Psalm 127:3-5

Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5

Guilty Pleasures






So I was tagged in a post by Heather at A Purposeful Life. When you get tagged, you share five of your guilty pleasures, then tag five more people. So, here are my top five guilty pleasures:



I have said it before and I will say it again - I do LOVE chocolate!! This happens to be my new favorite candy bar - the Milky Way Simply Caramel.

Diet Pepsi - pretty much poison in a can and I like it A LOT!! I have tried quitting a few times and had success each time, but like any drug addict, I just keep coming back.










Kettlebells!! They have been around in our house for over a year now. My boys use them, and now and then I may give them a try. I made a decision a few weeks ago to make this my number one workout. This has been a very good decision. I feel strong, healthy, and fit. I also spent some money on some very workouts from a well respected kettlebell instructor and I must say this is some of the best money I have spent.




Wrestling and we do a lot of it. I do enjoy the sport a great deal, even though I would consider it one of the rawest sports around. The emotions that go with it are raw, it is raw in the physical sense as well. I have seen some of the sweetest moments come from wrestling. For example, last weekend Carter and Quincy won a big tournament and each were given a singlet. Cael got 5th. Quincy pulled out his singlet and said he was sharing with Cael and wrote QH+CCH on the tag. I think after the boys spend years celebrating victories, sharing tears, and supporting each other, they will have a bond that is beyond breaking. Truly, they enjoy it as well. Makes it fun for all.


Ok, this is not a picture of me, but it is something you can often find me doing after the kids go to bed. Sitting on the couch with my laptop. I love having a laptop. It makes reading blogs, message boards, and social networking so much more relaxing. (yes I am laughing at myself). I also must admit to being a text lover too, as you can see the lovely model woman also texting. You can find me doing that a lot too.


I have often been known to go outside the guidelines - and I am adding a 6th -
My family. I do truly love this large family. It is a pleasure and a blessing above and beyond anything I could have every asked for. I am guilty of enjoying them, wishing time would stand still, and enjoying the ride.







So I am to tag 5 people to also list your 5 guilty pleasures. So I tag - Keri - The Domestic Goddess, Janice - The Moehlman Madness - Shannon - NYC Girl with Kids, Amy - The Flege Farm, Taryn - The Blog of a 6th Grade Girl.
