I LOVE finding great products and I decided this year I'd round-up all the products I've recommended just in case you still need ideas for Christmas! ENJOY!
Why I'm raising my sons like daughters
Gloria Steinem recently posted her Christmas wish list. The list is fantastic, but one item really spoke to me as the mom of three boys.
“I’m glad we’ve begun to raise our daughters more like our sons – but it will never work until we raise our sons more like our daughters.”
The societal expectations placed upon little girls are far from perfect. Women are expected to beautiful and nice and never, ever bossy. However, we’ve come a very, very long way from the 1950’s when getting married and raising a family were the only real life goals presented to women.
I was raised to believe I could be whatever I wanted. I was praised for having big dreams in the traditionally male-dominated worlds of law and politics.
The same is not true of little boys today.
The EASIEST Winter Craft EVER!
Why arguing about guns on Facebook made me more patriotic
I’ve been arguing about guns on Facebook for basically 48 hours straight.
What I’ve noticed is that after all the statistics and info graphs - after all the stories and anecdotes and emotions - the two sides seem to represent two world views.
Pro gun control: I believe the government can do something that will improve the situation and I want to try. The world is scary and I want laws to help make it less so.
Anti gun control: I do not believe the government can do anything to help and will most likely make it worse. I feel unsafe as well but government interference makes me feel even less so and I’d rather just defend myself.
Look. Both sides are valid. Both sides are little bit right. After all, government is just a reflection of ourselves - both our best AND our worst. Government can’t fix everything, but it’s not going to ruin everything either.
What I’ve also heard a lot from those opposed to legislation is - the our country/world is getting worse and there’s nothing we can do about it.
Now, THAT I do not agree with.
Over 500,000 people have been killed by a gun since Heath
I've written before about my what happened to me that day.
When I think back to that day, I feel an immense amount of sadness. When I think of every day since that day, I feel an immense amount of rage.

Welcome back Dixie Chicks
The first time I heard "I Can Love You Better". I was riding home with a friend when it came on the radio and I asked who it was.
The Dixie Chicks.
The name. The sound. The unapologetic fun.
