My views on the Superbowl Half time show…

 Ok guys massive rant coming but I can’t help it I need to speak up and I am sure some of you won’t agree with me and that’s ok.

I was so dissapointed with the half time superbowl show, it’s insulting!

If I don’t want my husband to go to a strip club and be aroused by other women dancing half naked on a pole why in the world would I be ok with that on tv?

I get people who are their fan’s, fine go pay to see them in concerts, you know what you are paying for you have the choice (like people who payed to watch game of thrones) but for families and friends gathered together to be thrown that in their faces on a “family friendly” sports show?!

I feel sorry for so many guys who struggle with porn addiction and couples that struggle with that issue and here is culture rubbing it in their faces. I would be so mad for my son (if I had one) to be introduced to it in tv like that or my daughter to see that and think it’s ok.

Seems like women want to be empowered but the only way they think they can do that is by acting like men or being half naked sex objects?

And the sad thing other latinas praising saying “latina power” (and women in general saying “women power”)seriously? soooo you are not only ok but actually proud to keep the world’s idea that latinas (and women in general) are to be viewed as sex objects instead of smart, capable, dignified, talented women?

I’m not! As a latina and a woman I find it highly degrading.

The worst part is they are amazing artists they don’t need to be wearing a glorified swimsuit and explicit dancing to put on an amazing show even if it’s their “thing” they could have adapted to a wide range of audience including kids and it would have shown even more talent if they had been able to come up with something better vs going the easy way.

I think #pepsi and the #nfl should apologize .

our new obsession

I know I wrote "our" new obsession but let's be honest for a minute it's more "my" new obsession... dried flower bookmarks! Yes, I'm back to my school aged arts and craft years and loving it... honestly anything that can keep mama from falling into a depression stage because it's the end of Summer in the Pacific North West and that means we live in Mordor.  What do you mean? Well California, Oregon, and Washington catch on fire. This means we live in a depressing dreary constant gray existence, surrounded by smoke, we sometimes pretend is a hot fog that smells and play Christmas music. Because it's the Pacific North West and winter is gray,  another dreary gray existance but less depressing? The jury is still out on that but at least you can feel the cool crisp air and fill your lungs of pine beautiful clean air. We have not seen the sun in days and when we do is a Red ball, the moon was so eerie red last night kind of bea

Simple pleasures are the last healthy refuge in a complex world. Oscar Wilde I try to infuse my life with beauty and simple pleasures as much as I can.  Like my previous post where I talked about flowers by my kitchen sink add a touch of beauty and bring pleasure to a mundane and sometimes dreaded task. I think the world is just to full of yuck, hate, separation, stress, worries, pain, etc. And our home should be a refuge. A place where we can rest, breathe, find solace. When we are at home our souls should be at rest, or as much as possible, I don't think we'll ever be at rest until we're united with God like St Augustine writes in his confessions  “ You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You". But you get my point. One of the ways I like to infuse my home with beauty and make it comfortable to be in is by trying to always have baked goods for snacks.  Baking is something I find infused with pleasure from the moment I put

Rose Cake and some things I have been pondering lately...

Sunday was Mother's Day, oh what a complicated day.  So many women experience an incredible amount of emotions on that one day... the loss of a child, infertility, loss of a mother, oh so many things and triggers that can come up in this one day. My prayers go out to all women on this day, I've known the pain of infertility, of miscarriage, and of not having my own mother on this day. It can also bring up the attack society places on moms. The feeling of not enough, of seing motherhood as a waste of your talents, time, and the saddest one it being a burden.  But it is not, How magnificent it is that as women we get the gift to work hand in hand with God in creating and raising inmortal souls! As a mother your body has at some point held two souls inside of it at one time (or 3 if you had twins!) What a gift! Knowing that and how God gave you those little souls because He thinks you are the best person to raise them, with your shortcomings and flaws, with your gifts, and how we
