Bloggers,take a moment to check out Sassafras Enterprises !Shop for home and kids.
Sassafras History
Like many small businesses, Sassafras started out of the home. Back in 1977, the company was born with the introduction of a Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza Kit. This kit was the first one for pizza marketed directly to the consumer. Before that time, if one made pizza at home, they had to use a cake pan! This humble product sowed the seeds for what would become a company dedicated to the development of innovative, well-designed products for the home, with an emphasis on kids.

Currently we have the best selection of kids baking products on the market. This category began with the Kids Pizza Making Kit. Now, Sassafras offers a wide range of baking kits as well as softgoods, tool kits and a silicone baking kit. All of our food products are gourmet-quality and U.S. made with an emphasis on great taste and ease of preparation. We believe strongly that there is a resurgence in home cooking and kids are leading the way!

Tuesday's Ramblings /Contest around Blogville!

Ok enough already on the politics!This has totally went insane this year.Back to back commercials of everybody putting everyone else through the grinder.Makes me realize that no matter who we get,they are probably nuts!
I am glad to see the gas prices going down,maybe groceries will follow,but that is still a long way from beginning to fix this mess the whole world it seems is in,But it is a little positive note and i think we all needed that.Just don't fool your selves into thinking this is ending,no ,far from it i am afraid.But it is a little break maybe where we can all take a moment to reevaluate what we can do different.There is way's to save money.We must all begin to live within our mean's.What does it matter if we have a bigger house than the neighbors if we are having to take heart medicine to survive the stress it is causing worrying where we are going to continue getting the money to afford it?What does it matter if little Johnny and Suzie have top brand expensive clothing if you had to take a credit card to buy them with?What are we really teaching them?Come on people this is a HUGE wake up call for all of us.

BY THE WAY...HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY RITA...LOVE YOU...

Crows Never Forget
Ever wonder about avian (bird) intelligence? Different birds are smart in different ways. Some birds are really good at recognizing danger or food sources, and remembering them. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's resident crow expert, Kevin McGowan is quoted in this New York Times article entitled Friend or Foe? Crows Never Forget a Face, It Seems Crows remember him and either follow him because they remember he gave them food or protest his presence with alarm calls because they remember he climbed their tree and looked into their nest; maybe even measured and recorded other information about their nestlings.

How to Win a Free Vestal Rosewood Watch!!! go to style crave...
Vestal’s Rosewood watch is available in three veneers: rosewood, maple or ebony (shown above, respectively). As Vestal explains it, this watch was “born from staring at a fret board for three hours”. Any guitar player will recognize that inspiration right away, as the Rosewood watch has the same look and feel that a guitar’s fret board would. Kudos to Vestal for the concept… now we want to get one on our wrist.

Sarah Palin Rocks! Our girls need more role models like her!!! sweeps tooo.

Happy Friday readers...
Did you see the debate??NO...say it ain't so ,Joe!!! lol...If you missed it, you missed the debate of the century.A lot of people had already deemed Mrs.Sarah a failure before she ever hit the stage and boy did they underestimate her.She took the stage and made it her living room with all of us as her guest!I almost expected her to offer cookies..She rules people...I don't care what affiliation you are for,republican or democrat..She is good, and she makes you believe she means every word she says ..I think she does.I think she truly loves America and it's people.I think she loves her job and loves God.This is truly a LADY whom is beautiful inside and out.A Mom who puts family above everything,and still is a success at her job.I am sure the feminist hate her,lol..I think she is more of a Lady than any i have saw in charge in a very long time.And hats off to her for not aborting ''her down syndrome problem''!Most women now abort their precious babies when they find this out and help the abortionist get richer and richer.But not Gov. Palin.And did you see him last night? He is such a beautiful child,i know she is proud of him...i borrowed this line from onenewsnow.com,but i loved it.''Imagine her as a role model for millions upon millions of young girls around the world.Imagine those young girls embracing life over death on the abortion issue''.
I see a lot of young girls imitating all the women out there and it really scares me.The lady i saw last night would and can be a wonderful role model for all our girls!She was dignified,smart,down home,loyal,family oriented,non judgemental but with no swaying.She says what she means and means what she says!Oh people,how we need the McCain/Palin pair in Washington.We need some new hero's,these 2 i think can be just that.
Everyone is demanding change,and as we should.But if change comes without morals ,values,structure,freedom,honesty,familiarity,God given rights,Godly rulings,respect,Charity,hope,fulfillment of dreams,education ,dependability,security and faith,Then exactly what do we have.MORE OF THE SAME OBAMA!!!this should be their slogan,not their darts...
Look people,it is like this.Whether you wish to acknowledge it or not.We HAVE to bring back respect,morals ,values and God or we are DONE...I am afraid a lot of wrath is coming our way if not.A door has been shown,with the names of McCain/Palin on it.This is our chance,,Open it and allow them to CHANGE the America we love into what it was suppose to be.A nation that stood for democracy,freedom,faith,respect and Godly morals.It was founded on that.It thrived on that.The generation coming now has not gotten to see much of that.And look at the shape we are in.I agree that we should not be judgemental on anyone,we respect each others way of life.But it does not mean that we have to change to meet that.I believe gay relationships should be able to be with each other any time they want to be,if they want to live together and be in love and happy,GREAT.but that does not mean that i think our marriage meaning in this country of a marriage being between a man and a woman should change.
It is great to see all the different nationalities we have in America,But that does not mean Americans should have to learn a new language to understand them.They came to America looking for our freedoms,LEARN to speak Americas language,ENGLISH!!!!
I am a firm believer that if you want to come to America ,come on,BUT do it LEGALLY!!!!Go through the system and become Americans,not ALIENS....if you don't want to be American ,,,GO HOME!!!! you LEFT FOR A REASON SO WHY DO YOU WANT US TO BE LIKE WHERE U CAME FROM????
And ladies if you don't want to have a baby,make your CHOICE..DON'T HAVE SEX!!!!that was your choice.I do realize women are raped(have been myself,so i do understand!)
and sometimes become pregnant.under those circumstances,it hurts,it is hard,but why would you want to do to that baby the same thing that was done to you?Give it no choice...If you really do not want the baby ,there are lots of good men and women who would love to have a family but due to reasons beyond their control,they can't.Do you realize how angry you make these people?They want to have so badly what you destroy,PAINFULLY i may add...Give the baby to them!Give it a choice...to live and be able to have hugs and good night kisses,to grow and laugh and make friends...maybe even be your friend one day!!! ;)
If you want an abortion,fine..BUT don't expect us pro lifers to sit by and not try to give that baby a choice too...You take away from another to get what you want!It is wrong,no other way to look at it.It is taking the life of a baby.........
People i will quit rambling for now,But please go and vote.Drive someone that does not have a way and let them vote. This is not a time to sit back and hope someone else does your job,VOTE!Men and women have given their lives through the years for America ,one of those things worth fighting for is our right to exercise our beliefs,VOTE,,,It is important now more than ever before.If we don't do it now,someone else will be doing it soon.Pray hard people,do the right thing.
We must make a stand..
One voice...
One vote...
McCain/Paulin....


May God Bless America Again.....

Hope your weekend went as well.Of course the economic view is still bleak,i have faith it will all work out,and it will one way or the other.I hope you are making plans to vote this year.It is very critical we get some people voted in that will get our country back on track.My opinion that is McCain....

Here are a few sweeps and fun things to do!!!!
ONE PROJECT CLOSER
Before i sign out i want to mention a contest most anyone reading this would be interested in!A contest to win A complete Mosquito 86 McCulloch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Blower kit...Those pesky mosquito's are everywhere and oh the problems they carry.We live out in the country with a creek and a bog right down the road.So for us it is a fight in the evenings to keep from getting ''eaten up''.We lost a horse to mosquito bites a couple years ago,(even after having his shots) and i did a lot of research into mosquitos when that happened.People did you know you can die from mosquito bites??? I have several grandsons that i have here regularly, i do not like to use deet a lot so i have discovered that plain dryer sheets mask the smell of humans and you will not get bitten and they are safe to use.BUT.....if i had one of these Mosquito 86 McCulloch 25cc 2-Cycle Gas Blower kitS.....MOSQUITOS DEAD!!!! sO RUN OVER TO oNEpROJECTcLOSER
And sign up for your chance to win...But this one i'd love to win ..would be great for all the times the babies are over AND what a product to review!...good luck everyone!

2008,Right around the corner now.I reflect on year's past,mistakes made and accomplisments finished.Dissapointments and tear's,achievements and laughter.New additions in the family and new one's one way for 2008.As well as the new one's that would have been but never made it.These little one's in Heaven now ,i am left with a sorrowful heart that i never got to hold them .While at the same time glad they are with Jesus above now,laughing and having a great time awaiting the rest of us down here that have put our trust in Jesus.I am referring to abortion,not me ,but of another family member.The babies are my grandchildren that i didn't get too hold.I named him September ,the month i lost him.One day in Heaven i shall get too know him i am assured through my father.
For the past 11 months i have been raising our 2 grandsons ,Kolby age 2 full time and Billy ,age 5 ,split time with the other nanna.It has been difficult at times ,due to health problems i have as well as the other stress going on around me now,but i am glad this is the way it is .I know where my grandbabies are and they are fine.They have love,food,learning about Jesus and a home of their own.It has been an unplanned transistion of middle age becoming parent again,but it has been the most wonderful blessing i could have gotten .They are now my strength,They need me so i must stay strong for them.

Drugs as well have taken their toll on a family member.Meth is becoming ,or has become ,a destructive killer.It is very addictive to even the strongest wills if ever allowed into a person.If you do not want to be an addict,NEVER BEGIN!For over 5 years now meth has been an intruder in my family.Takes common sence and throws it all away until you are left with a demented picture of reality that only you,the addict,can comprehend.This reality is a mixture of paranoid dillusions,half truths,anger,rebellion taken as survival,health issues,and complete resentment of anyone who tries to help you ,even out of love.Anyone that tries to show the trueth to you is cut off,new friends or old one's with the same addictive personality ,are the only one's you will stay around.They make you feel better about the choices you have made instead of allowing you guilt and pain ..Two of the things that just may allow you to free yourself from this deadly foe.Friend please don't be confused...You do meth,Meth becomes you ...You are lost even to your own self and family.
Alcohol as well will steal you away.The same as with drugs,just cheaper to buy and readily available for your consumption.People usually begin drinking just for the fun of it.At parties and socials with your closest friends.Some begin drinking just too try and make it easier to deal with painful situations.This is the worse in my opinion.I have seen more lost to the addiction in this matter than any other.The more you hurt ,the more you drink.It does not make it easier really,just puts off the ineveitable chore of dealing with it.
Life is hard for most any of us anymore.When you have to be the person who lives or loves one or more of these addicts,it is ten times harder.You become the peacekeeper,the watcher shall we say.We must stand by and watch your life be eaten away day by day and seem helpless to stop it.While at the same time ,expecially if it is inside your home,babysit the situation constantly to keep it under control as much as possible.Tempers flare,patience is at it's lowest due to the same thing happening over and over with this person.Other's have ran out of patience for the excuses and the apologies that are unfelt any more.
Prayers have held you up until you yourself wonder''Are you there''? You know God is but you wonder why an answer has not come..Don't get me wrong,in my heart i know he is and it will happen at God's timing.But with our human nature we wonder...We Don't doubt,it just happens.
I wonder why my daughter can't see all that has happened and know why we can't just act like it is ok now anymore.Those days are over.She must stand up strongly and fix this mess,and it want work just by saying ''it want ever happen again''.
Rehabilitation of some kind must be taken,too ensure a greater chance of her complete recovery.She must make new friends instead of hanging on too the very one's that are just as weak as herself.She must learn too stand on her own two feet instead of needing a man there constantly,any man.These things she seems to be blinded by.The need for a life different than what she has had.I pray and hope for her.She is not a bad person,she can have one of the biggest ,given freely,hearts i have seen.But she has hidden it deep away,or rather drugs have.The results of the drug use are there,memory problems,easy to anger,confusion,resentment,blaming others for the problems and pain she has placed on us...No honest look at now.
Life has a way of making us look really deep inside ourselves.We can choose to learn from it by taking all the pain upon ourselves and trying to make sure this never happens again ,or we can choose to look for other reasons that this happened.Someone hurt us somewhere down the line,someone said mean words,took something from us.
You know that is where i have a probem with mental help .Most of them try and find out the REAL UNDERLYING REASON this HAD to happen to you.And thus making an excuse to the person for things being this way.From why you have destructive thooughts to inflicting pain on others.Instead of making that person realize they are in control of their future by the choice's they make ,they almost excuse it,thus making them empowered to do it again,simply because someone ,somewhere,in their past caused this.
''it's not their fault'' THEY SAY!!!!!!!!!!
I DISAGREE SO BADLY ON THIS.I have had some really bad things happen to me through my life.Rape,drugs,abuse-mental and physical over and over,theft,alcohol,much anything you can think of.DOES THAT EXCUSE ANYTHING I DO?????? NO ,NO,NO.
Can i use this as a learning tool? YES.
Anything that does not kill you can and will empower you for positive actions.The choice is your's to either become the victim and find more victims ,or be the one to overcome.I choose to live my life as full as i can.I try and help, not be the deciever of friends.I choose to trust God and allow him to help me grow and change my life.I choose to forgive pain instead of letting it eat me alive.I choose to love.
i CHOOSE TO LIVE..
I CHOOSE TO PRAY..
I AM THE WATCHER..

What will 2008 hold for me? What are my plans? Stay tuned for next blog>>>>

the opinionated parent contest
The Caboose is extremely easy to use and requires nothing other than itself and the diapers you have anyway. Invented by industrious American stay at home mom Suzy Smithson and produced right in her native USA (not China!), it consists of two hard plastic clam shells that fit together with any size and brand of disposable diaper tucked strategically under the rails.

The cleanup couldn’t be easier - just wipe, drop the wipe in the diaper, fold up the diaper and throw it away. I like to pre-load mine after cleaning so it’s all ready for the next time. So much better than some other models I’ve seen that use a transparent zip-lock bag which you then zip up and carry around until you find a garbage. Ew.

Another inspiring story of a mom with a vision who follows it through and makes the lives of other parents easier. I love it!
