Web Wednesday #5

Typically, I've used Web Wednesday to highlight some fun stuff around the web.  Great resources, ideas, ways to entertain your kids/family... Like I said, fun stuff.

Today, I'm not feeling so "fun."  I'm not generally very political... I've already announced numerous times, that I'm Catholic.  Generally, I let people form whatever opinions of me they might with a lot of concern.  Today, I'm throwing my concern out the window.  If nothing else, your opinion of me today should include the idea, not that I'm the most Catholic person you know, but someone willing to stand up for what they believe... unashamed.  You can disagree with my opinion, I don't mind.  You can even decide you think I'm narrow-minded. I can't control what you think... but I do think you need to take a look at these:

• Bishop Earl Boyea of the Diocese of Lansing speaks out HHS Mandate
• Catholic Bishops speak out enmass about HHS Mandate
• Occupy Wall Street protesters accost Pro-Life protesters
• PepsiCo  and Kraft/Cadbury Adams continues it's contract with Synomex, using flavors developed using electively aborted fetal kidney cells
• Go here for a list of affected products

Yes, I have an opinion on abortion  and yes I have an opinion of the violation of freedom of religion.

There you have it... found around the web.

Web Wednesday #4

Okay peeps, I got a lot to do today... but if you're taking a break (like me)... here are some fun web finds.

• 3 Surprising Reasons to Give Up Soda... short and to the point article. 
• If you recall me saying, don't re-invent the wheel yesterday, you'll definitely want to check out FlyLady.net... especially the Launch Pad.  You can get yourself in gear and on track with just a little encourage ment.  BTW, today is Anti-Procrastination Day (as is every Wednesday).  What do you need to make finally tackle today?  [for me it's the leftover nasties in the fridge!]
• Upcycle some boxes into cute storage bins... because we have nothing else to do? [Credit Pinterest and Mandy's Krafty Exploits]

Have fun today... tackle those out of control corners in your house and ROCK it... because you're AWESOME!

Web Wednesday #3

I must confess... I love Subway Art.  LOVE IT!  I want to paint my hallway like the London Underground, put a big "Paddington Station" symbol up and hang inspirational Subway Art UP and DOWN the (10 ft) hallway.  

Chances of that happening are like zero!  In the interim, I've fallen into a bucket of pinterest and have these goodies to share. Chances of some of these making it to my walls... 99%!
