A brief step away from the drama :)

Taking a brief moment away from the drama of this world -to show you what I have been up to this last week!
So we moved five months ago -the same day that I went into labor with our second baby-and I have been seriously meaning to paint our kitchen cabinets-they needed a makeover!
Of course the every day demands of being a momma can prevent this from occurring! So during naps and a few late nights-with wine in hand and a paintbrush in the other -I got the job done! 🙂
(almost….I still have a few spots left but that majority of it is in the bag!)
I won’t lie though…this was a pain in my arse!
I used Annie Sloan’s “old white” (2 coats) chalk paint-amazing!
I used Annie Sloan’s clear wax (2 coats) to finish and then antiqued with Annie Sloan’s dark wax.
Now to painting the kitchen…..that can wait a week ……or make it two 🙂 
 
 

 

 

 

 

Let that Life have the CHOICE of Life

I am disturbed. I saw this on a link today and I was left speechless for a moment-which is yes, I know…rare…..
So the president of Planned Parenthood, thinks women need abortions for Valentines day…no joke, this is for real. Went to her twitter page and it’s legit.
I want to know why anyone thinks this is okay…
Like….having an abortion is just like grabbing a box of chocolates or flowers…
I mean seriously…seriously???
This is disgusting and disturbing.
My right, my choice, my body….yada yada yada…

But you see this women “empowerment” stuff is not empowering at all…it ‘s crippling. This choice that so many women advocate for is concealing the truth of a life ended. A life the world will never know…

With all this false sense of “I am woman hear me roar” lurks truth and the forever what if…..
What if these lives that are taken so casually are world changers?
They could have developed the cure for cancer, the cure for aids, been president of the United States-one that unites and does not divide, solved world hunger, cured Alzheimer’s disease, saved a kid from a burning building, stopped a terrorist attack, or simply had a family and raised a couple of kids with their spouse and tasted pure love.
We have no clue what the lives that have been snuffed out in the womb would have been, could have been….
Cecile Richards the president of planned Parenthood suggested having an abortion is a typical everyday occurrence at a dr’s appointment, like getting a breast exam or pap smear…
Let’s be clear….this occurrence is a life ENDING procedure. This occurrence not only ends a life but it takes life from the world. A world that might have forever been altered by that life’s existence.
The life growing inside the sacred safe sanctuary of the womb…is a person, a life….and quite possibly a world changer.
Let that life have the CHOICE of LIFE.

Proud to be an American

Only 3 days until the open Ceremony for the 2104 Winter Olympics! I always have enjoyed watching the games-women’s figure skating is probably my favorite but I also love down hill skiing, the snowboarding, the freestyle skiing, and the ski jumping! Cheering for the USA is awesome….but apparently…according to Fort Collins High School -here in Colorado-it’s greatly frowned upon.
Yep…that’s right! A 16 year old Student Council member proposed “Merica Monday” –a day where students were encouraged to wear red, white and blue in support of our US athletes competing in the games. The request was denied. The reason….it might “offend” non-Americans who attend the school.
Reeeeeaaaaallly! Reallllly????….I mean….seriously….are you kidding me!!!????
Although Cinco De Mayo is excitedly celebrated at that same school….”Merica Monday” is offensive.
 I don’t even know how to respond to this….I really don’t. 
 What’s next…let’s ban the 4th of July!??
 I mean we have soldiers willing to die for us and we don’t want to sport our American colors because some might take offense!!!??? Ughhhh!
 We have become so terrified that we might insult someone in this country that we are literally afraid to stand for anything any more!
I can’t believe that Patriotism is now seen as taboo! Am I the only one that thinks this is crazy pants!!!??? Come on people!
Hey-I got news for those people who might be offended-This IS AMERICA and I am PROUD to be an AMERICAN! I’ll even go a step further….America has my heart! I love this country with all my heart and I am not ashamed to cheer and chant “USA,” proudly wave the American flag, loudly state the Pledge of Allegiance, or dress in red, white and blue!
 This country stands for Freedom and the ability to be free! If you are offended at freedom….well fyi….this country just might not be the best suite you…. mmmmkay!
 
(Update 4:55pm/mt : They are now allowing America Day at the school….so all hope is not lost! Geeez! ) 

A Conservative Momma’s Prayer in this crazy world

A Conservative Momma’s Prayer in this crazy world

God, how am I supposed to do this? How do I raise kids in a world that is running from you?
How do I explain things -that I learned at a much later age -to my children because society has shoved it’s agenda in their faces?
How do I protect their innocence as long as possible? How do I teach them to be leaders and not followers? How do I show them that not everyone gets a trophy in real life? How do I encourage them to not follow the crowd? How do I encourage them to stand up to the bully, and to cheer on the underdog? How do I give them the tools they need to stand strong and be bold in the midst of great adversity? How do I teach them to love people but not necessarily the sin that causes separation from you? How do I show them to speak up when everyone else is silent? How do I cheer for greatness, when average is what’s in? How do I inform them that they may walk alone, when they choose what’s right?

How do I do this?

God, I ask for your strength, your direction, your guidance-I cannot do this on my own-I need you like never before.
I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
In Jesus name- Amen.

Psalms 91 always provides me peace, this verse particularly-“He who dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”

‘Pro birth not Pro Life….’

‘Pro birth not Pro Life….’

I read this a little while ago and want to respond.

First off-it’s a life, even science will tell you it’s a life! If the heart is beating…(those that are reading this-guess what-your heart is beating and if it stops- you most likely are dead!!)

 
So I am pro LIFE. Just because a life is hidden behind a veil of skin does NOT make it less alive.

After I read this post I was looking at my almost 5month old daughter. As I put her into her pajamas for the night, she smiled and giggled-she has no clue why she’s happy but she was ALL smiles. She has been given life. She has the ability to do and be anything she wants to be-just months ago-I would have been allowed to take that from her according to those who are pro choice.
The ‘pro birth not pro life’ argument stemmed from the accusation that Pro Lifers do nothing to help the child once the child is born-implying that we don’t financially aid their survival. This is simply not true.
The Pro Lifers do tend to be anti-big unions, excess waste and less federal government invasion i.e (the Dept of Education) , and teacher’s unions (the majority of the money goes to Administrators and not the students -just so you know)

 
Test scores, the success rates of students post graduation, and our ranking worldwide have dropped tremendously since the Dept of Education was founded in 1980. So what are they doing with the billions of dollars they receive each year? ????!!!! It’s a money pit! But you see…it “sounds” warm and fuzzy doesn’t it “the dept of education” it does do great in campaigning. Campaigning…that’s right…it’s not about the kids at all really(if it were, we’d be leading academically in every category worldwide)-but shoot whatever wins elections eh! Hmmmm, if I am correct we were pretty strong competitors worldwide before this Dept was formed, but hey…average is trending so I guess it’s ok…. 
The fact that we believe children are individuals and can’t be categorized, put in a box, or learn under ONE mass curricula does not makes us anti child!
The fact that we are Pro School choice means that we believe that children should be able to go to a school that best suites their needs.
The fact that we want teachers to teach because they love teaching and are not in the field because they are tenured makes us pro child!
The fact that we expect schools to excel -and kids STAY and we believe if the school does not excel that the kids find a better school -makes us pro child!
So before ya rattle off something that is cliche and seriously over played by the liberal left ….think…that’s right, think or better yet…tap into that heart of yours…the one that started beating 18 days after you were conceived. 

You know, I am truly amazed that Pro Choice advocates are all about the ability to CHOOSE but what about the unborn’s right to CHOOSE??? Please clarify me on this will you?
