New private blog

Due to some spamming and needing a change,I have started a private blog for some of my thoughts!!! So, if you want to come with me, leave me a comment here! or come find me on facebook as amy pentz christopher

just random thoughts!

Aw, I'm still here. I have not worked on any of the things I want to work on, but my mind is planning on getting motivated. I have so many things I want to start, and I just don't know which one to start. Any understand that?

I am getting ready to start a new Bible Study Wednesday and then we leave for a long weekend to Florida to visit with family which should be relaxing and entertaining at the same time. I have literally had no free time to hit the gym and my feet are killing me. I am putting off going to a podiatrist for sooo many reasons, but its getting bad and I am just going to have to make an appt!

I'm find so many new blogs and I will have to share some of them with you soon!

Don't forget to find me on facebook!

Sept Challenge

I read a blog about a Sept spending challenge and I will participate. The idea is you spend the next 2 weeks organize and planning and as of Sept you try as long as you can not to purchase anything. Now there are some things you are allowed to purchase such as

gas for car
milk
fresh veggies
meds or things of emergent nature
planned activities such as church function, preschool payment or weekly childcare

You can also buy things if you plan your coupons and sales so they are free!

So I will be stocking up with coupons and planning, and will see if I can make it a week or 2 without non necessary shopping! Anyone else want to try?

Licensed For Trouble

I was lucky to have been given an opportunity to read and review this book and was able to get a free copy in return. This is my 3rd PJ book by Susan Warren and I was once again not disappointed. PJ is such a real character. She is funny and gets into trouble like the rest of us but sometimes seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you are fan of Christian fiction, get started with Susan Warrens books! What I love about this author is that she throws in details so that we can really get to know the character, you get to know how she thinks and why she does what she does! Another excellent book by Susan. If you love reading about characters who gets whispers from God in various ways, you have to read her books! ANother thing is that her ending never end like I expect! I love it! Dont forget to keep reading to learn how you can win a Kindle!

Find out more about book one, Nothing But Trouble and book two, Double Trouble.

Back to blogging

I'm back. I miss blogging. I spend way too much time on facebook, don't you? Between frontierville an keeping up with friends, I just spend more time on social things and not the things I want to focus on!
I'm mentally struggling with a lot of things and if you have been a reader of my blog then you have read a lot of this before!
1) I could be a better mom. I love my job as a mom. I could do better. We all can. I am whining or going into some deep depression, just wish I could do more!

2) and these are in no order what so whatever. I could be serving God a lot more. I could be giving more. I want my daughter to see my giving and I want to be an example. But I am not. That has to change

3) I'm tired of being a fatty. You have heard that before. Plump, fluffy, there are many words but I am just FAT! Another example I don't want my daughter to see. I joined a gym again so lets how this goes. I know how to exercise. I know unhealthy foods. Now what to do hmmmmm.

4) Struggling with lifestyle. Keeping a clean house, getting organized, loving my pediatric nurse job

Now with that being said,
I love my life. I love my husband. I love my sweet girl who is blossoming every day and coming up with new words and new ideas. Our new funny phrase is You've got to fight for your right to Party! She is too cute!!!

So hopefully I will begin to blog again about whats in my head and hopefully some of you can hold me accountable!!

If you are reading this, come back tomorrow for a book review and a kindle giveaway by the publisher!!

Let me know that you have come by and if you have been a reader before and if you have a blog
