"The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it."
Okay Elanor Estes I can't love this book any more. A whopping fluffy five out of five birds for this short children's book. I can't tell you how many times in the past week I have said don't be a Peggy or a Maddie when the kids have started quarreling with each other. It stops... Continue Reading →
How are children and teens supposed to stay away from Cyber-Bullying when there are so many adults doing it. Today I ran across a link from KTVB about a woman who had been arrested. I don't care what she was arrested for, she did something wrong and the Boise Police Department are taking care of... Continue Reading →
I want to speak about a somewhat taboo topic, disabilities and mental handicaps. I want to introduce you to someone who I love dearly and consider my good "pal" as he would say it.

Today, while in church I was able to hear about the "behind the scenes" of an act of kindness... Continue Reading →

Since it is "hunting week" my mother and I went out to see a movie. Our first intention was to see Austenland, however we had missed the movie time. I looked up and saw that The Butler was playing, and we decided it would be a good one and it ended up being a heart... Continue Reading →
I was flipping through the Utah Statesman when I found this gem. If you have seen the actual movie PERKS of Being a Wallflower you will understand that it was kind of a curse. I thought it was a great movie, for a hipster...It was definitely a heart wrenching tale of a boy with a... Continue Reading →
