Good morning, Busy Moms! We only have this day to do once, so let's play it well!

As we approach Mother's Day this weekend, what's your favorite thing about being a mom??

Feliz dia de las madres !!

Dios nos ha dado a Muchas mujeres unas de las bendiciones mas grandes " el ser madre " y es Verdad Que jamas podremos ser una madre perfecta pero si podemos ser buenas madres y Lo somos todos los dias no solo hoy... pero hoy nos celebran asi Que de mi parte quiero desearles ! Que tengan un Feliz dia ! A todas madres de mexico y Muy especialmente ala mia~ America Ramirez !! Dios te bendiga y te guarde —feeling blessed with Deisy Ventura and Jaackeliinee Guzman.

disculpenme y Perdon por la palabra Que  voy  a escribir y  mas si tu has estado en esta situacion te va a llegar y te va a molestar tal vez ....aunque en realidad ni una palabra es groseria ..pero Que gente tan stupid ,tan tonta e ignorante aquella Que se enoja por Que alguien mas a puesto a Su hijo o hija el mismo nombre Que tienes uno de sus hijos .y Muchas veces son personas Que tienen mucho estudio Que perdida de tiempo paso estudiando ... habrase visto tal cosa :-)  

nota: la palabra stupid tiene cuatro significados y uno de ellos es no no-inteligente....

se acerca el dia de las madres y siempre me es bueno recordar Que no existe una madre perfecta ... pero si existe un millon de maneras de ser una buena madre .....

madres ! si queremos hacer buenas obras esta bien no es malo ! no salvan ! las obras no salvan a nadie ...pero despues Que hemos sido salvas por la gracia de Dios. hacemos buenas obras ,pero no olvidemos Que la obra mas importante Que hagamos en esta vida sera la que realicemos dentro de las paredes de nuestro hogar . ~ love , Pilar Cardeña.

I have been inspired and busy and the past few days on constructing pretty new things and reworking pretty old things :-) and I want to share with you all , my first idea I'm sorry that I don't have a tutorial for this.. but there is nothing extraordinary in what I did ....for the next ideas I will try to have a tutorial .

A while ago I found this 1900's high waist skirt in one of those Goodwill stores , I really liked it and I bought it :-)  but when I tried it on I didn't like how it looked on me ..maybe it was because of that straps it had ..well ! I kept it in my closet until a few days ago when I was ready get rid of some stuff including the skirt ..then I thought  I really wanted  to keep the skirt ,so I decided to do something with it  " remove the straps "and add  belt slots ..and this is the way it turned out :-) much better!!
 I was happy with the result and the way it looked on me..but now I  needed a blouse to go with it ...well ! this is the blouse that  I found to go with it ,but to me it was to simple so I decided to add a green /brown  ribbon to the collar . and viola !! here is my new outfit :-) .

Benefits of apple cider vinegar !! Happy Tuesday Mom's !!!

Though many people keep apple cider vinegar at home for use in salad dressings and marinades, but it actually has several other uses as well. From household cleaners to beauty products, a.c. vinegar can be used in more ways than you may have imagined.  Check out some of these ideas about how to use this wonderfully versatile vinegar.


  1.Facial Toner  Make your own skin toner with a ratio of 1 part apple cider vinegar to 2 parts water, and use a cotton ball to daub your face with it after cleansing. It’ll tighten up pores, clear blackheads, and help fight acne breakouts as well as helping to heal any acne that has already popped up. Rinse your face with plain water 10 minutes or so after swabbing.


2. Conditioning Rinsefor Hair  Instead of store-bought conditioners that are laden with chemicals, just stir 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar into 1 cup of water, and rinse your hair with it after shampooing. It adds body and shine, and will help de-tangle your hair as well.

3. Bug Bite Soother  Full-strength vinegar swabbed onto bites can alleviate itchiness, and speed healing. Just soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar and then press against the bite for about 30 seconds. Repeat every hour or so for itch relief.

4. Tooth Whitener  Dip a cotton swab in full-strength vinegar and use it to wipe your teeth every morning and every night to lighten stains on the enamel. Rinse your mouth with water after swabbing to eliminate the acidic residue.


5. Weight Loss Helper  Apparently, taking 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water every day can assist with weight loss: the acetic acid contained in the vinegar helps your body break down fat, and reduces the triglycerides in your blood.


6. Insomnia Relief  Many people swear that a drink made with hot water, a tablespoon of a.c. vinegar, and honey (to taste) helps them get a more restful night’s sleep. This is another one that isn’t scientifically proven, but experimenting with it could be rather delicious.


 7. Detox  Apple cider vinegar has high levels of potassium, which can have a clarifying, detoxifying effect on the body. Taking apple cider vinegar in water 3 times a day can apparently alleviate the symptoms of sinus infections, allergies, sore throats, and even candida.


 8. HouseholdCleanser  Pour a full cup of apple cider vinegar into your toilet bowl, let it sit for half an hour, then scrub with a brush and flush away. Not only will it clean and disinfect the bowl, your bathroom will smell like apples for days. Use undiluted a.c. vinegar on counter-tops and other surfaces to disinfect them and leave them smelling fresh and apple-y. Dissolve a tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle of water for homemade “Febreeze”: spray it into the air to combat unpleasant odours, or spritz it lightly on furniture to eliminate pet smells.


9. Insect Repellent  Some people swear that the changes in body pH due to daily doses of this vinegar will fend off mosquitoes, but this has yet to be proven scientifically. A 50/50 mixture of cider vinegar and water can be sprayed onto your pets (and their beds) to help repel fleas, and it can also be sprayed around windows and doors to keep ticks out.


10. Garden Help  Full-strengh a.c. vinegar poured onto stubborn weeds will kill them without poisoning the soil around them. You can use a diluted vinegar solution (1:8 ratio of vinegar to water) to raise the acidity in your soil for azaleas and rhododendrons to thrive in, and if you dilute that even further and add some sugar to the mixture, you have home-made plant food. Add a few tablespoons of a.c. vinegar to a gallon of water and then transfer it to a spray bottle; you can use this spray to treat black rot and fungus issues on roses, and to fend off aphids.  If you’re taking apple cider vinegar internally, it’s important that you use the highest quality vinegar available. Organic would be the best option, but if you can’t get your hands on that, then don’t hesitate to shell out a few extra dollars for a good product. For topical uses (like for facial toner), you can use a lower-quality vinegar, and the cheapest products on the market are fine for house-cleaning and gardening purposes.

Happy Tuesday everyone !!!

Giveaway !!!

here are some decorations that I made for my daughters room, I think that I already talked about these but just in case you missed it here is the story again ... my daughter  asked for her birthday a room make over, her birthday already passed and we haven't started working on her room  until this week. But mean while I've been working on decorations,curtins etc..and these are one of the decorations that I made they  are suposed to be hanging in a corner from the ceiling !.... Well the thing is... that they won't be hanging on the ceiling anymore at least not on ours  I chose to make them in these colors because I had certain colors in mine for her room and she was OK with that , but that was my preference not hers.. ( sorry daughter)  anyway   the whole project has changed and now is going to be what she wants it to be ( she really deserve it ! she's such a good daughter )  but now these decorations don't go..

 So I 'm going to give  them away to the first person who asks ! leave your comment and the reason you need it and enclose with your address

It's not always easy to Be still... but thank the Lord that we can KNOW that He is God! Have a wonderful day !

Happy 13th Birthday Dear Daughter !!

 

ayer nuestro calenario  Marco el segundo campleaños de este año en nuestra familia y es Que en un dia como ayer ala 1:00 am trece años atras  nacio nuestra querida hija Genesis y son los mismos 13 años Que han sido de bendicion tenerla como hija ! ha llenado nuestros dias de amor y alegria y  estamos  muy agradecidos al señor por lo bueno que ha sido con ella durante estos años pero ahora es cuando mas le pedimos Que cuide y guarde de ella en este tiempo de juventud Que cuando este en necesidad de sabiduria la ilumine con Su santa palabra.Nuestro deseo es que se forme en una mujercita integra y dedicada al Señor de corazon y mente. ¡ oh mi Dios Que tu mano este sobre ella hoy y siempre ! es nuestra peticion.

algunos versiculos que
le leeyo Su padre ayer:

Salmos 144:12 Que nuestros hijos, en su juventud, crezcan como plantas frondosas; que sean nuestras hijas como columnas esculpidas para adornar un palacio.

1 Pedro 3: 3,4 Que la belleza de ustedes no sea la externa, que consiste en adornos tales como peinados ostentosos, joyas de oro y vestidos lujosos. Que su belleza sea más bien la incorruptible, la que procede de lo íntimo del corazón y consiste en un espíritu suave y apacible. Ésta sí que tiene mucho valor delante de Dios.

Salmos 119: 9-16 ¿Cómo puede el joven llevar una vida íntegra? Viviendo conforme a tu palabra. Yo te busco con todo el corazón; no dejes que me desvíe de tus mandamientos. En mi corazón atesoro tus dichos para no pecar contra ti. ¡Bendito seas, Señor! ¡Enséñame tus decretos! Con mis labios he proclamado todos los juicios que has emitido. Me regocijo en el camino de tus estatutos más que en todas las riquezas. En tus preceptos medito, y pongo mis ojos en tus sendas. En tus decretos hallo mi deleite, y jamás olvidaré tu palabra.   

My daughter will be 13th in a couple days  so that means that I'm going to have a teenager at home soon -:) and all she asked was a room makeover she doesn't want pink anymore :(  but changing color means changing furniture and we can't afford  that ..so I just decided to repaint the funiture make some new curtins and some decorations  etc.. .I will be posting pictures later  but today I started by making the curtins from some  old bed sheets and this is what came out ~ this cute tote bag and this beautiful curtins :-)

Not kidding it only took me an hour to do  this  ( the paint & the cover ) I used the same old bed sheets that I used to make  my daughters tote bag  & for the paint used spray paint fast dry !

fun and easy + cute = much better :-)

I made this colorful and yummy jello for the kids of our church today :-) this is perfect for partys fun & easy + delicious :-) I will share the recipe later .... have a wonderful Lords day !!
