CANCER CURED...

I bet we all can agree that when a cure for Cancer is found there will be lots of celebrations world wide!  I remember in high school my teacher said in only a couple years you will know someone who has or had cancer, sadly I never thought it would be my mother.  Whats worse is being able to count more and more people I know who have battled this disease! 

If you have followed my blog you have seen a post here or there especially in the month of October hearing about the loss of my mother due to her battle with leukemia.  

Ten years may have passed since her going home to Jesus party but the heart ache still is present.  This year my family is helping to make a difference.  We have formed team Bette Boop, thanks to my sister who started this team last year!  I am so proud of her efforts last year that it made me so eager to jump on board the team and get raising funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  

For more then 60 years, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has been solely focused on people with blood cancers. 

I want to keep my readers informed on my journey through fundraising and the emotional evening of the walk in September.  Please keep me in your prayers as I fund-raise and when I walk in the Light the Night Evening.  Please also keep praying for the scientists working on cures and for the current families going through this hardship.

If you would like to donate to this awesome cause please CLICK HERE.  Every little bit is greatly appreciated!!!  :)  Last year my daughter had a Lemonade stand and her profits were donated to the same cause... so yes every little bit is greatly appreciated!


For those of you who would rather mail a check, write the check out to Leukemia & Lymphoma society and please write April Flanigan in the memo line and mail the check to:

Please make a donation to support my participation in the Light The Night Walk and help save lives. Be sure to check my Web site frequently to see my progress, and thanks for your support!

WE MISS YOU MOM, we walk for you and so others do not have to suffer the pain we suffered.

Keep your eyes peeled as I will be making another blog post soon giving details on how your business large or small can get some advertising on my blog by making a donation!!!  :) :) Also, if you are a business and would like to donate a gift card for auction that would be greatly appreciated as well.  DETAILS SOON, but feel free to email me if you are interested praisesofawifeandmommy at gmail .com

I WALK IN HONOR OF MY MOM!!  I LOVE and MISS YOU!!!!!!!!

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
