Giveaway: JJ Heller’s LOVED (2 Winners!)
I’ve loved JJ Heller since I first discovered her through Kat several years ago. I own all of her albums, JJ Heller radio is my favorite station on Pandora, and I’ve been anticipating her new album along with her fanbase of more than 100,000 on Facebook.
When she and her husband, Dave, began writing the lyrics for LOVED, they were walking through a season of illness, death and broken marriages within their community, and the lyrics of this album reflect the weight of those situations as well as the eternal hope we have in Christ. While I’ve enjoyed their whimsical and joyful songs that celebrate life, love and new parenthood, I also really appreciate the beauty and poignancy of these songs.
My favorite line of all is from the video below: “I don’t know…I don’t know what You’re doing. But I know who You are.”
I was so excited to get a sneak peek of this album last week, and I love the hope — and the deeper kind of joy that goes beyond current circumstances — that these songs reflect!
Enter to Win
This week, JJ Heller is giving two lucky Life Your Way readers each a copy of her new album, Loved!
To enter, fill out the form below:
This giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on Sunday, 3/17. The winner will be selected randomly and notified by email, and this post will be updated with their name as well. Open to U.S. residents 18 years old and above.

De-clutter Before You Spring Clean
The following post is from Becky of Clean Mama:
source: bluishorange
Ready to start spring cleaning? Did you de-clutter first? If you want your spring cleaning to be effective and worth the time and effort, put in a little time before you start the cleaning process to de-clutter.
Why? It’s like prepping for a painting project.
You have to tape, put down drop cloths, and cut-in corners. Without that prep work your painting job will be sloppy and without those neat edges and clean lines. Doing a little de-cluttering before your spring cleaning will bring about similar results. Your spring cleaning will have a bigger impact and longer lasting results.
Here’s why:
Getting rid of some of your clutter and visual noise will make it easier to clean because there will be less moving around stuff to clean underneath it.
Removing the clutter will energize and motivate you to spring clean.
Taking time to think about the stuff that’s cluttering your life will cause you to be more intentional about what you bring into your home and what you display. Do you love it and use it? Keep it. Otherwise figure out a better place for it.
What’s the best method to de-clutter? Regardless of your system, moving quickly is the key. My favorite sorting method?
Keep
Toss or Recycle
Donate
Sell
Start by de-cluttering major areas first before narrowing it down into smaller spaces.
Surfaces – tables, desks, counters, dressers.
Floors – probably stray socks, toys, stuff under beds and dressers.
Hot Spots - it might be a stack of perpetual bills on the counter or electronics cluttered near a charging station. Hot spots are areas that continue to multiply because there isn’t a good solution for the stuff. Take some time to think of a better solution to avoid the hot spots from repeating themselves.
Once you’ve tackled the surfaces, floors, and hot spots you’re ready to move on to specific rooms and areas.
This de-cluttering method can be used for one room or the entire house. Once the clutter has been cleared you’re ready to move on to your spring or deep cleaning.
I just released a brand new eBook/guide Cleaning Around the Seasons: Deep Cleaning On Your Schedule. If you’re looking to do some spring cleaning or deep cleaning in your home, my guide will help you de-clutter and determine the best way to deep clean your home on your schedule. It also include 7 printable guides to use for all your de-cluttering and spring cleaning. I’d love for you to check it out!
What’s your take on spring cleaning? Do you attempt a little, a lot, or none at all?

Can “Real Foodies” Shop Discount Stores?
The following post is from Kate of Modern Alternative Mama:
source: Modern Alternative Mama
We all want to save money on groceries. They’re a major expense for any family, especially growing ones. But when you are committed to “real food” suddenly the game changes. There are rarely coupons for real food, and they don’t sell grass-fed beef at scratch’n'dent-type places (or even ‘normal’ grocery stores). So can real foodies actually benefit from discount stores at all? Or are they simply doomed to higher prices?
The Discount Run-Around
For a couple of years, I visited discount stores annually or semi-annually. I was generally disappointed in what they offered and left without buying much. It wasn’t worth my time to go very often because they just didn’t carry the types of products I was looking for.
That’s been changing — finally — in the last several months.
More and more people are conscious about what they eat. More people are starting to demand organic and ‘clean’ options. And even discount stores are now starting to respond to that demand! If you haven’t been inside a discount store for a few years, you may want to check it out again.
My Discount Store Experience
A few months back, I decided to head to Aldi for my annual “Is there anything I can buy?” mission. Only, this time, there was. They were carrying items like no-junk veggie chips, cheap produce (that wasn’t on the ‘dirty dozen’ list), wild-caught salmon, Lifeway kefir, and even some Kerrygold items! I was able to find a decent selection of items we enjoy.
I’ve found more and more organic and natural options in scratch’n'dent stores as well. I’ve picked up organic corn chips, Larabars, organic crackers, organic cereal, organic peanut butter, and more.
After several weeks, Aldi began to carry a new organic line. I found some “O” cereal that doesn’t contain corn (a grain we can’t eat at this time). They also had organic, raw cheddar, pasta, fruit snacks, and more. And they were priced so much cheaper than anywhere else.
If you’re not that concerned with organic, but are mostly looking for “whole foods,” then you will find even more options. Aldi has begun to carry more and more produce and some of it is on sale super cheap every week. I picked up lemons for $0.69/lb. and avocados just $0.49/each (which is half or less what I’d pay anywhere else).
Finally, because of consumer demand – yes, discount stores are a viable option!
What NOT to Buy at Discount Stores
While I now spend a significant portion of my grocery budget at discount stores, there are some items I simply will not buy there. Quality in these areas is too important to me and I have other local sources I prefer. These include:
Meat- I go through local farms or butchers to buy pastured options.
Eggs- I also prefer local farms for these.
Milk- I have a herdshare and we get raw milk.
Grains- I buy whole brown rice and wheat berries at bulk stores.
Oils/fats- I buy most of my oils at somewhat ‘better’ stores, including online bulk if I can.
These are priorities in my grocery budget. Although we eat a lot of produce (I probably buy 50 – 60 lbs. every couple weeks), I prioritize the animal products more heavily because the pesticide load, I believe, could be even higher.
No Perfect Answers
In a perfect world, would I shop the discount stores? Maybe not. Maybe I’d buy 100% local and organic everything. But I don’t have the money for that. My goal is to feed my family the best I can within the budget that I have. A few people have turned up their noses and said “I’d never compromise on….” And that’s fine. Everyone has their own personal limits and boundaries.
But, if you’re looking for a way to save on groceries, check out some of these places. You just might find options that work for you!
Do you shop the discount stores? Why or why not?

How to Grow Herbs Indoors
The following post is from Victoria of Project Homestead:
Source: nataliewitt
Signs of spring are springing everywhere. Though if you’re in a chilly place like I am, evidence is fleeting. A warm, sunshiny day is followed by a blustery, snowy one.
That’s why it’s so gratifying for me to start plants indoors this time of year. I start vegetable seedlings in April to give them a head start for our short growing season here in Maine. But March is for planning—and herbs. They offer a bite-sized project for homesteaders and cooks alike. And they pack loads of flavor in very little space. There are few things I like more than brushing up against the rosemary plant in my sunny office window. It’s the closest I come to a spa treatment until Mother’s Day.
Here are few tips for getting your herb garden started:
Choose your varieties.
source: In My Kitchen Garden
The easiest herbs to start inside are often the ones you’ll want to use the most. For some people, that means dill, oregano or chives. But I can live without these until the garden warms up. But I reach for these five herbs day-in and day-out. They’re also pretty, which makes a difference when they’re living on your kitchen counter.
Basil. Snip it into tomato sauces, soups and salads. It’s peppery and sweet and smells just like summer. Look for big-leaved Gevovese or tiny-leaved Spicy Bush varieties.
Flat-leaf parsley. If I had to grow only one herb, Italian or flat-leaf parsley would be it. Its so fresh, so versatile and so, well, green, I can’t do without it. (The stems have as much flavor as the leaves, even.) Any “giant” version will do.
Thyme. It’s one of the most lovely herbs to grow, and there are dozens of varieties. Choose Summer Thyme, which boasts lots of leaves and a bushy (instead of creeping) shape, when it grows up.
Cilantro. The world would be a duller place without curry and guacamole. If you agree, you can’t afford not to grow dainty cilantro. I’ve grown Santo, but I think I’ll try Calypso this year. Cilantro germinates quickly and grows easily.
Rosemary. This woody evergreen is so aromatic that a little goes a LONG way in your cooking. (Too much tastes a bit like soap to me.) It’s easy to grow—but not start from seed. Give yourself a head start: Buy a seedling, and call it good.
Get planting.
Some herbs are easiest to grow from seed, others from seedlings you can start to buy at your local greenhouse or garden center now. Here’s how to handle each.
Seed purveyors including Johnny’s Selected Seeds sell nifty seed “disks” that fill a 6-inch pot. For the time-starved or unsure gardener, they’re nearly foolproof. But I usually use seed packets because they’re a better value; you can use what’s left over in the garden later on. When you’re deciding on your container, keep in mind that each full-grown plant can use 1 gallon of potting soil. A 12” pot holds 3 ½ gallons—room enough for 3 or 4 plants. To save space, you can also plant your herbs in smaller pots. Then move them outdoors once they’ve really taken off by early summer.
source: sheknows.com
Now, follow these four simple steps:
Step 1: Find your herbs a warm home. Basil, parsley, and thyme prefer a balmy 70 degrees to germinate, which may be warmer than your house this time of year. And, if your windowsills are drafty like mine, that’s not the best start, either. I put mine near the wood stove or on the shelf above my stove. Once they’ve sprouted, you can think about the sunny window where they’ll live.
Step 2: Plant. Some herbs need light to germinate, other don’t. Basil and parsley prefer darkness. When seeding these, make a little dimple (about 1/4” deep) in the soil where the seed will go and cover it lightly with potting mix. You can sprinkle seeds for herbs that need light, including cilantro and thyme, right on top of the soil. Easy!
Step 3: Water lightly and often. Parsley, thyme and rosemary get touchy about too much water. So let the soil dry out to the touch, then give them a good drink until water drips out of the bottom of the pot. The others love a light misting (little ones love this job) a couple of times a day. Aim to keep their soil moist to the touch.
Step 4: Wait. It can take several weeks to see real progress, but it will come. Once it does, you’ll be spending lots more time outside, in the “real” garden. And these little beauties will fill your kitchen with delicious morsels of freshness all the while.
What is your favorite herb – and how do you use it?

Weekly Reads {3/11/13}
I love pre-ordering books and having them show up overnight on their release date! This week I got lucky and ended up a Monkey Joe’s (an indoor bounce house play area) with our 7-year-old and her friend on the day Requiem was released, which meant I was able to sit and read guilt free while they played.
Head here to see Katie’s post for this week. We also want to know what you’re reading! Add your blog post to the linky below or leave a comment with your favorite reads from this week.
This Week’s Reads
Forgotten God by Francis Chan
I’m just about halfway through Forgotten God, and I absolutely love this book. Francis Chan writes as if you’re sitting across from each other chatting over coffee and while he certainly hits some deep theological issues, he doesn’t write like a theologian but like someone who is wrestling and living this faith he talks about. I love this paragraph from the intro, which pretty much sums up the book:
“As we begin this book, may our desire to experience more of the Holy Spirit be our starting point. And may we open our hearts and lives to His presence and action more fully than we have ever done before. By the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit, may we be different people when we finish from when we started.”
Requiem by Lauren Oliver
I was so excited for the release of Requiem, the third book in the Delirium trilogy. In a world where love is considered a disease, the resistance to the “cure” is growing, and so is the violence and desperation of the government regulators who are trying to rid the world of Invalids. Written from the alternating perspectives of Lena (who is part of the resistance living in the Wilds) and her best friend Hana (who has been cured and is preparing for her wedding to the up-and-coming mayor), I loved most of this story, but I hated — hated — the ending, which left a million questions unanswered.
Love in a Broken Vessel by Mesu Adams
I almost feel bad writing a review of this book because I really think the issues I had with it were my own and not Mesu Adams’. Although I loved her storytelling and the emotion and detail she packed into the story, I just cannot seem to get into biblical fiction because I’m constantly evaluating the things that are said or that happen through a lens of, “Hmm, I wonder if that’s how it really happened?” Unlike the classic novel from Francine Rivers, Redeeming Love, which also tells the story of Hosea and Gomer set in a different time and place, I wasn’t able to suspend my disbelief enough to really lose myself in this story, which definitely took away from the experience.

5 Fun Ways to Display Collections
The following post is from Lisa of The Pennington Point:
source: The Pennington Point
I’ve been setting out all of my spring decor and redoing my shelves and surfaces. One of the things I love about changing things around is pulling together collections.
Sometimes we have a purposeful collection like vintage dolls or souvenir spoons. But often I will discover an accidental collection that I have. Like I realize I have 4 white pitchers or several old clocks and can enjoy putting them together for a season.
Here are 5 fun ways to display your collections.
1. Try something simple.
source: Joy’s Hope
A collection doesn’t have to be expensive or rare. Simple jars found anywhere (even empty sauce jars!) can be beautiful. These painted yellow and filled with wildflowers make a lovely display lined on a shelf or as a centerpiece.
2. Mix with other textures.
source: The Pennington Point
One of the difficulties of displaying a collection is that all of the pieces have the same texture. It can make a display look too one dimensional. I wanted to display my group of sand timers, but they seemed to disappear on the shelf because they are glass and all the same. So, I mixed them with other materials like wood and metal to make the timers pop.
3. Display on a ladder.
source: prettyhandygirl
This is a great alternative to a shelf. A collection of beach trinkets, toys or anything rustic would look darling on this ladder display.
4. Paint them to match.
source: The Pennington Point
I found a bunch of old trophies and thought they would be a fun thing to display. I spray painted them all white and clustered them on a chest…super cute!
5. Place inside a frame.
source: The Pennington Point
I’m a big fan of the large, empty frame. It’s a wonderful way to unify a small collection. I put my kids’ silhouettes in this one, but it would be adorable with plates, clocks, vintage postcards or even more empty frames!
I hope you’ll look around your house for some collections to display. Open your mind to anything you have three or more of. Bowls, books, keys, baskets, kids’ drawings, numbers, candles, toys, bottles, game pieces, even cereal boxes can be made into a cute display. The possibilities are endless!
Do you have any collections?
Lisa winds through her little Texas farm house every night, tucking in her nine homeschooled children and turning off lights. Then she scans the rooms & makes a mental list of what she wants to rearrange, restore or paint. Her husband of 26 years hangs on for the ride while she blogs about it over at The Pennington Point.

Weekend Reading: March 9, 2013
source: mandiehman on Instagram
We had just about given up hope of having any significant snowfall this winter (other than our beautiful White Christmas!), when we began to hear whispers of a March snowstorm that could make it into the history books.
As it turned out, we ended up with what could possibly be the best kind of snowstorm: 14″ of beautiful snow that showed up suddenly (after a 50 degree day, nonetheless!) and cleared out just as quickly. Although we lost power for 6 hours, the roads were clear and power was restored by evening.
It was a beautiful end to winter, and now we’re even more anxious for the arrival of spring!

Army Wives 7th Season Premier Brings BIG Changes
On Sunday, March 10, the hit series Army Wives returns to Lifetime for its seventh season. And things have changed dramatically. It’s time to say goodbye to a major cast member and to welcome some new faces to Fort Marshall.
Life Your Way got an exclusive “behind the scenes” look into this season to share with you! Bet you didn’t know…
Wendy Davis (who returns to the role of Joan Burton) is the complete opposite of Joan: “I am such a pushover as a mom…Last night I told my daughter to go to bed at 8:30, and at 10 she was still awake! Joan would never have that. Joan is very tunnel-visioned (sic) and I am not like that at all.” Did you know that Joan defied expectations and rose through the ranks, becoming Fort Marshall’s first African-American female lieutenant colonel — commanding more than 400 men?
Catherine Bell, back as Denise Sherwood, originally went to college to become a doctor: “I studied biomedical engineering until I discovered modeling. I am a tomboy…I love cars and motorcycles and extreme sports.” Did you know that Denise’s character started out very reserved and unsure of what she wanted to do in life? Over the past six seasons the character has grown dramatically, and Denise is now much more in line with Catherine’s personality.
Kelli Williams is reprising her role this season (Season 6 was her first!) as Jackie Clark. Kelli brings her experience of growing up in a very conservative household to her character: “I grew up going to country clubs…things that I don’t respond to in my life now but are totally Jackie…so to prepare for the role, I just amp up the pearl-wearing!” Did you know that the fans gave Kelli a tough time about her character, they didn’t trust her and didn’t think she was fair with Claudia Joy? Kelli says she’s the complete opposite of Jackie!
New to the cast this season is Torrey DeVitto as Maggie Hall. As we meet Maggie we will find that she, like lots of us, struggles to find herself. She left the Army to be a stay-at-home mom, and is having a difficult time with new roles in her life…mom to a blended family, wife to a new husband and a very different life at home compared with that of a soldier. To prepare for her new role, Torrey attended a day of Army physical training: “I didn’t want to tell the guys, but I had to leave early because I thought I was going to throw up…my body was begging me to stop. I have always had such respect for people in the service, and I always knew it was not easy. I was never so aware of how strong you need to be mentally and physically!”
In Season 7 of Army Wives, a new tribe emerges from the shadow of tragedy. Maintaining the enduring premise of Army Wives, the audience will witness a remarkable group of women – some familiar, some new – form friendships that see them through the challenges of Army life as their husbands serve at a dangerous outpost in Afghanistan. The new season premieres on Lifetime on Sunday, March 10 at 9/8c. In the meantime, catch up with the ladies and watch full episodes of last season online!

Reminder: Daylight Savings This Sunday + Other Seasonal Reminders
source: masatoshi_
Just a quick reminder that Daylight Savings begins this weekend, as we “spring forward” at 1:59 a.m. on Sunday, March 10th.
Unlike the fall time change, when we actually gain an hour, Daylight Savings means we lose an hour overnight, but gain an additional hour of light in the evening, which works for me as the warm weather approaches!
To minimize the effects of Daylight Savings changes, we usually start adjusting our kids’ sleep schedules 15 minutes at a time in the days leading up the official switch. Those incremental changes are a little easier on their bodies than a full hour at once!
Many people replace the batteries in their smoke detectors when they change their clocks (which is a great way to make sure you’re doing it regularly and avoid being woken up by a chirping detector in the middle of the night!).
Here is a list of additional activities you might consider with the time change as well:
Change the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors (and maybe your thermostat(s) as well).
Check medication expiration dates.
Restock your first aid kit.
Check and replace car lights as needed.
Swap seasonal clothes.
Switch the direction of your ceiling fans (for most people, this will be clockwise, but it can depend on the orientation of your blades, so test it to see which direction pushes air up to mix it without blowing directly on you).
Make biannual dentist appointments.
Practice a family fire drill.
Update your emergency kit.
Pull out and clean outdoor toys.
Start thinking about your spring garden.
What other seasonal activities would you add to the list?
