Mama Wolgemuth has gotten back into the Avon business. Right now there are some fantastic deals on her website...just in time for mother's day! And they're offering free shipping with orders of $30 or more. Check it out here.
As a Christian, wife, mother of a little girl and two fur-babies, Mississippi State Bulldog, and PhD, I lead a very busy life. If you add on top of that my obsession for organization and loves for couponing, sewing, knitting, cooking, reading, gardening, and a host of other random hobbies, you've got the recipe for...well...variety. And variety is the spice of life!

MrsDrPoe: Sloppy Joes
This What's for Dinner Wednesday, we're having one of Mr. Poe's favorite (non-Mexican) dishes...Sloppy Joe's.
Ingredients:1/4 pound of ground beef, 1/2 bell pepper, 1/8 onion, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/8 cup mustard, salt and pepper to taste, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chili powder.
Finely dice veggies and place in a medium saucepan with the ground beef. Cook over med-high heat until the veggies are tender and the meat is fully cooked (about 15 minutes):
Add remaining ingredients, and simmer over med-low heat to combine the flavors and to call your husband in from playing basketball (5-10 minutes).
Serve on a bun and enjoy!

MrsDrPoe: Mr. Gates
It's time for another edition of Poes' Pals! Today I'd like you all to meet a very special person, Mr. Gates:
We've known Mr. Gates for about a year, and in that time he has been such an encouragement to us! He truly lives for the Lord- a truth that is evident even during his most physically difficult times.
Despite spending his entire life with an extremely rare heart defect, this Temple grad has had his artwork shown in Rome, Berlin, and New York (to name a few). He has spent the past six months hospitalized in Florida waiting on a heart that will not be rejected by his body. During this long, painful period, however, he has spent a good deal of his time speaking to others in the hospital about the gospel.
Mr. Poe and I would encourage you to keep Mr. Gates and his family in your prayers. If you'd like to learn more about Mr. Gates, his condition, and what you can do to help, you may do so here.

MrsDrPoe: Building a Better Pie Crust
MrsDrPoe: Constantly Craving
The next book I would like to present to you for a Reading Review is another one that I received free from BookSneeze, "Constantly Craving: How to Make Sense of Always Wanting More" by Marilyn Meberg:
In this book, Meberg addresses several areas where people often crave more- romance, contentment, friendship, time, meaning, etc. She identifies with each situation by telling of her own experiences and suggests how universal these things are. Ultimately she also identifies humanity's cravings for various earthly things with actual craving for God and heaven.
I mildly enjoyed the book. I believe many inspirational quotes could be drawn from it, and parts are very encouraging to readers. The use of personal experiences made it seem like Meberg was sitting next to me giving advice; although, this technique also made the book drag in places. For anyone remotely familiar with Christianity, this book doesn't present anything new, but it does serve as a reminder that our "hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness."*
I would recommend this book to a reader looking for encouragement from such a reminder. However, I would also caution him/her that many of the views presented by Meberg are not consistent with those presented in the Bible.
*From the hymn My Hope is Built on Nothing Less.

MrsDrPoe: Sausage Sandwiches
What's for Dinner this Wednesday is a special treat that we only get when I come across a great deal on sausages...sausage sandwiches.
Ingredients: Sausages, 1/8 onion (sliced), 1/2 bell pepper (sliced), buns.
In a medium skillet over med-high heat, cook the sausages and sliced veggies until the onions are caramelized, meat is warm, and the peppers are softened (about 15 minutes).
Place the sausage in a bun and layer some cooked veggies over it and enjoy:
This time I found turkey sausage on sale...less fat but still pretty tasty!

MrsDrPoe: Mr. Morgan
It's time for another edition of Poes' Pals! Today I'd like to introduce you to another of our friends from the big city, Mr. Morgan:
A fantastic graphic designer, Mr. Morgan graduated from the Creative Circus in December and has since been working for several companies and organizations on various projects. His artistic talent, however, is not what he's best known for- it is his focus on spiritual things. While in school, Mr. Morgan frequently sacrificed sleep in order to attend and help with Bible studies, as well as to spend time encouraging others- things he continues to spend his time and efforts doing.
Mr. Poe and I appreciate Mr. Morgan's attitude and example so much, and we are so thankful to have him in our lives!

MrsDrPoe: Deals, 4/8
It's a rather slow Money Monday here at the blog. I don't plan on making any drugstore trips this week, but there is a fantastic deal on Ball Park franks at Kroger. They're on sale 2 8-packs/$4, and when you buy $10 you get $2 back in Kroger money. Not too shabby! Especially if you have some hungry basketball players to feed!
