The Birth of Principled Thought

I’m not bragging with what’s about to follow but it’s amazing what your kids show you without even trying with the questions they ask? I pick my kids up during the week and take them out to Timmies on Thursdays. They have had three weather days this week, so I guess they have been watching The View, and my youngest now fourteen commented how Hillary’s daughter hasn’t bothered calling the conservative on the show when she’s called all the others, and then the conversation lead to a woman who voted for Hillary just because she’s a woman. Then my youngest daughter asked, “dad shouldn’t you vote on the person’s merits, and not because someone is a woman”. I had to stifle a halleluiah, and just smile (a rather big one) and say yes.

My daughters have made themselves very smart, and it’s a relief actually witnessing them think things through already in life (most of the time).

Down to Earth

Okay I have a confession to make, I found this blog how I can’t remember. It doesn’t really matter what does is I find it totally hilarious, real, and full of moments you can really wrap your mind around especially if you came from a down to earth, golden rule type of family like many of us did back in the day. When times where so much simpler.

The blog is called Confessions of a Pioneer Woman and if you need a little help seeing how to keep things simple and wholesome if that’s your cup of tea stop by and read it. It’s inspiring and a beautiful read, and her pictures are great.

Oh I’m enjoying her ongoing love story Black Heels and Tractor Wheels- nice to see how a woman can think of a Man.

If I had boys I’d make them read it.

Pre-date Propaganda


This will be hanging in my front entrance, no problems yet with "dicks with legs", but hey nothing wrong with being pre-emptive.

My oldest loves me..... really she does
