Watched this webcast, exposing Planned Parenthood.

*Contacted my congress representative to urge him to end taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood here. And you should too!

*Read this letter to President Obama from the members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus. 

*Saw these Valentine's Day cookies and decided to make some for my hubby on the 14th!

*Read this article, and my heart broke for all the 8 lives lost, as well as the 50 million lost since Roe v. Wade. 

*Have been praying and thinking about going on a mission trip to Zambia this summer. Please pray for me in this area these next few weeks and months. I've been wanting to go on another mission trip for awhile, and this one to Zambia sounds awesome. Teachers are needed to go to teach, train, and equip to-be teachers/teachers in that area. However, I'm still not sure if I should go yet. It could just be nerves, because I've never been overseas before and just what's been going on in Egypt this past week and surrounding countries makes me a little uneasy. So, please pray for me. My best friend Brittney is also considering going, so please keep both of us in your prayers. Thanks so much!

Friday Rewind!

Every Friday I will be hosting Friday Rewind, where I will recap what I did throughout the week. This week it seemed like I got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING accomplished because I was sick the entire week! Boo! Next week, I have a feeling I will be feeling better and will be more motivated to get things done.

With that being said...this week I...

*Started reading this book

*Will finish reading this book

*Found this cute D.I.Y headband tutorial for Valentine's Day!

*Decided I want to start making these for spring/summer 2011!

*Read this article, which answers the question, Does the Bible Condone Abortion?

*Watched this awesome woman's pro-life testimony on an unexpected TV show!

*Decided next week's menu recipes will be coming from The Boss!

*Found these yummy cookies to bake for my husband for Valentine's Day!

*Thought a quick trip to this place would be a nice Valentine's Day gift for my hubby!

*Saw the arrival of my new nephew Isaac!

What do you think of the new Friday Rewind? What did you do this week?
