Christmas Door Decorating {Church Contest}


We decorated David's 2nd grade Children's Ministry door over the weekend for the Christmas Door Decorating Contest at church.  I love how it turned out.  We used various wrapping papers, burlap, felt, cord and beads.  We even added lights to the star (at D's request)!

CNN's POPE: The Most Powerful Man in History Premieres Sunday, March 11


I want to share with you about the upcoming television docu-series POPE: The Most Powerful Man in History which takes a closer look at early Christianity and what it means to be Pope.  This series explores some of the most impactful moments in history including schisms within the Catholic Church, the creation, commission, and cost of some of the world's most iconic and beloved religious works of art during the Renaissance, and the Reformation that paved the way for reflection and reform.  POPE:  The Most Powerful Man in History premieres Sunday, March 11 at 10 pm ET/PT on CNN.

Check out the trailer of CNN's latest docu-series, POPE.



I also want to share with you the Roman Holiday contest (in support of this series) in which a winner will be chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Rome.  The winner will experience a Roman Holiday and a rare private tour of the Vatican.  This contest begins March 8 and will end on April 15th.  Winner receives: airfare and five nights of hotel accomodations for two in Rome, a $500 gift card, a private tour of the Vatican (which is home to some of the greatest works of art).  You can check out more about this contest and enter here.  Good luck!

Disclosure:  Thanks so much to Grace Hill Media for selecting me to participate in this campaign.  By sharing this information with you I will receive two $25 Life Way gift cards, one to keep and one to gift someone for Easter.  All opinions are my own.

Cascade Platinum Shines in Performance

Disclosure:  I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade.  I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.


Do you love washing dishes?  If you are like me, then the answer is no.  I don't really like pre-rinsing or even worse double-washing if my dishes do not come out clean the first time, who has time for that?  For the last week I have been using Cascade Platinum Pacs and I am super impressed.  Not only has it become super convenient to just pop one of the Cascade Platinum Pacs in my dishwasher (no mess, no measurements, no fuss) but my dishes have never looked cleaner.  My glass is actually sparkling.  I had forgotten that it was suppose to sparkle.  I guess my previous dishwashing product was not holding up and it took Cascade Platinum to show me that!  Let me show you a few examples.

 What Cascade Platinum Pacs look like.

 A very dirty pot - yep, spaghetti night!

 Not a drop of sauce!

 Remember my breakfast smoothie?  I left the remains in my cup for a few days and put Cascade Platinum to the test.  I did not pre-rinse at all but instead put this glass straight into my dishwasher.

How about that glass?  Amazing, right?  I was beyond impressed.

My days of pre-rinsing are over.  I am handing that job over to Cascade Platinum for all my future loads.  Cascade Platinum Pacs worked on my glass, non-glass, pots, crock pot, you name it.  These Pacs cleaned both the inside and outside of my dishes and that is important.  If you haven't tried this product yet I would highly recommend it!
