It's finally here

The other day I finally recieved my Warm Spirit catalog and I can hardly contain myself. I know! I know! I have no life,I'm getting excited about a catalog. Well, anyway, I was just flipping through the catalog and could not believe the array of products they offer.....there's the essentials(face creams,body lotions & shampoos).But they also sell pillows,candles,and even homeopathic remedies and so much more....I think they have a customer for life. Oh,I think I want some of that Heavenly Body Butter to moisturize my skin......sounds delicious too.....and it even has a little bit of chocolate in it...Oh my god, I will be delicious! Have any of you been truly excited about getting a catalog and what was it?

VA TECH

My prayers go out to everyone in Blacksburg,VA. This is a complete tragedy and I can't even began to fathom any of the students,faculty and parents emotions. Again, I just want to send out my prayers to everyone. All of America is with you at this time. I can't even continue,its just so sad,that anyone would terrorize a whole community,and I guess a nation in a sense.

-peace and blessings to everyone-

I'm Back....

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter,we did! We didn't color eggs and have a Easter egg hunt this year (too cold). We could have hidden the eggs in the house,but we decided to splurge(we're a $1 movie family usually),and take our kids to the movies(we spent $70). We saw Meet The Robinsons,which was a great movie! The graphics were great,the story was beautiful,this movie was off the chain!!!! Then we took the kids out to eat to celebrate Easter and to celebrate our 3 school aged children being on the Honor Roll. A great time was had by all. I hope your family had a wonderful Easter.

To Vaccinate or Not

When I had my first child ten years ago,the question of vaccinating wasn't even a question.As soon as my daughter was 2 months old she recieved here first shots,and the same went for her baby brother when he came along. As a young new parent back then,I couldn't even fathom the concept of not vaccinating my child. To me,parents who chose not to vaccinate or even partial vaccinations,were uneducated,irresponsible,quackish,conspiracy theorist parents.

Growing up as a child,my father always taught me to be proactive about my health.He was always into herbs and became very concious about his eating habits. At one time,he became a vegetarian. My mother on the other hand, didn't quite believe in a lot of my father's beliefs. She was more into conventional "medicine". Here I was, a young kid with two different perspectives in front of me;which one do I chose? I decided to choose my mother's view,even though,I was secretly fascinated with my dad's alternative views(many of them worked),it wasn't mainstream,so I couldn't possibly think alternative medicine really works.

As my family continued to grow,I became increasingly aware of what we were putting into and on our bodies(thanks dad,for a different perspective).I ate more organically,we stop drinking Kool-Aid(Oh No!),drank more water,ate less red meat and had atleast one vegetarian meal a week. This is when my husband and I came to the conclusion that after the birth of our third child,we would hold off on vaccinating until our child was 6 months old because of adverse side effects. So, when the time finally came to vaccinate,I took her to our local clinic(we were in between pediatricans),and heard a mouthful.The nurse noticed that at 6mos of age my little daughter was recieving her first vaccinations. She was highly upset with me,she asked,"Why did you wait so long?" So, I told her how my husband and I felt about the side effects and the maltiude of vaccines now. And of course, she felt we were irresponsible and uneducated parents. She went on this complete diatrabe about putting our child and other children at risk because my 6 month old was getting vaccinated so late (what the MMR vaccine only works if you get vaccinated only at 2 months).Man, I felt like snatching my baby up and leaving.But I decided to stay,an answered back....."What about autism and these vaccines? What about mercury in these vaccines? Of course, I was told by the nurse that there is no connection with vaccination and autism. HMMMM! Tell that to countless other families that I have met personally and read about. Oh yeah,lets not forget,that "ONLY" a small amount of mercury is in these vaccines.......Oh! Thanks,Doc for injecting "ONLY" a small amount of poison into my babies body,I feel so much better to know its only a small amount......Gimme a break!

Every medical professional always tell parents to get the facts and become informed,but do they really want us to become informed? Maybe, Maybe not. Do you think we are informed? I just don't know what to think. Don't get me wrong I am not pro or con on vaccinations,I'm for choice. Personally, I understand the need for some vaccines(Polio,I get),but a vaccine for the chickenpox,come on! Yes, about 100 people die each year from complications,but is it an epidemic,I think not! In my humble opinon this new mandatory HPV vaccine needs to be looked at seriously. HPV is an STD,so we need to look at other issues(food,hygenie,and sexual responsibility) with that. What do you think?

Get informed!Be proactive!
How many injections are we willing to give our children?
