A Surprise Meeting

August 31, 2010

The other day my husband attended an event in Abilene where VIPs were wined and dined and, of course, asked for money. No, my husband wasn’t a guest, he was working it!
His job was basically to small talk with the guests. To his surprise, one of the guests was someone he knew. The man was [...]

A Credible Source

August 30, 2010

I saw one of my best friends recently who completely shocked me by telling me she wants to have a homebirth. I was shocked because she’s never showed any signs of interest or belief in any aspect of my lifestyle. She scoffed when I got onto her for getting the HPV vaccine, along with [...]

When Q-tips are a Luxury

July 29, 2010

Today concludes my first week after quitting my 8 to 5 desk job. It was completely amazing. I’ve spent almost all day each day with my toddler twin boys and my husband, and I have already completed some projects that have been bugging me for months!

Stat Day! Stat Day!

June 30, 2010

It’s the last day of the month. And in my little blogging world, that’s always exciting. Why? I get to analyze my stats! Woohoo!

I haven’t written in a couple of weeks. And I think there is a very specific reason for that.

June 1, 2010

I spent my Memorial Day a little differently than most people in America. You see, Memorial Day kicks off a very special season for my mom and me: berry-picking season.

Chemicals in the News

May 19, 2010

It’s kinda sad when reading articles about chemicals in your food causing diseases actually makes you a little happy. Just a little.
Because it’s a sad thing that we allow this to happen. It’s even sadder that people are just now getting smart enough to realize facts that have been obvious to a small number of [...]

Changing My Mind…IN FAVOR of Drilling in America

May 15, 2010

I hadn’t felt a strong reaction to the Gulf oil spill until I started looking at the photos recently. Like many people, the reality only sank in when I physically saw the damage.
I’ve read articles about the hushed cries of the “Drill, Baby, Drill” Party and the various attacks on them. Now normally I would [...]

Breast Cancer Action and Pinkwashing

May 13, 2010

I have so many blog post ideas that constantly race through my head, that when I finally have time to sit and write one, it’s always a struggle to choose. Today I’ve chosen to brag on an organization that I’ve really fallen in love with.
The organization is Breast Cancer Action. They may not be as [...]
