Why is Positive Thinking so Tough...
I think it's safe to say that we all could use a little more positive thinking in our life. Would you agree? Why are we so negetive? What's keeps bringing us down? I think it's time for a change. Let's wake up tomorrow with a positive thought. What drives you? What brings you up? What makes you happy?

I Love Being a Mom: Just Don't Ask Why
Written By: Dena Blizzard
Motherhood. It starts so lovely. There is a party with cake and favors and pink balloons. Then someone comes up with a dumb game about nursery rhymes or the colors of baby poop, and your closest family and friends “oooh” and “ahhh” over the sweetest little clothes you’ve ever seen. (Of course, they are only there because you went to their baby shower and they don’t want to be talked about at the next family reunion or office party. It’s called mommy payback, which is similar to the “eye for an eye” concept but it’s “a present for a present” thing. And we keep track.)Next comes childbirth, which is kind of gross but beautiful, and then…voila, you’re in the club. No fees, no by-laws and no training. The great thing about it is that there are books, magazines and blogs all dedicated to understanding motherhood. They talk about how to be a better mom, a less-guilty mom, a time-saving mom and mom with a tighter butt.
But where are the articles that explain being a mom? The ones that could translate what we really want and don’t want from life. I mean, there are millions of articles explaining the misconceptions of marriage but where are the ones that say it’s okay to not like making dinner every night until you die? Where does it say that it’s okay to not find your life’s meaning or purpose in doing three loads of laundry a day and loading dish after dish into the never-ending water box next to your sin?
I want my kids to understand me. I want men to accept me. I love being a mother to my kids but that doesn’t mean I love serving them, that I yearn for them to soil clothing throughout the week for my big 10-load payoff by the weekend, or that I secretly love putting them to bed while screaming “teeth, pajamas and bedtime!” at the top of my lungs for an hour while I toil over the carnage left from dinner.

Here's an article from http://www.healthychild.com/.
Kids are Vitamin D Deficient Not Vaccine Deficient
It's exciting to see scientific research confirming what I've believed all along - that our natural environment gives us everything we need to live healthy lives. We are meant to co-exist with the constant circulation of bacteria and viruses in our environment because our extraordinary bodies are designed with a powerful innate immune function. We don't need to mess with this perfection using synthetic drugs and vaccines; we just need to better understand it and take steps to optimize this phenomenal potential.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial of school children shows vitamin D prevents the flu. They also found that asthmatic children on placebo had six times more asthma attacks than did children on vitamin D.

Our children's bodies have no inherent physiological requirement for repeated injections of live or killed viruses or bacteria mixed with toxic preservatives and adjuvants. They can live remarkably healthy lives without vaccines. But they cannot be healthy without adequate levels of naturally-occurring vitamin D.

Crib Mattresses??
The safety of mattresses? Organic mattresses? Really? Why are all our products that we buy in our regular stores full of toxins? It must be cheaper for the companies! Everything is about making money! When will this stop? When will companies stop making awful for us products? My thought is never, they are making too much money.

Health and Wellness
What are we eating? Is it food? What are we using in our homes? Is it safe? Is it healthy? What is it doing to our bodies? Is it harmful? Should everyone be eating organic foods? Should we be using natural based products?
Where can we find honest answers? Media? Doctors? The Internet? Generations before us?
Just some thoughts...
