So the kids thanked them with a song to go with their new maracan instruments. Man, I love these kids and my new daughter-n-love! Such sweet times!<br />

I'm still pinching myself after this weekend. My son and daughter in love planned a December wedding so that snow would paint the backdrop. However, Colorado has been unseasonably warm this winter. In fact, the day before the wedding the<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b><a href="http://www.madeleinebonin.com/personal/2014/12/13/rehearsal" target="_blank"> rehearsal</a> </b></span>was held on a brown and grey mountain. The wind blew more fall than winter. Where was Colorado's reliable, famous white winter? They might have married months earlier if they had known the winter would be so warm.<br />
<br />
We. prayed.<br />
<br />
And guess what God did in His sweetness? "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights..." James 1:17.<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span>God certainly, as usual, gets the prize for the best wedding gift given to this precious couple. The snow covered mountain provided a fairy tale atmosphere and memories to last a lifetime.<br />

Merry Christmas! Is your tree up? Are you in the holiday spirit? Our lights have been twinkling since October and we've been listening to Christmas music just as long! Needless to say, this is our FAVORITE holiday!<br />
<br />
Click the link below to get a peek into Alexis, and her sweet friend Lydia's Sleigh Ride Fantasy Christmas recital piece. I LOVE THIS ARRANGEMENT! I still can't believe these girls memorized this 5 minute song! Enjoy!! And...MERRY CHRISTMAS!<br />

Yes, I’m actually letting her do it, even with her clumsy motor skills. To her, it’s still a privilege and not a chore, so why not? This, of course, means that I must drop my standard DRASTICALLY in order to benefit from her effort, but seriously, <i>why not?</i></div>

Does my perfection in chores help her more than allowing her hand to practice? I, honestly, don’t care to spend time redoing all her work. </div>

Give them a head start in life by allowing them to work along side you. If you catch yourself saying, “No!” when they ask to help. Stop and ask yourself, “Why?” And then answer with a resounding, “Why not?” </div>

I over heard a handful of moms bemoaning the fact that their kids were getting sick too often during this cold and flu season. I understand. It's a real problem. I’ve been there and have learned a few simple strategies for avoiding “the bugs” through out the years. So here's my two cents from raising 11 kids...</div>

The old proverb, <i>An apple a day keeps the doctor away,</i> has earned its place for a reason. Do you know the benefits of apples?</div>

They are bursting with immune boosting antioxidants. Quercetin is the fancy name for the antioxidant found in apples, but you don’t need to know the name in order to reap the benefits. Just remember: Apples are a powerful antioxidant.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Apples detoxify the liver and keep the bowels moving. The body is like a river and if part of the river is built up with refuse then the rest of the river is toxic too. In order to keep the body clean and healthy the bowels must move daily and an apple is a GREAT way to do this. I buy apples by the case and require my kids to eat one daily. I rarely have to remind them to eat one, I usually have to say…”Slow down on the apples, this case needs to last a few weeks!”</div>

Wanna talk? Ok. Maybe you don't want to talk to me, but you may enjoy chatting with another author in the Healthy Living Bundle. If you buy a bundle you will have the chance to talk to some of the authors personally.<br />
<br />
Ask questions.<br />
<br />
Get personal.<br />
<br />
Learn new things.<br />
<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">I LOVE this section! </span> In fact, even though I'm an author in the bundle, I think I'll cash in on this opportunity. Read through the line-up of authors <a href="https://us154.infusionsoft.com/go/authors/a190/" target="_blank">(HERE)</a> I personally want to talk to Katie Kimball. I've loved her books for a long time! And <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px;">Sheila Wray Gregoire! Definitely Sheila! If your married, you should talk to Shiela ;-) Check these ladies out! </span><!-----------><!-------><br />
<br />
<br />
But It just keeps getting better! I just learned that you can Buy one bundle and <b>GET ONE HALF OFF!</b><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">Or buy 3 for the price of 2!</span><span style="color: #351c75;"> </span></i>Now I'm not great at math, but I think that makes each e-book about 15 cents a piece or something like that!<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"> YIKES!</span> That's practically <span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">FREE!</span><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
You'd be saving <i>SO MUCH money</i> that you would HAVE to go shopping for something else!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">SO COOL!</span><span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"> </span></span></b><br />

I wear an Up Band. It’s a cool sports tool. I look to the band for direction in the area of physical health and nutrition. When I’m sedentary, it sends little alarms encouraging me to “take a walk.” When I haven’t slept enough, it alerts me to the dangers of not getting enough rest. It breaks down the foods I eat, so that I know when I’ve over done it on chocolate. (Like I need a band to tell me that!)</div>

Bouncing on the hip of the young mother, the wee one was decked out in a pink ones-y with rhinestones and a puffy, pink tutu. A giant gauze bow crowned the child’s head and she represented one of the cutest little ballerinas I had ever seen. I smiled at the threesome as we passed, then looked at my own daughter to acknowledge that she had witnessed the same adorable family.</div>

One day I was sitting in my pediatrician’s office waiting for our name to be called and the scene in front of me was impossible to ignore. Across from me sat an extremely obese woman and her almost equally obese toddler.<br />
<br />
The toddler fussed, cried and wriggled in discomfort, all while the mom kept unwrapping little chocolates and poking them into the child’s mouth in an attempt to pacify the ill one.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The child was too young to communicate clearly what she needed, but it was obvious she did NOT want the chocolate. The irritated mom, however, continued her unsuccessful attempts to passify the child with sugar, which only made the scene worse..</div>

I’m the author of <a data-mce-href="http://goo.gl/afCBj" href="http://goo.gl/afCBj">31 Days to Fit</a>, the little give away at the bottom of the AWESOME Trim Healthy Mama Giveaway this month. I feel quite honored to be paired with these two AMAZING women. Amazing not just because of the book they wrote, but also because of the lives they live. I can’t wait to see who wins. They wrote a GREAT BOOK.</div>

Now a little about WHY my book and I are paired with them… When I was in my teens I began to see that weight was going to be an issue for my small 5 foot tall framed body. So I took all my questions and concerns to the Creator. I <b>KNEW </b>He had the answers. I <b>understood</b> that He created us to eat and enjoy food, and I<b> believed </b>that He cared that I wanted to be healthy AND TRIM.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
But I was confused about HOW to eat and MAINTAIN trim.</div>

I was tired, bloated and could barely put food in my mouth without gaining a pound...</div>

Come to think of it, deep cleaning right before summer…it’s akin to taking a bath BEFORE going on a sweaty jog. <i>We are strange people, aren’t we?</i></div>

Well, this family has worked hard together, and the progress was invigorating. However, I’m thankful it’s called <b><i>Spring Cleaning</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
and not:</div>

<b><i>Spring/Summer Purge</i></b> <b><i>and Wipe Until You Die Cleaning.</i></b></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a sparkly clean house, but if that were this family’s main goal every day, NOTHING else would EVER be <a data-mce-href="helaundrymoms.com/unraveled/" href="http://thelaundrymoms.com/wp-admin/helaundrymoms.com/unraveled/">accomplished </a>around here. Sometimes a girl’s just gotta let a room WAIT, and it’s OK. The world will still go around if a thing or two are out of place.</div>

I am offering my marriage book FREE on Amazon until Friday! If you would write a quick review in exchange for the free copy, I would be greatly obliged. Reviews help readers know what they're buying. </div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.38;">I wrote the book in a short little clips, so the busy and or ADD wives would read it ...</span></div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px 0px;">
In other words it may be a little book, but it's an important one. The more review it gets, the more Amazon wil share it. Let's work to keep Christian marriages together! (Don't forget the offer ends Friday.)</div>
<div style="margin: 10px 0px 0px;">
Enjoy the book!and thank you ahead for writing a review :-)</div>
