So some of you may know that I had never even heard of "blogging" before I attended my first LPL event in Boone N.C. in May of 07! After that I've been a faithful "siesta" on the LPM blog.
At first I just faithfully read the posts, but wasn't sure how to "post". Of course with my wonderful hubby's help, I got an account and was a blogging "siesta".
Last week one of the posts was on how to have a grocery budget! One of the comments had a link to another blog that I've found tremendously helpful!
A Lady with a family of six feeds them on $60!!!!! She posts her "plan" as well as her menus! She has many other wonderful frugal ideas on there as well!
I found this very helpful Monday when I went grocery shopping...I have new ideas for Menu planning as well!
My family really enjoyed the Tortellini Soup I made last night, as well as the Pumpkin Muffins for snacks and breakfast!
Does anyone know where you can find dry goods in bulk in the Tri-Cities? I noticed she buys her flours/sugars and cereals/oats is bulk and gets them very cheap!
Her blog is http://www.grocerycartchallenge.blogspot.com/
Here are the links for the recipes I fixed last night: http://www.recipezaar.com/Tortellini-Soup-16150 and http://www.recipezaar.com/Pumpkin-Chocolate-Chip-Muffins-3564
For the muffins, I only had enough Chocolate Chips in the cabinet for 1/3 of the batch so I used Raisins for the other 2/3. They are delicious but next time I make them I am going to use applesauce instead of oil...that way it will be WW friendly!
Hope you all have a Blessed Day!
I'll post pics of the Children very soon!
This Blog tells the story of a jewelry lady mommy and her sweet family as they journey together and have the blessing of Premier Designs in their Lives!

Red, Write and Blog!!!
I was so excited when I figured out how to make my blog "cute"...I wanted it to have this color scheme and as hard as it may be to believe it, I actually figured out how to do it! Bob was proud of me...I've came a long way since the days of thinking "the internet was broken, because I could not get connected"...however my my own admission, I still have a ways to go!
I am however, very excited about my blog, even if I'm the only one that reads it!
I've always enjoyed writing and journaling, but in the past few years have not been able to keep up with my journaling as much as I would've liked...this way I can accomplish both and be able to write down some of the exciting things that happen with my family! I also hope to look at this for some accountability with others in blogville! I posted earlier about memorizing scripture this year and I so want to do this...I will do this! My first verse is Hebrews 4:16. I know many things will come up that I will need accountablity for!
Today was a wonderful day of worship with my family...both the Fletchers and my church family! I don't know why I'm ever surprised but I absolutely love when the Lord puts something on your heart and them confirms it both through corporate worship and the encouragement of others! I LOVE this about our GOD!
Well, tomorrow Bob's 2 week vacation is over and we must all return to our routines...I've thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas time, but I know a return to "normalcy" is a must...however I will return with great memories of Christmas 08!
One of my "goals" of the new year is to get up even earlier and have my entire morning routine done my the time my children get up...I'm sure this could be a post later in the week!
If anyone is still reading...I pray the Love of our Lord abounds in our hearts and is outpoured into the lives of others that we are able to serve this week!!!
Love to All!

My First Blog Post!
Happy New Year 2009!
Wow, who would've thought that I, Laura Beth, would actually be technologically advanced enough to have a blog! I know, I can't believe it either...and I've actually figured some of it out on my own, however I must give some credit to Bob...okay most credit to Bob! There are several things on my list to accomplish in 2009...one of which is to blog!
I'm also very excited to be a part of memorizing scripture with fellow "Siesta's" on the LPM blog.
I'm looking forward to see what the Lord has in store for me and my family in 2009! Clark will start school in August, Harrison will turn 4 this year, and our baby girl will turn 1 in July! Whoa, I'm not going to let my mind get that far ahead yet...I just want to enjoy the "now" before it's in the past!
I'm also very excited about my Premier Jewelry business this year! We'll Shine in 09!
This is also the first New Year's we are celebrating together as fellow believers! On Father's Day 2008 Bob made Jesus Christ the Lord of his Life...he went from a knowledge of Christ in his head to a relationship with Christ in his heart! This could be a whole other post...I will just close by saying, I praise the Lord, for all he did with us and for us in 2008 and gratefully anticipate what he has for us in 09! Praise you Jesus!!!
