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 :)

Manipulatives Monday GIVEAWAY from Mother Goose Time - closed

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

God Made You Just Right by Jill Roman Lord - A Review

Most of the books I review are for adults, but I got a chance to review God Made You Just Right, which is a board book.  From the back of the book: You're brilliantly created, and there's no one else like you!  With simple, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, this book is a welcome reminder for little ones that God created each of us in just the right way. I love the artwork, it is colorful and engaging, which should catch the attention of small children, but still nice to look at for adults.  The text is encouraging and has a good rhyme pattern, which I always appreciate in books for small children.  It isn't a story, but poetry telling children that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created each part of each person.  I love that it talks about the things you uniquely need to be able to fulfill God's plan for you. At the end of the book is Jeremiah 29:11, which gives scriptural support to the rest of the book.  My only...
