What's the background music for your life?

I love listening to my iPod as I cook, clean, drive, soak in the bath, walk on the treadmill, or just going about my life doing the activities that add up to a completed "to do" list.

I am always curious at the gym, when I see someone nodding there head to the beat only they can hear, or the person singing in their car next to mine at the stop light "What are they listening to?".

So with that curiosity I want to ask you what are you listening to this week? My momma always taught me to share so I will tell you what I am listening to this week:

• "A woman like you" by Lee Brice

•. "Good Morning" by Mandisa (makes the morning drive SO much more enjoyable)

•. "Legacy" by Nichole Nordeman

•. "I'm with you" by Nichole Nordeman & Amy Grant (based on the bible story Ruth & Naomi)

•. "Born for this". By Mandisa. (if you need a confidence booster this is an amazing story. Based on the story of Esther)

•. "While I'm waiting" from the "Fireproof" soundtrack. (those needing patience, encouragement, or motivation. This song is a great choice!!)

•. Elevation church had a 12 day revival a few weeks ago (They called the revival "Code Orange") & they are now available for listening (on their website & or iTunes). A great way to hear a variety of pastors. Each night a different pastor preached. My pastor Craig Groeschel kicked off the revival. The others were amazing as well. My favorites were: Pastor Perry Noble, pastor Matt Chandler (quote "no sin, future, past, or present has more power than the cross of Jesus Christ!" amen! Now that is some good preaching!) also the Bishop was in the house one night -Whew! Intense!

I hope if your stuck in a rut you might try one of these. Or maybe you just need some new background music for your life. I Hope you have a great weekend!!

Friday Favorites

I am SO Not a morning person! However when I put Mandisa's new song "Good Morning" I can't help but go get a little pep into my step! It makes me look on my day with an excitement at the possibilities that this day might bring. If you have not heard this song, you need to!






I am also enjoying my low calorie chocolate cupcake/muffin! When you are dieting & PMS hits -girls, this is the cure!!! I know there are several variations of this recipe but the taste & the texture is so right on my kids ask me to make them. Wow!





I just mix all the ingredients together with a mixer -real well so there is no "crunchy" part in my muffin. Bake according to the directions on the cake mix box. I use Duncan Hines Devil food cake mix, & then sprinkle 4-6 chocolate chips on top of batter in cupcake liner papers prior to baking.







I am also enjoying listening Zig Ziglar podcast, they are free on iTunes & are positive & motivational. Filling my brain with positive stuff as I work around the house.






My last favorite thing I am enjoying this week, is the above new foundation. I heard several good reviews on the product, & when I ran out this week I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! It provides good coverage with a light shimmer to deflect light and give a more youthful dewy appearance, can you say "yes, please!".

Well those are my Friday favorites. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
