Exquisite Teen Fashion

"Exquisite Teen Fashion" will be dedicated to those teens who define fashion as oppose to allowing celebrities, the television, or others define fashion for them. My niece, for example, is a14 year old 8th grader here in one of Georgia's public schools and she has her own style. It's amazing how she puts clothes, colors, and accessories together. I wish I was like that when I was younger, but not everyone has an eye for fashion. So I would like to allow her fashion to shine through my blog. I will also debut other teens that I come across. This will be an interesting journey. More too come!!

Family Fun Night: Movie & Ice Cream Party

Every Friday night we have something planned for the kids. Normally we just do popcorn and a movie. Since we have Netflix, we have no problem choosing a movie that we all like and can watch together. Well this Friday we extended the invitation to other family members. We watched You Again (Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristen Bell and Sigourney Weaver) and Avalon High (Brittany Roberson and Gregg Sulkin); both were very good movies. This time we excluded the popcorn and in its place we added ice cream. We had all the fixings. Chiquita bananas, Smucker's walnuts in syrup, Land O'Lakes whipped light cream, Hershey's chocolate and strawberry syrup, (Kroger brand strawberry syrup as backup) Breyers natural vanilla ice cream, and Dole crushed pineapples. 
Here are the pics!!

What To Do With Your Kids School Work?

Moms and Dads, I have a dilemma. I am not sure what to do about my little girls school work. I have a daughter in kindergarten and another daughter in Pre-K. They come home with school work and arts and crafts everyday and I don't know what to do with their stuff. At one point, I was keeping somethings for sentimental reasons and I threw away the other stuff. Well, they found their work in the trash and started taking it out and asking why I threw it away and that it wasn't nice to throw their stuff away. I felt so bad! So I began stacking the papers in a pile, but now it is getting to be too much. They even have things in their room, stacked neatly of course; so I won't throw them away. But, even when the kids are not around, I still won't throw anything away. I feel like I am beginning to hoard school work.

Please help! What is the solution for this? 

Things to Remember When Dropping the Kids Off At School

PSA: Ladies and Gents... No Ladies,

Please be conscience of what you look like when dropping off your children tomorrow. I see young mothers in pajama's. Now this is a NO NO! I see young mothers in house shoes. This is also a NO NO! I know you are just running in for a few minutes, but you represent your child. I mean, we as parents tell our kids the represent us when they leave our house, so why shouldn't you follow the same protocol. I am telling you this because I care.

In addition, please don't wear these items to the grocery store, post office, bank, or for any other quick errands. Also, you don't have to scare the staff or the other children, so put on a little lip gloss and run you fingers through your hair.




Thank You,


The Exquisite Mommy

Book Review: Spiritual House Cleaning

Protect Your Home
and
Family from Spiritual
Pollution

Hello everyone, I would like to share one of many book I will be posting in the near future. I am a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit) and I am becoming more and more aware of demonic forces in music, television, books, artifacts', people, etc. The problem is that we as Christians are blind to this. We act like "oh it isn't that serious," or we dismiss it because we want to continue in sin and think we have time to repent (tomorrow is not promised to anyone). But the issue(s) will not go away. We wonder why our children, loved ones, and our surroundings are in such disarray. Well, maybe the words you are speaking are adding to the problem or maybe there is something in the spiritual realm that needs to be addressed. I am reading a book by Eddie and Alice Smith Spiritual House Cleaning. This book is an eye opener into the occult world and spiritual awareness. It gives many stories of those affect by demonic power. I was hesitant to read this because I thought it was going to be scary or something of the sort. It is not! In fact it explains who, what, when, where, and how we give satan permission to torment us. One example was a home that wouldn't sale. It was then revealed to the homeowners, by the Lord, that there was pentagram written on the home in two places.  The homeowners took the necessary steps (physical and spiritual) to removes satan's possession or rule over their home and the couple was later able to sale. This is just one story, but there are many. I don't want to go into further detail about this book because I want you to read it for yourself.

The price is $11.69 (paperback) and I purchased it from Amazon. This is a book worth purchasing. It is also an easy read. If you want make changes and see the results in your life, please go and pick this book up. Because satan is real and so is his well established, organized army. So be ready when he tries to attack!

Other books I am reading are:
Joseph Princes' Destined to Reign and the Destined to Reign Daily Devotional
Frank and Ida Mae Hammond's Pigs in a Parlor
Francis Frangipane's The Three Battlegrounds An In-depth View of the Three Arenas of Spiritual Warfare: The mind, the Church, the Heavenly Places

All were purchased on Amazon.com (My Favorite Place to Shop)

I would like to thank my Pastor, Dr. Jacquelyn H. Ponder of In Jesus Name Church in Senoia, Georgia for incorporating these studies into our church Healing School and Bible Study!

2011 HOLIDAY VoxBox FEATURED PRODUCT

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Quick Take:It was okay. I thought it was a little too mushy and the taste was rich.

Usage Tips:It should be eaten with a glass of milk.

The Verdict:I would not purchase again. For a healthy bar, it wasn't bad. It made my tongue tingle a little. My initial take on the bar was that it was going to be chunky or have some type of flake. I like healthy bars with a crunch.
