Bragging about my three year old

After grocery shopping yesterday, I told Feistygirl that we were going to drive by a house that we may want to buy. She said, "Is it a red house?" I replied, "No, it's a white house." She said, "Like in Washington?"

I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.

Human Rights

Over the next few months I will be exploring what it truly means to have human rights. Before I begin my thoughts, I would love to hear from all of my readers. What do human rights mean to you? Do you feel that the same rights apply to everyone, regardless of who they are? Give me your gut level definition of what we are entitled to as humans. I'm looking forward to your comments with excitement! Peace to you all today. Hug your loved ones.

happy snow kids

Feistygirl and Funnyboy were so thrilled to have a week-long visit from Uncle Aaron and Aunt Stasia, who were absolutely devoted to the children the whole time.

Here's the munchkins playing in the snow with their beloved auntie and uncle on our lovely, quiet, wooded, dead-end, New Hampshire road.
Wasn't sure if the adults wanted to be pictured online...so...use your imaginations.



Funnyboy learning to catch snowflakes on his tongue. What a joyful time...so glad to have captured it.

Feminists for Life

If you're a happily voting, free-to-be you woman, take a moment and thank God for Susan B. Anthony. After you're through with that, take another moment and consider that not only was she pro-woman, she was also pro-child. Beginning in the womb. Check out this wonderful stuff for sale at Feminists for Life...especially the Susan B. Anthony quote on the mug.

I love their key phrase on the website - "There has to be a better way." We CAN be both pro-woman and pro-child.

something to think about...

"Strange, this love announced by our Lord turns all of life right. To love others is to fill our own empty spaces." - Thomas A. Becket c. 1118-1170

Our Girlie Scarecrow

Our wonderful friend, Shelley, created the bare bones of this awesome scarecrow, and Feistygirl and I glammed her up. She's wearing my clothes and after we'd dressed her, Feistygirl said, "She looks like a Mommy." I said, "Yeah, she looks like YOUR Mommy!" Kind of eerie how much she looks like me...

She is now up to her armpits in snowdrift. Poor thing. Feistygirl frets over her every time we go outside. She named her Lily after a favorite cousin.

New Year's Resolution

Mmmmkay.... I realize that New Year's Resolutions are entirely conventional. Yes, occasionally I do things just like everybody else! I don't always have to rock the boat....no, really, I don't!!

:)

I just think that resolutions should be about something FUN. No more of this losingweightgettingorganizedshavingmylegsmorelearninghowtochangemycarsoilstraightenupandflyright stuff. Hilaree's official New Year's Resolution is to.....

DO ART.

I also think they should be short. And rejuvenating.

What's yours?
