Abortion Bill

As a Christian and mommy blogger I feel compelled to speak about this subject with my readers. I of course do not want to offend anyone with my views on the subject and am open to hear every ones opinion. I am a mother of five daughters and because I have been pregnant five times and delivered five living children I cant imagine what my life without them would be like. I look at each one of my girls and see how individual they are and can imagine what their roll may be in this world as they grow. In their eyes I see the life that God has given them and there are times that I feel that I can even see the souls. I use God because I do not believe we evolved from monkeys and or do I believe that the world exploded creating the earth. I believe that God is the creator of the world and life.
I am very emotional when it comes to speaking about life and God so I wanted to do a little research before I started rambling like a blubbering idiot. Hence the name of my blog "Mom Gone Witty." I have not been blessed with elegant public speaking and I am much better at expressing my thoughts and views in writing.
The first thing I looked up was the definition of Embryo: Meaning - a vertebrate at any stage of development prior to birth or hatching: from the Merrian-Webster dictionary

This is the definition I found for Embryo when I typed in 2009 definition of embryo: at dictionary.com

1.an animal in the earliest stages of its development in the uterus or the egg, specif., in humans, from conception to about the eighth week
2.an early or undeveloped stage of something
3.anything in such a stage

The reason for the definitions is to show how time has changed the thinking of humans. The definition of Human comes from the Latin word Homo sapiens meaning "wise man or knowing man." The question I have for human kind is " When did life become a right?"
When you look at the definition of Embryp as, "Anything in such a stage" what is that? What does anything mean and how did life become such a vague definition?

Women have been fighting for women's rights so that we can be equal to men and here we have more rights then men do. For instance, a man also played a roll in the conception of the unborn child but he does not have the right to decide if wants to be a father or not. Why? Because its the women's right to do with what she sees fit to her own body. But if the man decides he don't want the baby and he punches her in the stomach, he will be charged with manslaughter. How is that any different then having an abortion.
A women decides to have a baby and the baby is killed at the hands of someone else its murder, Why because she wants it? But if she don't want it and she goes to the doctor to have the doctor kill her baby its her right.
This is what I mean by, "How did the human race become so unwise.?" This is common sense but because over time we have changed morals to rights and individual thinking into a popular vote, we have stopped thinking for ourselves.

I know and you know that life begins at conception weather or not we define the unborn child as a embryo and or fetus. These two names do not change what life is and how it starts. Without the process of life from conception to embryo and then on to fetus, you and I would not be here.

Now with this proposed health bill making an abortion preventative care while taxing the American people makes no sense to anyone. This can not even make sense to the person who wrote it because the words "Preventative health care" means detecting conditions at an early stage and taking action to slow the progression.

How does an unborn child fit this criteria? Why don't they call it what it is and call it "Preventative life." There is no way to prevent life, its inevitable no matter what bill they propose and what we need to understand that the rights we have worked so hard will be gone with this bill.

If I as American do not support abortions I no longer have that choice. By making me pay for them they are taking away my rights and my freedom to decide what I stand behind. And with each abortion performed and supported by the money I pay, I will have that child's blood on my hands.

This is not a right and if I refuse to pay then what? If I refuse to pay because I morally do not believe in abortions then the government is forcing me to commit a sin. That is not freedom and even as a women I don't want any part of it.

Now, please remember when reading this that this is my opinion and I am not judging anyone who has had an abortion but instead using my right for freedom of speech while I still have it.

I cant express enough how this bill is not a right to any American but instead a step in the wrong direction. Instead of moving forward, helping out our neighbors and working as a team to make a better world we are moving into a direction where we as Americans are losing our rights.
If I cant chose weather or not I support life then what can I do.

I can not as a christian and a mother support this bill and nor will I be forced to pay for the death of a child. Regardless of women's rights, life is life and death is death. Murder is murder no matter which way you look at it and there are plenty of other options to prevent pregnancy.

I also watched Kennedy speak last night as the media tried to ask him what happened between him and the catholic church. His response was typical and I was more disgusted then anything, he as a politicion support this health bill but when asked what the catholic church thought about his decision, "He had no comment." This was a private matter between him and the church.
Seriously, This is a health plan for the American people but someone who supports it is ashamed to say what his church thinks about it.. There is something wrong with this bill if Kennedy supports it but is to ashamed to say publicly that his church also is against it.

I would love to hear what you think and whether or not you think we should be forced to pay for this bill.

Oh my its - A I see me Book review and Giveaway


Its A - I see me book review and giveaway..


I was so excited when I found out I was able to review this book and then host a giveaway. Yes, one reader will receive either the book pictured to the left or My Very Own Name personalized with your child's name. Most of my readers know that I have two daughters with Autism and Tori who will be turning 7 is the most severe of the two. Tori has me going from left to right, up and down nearly 24 hours a day and because she is constantly in trouble I needed a special way to let her know that no matter what, she is so very loved and special. Dealing with a child who has Autism can be emotionally draining to me but I cant imagine what it must feel like for her. When I came across the I see me personalized books, I knew that this was what I needed to get for Tori. The funny thing is that just the other day she came to me not knowing that she will be getting this book and said, " Look mom this book has my name in it. It was a book from my oldest daughter and it really did not have her name in it but because she thought it did, she was so happy.

I was so pleased when this book arrived and I read through the beautiful pages.. Have you ever got a book that you just loved and the smell of it made you never want to even crease the pages? Well if you are a book lover then you know what I mean and this book made me feel like that. It was so perfectly put together with a beautiful dedication on the first page, along with her name and the day she was born. This story starts of telling a tale of a special girl who's name is slowly spelled out on each page you flip finally building to the grand finally of your child's entire name. Your child is the special girl they are talking about and the greatest thing about this book, is your child sincerely feels special.

The Rama Warrior Meditation Chair Review


Zen By Design
Rama Warrior Meditation Chair


I know that all mothers have the hardest time relaxing and finding the time for ourselves is at the bottom of our list. I wanted to review this chair because I wanted to be able to create a time that was just for me. No kids, no husband and complete relaxation. Can a chair do that? I asked myself this question and I was completely amazed when I found the answer to be yes. But first let me say that there are a lot of products out there but there are few that are backed by honest, good people. The president of Zen by Design contacted me himself and what I found was an amazing man behind the scenes. He genuinely cared about me, what I wanted and that I was completely happy with the product. I told him that I wanted the micro swede fabric in chocolate with a light colored wood and that is what he did. This chair was made just for me and I couldn't be happier.
Let me tell you a little about the Rama Warrior Chair and why it works. This chair was specially designed for relaxation and complete body comfort. With the lumbar support placed in the precise spot at the small of the back creating an amazing sensation of comfort, balance and support. I know, how does a chair do that? Well, my husband is a manly man and he does not sit Criss Cross Applesauce "as my girls would say!" and I found him in our room sitting just like this on my new Rama Warrior chair. He said to me," I cant believe how comfortable this chair really is and how relaxed I actually feel sitting in it. The greatest feature of this chair is the tilting feature, it allows you to tilt the chair forward to create the perfect curve in your lumbar spine.Having stress in my lower back every day I sometimes feel like it could break in two, but this chair has relieved the stress to my lower back and the seat cushion is the perfect size for anyone. I actually sit comfortably on this seat with room to spare and I can not even begin to express the softness of this cushion, " Except my bottom does not get sore sitting in it for long periods of time." I think every mother should have one of these chairs! We as mothers forget that without our sanity we can not be good mothers. We need a little down time from crazy everyday issues that arise and spending time in this chair is the perfect way to do that. Even if its only twenty minutes a day, we need to find the time to relax and try to be stress free for our families. My daughter always says, "Dad may be the Head of the house but you are the neck and you can change the direction he turns his head." Isn't that true!! As much as our husbands would like to think that they are the strongest and the king of the house, without us mothers everything would fall apart. For those of you who are saying that you cant find twenty minutes because you work, they also have the Wandering Monk chair. This chair has all the features of the big chair, but its light weight and can fold up to take wherever you go. So now having a moment to yourself can be as easy as this and weigh less the five pounds. This chair is also designed for any body type up to 6'4" and can even be great for the kids on the go. Another thing I love about this company is that they use the highest quality of fabrics and wood when making these chairs. You can have your chair designed to fit your personality or lifestyle. I chose the micro fiber suede because I need durability with five kids but you can chose the silk in beautiful colors that will last a life time. Zen by Design has made me a happy mother of five and I know they can do the same for you.
I would love to hear back from my readers on what fabrics are your favorite and what you do to try and beat the stresses of being a mother.

To order your very own chair click on any highlighted Zen By Design or Click Here.
You will not be disappointed!!!

Oh My Its A - Baby Snuggle Blanky Review and Giveaway CLOSED


The Baby's Bundle
Gifts for the pampered baby and loving mother..



When this little snuggle blanket arrived in the mail I was in love. I needed this snuggle blanket for my new niece who is arriving in November but I found that I wanted to keep it for myself. Yes, I know this sounds odd because what would I do with it but this is the softest little blanky I have ever felt in my life. I wish I would have had one of these for my girls who had to have their blanket. This is the perfect size to keep around while keeping the blanket discreet.
The Baby's bundle is giving one of my readers a baby snuggle blanket to enjoy and the lucky winner will be able to choose which snuggle blanky they would like to have. I spent a long time in this store just looking at all the wonderful things they have to offer and pictured above is the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier that I came to love. What a wonderful concept, the Moby was designed to use the entire back and shoulders to carry the weight of the baby. The Baby's Bundle even has a mini Moby for the big sister or brother to Carry around his or her baby dolls, just like mommy promoting empathy and baby bonding. Since I am a wife of a military man I am partial to military friendly companies and The Baby's Bundle has
several items for the military baby.This baby blue Camo blanket is so adorable and I can only imagine how soft it is in person. If it is anything like the one I received then its bound to be as soft as a baby's bottom. I loved each and everyone of the designs found in this store and the service I received was above and beyond my expectations.The Baby's Bundle has a little for everyone and since I love this little snuggle, my own wish would be to have the adult Minki in the Zebra print with pink silk. Oh My this is a gotta have it moment and I want to have it. The one displayed to the left is the Cheetah pink but you can see how beautiful this blanket is and why I want it. The next picture is the Zebra print with the Pink in the baby blanket and either in adult or baby size this blanket is awesome. I can not express how soft these blankets are and how much you and your baby are gone to love them. The quality of these blankets are phenomenal and you can see that someone put extra effort to make these blankets turn out perfect. Another awesome product I found in this store is the Babe au Lait Yoko Nursing cover. How awesome is this, now you can discreetly feed your baby in public while keeping eye contact with baby and providing ventilation. This Nursing Cover was designed for the convenience of breastfeeding in public which we all know can be a huge hassle just trying to keep the blanket over our shoulder hoping not to expose ourselves. The cover is made of 100% cotton and has a terrycloth pocket for easy cleanup to store breast pads or binkys.This cover is large enough to cover mom and baby while providing other functions as a blanket, nursing cover or even a sun shade to protect baby's fragile skin from harmful uv rays. Amazing products!!!! I can go on for days about the products here at The Baby's Bundle but I will now send you over to the store to check it out for yourself. Be sure to check out everything and then come back and comment on the items you like most for your first mandatory entry.

We Love Colors Review


We love Colors...
I love this place and when I found this company I new I needed every pair of tights in every color and every style. I have five daughters as you all know and I love my girls to be unique and individuals. Since we live in a small town and shopping at unique places are far and few between, I needed something that made them different from everyone else. Maybe because when I was a child I was different, and I had to be the one that stood out in the crowed. I don't think much has changed..lol We love colors allows me to mix and match outfits and colors for my girls. They have every color and style imaginable from solids, stripes to splashes o
f color. I have two daughters that I call my free spirits, they like to dress in what makes them feel comfortable and nothing short of being fashionable. I wouldn't consider their clothing options to be fashionable but I just sit back and laugh at how unique their personalities really are and they show it in what they wear. My daughter Saylor who is five needs to layer everything, She wears jeans with her dresses.. I know that cant look good," right?" Well it doesn't look that bad and I just have to laugh because sometimes she wears plaid pants under a polka dot dress with striped socks. That's why this company works for our family so well. No matter what personality or style, We Love Colors has something for each of my girls. The best way to see what I am talking about is to head on over to We Love Colors and check it our for yourself. If you do end up buying something from them, please come back and comment for me. Thank you to We Love Colors for the wonderful tights and for allowing me to do this review for you,,

OhMY Its A - Homestead Company Review and Giveaway


The Homestead Company
Taking care of your skin as nature intended.
Melanie Nader who is the founder of The Homestead Company, graciously sent me her Foot Spa kit to try out and now is offering one of these sets to one lucky reader.
Melanie started this company because she needed products that she could trust and were safe for her children. A lot of products out there say that they are natural and organic but don't work to heal the skin. Melanie wanted to create a product that was not only good for your skin but actually works and so she did. I have tried a lot of products out there and have not yet found a product that has worked like this. I had my oldest daughter use these products on my feet and I fell in love. Don't worry I didn't make her wash my feet, she wanted too..lol She has all her own supplies to do manicures because she had her own business over the summer last year. So, first she massaged my feet with the all natural hand and foot scrub made of dead sea salt and raw Shea Butter. Then she scrubbed my feet with the pumice stone that comes on the brush inside the kit. After she felt she had completed the job, she rubbed my feet with the Peppermint and Eucalyptus lotion. These two scent's just go perfectly together and I felt relaxed and relieved even though three of the other girls needed to join in. Normally this would be one of those moments that you wished you were in a spa somewhere else but instead, each girl took either a hand or foot and massaged me with the lotion. So I added a few pics of my daughter giving me my foot spa treatment and finally giving me a french manicure. She is so good to me..
The way my feet felt when I was done made me feel young again. I have honestly not had my feet feel this soft in years. When I hit thirty years old I felt like it all went down hill, my skin became dryer, my toe nails became thicker and now heart burn kicks in every time I eat something spicy..ohh
The Homestead company also has so many more products that are fantastic for everyone in the family. From diaper rash cream to eczema cream.
Each one of these products are made with all natural oils and butters making these products different then anything else you will find on the shelf. When I visited The Homestead Company site I decided to read the testimonials from their customers and found that everyone loved the products and had such great results. I have added a few of the testimonials for each of the products.
Eczema oil:
“We are so thrilled with the eczema oil we purchased from you, it has really helped my daughters eczema like no other product we have tried before, thank you so much!”

Homestead baby products:

“My daughter has had diaper rash for 2 months, I have taken her to the doctor and put her on antibiotics, I have tried every cream out there, and after just 3 days of using your Baby Wipe Companion her rash is clear, thank you for making such a great product.”

Homestead Spa products:

My legs have been painfully dry and itchy for years, even to the extent of keeping me awake at night. I used a prescription lotion for a long time and no relief. Now that I have tried your peppermint foot lotion and my legs feel relieved and the dry skin is gone."

Melanie also being a mother wanted to be able to make a quality product that works and keep the prices affordable. Melanie is the exception to most companies out to make a dollar, she makes her products with the highest quality of ingredients while keeping the cost low so that everyone can afford to take care of there skin without breaking the pocket book. I was also completely impressed by the eczema testimonial that I went ahead and ordered it. My oldest daughter has awful eczema and with the satisfaction guarantee on this product I am certain it will do the job.
Buy these products: You can purchase any of the products I mentioned and more by visiting The Homestead Company at there web store http://www.homesteadcompany.com be sure to read their testimonials and check out all the products they have to offer

Now Win It: The Homestead Company is graciously giving one lucky reader a Foot Spa Kit including the Hand and Foot scrub made of Dead Sea Salt and Raw Shea Butter, the Peppermint/Eucalyptus Hand and Foot Lotion and the wooden handle brush and pumice. The complete kit for keeping your hands and feet soft all year long. So, for your first required Entry follow my blog and then head on over to The Homestead Company, then come back and comment letting me know what product(s) that you would love to try.

Soda Stream "Soda Maker" Giveaway
This has got to be to most amazing thing I have ever seen and I love this machine, giving it two thumbs up. It was so much fun and we felt like we were conducting a cool science project. I will never go back to buying soda in a can or bottle again. There is no need once you have this machine and the money you save will be worth it. Also knowing that we all would like to go green but love the convience of bottles, cans ect. This is the perfect way to play your part in saving the environment. I first took some pictures of how easy this was to accomplish making a bottle of soda and I must tell you what my youngest daughter Charlie said while taste testing. " She took a sip and seriously says, this is not so bad!" Which meant she loved it and drinking the entire cup was a dead giveaway that she really enjoyed the soda. Normally, I try and avoid my children drinking soda but since I can read and know the ingredients in these syrup it makes giving my children soda guilt free. This first picture is of my husband intensely reading the directions for placing the Co2 tank in the back and getting it prepared to make soda. He said to me, I hope your not taking pictures of me..LOL I did, sorry hunny. The installation was a snap and a lot easier then I though it would be. So now that the Co2 tank is in place and the back cover is replaced its time to make soda. Yes, that's right its not rocket science to put this machine together and as soon as the tank is in place and you have read the directions, you are ready to make soda. You then fill the bottle that comes with the machine with water and then place it into the machine, twisting it till it is secure. A few pumps of the Co2 and you have carbonated water, ready to add syrup. Once you add the syrup you can shake it a few times and PRESTO you have homemade soda at a fraction of the cost. The winner will receive everything included in the picture to the right. The winner will get the machine with Co2 tank, flavors, and reusable bottles. There is no need to worry about too much sugar, or aspartame because these products use Splenda and are Aspartame free.With all the health risk that come with artificial sweeteners like Aspartame its a wonderful weight lifted off my shoulders that I now have another choice to drinking diet soda. Also the non-diet soda flavors taste just the same as if you bought them in a store. You can ask my girls, I took a picture of them trying the Orange Soda and I got thumbs up all the way around except for the baby because she couldn't hold on to the cup with just one hand..lol When I was searching the soda stream site I checked out prices so that I can reorder when we get low and found that they also have water flavors. I love flavored water but I personally cant afford to buy it by the bottle from the store. So when I found that Soda Stream also makes flavors for your water, I was ecstatic. The water flavors come in a pack of three and makes 20 liters per bottle. That's 60 litters of sparkling, flavored water for $9.99, now that's a price I can afford and about a zillion bottles I didn't use by making it myself. The Soda flavors only cost $4.99 a bottle and make 50 servings of soda without the waste of bottles or cans and with all natural ingredients. This is now a permanent fixture on my counter and I will be a life long customer of soda stream. So head on over to Soda Stream and check out all of the amazing products they have to offer. I can not rave enough about this company and their products, so check it out for yourself. You can also read the ingredients that are in each soda flavor and average the cost you will save y making your soda and waters at home.

.Buy It: You can purchase this machine and any of the products I mentioned and more by visiting Soda Stream @ http://www.sodastreamusa.com

Oh My Its a - Dali Decal Review and Giveaway (Closed)

Win $25.00 - Oh My its a , Beautiful wall art Giveaway and Review By Dali Decals. I love Dali Decal's and this is why. When I started looking for wall art I found this one piece for around $15 dollars and when it arrived I was quite disappointed. It was only 10 inches by 10 inches and the worst part about this, is that I took off all my pictures to rearrange them around this fantastic piece of wall art. Don't get me wrong, it was nice but it was nothing compared to what I received from Dali Decals. I found so many fantastic and unique designs at Dali Decals, I began to design my girls room in my head. I could imagine how much fun they would have in a room with this wonderful wall art filling the walls. I myself am a very imaginative person and so when I come by something that catches my eye, the way Dali Decals did I cant help but start daydreaming about all the things I can do with these pieces. I also dealt with this wonderful women who took my request and got me the decal within days, she also remembered the conversation we had about what piece I wanted to try out. I had originally said that I wanted the Burgundy Live, Laugh Love decal but when I ordered, I ordered it in black. She remembered and then called until she got a hold of me to make sure that it was the correct color. It was the best customer service I had received in a long time. This picture shows the decal that I received and I could not be happier. It was exactly what I was looking for and so much more. This decal I placed above the window in my entry way and you can see just how big it really is. It is defiantly not 10 inches by 10 inches and the installation was a snap. It arrived on a sheet and all I had to do was cut the pieces so that I would have the words separated and then I peeled the decal and placed it on the wall where I wanted it. I then used the tool they supplied with the decal and rubbed the paper till I was sure it was on. 1,2 and 3.. That's it and I am not exaggerating when I say it looks as if I had a professional paint this on my wall, its that perfect.. I also found several more pieces I would love to have including these flowers. You will get 14 flowers that range from 12 to 40 inches in height making this a wonderful set to put on my girls wall. I love making my girls feel special and creating moments that they will remember forever and having these flowers would create such and imaginative place for them to be. Just imagine throwing in some lady bugs, butterflies, bumble bees, and clouds! It would be so amazing to create and again it is so simple and easy to place these exactly where you want them without the mess of painting. I also found these little penguins I absolutely love and placing them in my bathroom just near the bathtub would create a winter wonderland for my girls to imagine while playing in the bathtub. There is a reason this is called art and Art should be defined as things that make you happy through the eyes of someone Else's imagination. It allows you to create things you didn't think were possible, leaving you with a since of accomplishment. Here is a picture of the penguins and a tree I would love to have just behind my couch. The picture shows the tree behind a bed but when I saw this, I could imagine it behind my couch making it a visual point when you enter the living room. I can also imagine a corner fireplace glowing just to the side that's not blowing, adding a glow to the tree's bark. So now use your imagination and head on over to Dali Decal to see what kind of creations you could make using these decals. Dali Decals is giving 1 lucky reader a $25.00 Gift card to their online store, so head on over to Dali Decals and see all the other designs they have to offer. Dali Decals is also offering Mom Gone Witty readers $5.00 off their purchase with this code

Oh My Its A - Ann Loren Clothing Review and Giveaway (Closed)

My girls were the hit of the day in these fashionable outfits from Ann Loren by JE Designs. You would not believe how may times I got stopped so that someone could tell me how beautiful my girls were in these outfits. Ann Loren graciously sent me these beautiful outfits and is now giving one lucky reader the same opportunity. wanted to create unique Boutique clothing at affordable prices, so that is what they did. Ann Loren can keep their prices low because they design the clothing and deal directly with the manufacturer, leaving out the middle man. They keep each style in stock for 1-2 months and then the outfit retires making the outfit almost one of a kind. When browsing through the Ann Loren store, I found that I loved absolutely everything and wanted to buy it all. The unique design of this clothing gives this store the edge needed to keep me coming back and looking for more. I love my girls having clothing that I know no one else has and with these three outfits, they are sure to be unique Ann Loren by JE Designs. My girls are playing hide and seek with their older sister and as they counted I snapped this shot. Just look at the way these outfits stand out and if you new my girls, you would know that each one of these outfits matched their personality, skin tone and body type. Its amazing how Ann Loren new what designs would flatter little girls.. These outfits made my girls feel so special and beautiful, I couldn't get them to take them off when we got home. One thing I loved about the outfits, was that the designs were completely different. When you go to a store that comes out with a new line, they usually tend to be the same style or design just different colors or material. Not one of these outfits had similar characteristics, the pants were all different with different material, lengths and design. Each top had a unique style and fabric so I didn't feel like I just got the same outfit for each girls, just different colors or look. Another great feature about this clothing was that it was lightweight and comfortable. Not one of my girls asked to take off their clothes, which the little one usually would have asked that if she was uncomfortable. They played all day and were not restricted by the clothing what so ever, instead they played liked they had been playing in Tee shirts and shorts. This clothing line is absolutely amazing and worth every penny. I was completely satisfied with each style I received, the quality of the clothing and overall look. I couldn't be happier and know you will be just as happy as I am. So go on, head over to Ann Loren and check it out! Here are just a few styles you will see once you go check it out for yourself.
