Things I Am Thinking About Lately

A systematic review of 51 studies involving 260,000 children age 6 to 23 months found
no evidence that the flu vaccine is any more effective than a placebo.

The Flu vaccines contain mercury

One report shows that people who received the flu vaccine each year for 3 to 5 years had a 10-fold greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease than people who did not have any flu shots.

Research shows that over-use of the flu-vaccine and drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can actually alter flu viruses and cause them to mutate into a more deadly strain.

  • I love Christmas movies
  • I love Christmas specials (Rudolph, Frosty, etc.) even more
  • For some reason I think watching Christmas specials on network channels is better than watching them on cable channels.
  • I am really sad that I can't ever go visit my family at Christmas because Michael works at a retail store and can't get time off during the holidays.
  • I really suck at crossword puzzles, except for celebrity ones. Also ere, ali, and a couple other words are used in almost every crossword puzzle.
  • It would be super awesome to have a White Christmas.
  • I really wish that VHS tapes were not basically obsolete.
  • I love that my house is decorated for Christmas.
  • I hope since Michael is getting off work late he will be willing to buy me some McDonald's.
  • I am apparently a terrible cook now. The last two things I cooked turned out fairly awful. Since I am making the turkey for Michael's family's Christmas Eve dinner I really hope I get back on track soon. But since I don't go to the event at least if it sucks I won't have to hear about it.
  • I had great Thanksgiving celebrations, and am very happy that Michael and I finally spent Thanksgiving together, although I doubt it will happen again for a long time.

    I like your new background/format. Took me a minute to realize I was at the right blog. Glad you are blogging again! We are sending out Christmas letter this year too, we didn't last year, but did the first two years we were married. I will have to mail you one!

    I try and change it up seasonally. Back when I used myspace I changed my profile like every five minutes! Glad you like it :)

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks bec...
