20 Minute Meals {20 Days of Giveaways: Day 4}

August 4, 2012 by Jules 2 Comments

Oh my fruitcake! I know Aaaaalllllll of us need to use our time wisely. 20 minutes is a practical amount of time to alot for preping a meal right? But most days we want to serve our famliies something more than the fish sticks and chicken nuggets hot from the oven. As a busy woman, Leigh Ann, author of 20-minute meals and blogger over at intentionalbygrace.com, understands the need for quick, simple meals without sacrificing quality ingredients. Just so you don't think this is only a stay-at-home mommy dilemma, Leigh Ann says she can remember the days of working 9-5 and coming home to tear open a box of macaroni and cheese for an easy dinner. On a good night, she and her family managed to eat-out in order to have something “home cooked.” Now she is taking away our excuses about not eating healthy and blowing our eat-out budget. She's got the solution!

In this e-Book, you will find everything you need to prepare simple, nutritious meals seven days a week for four straight weeks.

At this point in my life, dinner can be a stressful time. My husband and I are renovating a foreclosure and I’m 6 months pregnant. When dinnertime rolls around, I’m usually not ready. Sometimes this can cause panic attacks or moments where I just sit in the floor and cry my eyeballs out.

Enter, 20 Minute Meals! My life is saved…my family will not starve…we will not be forced to visit McDonald’s every evening. Thank you, LeighAnn! You ROCK MY FACE OFF! This book is a must have for any busy mom. And what mom isn’t busy?

Parenting Wild Things {20 Days of Giveaways: Day 3}

August 3, 2012 by Jules 2 Comments

Want to achieve a respectful relationship with your child that transcends time and rumpus for less than the price of a pizza?

I have to be honest, I haven't read this entire book yet. BUT I am going to try to before these giveaways end! The reason I am proud to offer this awesome book Jessica donated is because I love this girls heart! She consistently blogs at the Bohemian Bowmans and several other contributor sites. She is an honest Christian living transparent for her readers. If you've been here long, you know that that is what I'm ALL about!

What other people are saying:

I adore Parenting Wild Things for the same reasons that I adore Bohemian Bowmans. Jessica has a way with words that simultaneously entertains, teaches, and convicts my heart. Her sage parenting advice is logical and sensible and entirely thought-provoking. Parenting Wild Things is the stuff of good parenting. It’s the stuff of humanity, of love, and of gentle teaching. It’s the kind of parent I wanted to be before I got angry and tired. It’s about being a positive, productive role model and raising positive, productive human beings. It’s brilliant.

Tara Zeigmont, Feels Like Home

Jessica is an imperfect mother raising imperfect children in an imperfect world. The fact that she knows this sets her apart from many of the experts who give advice better suited for parents living in an alternate reality where pee always lands on the inside of the toilet and kids spring forth from the womb with impeccable manners. With candor and grace, Jessica reveals some lessons she has learned while raising her Wild things that will surely be helpful to you, too.”

-Matt Cannon, Seeking Pastor

Can't Wait? Jessica has hooked up ALL my readers with the discount code "julesrumpus" that can be used on the book through August 10th for a 99 cent discount. 🙂

Download the PDF file for only 4.99!

Or grab the kindle version for 4.14.

August 2, 2012 by Jules 2 Comments

Today is thoughtful Thursday so feel free share ANY thoughtfulness in the comment section or even add a link to your blog's thoughtfulness!

Today's Thoughtful Thursday is dedicated to Ms Rebecca from High Maintenance Aspirations. She is my faithful reader, blogging buddy, and a sweet mommy mentor.

Olympic Torch Snack

Ingredients needed

simple ice cream cones {ours were wicked old and stail}
popcorn {any brand- our was a cheap microwave bag}
Extremes {optional}

Directions

Pop the popcorn
Cut the Extremes
Load the ice cream cones
Eat {and make a mess}

Olympic Rings Craft

{and some other...stuff}

Supplies

White Card Stock
Used/empty toilet paper/paper towel rolls {I cut mine small so my littles could hold them easier}
Acrylic paint in Green, Red, Blue, Yellow, Black {we used Purple}
Animal Crackers {added at the last minute bc my girls weren't done crafting- Optional}
Popsicle sticks {again, added at the last minute bc my girls weren't done crafting- Optional}

Instructions

Give each child a piece of paper {you can cut in 1/2 if you want}
Squirt each color onto a small paper plate with 1 tp/paper roll assigned to each color
Show your children a picture of the Olympic Rings or do an example yourself
Encourage your children to mimic the example
While you tell them the history of the Rings and what they stand for
Lay flat or hang to dry

If your kids are crafters like mine you may want to add these steps:

Talk about your children's favorite Olympic happenings
- sports
- athletes
- event {just something they've seen while watching the Olympics}
- team {may not even be the USA}
Gave them paint a picture of what they told you
Glue animal crackers in place {as the "athletes" and write their name/team if you want}
Lay FLAT to dry {so "athletes" don't slide}

Biscuit Pizzas

July 31, 2012 by Jules Leave a Comment

One of my families favorites is Biscuit Pizzas!

How did I not know about these sooner? A friend a few years ago mentioned heading home late from Wednesday night church to go through a quick late dinner together before her teens: Biscuit Pizzas. "What are those?" I thought to myself with a snarled noise. THOSE are YuMmY! Come snatch the recipe I'm sharing at The Homemaker's Challenge today!
