January is National Thyroid Awareness Month. I wanted to tell you a little bit about why I am posting about this. I have a daughter, sister, and a friend's daughter that all have thyroid disorders. My daughter, Tatiana, had a brain tumor that was discovered and surgically removed at 8 months of age. Because of this she has multiple endocrine problems including hypothyroidism which she takes Levothyroxin for. Because the pituitary gland regulates the functions of the thyroid gland her thyroid doesn't work. My sister, Melody, has hyperthyroidism to the extent that it caused her to have Grave's Disease. My Uncle Jesse has just the hyperthyroidism. One of my best friends, Erin of Connected2Christ blog also has a daughter that was diagnosed with Congenital Hypothyroidism three days after she was born. I know way too many other people that also have some sort of thyroid problem. It is a growing problem and I feel we need to make more people aware of it.
I just wanted to let you all know about a going out of business sale that The Eco-Chic Baby store is having. I just bought a beautiful Käthe Kruse Nicki Baby in Violet and a SmartMom pink cupcake teething bling bracelet there for 75% off! I saved a total of $43.27!!
The Käthe Kruse Nicki Baby is a soft doll in one piece sleeper suit and colorful pointed cap. It is made in Germany and is super cute! Teela was looking at pictures of it on their website and saying dolly over and over again. I am buying it for her as an early Birthday present (her Birthday is on April 15th) and I think she is going to love it! I think I bought the last violet one they had because a few minutes after I purchased, it says it is now out of stock. 
The SmartMom Teething Bling Bracelet in pink cupcake is for me. I am a sucker for teething jewelry and even though Teela won't have an interest in chewing on it anymore it is perfect for her also to play dress up with. She loves playing dress up and the safer it is for her to play with the safer I feel about her having it. It is safe for her because it doesn't have small parts that she might choke on if she were to put it in her mouth and the material it is made from is safe also.
Valentine's Day is coming up on February 14th and what better way to celebrate than giving chocolate. I just had these fabulous Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate with Peanut Butter Filling Squares that I was able to try from SheSpeaks for free. These have a milk chocolate outer shell and a yummy peanut butter inner filling. They are delicious and I recommend them to anyone that loves both chocolate a peanut butter together. Ghirardelli chocolates have been around for more than 150 years. I was savoring every last little bit of these squares and although peanut butter isn't my absolute favorite filling for chocolate these were really good.
Indulge yourself...The Ghirardelli filled squares also come in these other flavors... Milk Chocolate with Caramel, Dark Chocolate with Mint, 60% Cacao Dark Chocolate with Caramel, Dark Chocolate with Raspberry. Yummy!!
This is a business card that I made and Uprinting printed for my blog. If I ever got to go to a blog convention or blogger event I really wanted to have something that I could give out to fellow bloggers. I put my blog button that I created on my business cards so my blog would be easily recognizable. I have to say even though the image I chose turned out a little fuzzy (I don't blame Uprinting, this was the images fault) they turned out very nice. I received all 500 of them neatly packed in a box. I love handing them out to my friends and family as well. I have also found that when going to product conventions I can hand them out to people there.
In 1994 Sandra Wilson, a young wife and mother, set out to handcraft a pair of brightly colored, soft-soled leather shoes for her son, Robert. These shoes worked very well for him and she wondered if other youngsters could benefit. The response was overwhelming by other mothers for these handcrafted shoes. She named the company after her son..."Robeez" Footwear and the rest is history. Robeez is recognized as the world’s leading manufacturer of soft-soled leather footwear for newborns to four-year-olds. These shoes support the healthy development of little feet. These shoes are best for little ones because they mimic bare feet. They flex and bend just as a foot would while keeping the little feet protected. They also promote good balance and don't restrict growing feet. The elastic in the ankles help them stay on well and provide the best fit.
My daughter, Teela, received a pair of 12-18 months Robeez Soft Soles in Floppy Bunny Brown to try out, keep and review for free from Robeez. She absolutely loves to wear them, especially inside the house since they are soft soles and they should only have light outdoor use. When she asks to wear them she calls them her "bunny shoes" and can now put them on herself. They remind me of moccasins because of the soft suede bottoms. I love the bright colors these shoes come in and how they have so many cute designs to choose from. 
LOST is one of my favorite TV series and I have watched it with my husband *religiously* from the first episode to the last episode of season 5. I am so excited for the new and final season 6 to start on Tuesday February 2nd! I was intrigued to say the least when I saw this book come up on Thomas Nelson's Book Review Blogger's website aka Book Sneeze. I chose it to read and review and they sent me a free copy.
The Gospel According to LOST by Chris Seay goes through and paints a picture of each of the main characters and how they are connected with the spiritual, philosophical, mystical, and biblical. Chris Seay compares the characters of LOST with people of both the Old and New Testament of the Bible. The chapters of the book delve into faith and reason, guilt, fate, quantum spirituality, dharma, island life and salvation. The author makes some of his own hypothesis and predictions. The book was a fast read and I thought the parallels were interesting. I think that it would have been better if it were written after the last season ended, but it is still a good book and I enjoyed reading it.

Energy: Its Forms, Changes & Functions
New Leaf Publishing Group/Master Books (September 30, 2009)
Tom DeRosa left seminary and the church thinking he was throwing away his faith, but in reality he found a new religion: evolution. In 1978, Tom accepted Jesus Christ as Lord of his life. Soon after he studied biblical creation at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church and came to the conclusion that a lack of knowledge of the biblical account of creation is greatly responsible for keeping many people from Christ. His commitment to breaking down those barriers is what led Tom to form Creation Studies Institute in 1988.

Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. Daniel 1:12, KJV Pulse was food that came from seed, including legumes and fruit.
Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God. D&C 88:119, LDS scripture
