We Don’t Need No Thought Control

Warning: this post is long and ire filled. If you like political issues then read on. If you don’t let it be sufficient enough for you to read this: I’m sick of the government trying to force me to do things. From giving my money to others to volunteering. Get off my back and out [...]

Stability Through Transition

I’m busy being not such a SAHM right now.

Two kids
One business
One busy husband
Vacations
Social obligations
Oh yeah, we’re moving next week. So, everything that goes along with that.

We’ve tried for as long as we could to avoid the reality of the move. Granted a lot of it is done for us (the packing, the heavy lifting, the [...]

Lifting Up Serenity

I learned about Serenity about two weeks ago. There was a simple message in my inbox from a blog I subscribe to. It mentioned that a fellow blogger just learned that his daughter has leukemia. I went over to the blog and my heart has had a burden for this family ever since. Immediately I realized how I [...]

The Princesses Are Sexualizing My Daughter

Reagan has been “into” the Disney Princesses for years now. INTO them. She’s got reading books, coloring books, sticker books, puzzles, dress-up clothes, regular clothes, CDs, movies, toys, dolls, you name it she’s had one with a princess somewhere on it. We even went to Disney World in conjunction with her sixth birthday so she [...]

Train Up A Child… (Should we teach our children to fake drink?)

I read the blog, Teens Today With Vanessa VanPetten. The topics she writes on are pretty interesting and as a parent you can’t stay too informed.
Today her post was Teaching Your Teen How To Drink. Obviously that title is meant to draw your attention. And maybe shock you for a second or two. She proceeds [...]

What’s so Good about Good Friday?

Spring is in the air and we can’t wait to dive right in. The grass is starting to hint at it’s natural color. Robins are back searching the thawing earth for sustenance. The air seems lighter, the days are definitely lighter, and our moods, almost broken by the long winter, have begun to lighten as [...]

Velvet Jih@d*

Recently Tammy Bruce posted an article about Harvard allowing a women’s only time in their gym to accomodate Mu$lim women. I commented that no, it shouldn’t be allowed based solely on religion, but a time where only women could use the gym was not a bad thing in and of itself. I also made the point [...]

Dare to Question the Establishment?

Oooh, oooh, oooh!!! I can’t wait for this to come out. I want to be first in line to watch it. I have been an “anti-evolutionist” for years…for longer than I ever believed it. Though I’m not sure I really believed it even when it was being taught to me in school. At that age [...]

Losing my religion

I read a short article today that notes that people are changing their faith almost as quickly as they’re changing their underwear (my words, not the article’s). My guess is like everything else in our lives we’re also expecting quick fixes with our religions.
We expect our food to be fast; dramas in people’s lives crescendo and [...]

We interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast…

Ok, I had to post this because it was a God-sized intervention and I wanted to let you know. Previously I blogged about being turned down by a mom who does product reviews for her blog. After reading her post today I am now GLAD that that happened.
I continued to subscribe to her blog because every once in [...]
