Tips and Tricks:
Is it cheaper to buy a whole new blender or just replace that busted blender jar? Until you figure that one out, you might try this: Many detachable blade assemblies screw right onto a mayo jar or a small-mouth Mason jar. Don't fill it by more than half, though, and as with any regular blender, avoid very hot liquids.

Lesson learned the past few days:
That sometimes it's ok to step out of my comfort zone. To be totally honest I'm actually quite shy and I don't feel comfortable meeting new people, so when I do step out of that zone it's a big thing for me. Going to the homeschool group was huge because it definitely pushed me to open up a bit and talk with people I had never met before......does it mean I will go every week, no, because I don't like feeling like I have to go and we do have quite a busy schedule as it is, so I have to tell myself that it's OK to trust my instincts and to go when I can and be ok with not feeling guilty if I don't. This socializing thing is a pain in the behind if you ask me LOL
On my mind:
September 11 and all that transpired
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full."
Matthew 6:2
