national emergency

I read the Natural News and Holistic Moms Network almost daily and I just had to post some things that stood out from the articles I read this morning:
* (Holistic Moms Network) President Obama has paved the road for the end of freedom and choice for parents (and others) in this country. Declaring the swine [...]

ridiculous

Ok, so I have to ask. Why does the natural/vaccine topic cause so much controversy? I mean, why can’t people just be respectful and say, you know what, you feel that way, I feel this way and that’s fine. It’s ridiculous because you see it everywhere. On message boards, both sides just bombard each other [...]

h1n1 (swine flu)

Sorry it took me so long to blog about our health, but I’m feeling much, much better now. :) It will be a long post! 
Well, as most of you know, we were all sick last week with the “swine flu.” We’re not sure how we got that but we do know Michael was the culprit, [...]

organ donor

Last night I was talking to a friend who was celebrating another year of life because two years ago, she received a new set of lungs. She called it her “Breathe Day”. I congratulated her of course, and I let her know that I’m an organ donor and that it’s because of people like her [...]

seeker friendly

The reason I first started this blog almost 2 years ago was to share my thoughts on a book I was reading at the time-Sex God by Rob Bell. For a while now, most of my posts have been about my family and though I love writing about them, I do miss sharing my personal [...]

busy

Ehhh…So I know I’ve been slacking lately. Big time! Mainly because of 2 reasons. One. Our internet connection at night goes crazy. Ah Embarq! And two. I’m reading 3 books at the same time.
But, I have much to blog about. Emmy’s 21 month update and Ella’s 5 month update. Videos, pictures, etc…
Posting a video today. [...]

Dinner with the gang

About two weeks ago, after my appt at the birth center, the friends got together at the Ibansan’s residence for dinner and to hang out. Now that we live in Estero, it’s kinda hard to get together. :( But no worries…We will hang out tonight for some bar-b-que, games, dutch blitz, cookies, and have a [...]

This side of things…

(This post is very personal to me. My personal experience and is not meant to offend anyone. Please. Those that know me well, know that I have a hard time sharing my hurts so this is a big step for me)
My years of being a Christian (not sure how long that’s been) have been very [...]

More on Vaccines

So last night I was doing some more research on natural living, holistic moms and vaccinations. Though Michael and I are convinced and set on NOT vaccinating our daughters, I like to read recent news and studies on them. I came across this group on facebook Vaccines: A license to kill and read some interesting facts. [...]

Postpartum check up

Well, it’s been three weeks since I gave birth to Ella and I have to say that I feel great. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. :)  Postpartum was a bit tough on me with Emery the first two weeks. I cried a lot, felt insecure, had sleep deprivation, etc…It was all so new to me. And [...]

My hectic day…

This may or may not interest you. But I had to write about my long, crazy, hectic, exhausting day. 
Oh my. This was my first day alone with the girls and I am exhausted. You see, I was spoiled for two weeks. Michael stayed with me the first week, then Naty and Bryan were with me [...]

Lilly’s Birthday

So last Friday, we went over to the Hindman’s residence to celebrate our friend Lilly’s birthday. And we had such a good time. We ate, sang “Happy Birthday”, she was overly excited about her new juicer, we made fun of her, and we played our newly obsession game  ”Quelf”.  Oh, and how could I forget [...]

Experiencing God

Last week, Michael, along with the staff at Summit church committed themselves to read Henry Blackaby’s “Experiencing God” book (revised and expanded version) together. 

During the meeting, it was suggested that the staff, along with their spouses, read the Experiencing God book as well. So I received my book some time last week. I was not [...]

He received a lot of positive feedback. And I’m really, really happy that Summit wants him more involved and see this [...]
