<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's official... Our little family is going to become a family of three (or four if you count Gordon). We are due early this summer. Hopefully, we find out in the next few weeks whether our little gummy bear (that's what the nurse called it) is going to be a boy or girl.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once a month, the girls from our Sunday morning Bible class get together for a "Ladies' Night." The last time that we met, we had a "Favorite Things" party (and I didn't take a single picture!). Basically, everyone who came to the party brought five of their favorite things... all the same item. We put our names in a bowl five times each, and then drew the names of five other women. We went around the room showing our favorite product and why we love it, and if you drew that person's name, then you got their item. At the end of the night, each person went home with five of their friends' favorite things!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I thought it would be fun to do a blog post about five of my favorite things... which all happen to be beauty products (I didn't plan that by the way... I must just be feeling really girly today!).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Again, if you were going to host a "Favorite Things" party, you would have your guests bring five of the SAME item. The item that I brought is the first of five things that I am going to show you on this post. It is NYC's Liquid Lipshine in "Nude York City." One of the partners at Greg's firm told me about this lip color, and I agree that it might be the perfect natural lip color for pretty much any skin type. Plus, it smells like cupcakes! I've been wearing it everyday, and I love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0j_WH6EjAFlKs8vX28RMnXwGWwpJAbydq60g5PKyoU3He46ysfvw9yXmYTaE4az8iIqCt_EjIC7kBAsXVtODCC1wx50_RUJIMorGYJN8bnNM90DQHHecFs6J-JhXlGTVpI6oP7y2Dl1-R/s1460/NYC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0j_WH6EjAFlKs8vX28RMnXwGWwpJAbydq60g5PKyoU3He46ysfvw9yXmYTaE4az8iIqCt_EjIC7kBAsXVtODCC1wx50_RUJIMorGYJN8bnNM90DQHHecFs6J-JhXlGTVpI6oP7y2Dl1-R/s400/NYC.jpg" width="298" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />The second product that I'm in love with are Suave's dry shampoos. I don't have oily hair, but I do have oily skin, so the hair around my face gets dirty as the day goes on. I spray this on the front of my hair and it helps keep the oil gone throughout the day. Some of my friends also use it to just give their hair extra body at the roots. Suave has two kinds, a gold can and silver can. I like the way the silver can smells the best, so I use it the most.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZdMv_GqbZyL7Bs9DSC8pLR98VYEW-uixFL_vn-sSFIrB0O-srmXZJm6maQfbBZA_mgP79LXhKbvWGNDJcB2lz3IgZ3Zgm4I8BmSGwZ9-6007TmWxLuAEog-NNy9vKugZzhAetOwS0R2I/s1558/suave.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZdMv_GqbZyL7Bs9DSC8pLR98VYEW-uixFL_vn-sSFIrB0O-srmXZJm6maQfbBZA_mgP79LXhKbvWGNDJcB2lz3IgZ3Zgm4I8BmSGwZ9-6007TmWxLuAEog-NNy9vKugZzhAetOwS0R2I/s400/suave.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My third favorite product (in no particular order) is Cover Girl's Smudge Proof mascara. I have used this stuff for over a decade, and I might boycott all makeup if they ever discontinue it. The reason that I like this mascara is because it is half way between washable and waterproof. It doesn't smear down my face if I cry at a sappy commercial, but I don't have to use eye make-up remover to get it off, either. It just washes off with face soap and water. LOVE IT!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next up, I'd like to introduce you to my favorite nail polish top coat. Let me tell you why you should wear a top coat... because your polish will last forever! This one from Sally Hanson is the best drugstore top coat that I've ever found. Two coats of my nail polish and one coat of this, and my nails last for well over a week before chipping. Plus, it drys in minutes (which is fantastic if you always mess up your wet nails like me, ugh!). </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Finally, my last favorite product for today is St. Tropez's line of self-tanners. My dad was diagnosed with melanoma in 2007, and that day, I decided that I will never tan in a tanning bed again. I'm not a sun-hater, but I am much more aware that skin cancer (even the terminal kind) can happen to anyone. In comes self-tanners! I hate most of them, but I got a free trial size bottle of the St. Tropez gradual tanner one time, and I loved it! It doesn't smell like self-tanner, it doesn't smear like self-tanners, its not orange like self-tanners. It's amazing. I have both the gradual tan lotion on the right (which I use the most) and the foaming tanner (which I use when I want a darker tan, but it is messier). When I put on the foam, I use the mitt that you can see in the picture, and it works really well... a lot better than you would think a mitt would work, and I actually think it smooths it on better than your hand. Honestly, this is the easiest self-tanner that I have ever applied. It is magic tan in a bottle.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">All of these products, except the St. Tropez, can be purchased at the drugstore. I get my St. Tropez at Ulta, but I haven't really looked for it anywhere else.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So there you go! These are my favorite products, and I want everyone to know about them! Let me know if you try any of them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just like the rest of the world, I've been really busy lately, and our blog has certainly been neglected. Somehow, I always seem to be less productive in the summertime than I am during the school year. Anyways, here's a quick recap of the past few weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In April, my Senior High Choir got the chance to sing in a concert with Kris Allen. It was a tough day at work... but somebody's got to do it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I rehearsed with the ASO and ACS for a performance of Mozart's "Requiem." I felt horrible the night of the concert, and couldn't perform (Actually, I did perform through the fourth movement, but then I had to walk off stage before it was over - I was mortified). That's a fun piece, and I had a good time at rehearsals each week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Greg had a birthday, and I made him a cake (and our friend Steven!). Apparently, I've been hiding these cake decorating skills all this time. Who knew?!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We went back up to NWA for Memorial Day weekend to visit our old friends and spend some time on the lake. Then I had to go to the dermatologist last week... peeling from head to toe. Perfect timing :)</span></div>

Between dog fights, blizzards, traveling, and of course family, it's been a Christmas to remember. I'm working on some posts for the next few days to document our holiday season. Until then... Happy holidays from me, Greg, and Gordon!</span><br />

As I stated <a href="http://thenorthens.blogspot.com/2012/06/kitchen-renovation.html" style="color: blue;">before</a>, we went with a beadboard backsplash instead of tile or anything else because beadboard is so cheap, and we love the way it looks. In fact, it's so cheap, we extended it up to the ceilings and put it on the island as well. </div>

We had tile installed behind the stovetop because I was afraid the beadboard, since it's wood, would catch on fire... kind of like the time I caught my mother-in-law's kitchen on fire (<i>still so sorry about that!!</i>). Anyways, I love the way it turned out! It's on the diagonal to contrast the vertical stripes of the beadboard.</div>

We are in the midst of remodeling our kitchen. It's something I've been wanting to do since we moved in last Fall.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
When we first moved in, we painted the entire living room, kitchen walls, and hallways SW's "Macadamia," and I love it (no more teal in the kitchen). I often like stained cabinets that are unpainted, but these dark oak cabinets just didn't jive with the rest of the house, and they seemed to make the kitchen feel enclosed. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
We looked into new tile, and that was way our of our budget, so then we decided to look at new formica (which was the existing countertop and backsplash). But even that was more than what we wanted to pay for something we weren't crazy about. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
So I thought and thought, until I realized that we could use beadboard for the backsplash. It's under $20 for a 4'x8' panel (of the fake stuff), which is so cheap that we decided to take it up to the ceiling above the cabinets. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Almost done beadboarding (is that a word?).</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Every professional I spoke with, however, said DO NOT use beadboard behind the stove top for two reasons: 1) water vapor, and 2) fire! So, as you can see, I decided to leave a space above the range to tile, and since it is such a small area, I was able to splurge a little on my tile :) It should be finished by the weekend.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
We're also doing beadboard on the island below. I think that is water damage at the bottom... not sure, but it totally justifies all this painting and beadboarding in my mind.</div>

My mom has beadboard on the ceiling in one of her bathrooms. She warned me that it looks awful before the caulk, and it does. So, I'm holding my breath and keeping the faith that it will all be seamless after a little caulk.</div>

Below are the colors I am considering. (I bought samples at SW, and painted poster board.) The bottom is "Stampede" (BM 979), which is the dark color we used on our fire place. The cream color at the top is "Pale Almond" (OC-2). The plan is to paint all the beadboard and upper cabinets the same cream color. We aren't doing anything to the countertops. <i>Note: I ended up not going with "Pale Almond," but rather SW's "Softer Tan" for the upper cabinets and beadboard.</i></div>

It is called (in)courage and you can access it </span><a href="http://www.incourage.me/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. Each day there is a short, thought-provoking, uplifting devotional for women. I believe you will be blessed if you check it out. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As promised, I want to give you an overview and my two cents on Jennifer Kennedy Dean's book, <u>Secrets Jesus Shared</u>. I date all the books I read, and this one is dated November 2011. So it has been long enough for me to forget much of the material like I've done with other books I've read. But I can tell you that this book is a good one because I have retained so much of what I learned in its pages. It has helped shape how I read through the Gospels. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jennifer Kennedy Dean's book, <u><a href="http://www.thenorthens.blogspot.com/2012/03/book-review-live-praying-life.html"><span style="color: blue;">Live a Praying Life</span></a></u>, sparked an enormous interest in my mind to learn more about the Kingdom of God, something I felt I knew very little about.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In comes, <u>Secrets Jesus Shared: Kingdom Insights Revealed Through the Parables</u>. This is a six week study that you can do on your own or with a group. It is in a workbook format that also comes with the option of a leader's kit and DVD series. You can view and order it </span><a href="http://prayinglife.org/catalog/secretsjesusshared.html"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WEEK ONE</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>The Secrets of the Kingdom</i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was captured after JKD's first paragraph about how God might reveal "deep and hidden things" and "secrets of His kingdom" to <i>me</i> personally (Mark 4:11 and Daniel 2:22).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Week one talks a lot about Jewish history, and how it affected Jesus' ministry. My favorite part is when JKD discusses what it meant when Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. <i>(And then I always start singing "His Yoke is Easy" from Handel's <u>Messiah</u> in my opera voice, and I realize all over again, that I am officially a nerd.)</i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also, in week one is the beginning of a discussion about what the kingdom of God actually is. JKD lays out scripture after scripture in a way that reveals insight into the kingdom. She also teaches literary devices that Jesus used, why they were affective to His audiences, and why it can be helpful to recognize them. </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WEEK TWO</span></b><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seek the Kingdom</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Week two begins to look at "the stories Jesus told to illustrate who God is and how the kingdom of God operates." This is where it is going to get hard to highlight each week's point because there is SO MUCH INFORMATION packed into each parable. I can say, however, that week two was the first time I discovered Jesus' sense of humor. It makes me really happy (and relieved) to know that Jesus had a funny bone, too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is a quote from week two (pg. 63): </span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"The kingdom is invisible, yet those who have entered the kingdom will see its effects in the material realm [Earth]. Jesus tells His disciples that when they seek the kingdom, all the things they need will be added to them as well. The kingdom is operating when the will of God is directly in effect in a situation The kingdom is not relegated to the spiritual realm. It invades the circumstances of Earth."</span></i><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WEEK THREE</span></b><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kingdom Growth</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We may not always see the growth in God's kingdom, but it is there. It's happening. There's just way too much good stuff in the week for me to discuss. Waaaaaaaaaay to much. Here's what I wrote in my recap of what God taught me that week.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjkuUwFUMROA1sOoDl40yYtaGXUw-y0FRFZSBebBPvIefgVgUyR8pg-9psmnVl5-VU1-Fm6qdMvDfFpyWM9ikuP2devzS8AzTWXbqKxgxguVo5MQAyycFfDWLlpEES0KT7EvlBMz6UWk4/s1600/low.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJjkuUwFUMROA1sOoDl40yYtaGXUw-y0FRFZSBebBPvIefgVgUyR8pg-9psmnVl5-VU1-Fm6qdMvDfFpyWM9ikuP2devzS8AzTWXbqKxgxguVo5MQAyycFfDWLlpEES0KT7EvlBMz6UWk4/s640/low.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WEEK FOUR</span></b><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The King's Heart</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Week four reveals the extravagant and pursuing love that God has towards each of us. JKD, in detail, discusses the parables of the lost coin, the lost sheep, and the lost sons. No other parable had as much effect on me as the parable of the lost sons. It is still overwhelming to think about the intensity of what God has taught me about His love through that parable. I can't wait for you to read it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is a portion of week four:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>"Eternal life is far more than an addendum to our life when we die. Eternal life is a new kind of life that we receive the very moment we receive the Son. This eternal, abundant, overflowing life is in Jesus, and Jesus is in us. Everything God has to offer is in Jesus</i>." pg. 135 </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(See 1 John 5:11-12, Colossians 1:19, Colossians 2:9-10, Colossians 2:3, Romans 8:32, and 1 Corinthians 3:21-23.)</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WEEK FIVE</span></b><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kingdom Praying</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought week five might be a skim over week because I had already read JKD's book, <u><a href="http://www.thenorthens.blogspot.com/2012/03/book-review-live-praying-life.html"><span style="color: blue;">Live a Praying Life</span></a></u>. I was wrong. Week Five was just as enlightening as the rest of the chapters. JKD gives one of the best insights into the Lord's Prayer that I've ever come across. She also discusses seeking God and finding God... something I am becoming more and more convinced of with each study.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>" 'You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.' I will be found by you," declares the Lord."</i> Luke 11:10</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">WEEK SIX</span></b><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Kingdom Grace</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Week six talks about the way into the kingdom. Among others, it highlights a wide range of topics from legalism, works verses grace, coming the Lord late in life, and forgiveness. JKD's insight and opinions on forgiveness were the hardest part of the book for me to understand. I would love to talk with you about it if you have read any of her works on the matter.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">MY FINAL THOUGHTS</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I closed <u>Secrets Jesus Shared</u> with an entire new insight into the kingdom of God. I feel like I not only have a MUCH better understanding of what the kingdom of God is, but I also understand how to experience it in my daily, sometimes mundane, sometimes crazy life. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I do believe that the more we search, the more God reveals. And that the more He reveals, the more we want to search. <i>"Ask and you <strike>might</strike> shall receive,"</i> Jesus said. Why would Jesus want to hide himself from you? Think of the people that love you so much that you trust them with your deepest secrets. I want to be that person to God. I want Him to reveal Himself to me personally and exponentially. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To close, I am going to leave you with words from the very first paragraph in the book:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>" 'The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you' (Mark 4:11). Jesus spoke these words to His twelve disciples on a given day in history, and He is still speaking to His disciples in present tense. The secrets of the kingdom have been given to <u>you</u>."</i> (pg. 17) </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two weeks ago, Greg and I went "tent" camping. I use quotation marks because despite the fact that we packed everything else imaginable (sleeping bags, skillets, bug spray, treats for Gordon, <em>everything</em>), we forgot our tent. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, we shoved our queen sized blow-up mattress into the back of our vehicle, and went "tent" camping with no tent . . . for both nights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I double checked our camping list when I got home to make sure I had "tent" written down. I mean, how could we have forgotten such an obvious necessity? Sure enough, it was listed as #1.</span></div>
<br />
