Dear Makers of Carmex...

I love your product. I love the click-sticks in particular. However...is there any possible way you can make it taste less like mold...particularly when mixed/in contact with anything edible? It would make your product much more enjoyable to use. :D

Sincerely, a loyal user.

About this blog...

I thought I might take a minute to post what this blog is...and what this blog isn't...this blog IS a place for me to share my opinions on anything and everything I want, a place for me to share stories of encouragement, enlightenment, love, life, and everything in between. It's a place for me to blog about my family, and what's going on with us. It's a place for me to post my thoughts, and worries, and just get things off my chest. It's a place for me to advocate for things that I believe in. I hope that you will enjoy reading the random things that I feel compelled to write and will return often! However, I may not always use spell check, i don't really care if I use proper grammar or not, and because I have lost my brain to pregnancy, I may not always use the exact word I was wanting to use, or that may be best fit. What this blog is NOT, is a place to bash me, or my opinions. They are just opinions, and much like I am entitled to mine, so are you entitled to yours. It is not a place where I will pretend to be an authority on things that I have no reason to be an authority on, such as without having extensive schooling, or having done extensive research on the topic. I will not attempt to force my views or beliefs on anyone or anything, though I do hope that maybe I might open the eyes of some close minded individuals. I really feel that part of God's calling for my life is to break down walls and misconceptions about the Christian religion. Oh, and that's another thing...if you're not Christian, GREAT, please come and read anyways, I don't judge you, just as I hope you don't judge me. I happen to believe in God the Father...if you believe in Buddha, that's your business, and your right. I won't get offended if you tell me Happy Hanukkah, so please don't get offended if I tell you Merry Christmas, or God Bless. That's about it, please subscribe, or follow me, or whatever it is you do, so you don't miss a post, and Have a wonderful day!

12 weeks pregnant...or so I thought...

Yes I'm huge, yes I know how big I am already, no I'm not having twins, at least that I know of, so please drop it. Not only am I not a small girl to begin with, this is my fourth pregnancy, so I think it's to be expected that my uterus is a little stretched, or at least knows what to do as soon as it is pregnant! LOL! Anyways, here's a few pics that I thought I was taking at 12 weeks, but after going to my appt, was more like almost 13 weeks...more will be coming at 16 weeks, and every four weeks until the last month, then weekly until I deliver. :D Enjoy...or at least don't point out how huge I am...

Days of Summer...

Although I know it's a little early, we had a very nice day about two weeks ago (yes I'm really late in posting this, if you know me, it's no surprise by now that I'm behind.) Anyways, it was a beautiful day, and it felt like summer, I believe it was a Sunday. The temperature was in the high 70's to low 80's all day, and it was just warm and sunny and beautiful. We decided to take a walk on the walking trail by our house that leads to a cute little park that the kids like (who am I kidding, they like any park that has a "SWIDE!!!!" "SWIDE MAMA!".) It is a nature type trail, with just beautiful surroundings almost the whole way. Jason picked me a really good smelling flower, and the kid saw some Geese, and goslings, and some dogs along the way (which made for some fun for us since we had our dogs with us!) After we were done walking, and playing at the park, and walking some more to get back to our vehicle, we did what we've done in summers past after our walks, and went to Dairy Queen. It was a sweet ending, to an already sweet day, and nothing can compete with seeing your 16 month old eat an ice cream cone for the first time! Hopefully many more days of Summer are ahead of us!
