MIA

I know I've been missing in action this week, but I've been working on something very important.  I kind of went full speed ahead after "birthday season" adding Movie Monday and Aroma Wednesday.  But there was something still pricking me in the side that should've been the intro to the blog itself.  So I'm putting the finishing touches on a testimonial that I hope will be a blessing to people who may be in this situation right now.  It will also give you more background on where the Burney's have been, and help you understand where we're headed.

Just remember that when God blesses you and brings you through a storm, you must be ready and willing to tell people about it; or you risk God taking his hands off of you and leaving you to your own devices.  It's really hard for me to share, but I know God will get the glory and I'll feel better knowing I've helped at least one person in the process. 


So stay tuned.  I will start fresh next week with Sunday Inspirations.

Movie Monday: Jumping the Broom

The next time you’re on Facebook, check out your friends’ Info page. I can almost bet you’ll find movies like “Love Jones”, “Love & Basketball” & “Best Man” on the list of their favorite movies. By the time you read this entry, they will have added Jumping the Broom to the list. It’s one of those movies you will want to see over and over again.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

This is a very special day for moms all around the world.  No matter the race, nationality, culture or differences; the thing that binds us all is motherhood.  As mothers, there are always little cute anecdote to share about our children.  My funny story about the start of my Mother's Day is about how I pictured it happening and how it actually went down.

Aroma Wednesday: Shrimp Pasta

Today, I'm sharing my recipe for Shrimp Pasta.  It's my own creation.  I wish I had a fancier name for it, but I don't.  The noodles are actually just thin spaghetti. Wheat only.  Every pasta strand, noodle or elbow and slice of bread or grain in the house is wheat or whole grain.  Oh, except for grits.  I love grits and cheese!  Anyway...here's how I put this 30-minute bowl-worthy dish together.

A Weekend For Celebrating: Life, Love & Freedom!

I know I started Movie Monday last week, but I didn't have a second of free time to spend in the movie theater this past weekend. Lon and I hopped in the car to go see "Fast Five." We got around the corner from the house before deciding we were too tired (and too old) for a 10 p.m. show.

One Special Little Boy: King's 10th Birthday Bash

The joke around the house about Kingston is that he is the "king" of the neighborhood.  He seems to be able to rally all of his friends together for a full day of play.  Austin always says if he's not outside, then no one is out.  But as soon as he steps one foot out the door, kids come out of the woodworks.  I should also mention that if King is not outside, then he's probably grounded for some reason.  We can take his cell phone or his video games, but if we want to hit him where it hurts, we make him stay in the house for a day or two.  It kills him!

Intro to Aroma Wednesday!

I love to cook.  I even think I love cooking the food just as much as I love eating it.  I used to take pride in cooking meals for my family every night.  Now that they are getting older (that includes Lon) and more independent, I don't have to cook as much anymore.  I have time now to experiment with different kinds of foods.
