Vaccination Exemption
my friend posted a great article about shot's for kids going to school. here it is http://storiesandsongs.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/vaccination-exemption/ educate yourself on shots to make the right decision for your family! the government is unable to make a good decision, so don't let them make it for your kids health!
having a girl...
is so different than the boys. she is really doing some fun girlie things lately! she has been pretending to do her make up, taking care of her little lambie or any baby she get's to see, putting on different shoes every few minutes and love's to brush her teeth and hair to be pretty! she has even developed quite a girlie little swagger to her walk. she is all girl from head to toe with her hair done, earrings in, skirt on and she loves it all. Likes to smell pretty flowers and it is one of her first words (flow for flower). Quite different than I thought she would be. If you have known me since I was little you would know that I would have given my right arm to be a boy.... literally I cut my hair short, refused to wear girl clothes and the whole nine yards! after having to BOYS I am welcoming the girlie things in life and enjoying her God given femininity.

To our Kherington Rosa
Born August 13th 2008 -Home in Heaven March 1st 2009Born one year ago today too short, too brief, I want more. We didn't get you long enough to celebrate your Birthday or watch you learn to walk. A 1st Birthday has so many things for us to look forward to. Instead today I am left feeling like I just wanted more...more time...more cuddles....more feedings....more of Kherington. Our family is going to the beach to remember you and the precious time we got with you. We will ALWAYS be different because we knew you....We will ALWAYS be different because we lost you. Colton, Clay and Isabel all called and sang Happy Birthday to you today. When they were done we all sat down and had a good cry and cried out to the Lord in prayer. It's so hard for us to comprehend death. We know you are with the KING of KINGS having more fun than we can imagine. The day we enter HIS presence will be so sweet and renewing, we know you will be there. We often feel like we are wondering down a path with no clear direction. the pain, the sorrow and grief... it all feels like to much. Then the Lord comes and shines HIS light on the His path for us. His Word is the only Comfort and hope we can find. Isiah 53:3 ..."that He was a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering"
Psalms 30:5 "The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter."

food additives
More than 3,000 food additives -- preservatives, flavorings, colors and other ingredients -- are added to foods in the United States. While each of these substances are legal to use, whether or not they are entirely safe for long-term consumption -- by themselves or in combination -- is a different story altogether.
And when you consider that 90 percent of the money Americans spend on food goes toward processed foods that are loaded with these additives, you get an idea of just how many toxins you may be polluting in your body with.
When foods are processed not only are valuable nutrients lost and fibers removed, but the texture, natural variation and flavors are lost also. After processing, what’s actually left behind is a bland, uninteresting “pseudo-food”
At this point, food manufacturers must add back in the nutrients, flavor, color and texture to processed foods in order to make them palatable, and this is why they become loaded with food additives.
Many Food Additives Increase Your Risk of Cancer
Nine of the 12 food additives listed above have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. These include:
1. Sodium Nitrate (also called Sodium Nitrite)
2. BHA and BHT
3. Propyl Gallate
4. Trans Fats
6. Aspartame
7. Acesulfame-K
8. Food Colorings (Blue 1, 2, Red 3, Green 3, Yellow 6)
9. Potassium Bromate
Please understand that these additives are in countless products from baked goods and chewing gum to chicken soup base, cereal, luncheon meats, vegetable oils and potato chips. If you eat a highly processed food diet, you are therefore potentially exposing yourself to cancer-causing toxins at every meal!

Aspartame!
Aspartame is the technical name for the brand names NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. It is one of the first generations of artificial sweeteners and is 180 times sweeter than sugar. It is also one of the most dangerous chemicals that should never have been allowed in food.
At the end of 2008, aspartame was found in over 6,000 products; everything from soft drinks to frozen desserts, yoghurt and chewable vitamins. Products containing aspartame are sold in over 100 countries and are consumed by over 250 million people worldwide.
Slick marketing of products containing aspartame by giants in the food industry -- especially marketing that sends the message it’s healthy to consume these products – have been brainwashing and lulling consumers into a false sense of security for decades.
Making matters worse, the very agencies that are supposed to protect you are vested in maintaining this deception. Loads of money and political careers are at stake here.
Today, there are some 10,000 documented reports of adverse reactions to aspartame, including death. But since it is estimated only about one percent of people who experience a reaction report it, it is safe to assume at least a million people have had a reaction to this chemical.
Migraines are by far the most frequently reported reaction. Other commonly reported symptoms of an aspartame reaction include:
change in vision
convulsions and seizures
sleep problems/insomnia
change in heart rate
hallucination
abdominal cramps/pain
memory loss
rash
nausea and vomiting
fatigue and weakness
dizziness/poor equilibrium
diarrhea
hives
joint pain
