The DL on Me...In Five Ways

Sooo, my friend Lindsey just did a blog post like this and tagged me to answer her questions!  Here goes.

Rules:
  1. Post the rules (that’d be these 5 things here.)
  2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post (below)
  3. Create at least 5 new question.  (Merp)
  4. Tag some peeps and link them to your post.
  5. Let em know they’ve been tagged!
The questions (dun, dun duuuuun):

1.  What is your favorite quote and why?
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." Eleanor Roosevelt
I think I like this so much because it can be so easy to get down on yourself for things and having negative opinions from others makes it so much easier. We have to remember we were created in the image of God and though we'll never be perfect, we're always who we're suppose to be!

2.  What will you be doing in five years?
What I would like to be doing in five years is having a craft business that would allow me to quit my job. I'm so not a desk job kind of person and I love being creative and making things for other people!

3.  What makes your soul happy, that makes you jump out of bed?  (haha cheesy!)
My child, my husband, my friends...and most of my family : ) I love the company of other people and am definitely not the kind of person that likes a ton of alone time. People inspire me, teach me, and make me a better person!

4.  What is the best party you've ever been to with details and why?
A lot of parties I went to before meeting Matt are a little hazy. My favorite party was his 30th birthday party. We found out I was pregnant that morning and announced it by putting a baby carriage in the grass of his football field cake. He had fun while we played a trivia game based on facts from the year he was born.

5.  If you had time to volunteer to help out an organization (or if you do already) which organization or cause would it be and how would you help them?
I really want to start helping the scleroderma research foundation as well as pulmonary hypertension research. The only things I can really do for them is raise money to help fund research grants and projects, so I've been trying to come up with fundraising ideas. My mom has both of these horrific diseases and there's not a lot of media or publicity for them.
Tag! You’re it!

1.  What is your idea of the perfect date and have you ever been on it?
2.  If you have a kid or kids, what's the funniest thing they've ever done...if not, what's the funniest thing you've seen someone else's kid do?
3.  What is your guilty pleasure and why?
4.  Who do you admire most and why?

    1. What is your idea of the perfect date and have you ever been on it?

    I guess my idea of the perfect date would be a really great movie (I love going to the movies) and dinner out. I would say that Craig (my sweet husband) and I had a perfect date a few weeks ago. We went and saw "The Vow" which was so incredibly awesome and then ate soup and sandwiches at Panera. The perfect part of it was talking together and laughing together. He's my favorite person to be with.


    2. If you have a kid or kids, what's the funniest thing they've ever done...if not, what's the funniest thing you've seen someone else's kid do?

    My kids crack me up all the time, but I will share a Gracie (my 10 year old) story with you. Gracie was around 2 at the time and our church was making a vast effort the memorize scripture. The one for that particular week was John 3:17. Well, Gracie had been warned that if she didn't get quiet and go to sleep she was going to get a spanking (yes, we spank). Needless to say she had trouble settling down, so I went in her room to administer her punishment. Much to my surprise as I start spanking her she started quoting 'For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world....' Lets just say she didn't really get much of a spanking.

    3. What is your guilty pleasure and why?

    Dove chocolate...need I explain why.

    4. Who do you admire most and why?

    I most admire Jesus because He gave everything for me knowing that I could never repay Him.

    5. What did you want to be when you grew up as a child? Are you doing it?

    When I was a child I always wanted to be a teacher and a momma. I was able to get my degree in education, and now I have the honor of staying at home with my children. I will forever be thankful to God and Craig for allowing me to do what I love.

Angry Mom

  I attended a tea party meeting Monday night to speak out against the real issues our kids are facing. I expected to be surrounded by many people with very different opinions and beliefs, but what I wasn’t expecting was to hear them talking about how masks and vaccines are still two of the challenges we’re facing. As a mom of two daughters in school, I’m tired of listening to groups claiming to care about children but doing nothing about the real problems our children are facing. The number one killer of our children is guns. Not books, not drag queens, but guns. Republicans are choosing to literally let our children die on this hill and continue watching them be murdered in schools across our country because you are more concerned with believing that your child will decide they are gay or trans and not do anything about the gun violence that is a real threat. Teachers are not indoctrinating your children. Teachers are trying to keep our children alive and hopefully help them learn an

The Evangelical Church

Image
                 The evangelical church is the downfall of America. While Christianity itself is on the decline, we have adopted too many of the “values” and “standards” of the American evangelical church. We’ve allowed too many laws and court decisions to be based on what evangelicals want. So many people were scared of a country run under Sharia law, but evangelical law is not much better.             Evangelicals have always used the Bible to mistreat and hate women and marginalized communities. Women have long been viewed as the “weaker vessel” and not allowed positions of authority and in some cases, not even allowed to speak in churches. Girls are taught, from a very young age, that they must remain pure for their future spouses or they’ll be damaged goods that no man could want. The hatred and violence towards drag queens and the LGBTQ community also directly stems from teachings of many churches. In many states, a rapist has more rights than the person they rape and men often

"Swim"

It amazes me how silly things my child does can really make me think about things. My mom planted a flower bed last week and put a fountain in it. The fountain has a large "basin" where the water collects. After church Sunday, we went to Mimi's house and she gave Anabeth a cabbage patch baby. After we ate lunch, some of the family went outside to help put up a shade. Anabeth decided to go with them and take her new baby. I saw Anabeth playing in the water...Mimi has a large beach ball type thing that connects to the hose and water comes out in multiple places...so when they asked if I'd seen my child, I said yes assuming that's what they were talking about. No, my child decided to take her baby by the feet, drop her into the "basin" of Mimi's fountain and tell her to swim. She proceeds to keep dunking her head first into the water over and over. This got me thinking about life. Since December, my life has been more of a roller coaster than normal and
