FINDING JESUS: FAITH, FACT, FORGERY. Tune in March 1 on CNN to find out.

Who would you say is the most famous person in the last 2000 years? Jesus. He's influenced lives, churches, homes, politics, and the world. But where did he go after he died on the cross since the tomb was empty? A new series titled:  FINDING JESUS: FAITH, FACT, FORGERY premiers on Sunday March 1, 2015 at 9 PM EST/PT on CNN. Taking a look at Relics from Jesus's time on earth using state of the art techniques and archeology to answer questions of where did Jesus go? Did he leave without a trace or are there artifacts from his life? The first of the series looks at the Shroud of Turin. A shroud is a cloth, in this case the cloth that covered Jesus after he was hung on the cross to die. Turin is a city in Italy. The show highlights experts in their fields of science and technology to prove that the shroud is actually from Jesus. I have watched the first show in this series and I will say it is not for children to watch. There are some parts of such suffering and cruelty that I mys

Giveaway: New Purex® PowerShot Detergent! Are you ready to flip?

Laundry, wash, dirty clothing, or whatever term you use for- it's time to run the washing machine are part of my daily life. How about yours? I do an average of two loads of wash a day. When my kids were younger it was like 5 loads a day! That's a lot of laundry detergent to buy and lug home from the store. I am glad for the more concentrated laundry detergent since that means the bottle is not so heavy. It's enough work loading the washing machine then the dryer to have yet another big ole bottle to navigate measuring the right amount and not have a messy dripping bottle, right? I like this idea for a liquid laundry detergent: Flip. Dose. Done. No Measuring No Guesswork No Mess So, what's this new product???  It's new! It's    Purex® PowerShot   detergent. It's available in Mountain Breeze and Natural Elements Linen & Lillies It's Super Concentrated with 50% more stain fighting power in every drip. It smells awesome and cleans awesome. It's pret

WILD original motion picture soundtrack is right on the trail.

Did you ever imagine a movie without the music? Music totally makes the movie, don't you think? Those songs are there to highlight the experience of watching the film. It's an emotional feeling, something to relate to, and perhaps give you something to ponder on about your own life.  WILD's original motion picture soundtrack offers many a song I grew up listening to like: Simon & Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound" and "If I Could". Songs that travel with the star of this film through her 1000 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail. Her 94 days of walking, hardship, joy, dangerous animals, and adventure on the trail, and as my husband often states to situations: "there's a song for that". True.  Reese Witherspoon plays author Cheryl Strayed's character in the film. Based on the book Cheryl wrote from her life experiences and time on the trail. It's about a mother and daughter relationship, and a relationship with herself, how she got to

McFARLAND, USA  Rated PG Opens in theaters February 20, 2015 #McFarland, USA join the social relay race for a chance to win $2,500 and other prizes! Based on the 1987 true story, “McFarland, USA” follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school, with whom they ultimately bond to build not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well. Well, I can tell you I ran all through high school and college-even though I don't look like that skinny runner I once was, I did.

Our girls cross-country team was new the first year I joined so we really bonded, as they did in McFarland USA,

Book giveaway: NOURISHED, A search for Health, Happiness, and a FullNight's Sleep.

One particular day in the Fall of 2009, I sat down at our Kitchen Table with my laptop and said to my husband I want to start a blog. He asked what was I going to write about. I sat there and looked at our kitchen table and said-all this stuff on the table, and so the blog began. But what would I call the blog? There was a pile of newspapers/coupons/advertisements,school papers, recipes, mail,magazines,sunglasses, keys,books, and who knows what else buried in those piles on the table. I like to shop, I like to clip coupons, I like to find special offers, free samples, new products, and go to the mall. So, that's what I started to write about, all those piles of stuff on the table. That's also how I came up with the name for this blog- Kitchen Table.   I used to have a tablecloth for every season, so hence, I change the background with every season or holiday. It's sort of like this blog is my kitchen table where I write about life and stuff. Over the years of being homeroom

BLACK OR WHITE is in theaters now! What makes a family? Watch the trailer!

This film, Black or White is in theaters now!. It's cold and windy this week, so head to the theater and see it! Kevin Costner plays the grandfather to this little girl-Eloise. Her mother has passed and so has his wife. Grandfather is all alone raising her, but her other grandmother wants the child to live with her and maybe even the child's dad if he can get his act together. Looks like a good film and a family man role for Kevin Costner, he lives in a big house with tons of comforts, and the child's grandmother lives with less comforts of home. Who will Eloise live with? . #lovehasnocolor SYNOPSIS BLACK OR WHITE is the story of a grandfather (Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner) who is suddenly left to care for his beloved granddaughter.  When the little girl’s paternal grandmother (Academy Award® winner Octavia Spencer) seeks custody, a legal battle ensues that forces the families to confront their true feelings on race, forgiveness and understanding.  Anchored by a
