I am reading Angie Smith’s new book, What Women Fear. I am almost halfway done and it is amazing! God is using Angie’s book, to set me free from my fears.

So go over and get a copy of Angie’s new book, What Women Fear!

Fisher Price sent my son a Little People Zoo Talkers toy for a review. It’s for ages 1.5-5 years old. My son is 5 and he loved it! He is a little engineer so he enjoyed helping me put it together, which was easy to do. This toy has a special feature where you can put the animals on the Animal Sounds Zoo “identification pad” and it tells you what animal it is and makes that animal’s sound. We had friends over a few days ago and they toy was a big hit!

We heard from CL&P that our electricity was being worked on 24/7. However, we heard from some local workers that they were not letting them work any overtime. We were very excited to hear that a group of Texans drove up 36 hours straight and got the town of Kensington up and running in one day. They let out YEE HAA’s driving down the street when they were done! Being a native Texan, this is very exciting! Come on boys and show them how it’s done!
