For years we've seen the reality tv phenomena happening. People all over are loving reality tv shows. From Dance Moms to the Duggars, people are watching.  Why?  Why are we so interested in reality tv?  Could it be that we're sick and tired of fake tv? Romantic shows? Phony Sit-coms?  The question, "Does art imitate life or does life imitate art?" has been answered.  Neither!!  Today shows are being used to try to influence us politically. People are walking away from Cable television. With Youtube, people have become their own stars. Hollywood isn't needed. People are choosing what they want to watch and are no longer relying solely on Hollywood to tell us what to watch.  This has me really thinking. Why do we love reality tv?  I was taken back to the beginning of my walk with the Lord and I can remember wanting women to mentor me. It was hard.

"Clean your home and keep it clean!"  We've all heard and read this advertising ploy. Isn't that what we're all looking for? We clean our homes every day.

I mean collection.) about "Simplifying" and Marie Kondo's book. These all talk about getting rid of excess *stuff* and only keeping what you LOVE and what is really NEEDED!!  What's at the root of this? Sure,...

I was trying to edit my blog and decorate it for the holidays. Please put on some sunglasses and continue reading. I will be fixing it, but this month has gotten away from me. 💁 Where did this month go? Seriously? It seems like just yesterday I was making a huge turkey?  This month has been a whirlwind of parties, homeschooling,  shopping and of course, the start of Sarah's new season of competitions. We've tossed in David's Taekwondo too!!  For January, I think of winter. I actually had a hard time coming up with something for this month's calendar. I'm not sure why? I guess I had a creative block.  This month's background is again, from Janelle at Chantahlia's Design . This is a recent addition to her many backgrounds available on her website. If you click her name, the link will take you there.  I love these. This is a weekly planner that is really working out for us. I print this out at our local Walmart. You can get this do...
