Do you catch yourself being overly critical of your children or nagging them about every little thing? Head on over to We Are THAT Family and be reminded that it's all about being transformed, not conformed.

Looking for a not so conventional gift for the special man in your life? Visit Passionate Homemaking for a recipe on Homemade Aftershave Balm.

Kim over at Reid All About It recently posted a recipe for classic Texas Sheet Cake. Definitely a crowd pleaser.

I loved reading about the Benefits of Being a SAHM over at The Suburban Jungle.

Looking for inspirational gifts that point to Christ this season? Check out the selection of gifts UNDER $1 over at Christianbook.com. A couple of my personal picks are here and here .
