Southwestern Style Chicken Wraps {recipe} #inspiremydinner #CBias #spon

If you follow me on instagram you might of noticed that our family got a special delivery in the mail this past week from Tyson Foods. Yes, we had some yummy chicken delivered right to our front door. Now that was a first! :) We were able to sample Tyson Foods’ brand new line of marinated chicken breasts that will be available this coming week at Walmart. Yay!;)

I used some of the chicken to make these super easy & yummy Southwestern Style Chicken Wraps. This is a healthy & quick dinner recipe that your family will love.  Seriously, they were so delicious! #InspireMyDinner

I absolutely love blogging, and I feel so blessed with all the amazing bloggers I’ve met, opportunities that have come my way & how much my blog has grown over the past 2 years. I love sharing my own projects on my blog, and I love featuring all of YOU just as much or even more. When I look back over the past two years I feel that my link party has been one of the biggest things that has helped my blog grow, introduced me to many of you & allowed me to feature YOU. Sometimes I think link parties get a bad rap around blogland…some say that there are too many, too much work & too time consuming. Buuut I’m here to tell you that you can hold a stress-free, fun & successful link party! Here’s how! :)

Faith is Like a Little Seed {family activity}

Last week I was over at Jedi Craft Girl participating in the 14-day Walk with Christ. Amanda has 14 activities & topics to do with your family leading up until Easter. I was so happy to be participating in this, & I think it’s a great idea to do with your family so you all can focus on the real meaning of Easter. Amanda asked me to take day 4~ faith!
 
Faith is one the very first things you have to have as you grow your testimony of the Savior!  One of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon is Alma 32. In that chapter Alma compares faith to a little seed.  If we plant the seed of faith in our hearts & nurture it with making good choices, attending church, praying, reading our scriptures & so on then it will grow & become stronger.
