Nash's First Birthday./
I was hired by my friend Jennifer to photograph a very special event this past weekend... her baby Nash's first birthday party! I love helping out my friends with photography and it was an honor to be asked to help her capture this important event in Nash's life.
Jenn had a Dr. Seuss theme for this party. The entire house was decked out with Dr. Seuss books, posters, and food! Check out the awesome green eggs and ham that the guests got to sample!
Nash was wearing some very cute Dr. Seuss clothes as well as the rest of the family. Each one besides Nash had a red Thing t-shirt. It was very cute of them to all get into the theme in such a fun way.
For entertainment, a magician came in to dazzle all the kids that attended the party. She came prepared with an assortment of tricks as well as balloons! Who doesn't like balloons?!?!?
Speaking of balloons, Nash seemed particularly interested in the large balloons near the fireplace. These weren't pre-planned shots, but they turned out perfect in capturing Nash's curiosity towards them. Sometimes it's just best to just watch and wait for those perfect moments!.
Moments between a mom and their child are precious, and since they grow up so fast it is very important to get those moments whenever possible!
I took quite a few cake smash photos, but this one was one of my favorites as it shows Nash going head first into his little cake. This cake didn't end up getting destroyed as Nash turned out to be a very gentle and polite eater. It was funny to see him pick off little bits of the cake one by one as he enjoyed it.
What a lovely family! Thanks to Jenn for having me come out today. I had a great time in the short while I was able to attend. Enjoy the photos!
Watch this video I also made of Nash's first birthday!

Breakfast – Bacon Eggs and Cucumbers
Lunch – Left over Chicken, Broccoli, Cauliflower Hot plate
Supper – Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
I absolutely love Sundays when I'm not working! We drive around, go see things get shopping done cook food, it's just a wonderful family day!
I didn't get much done in the sense of food prep today but I did make a super awesome Bolognese sauce from Practical Paleo. I was skeptical due to the small amount of ingredients, but sometimes the simplest recipes are the best! unfortunately I was too much in a hurry to take a photo of the bolognese! Just trust that it was amazing!
I have a family reunion in a couple of weeks and I keep thinking of all the foods I'll be missing out on – corn on the cob, Mexican salad, sandwiches etc. I know I have to focus on what I can have not what I'm missing out on and I need to redefine my relationship with food. It's in moments like family reunions that I notice where my bad food habits come from. I associate food with family and comfort. When we have a family gathering we make it about food. Although family is something I miss a lot being far away in the city, seeing people is what I should be looking forward to!

It didn't get as cold as was forecast, but it was still about 42 degrees this morning and clear as a bell. A beautiful mountain morning!
We had decided to drive up to Slumgullion Pass again and then to Lake City for lunch. Before leaving, I went for my morning walk and while out, I noticed that the mountain tops were covered with snow! I know that it was snow instead of ice from the rain yesterday, because I could see a couple of places where the snow was blowing. Ice would not have blown about like that.
I ran into our neighbor Mary while walking. She said that last night, one of the men in the park had been called out to assist the Search and Rescue volunteers in rescuing some elk hunters. One of the hunters had killed an elk and a bear had taken some of the elk carcass. She didn't know if anyone had been injured in the bear attack but I assume they had. She said that she and Bill had made a drive over to Lake City a few days ago and had noticed a sign for a small campground. One of her friends had gone over after they had and told her that there is now a sign indicating that the campground is closed due to a bear attack. I recently read about how dangerous bears now, as they hunt for as much food as they can find so they can hibernate for the winter.
We took the doggies with us because we didn't know how long we would be gone, and they enjoyed the ride. Of course, Cassie took her normal place in the back seat, alternating between the seat, which had been covered with a blanket, and her bed, which Momma Stella had brought along. Tramp stayed in the front seat and supervised my driving.
The trip over was beautiful, with lots and lots of golden leaves with the snowy peaks behind them. I can't wait to be somewhere with good wifi so I can share the photos with you.
We had a quick lunch at Poker Alice Pizza in Lake City. This is a fun little restaurant that we stop at just about every time we go to Lake City. We like to "snack" on appetizers when we go there, and today was no exception. We also enjoy people watching while there. We see everything from local craftsmen taking their lunch break to hikers and bikers who have chosen this place for their refreshment. When you're in the area, try it. The restaurant is for sale so if you're interested in owning a historic restaurant in a historic city, give them a call. Tell 'em I sent you if there is a referral fee.
So long.

Unless your establishment is built entirely of face brick, there are surfaces that need to be painted occasionally to ensure that your property is pleasing to guests.
- Always remember: You clean to paint, you do not paint to clean.
- Ensure that the surfaces to be painted are easily accessible. Remove all pictures, nails, hooks, curtain rails, light fittings and switch covers.
- Mask skirting boards with masking tape and cover floors with drop sheets.
- Ensure that the area to be painted is well ventilated and, where possible, open windows and doors.
- Warm, dry days are best for painting. Avoid painting when conditions are damp and the temperatures are below 10 degrees or above 35 degrees.
Very important
- Paint must not be thinned by adding water or solvents as this will result in colour variations and variations in paint film thickness.
- Always follow the manufacturers' directions on the can.
- Proper stirring of your paint prior to use is essential – at least 5 minutes is advised for correct colour consistency. Using a flat paddle, stir in alternating circular and lifting motions until the contents is thoroughly mixed. Continue stirring at regular intervals during the paint application.
- Where you have more than one tin of the same colour, mix the contents of all the tins together – this will ensure total colour consistency.
Surface preparation
- Surface preparation is the most important factor to ensure that the maximum lifespan of the paint is achieved. The quickest way to paint failure is improper surface preparation.
- Remember that a normal paint system consists of a primer, an undercoat and a finishing topcoat.
Choosing the correct paint
- Thought must be given to the QUALITY of the paint to be purchased. Consider the ultimate lifespan of the paint from a long term point of view, rather than choosing the cheapest paint available.
- PENNY WISE IS POUND FOOLISH – With an inferior quality paint you will end up painting more frequently and this will be more costly in the long run.
- Purchase the paint most suited to the surface you will be painting on – your stockist will give you the professional guidance you need.
Reasons to paint
- To increase your investment by improving the appearance of your property.
- A protective barrier – acidic elements in the atmosphere adversely affect both galvanised and cement roofing materials – Dulux Weatherguard alleviates such problems.
Problems on previously painted surfaces are often caused by the use of low quality paints and/or poor surface preparation.
Cracking & Flaking paint
- If cracking does not go down to the substrate surface, sand to smooth the edges of the cracks.
- Prime any bare spots and seal surface with Dulux Universal Undercoat to achieve a smooth surface for repainting.
- If cracking goes all the way down to the substrate, remove all the paint by scraping, sanding, using paint stripper or a heat gun, then fill with Fixit Crack Filler and allow to dry.
- Sand down to a smooth finish, prime correctly and repaint.
- Remove flaking paint with a scraper and a wire brush, fill areas with Fixit Crack Filler where necessary, smooth down with sandpaper, prime and repaint.
Mildew and mould on surface
To remove mildew and mould from walls and ceilings use Jik mixed 50% with water and apply. Wear appropriate protective equipment (goggles and gloves).
Peeling Paint
This is where a loss of paint occurs due to poor adhesion of previously applied paint. The problem can be solved by removing all peeling paint with a scraper or wire brush.
- Sand rough areas with a fine grit sand paper (120 – 150 grit).
- Prime bare substrate and repaint surface area.
Wrinkling paint
This is when paint forms a "skin" due to excessive paint being used on a surface.
- Scrape and sand the wrinkled surface to remove the excess paint.
- Repaint the surface using the appropriate Dulux paint finish.
- Ensure that the first coat or primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat.
- If conditions are extremely hot, cool or damp, allow extra time for paint to dry completely.
Removing old paint
To determine if a surface needs to have the paint removed make a series of small crosses in the paint using a sharp blade, apply adhesive tape over the area, press firmly then pull the tape off quickly. If the paint comes away from the surface, the paint needs to be removed.
- Paint can be removed by scraping, sanding or by using Fixit Paint Stripper. If using paint stripper, apply the paint stripper and wait until the paint wrinkles, then scrape off using a paint scraper.
- Only apply paint stripper in well ventilated areas and avoid excessive inhalation of the fumes.
- Remember to neutralise the surface with water and allow it to dry completely before applying the topcoat.
- Use safety goggles to protect your eyes from splashes and gloves for your hands.
- Splashes on skin must be washed off immediately.
Painting over old paint
If you do not need to remove the old paint, wash the surface to be painted with Fixit Sugar Soap solution to effectively remove all dirt, dust, grease and grime. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the area to dry completely.
- Fill all holes and cracks with Fixit Interior/ Exterior Crack Filler, allow to dry then sand the area using fine grit sandpaper until smooth.
- All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of contamination before painting to ensure good adhesion of the paint.
- Painting should usually occur from the top down.
Using a brush, cut around the edges then paint the remaining surface with the appropriate roller. Repeat.
Using a brush, cut around the edges, then apply paint with a roller. Repeat.
Use a fine-textured brush or sponge roller to apply undercoat and then topcoat.
Exterior Surfaces:
Paint roof surface, then eaves and verandas, walls, gutters and down pipes, windows and doors.
Preparing unpainted surfaces
Interior Timber:
Should be sanded until smooth. Sand along the grain to prevent any fibres from being raised. Remove all dust and dirt after sanding and then coat using Dulux Woodguard Wood Primer.
Plaster Board:
Ensure that all joints are smooth and dust free. Prime with Dulux Plaster Primer.
Painting with colours
- Take care when choosing colours – what looks good on a small colour swatch could be overpowering on a large surface.
- Bear in mind that colours can change in full light, and can also vary under different types of lighting both internally and externally. Colours can vary at sunrise and sunset and in shade.
Effective use of colours
Painting your establishment can dramatically enhance your guests' experience. The power of colours offers limitless opportunities for self-expression. The effective use of HIGH QUALITY paints and colours can enhance the overall value of one of your greatest assets – your property. Look at your favourite fabric, coloured glass bowl, paintings or any other household items of your choice in a new light – you could find the perfect colour scheme for any room in your home.
- Use of colour to raise the height of the ceiling – By using 3 shades of colour you can make your ceiling appear higher. Begin with the strongest colour low in the room, followed by the middle intensity colour for the walls, then use the palest colour for the ceiling.
- Use colour to highlight architectural features – You can make special features the centre of attention by using contrasting colours. Picture rails, skirting boards, cornices and arches can be painted in dominant colours that stand out from the rest of the room.
- Use colour to create warmth – To create a cosy atmosphere apply a red or orange colour rather than shades of blue, this will make the room feel and look warmer.
- Use colour to hide flaws – Together with thorough surface preparation, painting can be the easiest way to fix a flaw in a room. By painting the feature wall a darker shade of the same colour, your eye will be drawn away from problem areas.
- Use colour to increase the size of the room – A warm colour on the ceiling together with brighter colours on the walls will make the room look bigger.
- When painting ceilings or high walls, use a roller on an extension handle or a broomstick taped with masking tape to cover the full height of a wall in a single stroke. Recoat the roller and paint the adjoining areas in the same way. Ensure when joining the sections to roll from the dry area back into the wet area to avoid any lap marks.
- Using the right tools is essential. Rollers and brushes should be of the highest quality in order to achieve a high quality result.
- Use the right size brushes. Most work will require different size brushes: – A broad brush or corrugated roller should be used for galvanised sheeting or IBR sheeting on roofs. – A block brush should be used for cement tiles, fibre cement sheeting and granular cement tiles. – A new brush should be flicked vigorously on the edge of a table or across your fingers or any flat surface to remove any loose bristles from the brush. Dip the brush in water, remove excess water by flicking thoroughly before painting.
- Different size rollers are available and each is designed for varying paint formulation:
– Sponge rollers and mini foam rollers are available for specific applications.
– Mini rollers are ideal for gloss/enamel paints, wooden or metal surfaces to create an ultra-smooth finish.
– Flocked mini rollers are for use with water based enamels and wood varnishes.
- Surfaces must be clean and dry.
- Brushes must be flicked, washed and dried to remove loose bristles.
- Follow instructions on the paint tin.
- Load the brush evenly and sufficiently by dipping only halfway into the tin and removing excess paint by running the brush against the top edge of the tin.
- Apply paint evenly and fully with short firm strokes.
- Paint from top to bottom.
- If painting timber, paint in the direction of the grain.
- Don't let brushes or rollers soak in water, solvent or paint for a long time as the bristles and nap will soften and applying paint will be more difficult, resulting in streaks on the surfaces.
- Don't use large brushes on small surfaces, strips or pipes, as this will cause the brush to split.
Water based paints – PVA
Soak brushes and rollers in lukewarm water for a few minutes immediately after use. Work water into the roller pile or bristles of the brushes using your fingers to remove excess paint. Drain the water and repeat the process until brushes and rollers are clean. Rinse well, spin the rollers and flick brushes to dry.
Solvent based paints (Gloss Enamel)
Soak rollers or brushes in mineral turpentine, working the solvent into the pile or bristles using your fingers. Drain and repeat the process, rinse with warm, soapy water and spin rollers and flick brushes to dry.
By choosing a high quality paint you are giving yourself the best chance to achieve the most outstanding results. This will also save you money as a good quality, properly applied paint will last twice as long as a cheaper, inferior paint.

Georgetown is one of our nation's leading academic institutions and the country's oldest Catholic and Jesuit University. Located in northwest D.C., the school is perched high on a hill overlooking the historic neighborhood of Georgetown, itself scenically situated along the Potomac River. To the approximately 7, 500 undergraduates who call Georgetown home, the university offers rigorous academic programs with a global perspective and a commitment to social justice. Students take full advantage of the proximity to D.C. obtaining incredible internships throughout their four years. Students love being just a few blocks from Georgetown's main thoroughfare, M Street, bustling with shops, restaurants, and bars.
Stay: Georgetown University Hotel & Conf. Center | Breakfast: Dog Tag Cafe
Lunch: Clyde's | Dinner: Farmers Fishers Baker
Visitor Information: Information session and campus tour reservation calendars are posted on the site three months at a time. Tour Georgetown
Transportation: Georgetown is easily accessible from Ronald Reagan National Airport, about 15 minutes to campus or Dulles International, approximately a 40- minute drive. Amtrak, MARC (Maryland Transit Administration), and VRE (Virginia Railway Express) all travel in and out of Union Station as well as BoltBus, Greyhound, and Megabus.
Mascot: Though the nickname for Georgetown's sports teams (and students in general) is "the Hoyas," the University's official mascot is a Bulldog named Jack, a beloved presence at Georgetown sports events. And he's famous--the American Kennel Club ranks Jack as eighth among the 125 most famous dogs in pop culture. The first Jack brought to campus in 1964, was named "Hoya" by the students, but he stubbornly only responded to "Jack." If you're lucky enough to attend a basketball game during your visit, keep a look out for the current "Jack," he is often seen skateboarding across the court. (The Georgetown Hoyas are part of the NCAA's Division I and are well known for their dominant men's basketball team.)
Stay: You can't get more convenient than the Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center, located right on campus between the Medical Center and the Main Campus. In the heart of Georgetown, the top choice for luxury has always been the Four Seasons on 29th and M. We are big fans of The Ritz Carlton Georgetown, on a quiet street by the waterfront exuding a hip, relaxed vibe and comfortable interiors. The Georgetown Inn is another popular choice and a less expensive option.
Coffee: On campus there is a Starbucks in the Leavey Center that opens at 6:30 am and Uncommon Grounds, also in the Leavey that opens at 7:30. (Located on the second floor of the bookstore.) Students steered us towards Saxby's; just a few minutes walk from campus. In Georgetown we loved Baked and Wired, if we lived in D.C., we'd be regulars. Part coffee shop, part bakery, the vibe is eclectic, the design bohemian and the crowd a mix of students, locals, and tourists. Georgetown Cupcake may have the fame, but those in the know come here for some of the biggest, prettiest and best cupcakes in town.
Breakfast: Decorated in red, white and blue, with a unique dog-tag chandelier Dog Tag Cafe is a bakery with a purpose. Starting bright and early disabled military vets bake scones, muffins & other goodies all while gaining valuable work experience. It's a cozy, feel-good spot for your morning coffee, sweets, and breakfast sandwiches. You'll feel like you traveled to Europe at Café Bonaparte, a French creperie, and coffee shop. Will you be in town for the weekend? Brunch at Peacock Café has been a Georgetown hot spot for years. (It's also a good choice for lunch.)
Lunch: Right on campus grab a quick bite at Leo O'Donovan Hall or the food court in the Leavey Center. There are three iconic institutions in Georgetown, all good for either lunch or a casual dinner: Clyde's, J. Paul's, and The Tombs. J. Paul's has been opened for thirty years and is the newbie with Clyde's dating back to 1963, and The Tombs to 1962. (The Tombs is right on the edge of campus—restaurant by day, and a wildly popular meeting/drinking place for students at night.) Of the three we'd suggest Clyde's, one older alum told us he goes back every time he's in town for the chili and the crab tower. The European-inspired menu at Leopold's Kafe (just off M Street on Cady's Alley) features salads, savory tarts, and entrees like schnitzel--there's a lovely patio, a nice draw on a beautiful day. For a quick, healthy meal Sweetgreen's salads have become a sensation across the East Coast with lines out the door—hats off to the three Georgetown alums who started this uber- popular salad chain. For awesome vegetarian tacos, ones that will wow even the carnivores in your group head to Chaia.
Casual: At Georgetown's lively Washington Harbour, Farmers Fishers Baker's diverse menu has everything from burgers to flatbreads to sushi to grilled meats and fish from the team behind downtowns Founding Farmers. Space is fun and whimsical, and an added plus is the patio overlooking the Potomac. There's a "First Bake" breakfast menu (available from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., Monday through Friday) featuring everything from steel-cut oatmeal to fresh doughnuts and a Farmers Market weekend Buffet Brunch. The Sovereign celebrates the rustic cuisine and brewing culture of Belgian, featuring specially sourced Dutch-style mussels, flatbreads, and soups and stews. Thirsty? There's 50 draft beers and more than 350 bottles to choose from.
A Step Up: Georgetown is home to two of Washingtonians favorite Italian restaurants Filomena, overlooking the canal and Café Milano just off M Street on Prospect Street. On the Georgetown waterfront lauded Chef Fabio Trabocchi's Fiola Mare is a grown-up night out—elegant and expensive and known for its exquisite seafood.
Worth the Drive: No longer a steakhouse town, the restaurant scene is red hot in D.C. and downtown is just a quick uber or metro stop away. Some of the best include Jose Andres' Zaytinya, Rasika for Indian cuisine, The Dabney for open fire cooking and Le Diplomate for French fare, just to name a few. For more top spots click here for our GW itinerary.
Late Night Snack: Taste the creations from sisters and stars of TLC's hit series DC Cupcakes at Georgetown Cupcakes, open till 9 pm. For classic ice-cream, fro-yo's and their signature blend-ins head to Thomas Sweet, open till 10:30 weekdays and midnight on the weekends. Students swear it's the best ice cream in the Capitol.
Local Attractions: Stay local and explore Georgetown with the self-guided Kennedy Walking Tour providing an in-depth look at the architecture and history of the neighborhood. Washington D.C. is a worthy destination in its own right, offering a wealth of landmarks, museums, and cultural attractions. Short on time, must see iconic monuments include The Lincoln Memorial, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, The WWII Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial, which is exceptionally beautiful at sunset. Spend some time on the National Mall where you can just relax on the lawn while soaking in the Capital or Lincoln Memorial. Tours of the Capitol are fascinating and need to be arranged in advance. Two very moving museums; The United States Holocaust Museum and the newest Smithsonian Museum, The National Museum of African American History and Culture, are not to be missed. The latter, opened in September 2016, takes visitors on a journey through 400 years of African American history, an emotional and powerful experience. Extremely popular since day one, you must have a timed ticket to visit; free timed entry passes are released monthly, for more information click here.

So - we put up a solar farm. For 25 years, it generates enough green electricity to power 1,100 homes. While it's up, we manage the land almost like a nature reserve - wildflowers, habitat for rare British plants and animals. It also generates about about £30,000 a year for local community projects. Then, when 25 years are up, we dismantle it, recycle what we can and return the land to its former state.
What's not to love?
Invest now - look for the SCE share offer on the Ethex website - and we can make this happen.

I don't have much to say about this one. It was a super quick read (it took me less than an hour to finish). It was smokin' hot. It was low angst. It had a little bit of OW and OM drama (but not in any sexual sense). Both the main characters were likable, and it was all wrapped up in a sweet ending. Book one is still my favorite, but overall I am enjoying this series, and I hope there are more books to come.
SIDE NOTE: The covers on this series are fantastic, and this cover is my favorite of the series so far.

Texas district judge Jack Robison told a jury that his god told him to tell a jury to acquit a sex trafficking defendant. The jury was not persuaded and found Gloria Romero Perez guilty. The Texas Judicial Commission issued a warning to Judge Robinson but took no further action against him.
From CNN:
Robison testified before the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct last month, and the commission released its warning on February 20.
The court documents show that Robison furnished letters from medical professionals to the judicial conduct panel, which concluded that Robison was not currently suffering from a mental illness.
The doctors determined Robison's actions were driven by delirium, a "temporary, episodic medical condition," according to the court papers. The doctors argued Robison's "fitness for duty" was not impaired.

Some online social games like Red Light Center are dedicated to cybersex and other adult behaviors. Cybersex may also be accomplished through the use of avatars in a multiuser software environment. In Tiny MUD variants, particularly MUCKs, the term Tiny Sex (TS) is very common.the increased popularity of webcams has raised the number of online partners using two-way video connections to "expose" themselves to each other online—giving the act of cybersex a more visual aspect.Cybersex can occur either within the context of existing or intimate relationships, e.g.among lovers who are geographically separated, or among individuals who have no prior knowledge of one another and meet in virtual spaces or cyberspaces and may even remain anonymous to one another.
The exact definition of cybersex—specifically, whether real-life masturbation must be taking place for the online sex act to count as cybersex—is up for debate.
It is also fairly frequent in online role-playing games, such as MUDs and MMORPGs, though approval of this activity varies greatly from game to game.

Rolling Meadows High entrepreneurs win pitch contest
A team of Rolling Meadows High School entrepreneurs on May 22 won $2,500 after impressing judges with their innovative business venture -- an app that helps children with poor saving and spending habits.
The group, Penny Planner, won the funds at Northwest Suburban High School District 214's Startup Showcase, which gives students from six high schools the opportunity to pitch their business ventures following a year's worth of critical thinking, collaboration and innovation in the district's entrepreneurship program.
Penny Planner is an app that aims to create a more stable financial future for children and give back to the community by teaching them social responsibility. Team members include Rosalin Stubing, Haley Hintz, Abbey Owen, Megi Zaimi and Mario Puglia.
The $2,500, funded by the District 214 Education Foundation, will go toward the students' postsecondary plans.
Chicago area entrepreneurs Christen Carter, Mara Hauser, Robert Metzger, Larry Moats, Greg Sweigert and Max Temkin served as judges during the pitch competition. The event was emceed by WBEZ Chicago Public Media reporter Michael Puente.
The District 214 entrepreneurship program, launched in 2015, has already helped students turn their ideas into reality. Over the last two years, Wheeling High School students have raised $23,000 in a Kickstarter campaign for their innovative clip that helps gym-goers secure their weights.
And Buffalo Grove High School students developed a unique deskunking kit for dogs that is now sold in select Ace Hardware stores and on Amazon.
The program relies on the expertise of local partners with professional roots in a variety of areas -- from marketing and branding to finance and business development -- who co-teach alongside District 214 teachers to deliver relevant education.
At the Startup Showcase, students also had the opportunity to network with the judges, and attendees had the opportunity to view other student entrepreneurial work.

Too much work, not enough sleep or energy.
I've spent all day doing homework. And laundry, but mostly homework.
It's almost midnight, and I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow.
Because guess what.
I'm performing with the worship team for the first time tomorrow at church.
Say a prayer that God helps me keep my nerves in check. I'm excited. :)
Okay, I seriously have to get to bed.

Provision for the Barren Foreigner
Ruth has always been a study in contradictions to me: a woman out of place and out of time, who merits an entire book of the Bible.
This chapter of Vindicating the Vixens: Revisiting Sexualized, Vilified, and Marginalized Women of the Bible tackles the most glaring issue immediately: she's a Moabite, a tribe who descended from Lot sleeping with his own daughters. The Israelites were not to marry foreigners, and her husband broke God's law by doing so.
We're never told how the brothers and their father, died, but as Israelites in Moab, it's not hard to imagine death by violence, or perhaps simply the privation that had driven them initially from Bethlehem to Moab.
Orpah—the other daughter-in-law—bails pretty quickly into the narrative, and while it's easy to paint her as selfish, considering that Ruth stays, it's hard to blame her. She must have had SOME family to go back to, some system of protection and provision. As women without husbands or children, they had no social standing or worth. They would still have no standing or worth if they returned to their family of origin, but at least there they'd be guaranteed food and shelter.
Sounds bleak, right? It is. Your options were limited, and your greatest hope was that your dead husband had a brother who could step up and marry you and bear an heir in your husband's name. Since the family line had ended, Ruth and Orpah didn't have that hope, and Naomi points out wryly that there's no way she's having more sons in time.
And yet God provides. In this case, causing Ruth to choose faithfulness to her mother-in-law rather than seeking her own good, giving Ruth a purpose and Naomi a provider. This chapter of the Vindicating the Vixens points out something I hadn't thought about before: in choosing to return to Bethlehem with Naomi, Ruth was effectively denouncing her Moabitish (pagan) heritage and deities.
We can safely assume Naomi was too old to be out gleaning in the fields, but Ruth turns to this hard work eagerly, and we get to see God's provision for Ruth in the person of Boaz, a distant relative (which she does not know when she stumbles across his field).
I'm going to be frank here: if you're a single Christian woman, you'll have heard about Boaz a lot. He's become the standard, the personification of "The One" (which is a stupid 21st-century Western concept, for starters) you're supposed to be holding out for. THE BOAZ AND RUTH STORY IS NOT NORMAL AND IS NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD BE TRYING TO BASE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ON. (Also, where are the books admonishing guys to look for a woman like Ruth? Hardworking! Faithful! Good at gleaning!)
But I kind of get it: God plainly put Ruth in the right place at the right time when she wound up in Boaz's field. Sexual harassment would have been par for the course for an unaccompanied woman—particularly a Moabite, who could have been viewed as disposable. But Boaz warns the workers to not go near her, makes sure she has food and water (it's not a stretch to read between the lines: in the early days of the harvest, Ruth didn't have the means to pack a lunch, since she saved the leftovers of her lunch with Boaz to bring home to Naomi), instructs the workers to leave extra grain behind above and beyond the "gleanings"—It's amazing that they were even to drop some of what they were carrying away. Yes, God's law required that "gleanings" be left in any field. Harvesters were not to strip the fields bare, and widows, orphans, and foreigners were to get first dibs on these gleanings, which is what Ruth was doing there in the first place. But in a place recently experiencing drought and a lack of food, extra scraps aren't something easily left behind.
Ruth collapses at Boaz's feet, asking why he's been this kind to her, and he essentially says "your reputation [of faithfulness and hard work] has preceded you."
There's enough to stop and think about right here, without continuing: yes, God's laws can at times seem harsh and unbearable, and yet, He never leaves us without provision.
That provision may not be what we had in mind, and we might not even be happy about the way God chooses to provide, or when, but it is there, whether we're faithful or not.
The next portion has always confused me. It's bizarre. Boaz, his heart "merry with wine," asleep on the threshing floor—Ruth, washed and anointed at Naomi's instruction, uncovering his feet, and asking him to "redeem" her—to purchase Elimelech's land, to become the inheritor his dead sons were supposed to be, to take Naomi into his home and provide for her, and yes, to marry Ruth and raise up an heir. I, like the author of this chapter, have a hard time concluding that this is a blatant sexual advance, particularly given the deliberate use of words as outlined in this chapter. She's in a tremendously precarious position, asking for something huge, and I think this speaks to both of their characters—that she trusts enough in his discretion to make the offer, and that he respects her enough to not abuse this privilege, even sending her away while it's still dark and everyone's asleep, to prevent gossip.
Ruth asks Boaz to step up, to go above and beyond, AND HE DOES. I'm always amazed by how vastly honorable he is, because she is young, desperate, and very much at his mercy, and he doesn't take advantage of any of this. His acceptance of the arrangement she's proposing even considers the fact that there's a closer relative, who has first right of refusal. (In a fascinating twist: we're not told whether Ruth knew this other guy or just picked Boaz.)
Boaz consults the closer relative, who takes a pass, and the story moves forward.
Boaz & Ruth are married, and in time she bears a son: Obed, father of Jesse, father of David.
Naomi, now ensconced in Boaz's home, given the honored place of a mother, cares for the child, getting to mother again in her old age after the grief of losing her sons, husband, and home.
Ruth, the foreign widow who is barren, becomes a citizen, a wife, a mother, a direct genealogical link to Christ.
God provides. Even for vixens, for the unfaithful, for those of us who are foreigners, for those of who cannot marry or have children. What an encouragement Ruth is for us to faithfully do the work set before us while we wait for God's provision.

Instead of relying on the traditional spray and pray advertising practices, innovative subscription ecommerce manufacturers have recognized that the influencer-community loop is crucial to construct a trustworthy brand.
What You Should Do About Growth Marketing Starting in the Next 10 Minutes
A teleconference in which you meet with your clients or prospects. So you definitely desire a deep grasp of the way to monitor customers on your digital product or assistance. To create your potential clients feel a feeling of connection and willingly build a relationship on you, content promotion is your very best bet to attain that.
Steer clear of content that is specifically centered through your organization. Thus, even when you have been successfully marketing a business for years, online marketing is an whole different location! Small companies frequently need to work with budgets. Your recently founded company is a startup and not only another ordinary small company as it's meant to serve a enormous mass by design, and has the capability to scale.
Growing a sustainable growth engine which allows strategic thinkers to plan with a certain quantity of certainty is called for by a company. Businesses and customers are going to be able to communicate in the quickest and best way. If you've got an internet business then there's absolutely no way you are not attempting to get ahead with social networks. You're not an internet business.

Is it possible that they just made one movie, then have assembled the rest using outtakes? And is anyone really following the plots of those movies anyway?) Anyway. With all the awards talk in the air this week, I thought it would be nice to remember a few actors that aren't getting any attention because their movies or their presence, for whatever reason, are already forgotten. Here are a few terrific but sure-to-be-overlooked performances that occur to me; I've checked this against the helpful IndieWire awards tracking page and confirmed that nobody, even the most obscure critics' group, is celebrating any of these people. But they should. — Patricia Clarkson in "Shutter Island." It's as if she, for a moment, sucks all the air out of the movie, in a good way. — Rebecca Hall, who in "Red Riding," "Please Give" and "The Town" played startlingly real women, as if she'd wandered in from a documentary. — Dakota Fanning in "The Runaways" and Elle Fanning in "Somewhere." Quietly, these almost eerily focused sisters are showing the grownups how it's done. — Aidan Quinn, in "The Eclipse" — a hilarious portrayal of a self-important author, in a movie that, alas, nobody saw. (Maybe the title was too close to That Vampire Movie?) — Cate Blanchett in "Robin Hood." I know; nobody liked this movie. But Blanchett's beautifully controlled portrayal of Marian shouldn't be overlooked. — Michael Caine in "Harry Brown." We all take this treasure of an actor for granted. We shouldn't. — Mia Wasikowska in "The Kids Are All Right." The moms (Annette Bening, Julianne Moore) are getting plenty of attention — but did nobody notice that it's the daughter's movie? — Kevin Kline in "The Extra Man." Comedic performances generaly get ignored at awards time; this was one of the year's best. — Tamsin Grieg in "Tamara Drewe." A lovely, wistful portrayal of a wife lost in an unhappy marriage; she quietly steals this movie. Got any more to add? The kids are all right, indeed. Mia Wasikowska, with Josh Hutcherson.

I grew up in the western suburbs of Melbourne. I started learning tap, jazz and ballet when I was five years old at The Carol Fairy School of Dance in a grungy Scout Hall in Footscray. My favourite teacher was Miss Tammy who had calves of steel! When I was twelve I chose to leave the school - mainly because 80s high cut leotards were on the horizon -and instead embrace Punk Gothdom.
I misspent my youth dancing in my bedroom, then later, in Goth/Indie nightclubs and pubs where I learned the Goth two-step and ska dancing. It wasn't till I was 23 that I discovered my true love of tap dance at Miss Lou Lou's Tap Dance Academy. This school showed me how liberating and fun it is to combine kitsch, retro glamour with noisy, high energy dance.
Sadly, straight after high school I wasted a few years studying art.
Living in Melbourne got me down, I was becoming more anxious about working to pay exorbitant rent every month. Living in a country town where AC/DC headlined the 1971 State Festival clearly seemed like a great idea! Less work, more rock.
Over my ten years living here I've certainly noticed changes in the region.
I have many dance heroes including Eleanor Powell, Gene Kelly, Nicholas Bros, Tap Dogs, Toni Basil, BabyMetal, Helen Kahn (60s Hindi Superstar) and LadyBaby. I surround myself with stuff that inspires me: Heavy Metal, DIY costume tutorials, Trailer Park Boys, Paul Hogan, Survival Lily (YouTube), 80s QLD punk, Norman Gunston and especially John Lydon.
Ms. Evie's Tap School started in October 2012 with two classes (20 students). It has grown to ten classes (70 students). Truckloads of energy & commitment goes into making the annual tap show. Selecting the perfect song for each class, designing, foraging for and making costumes, spending the year on new steps, arm moves and stagecraft, sound and lighting design, heavy lifting, makeup and hair, ticketing, stage managing, etc.
I grew up watching my mum making amazing theatre props, craft and costumes out of stuff lying around the house. She taught me to sew a bit but I learned so much more from watching her make fake food, dance costumes and an actual size grandfather clock. It's no wonder I was inspired in my teens to make a frock out of real marshmallows.
I met my husband on an episode of The Love Boat. Now we both share a passion for anything Tiki. The Itchy Scabs were born when TB Scab and I realised that kids need punk now, more than ever! Supporting Kid Congo was a special gig for us, but playing on Wolfman's ute at Chopped last year was a dream come true! Geez he could drive!
Living in a small town, for me, has meant freedom to take the risk of starting a small business. Limited population to support a small business however could perhaps be difficult down the track. I'm hoping the school will continue to celebrate the freedom of expression, developing skills and the joy of being an individual.
My favourite things to do in the area: Archery at The Chewton Archery Club, steam train excursions on The Victorian Goldfields Railway, The Park Run, Show & Shine Hot Rod events and Chopped at the Newstead Racecourse.
For anyone who can afford to move out here, The Blue Sea Fish Shop make awesome fish 'n' chips.

How to Create the Best Wedding Budget for You
With spring just around the corner, we're heading into wedding season. That means brides- and grooms-to-be are in getting into full planning mode. It's exciting to think about and plan your big day. What's not so exciting is the price tag goes with it. The average wedding in the US cost $35,329 in 2016. Weddings are expensive, and it's so easy to go over what you intended to spend. As I plan my own wedding, I cry a silent tear when I sign over thousands of dollars or watch my bank balance drop.* The good thing is that you can still have a beautiful wedding on a budget that works for you!
In personal finance, budgets have a bad reputation. They're restrictive and difficult to follow. But there's a good side to them too. When it comes to wedding planning, a budget can help you to prioritize the most important aspects of your wedding and keep you from overspending. This article found that 74% of couples go over their budget. Don't let that be you! So how do you go about creating a wedding budget?
Who is paying and how much?
The first thing to do is determine who is paying for the wedding. In American culture, the bride's family traditionally pays for the wedding. Nowadays, with men and women frequently both having jobs and getting married at older ages, many couples pay for the entire wedding or at least part of the wedding themselves. They may have contributions from family and friends. In some cases, their parents may pay for all of it. There's no hard and fast rule on who pays anymore.
There are two general schools of thought on asking for contributions:
Ask for contributions. Many people have family members such as parents and grandparents who may offer or want to contribute to their wedding. Family members may have told you in the past that they were interested in helping you out financially. Or maybe they want to help financially but haven't yet discussed it with you. A polite mention of the subject may be all that's needed to get you on your way. Just be sure to get a specific dollar amount or the item that will be covered. For example, a mother or grandmother may want to purchase the bride's wedding dress.
Don't ask for contributions. For some, it's out of line to ask anyone for financial support. Then you know that you'll be on your own to pay for your wedding. If you're family and friends mentioned that they want to help but can't financially, they may be happy to help you in other ways with wedding planning.
Decide which way is best for you. Then add up the contributions from others and the amount that you and your fiancé can contribute. There's your starting budget. For some, this may be more than they dreamed of having for a wedding. For others, the number may lead to more anxiety. If the second is your case, there are ways to help you increase or stretch your budget.
Extend the length of your engagement
Save more of your income
Take on more work and/or side hustles to increase your income
Simplify your wedding plans
The last thing I want to point out here is to practice some caution when accepting contributions. There's a common saying when it comes to wedding planning: no pay, no say. If you know that accepting someone's contribution will come with strings attached, consider whether it's worth taking. Some parents turn into mom-zillas and dad-zillas when their money is involved. That may mean compromising the vision you have for your wedding because someone else is footing the bill.
After this step, you'll know how much you can reasonably afford for a wedding. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you don't have to have a strict number set in stone. I actually like the idea of a budget range so that you give yourself some breathing room while planning. After considering everyone's contributions and your own, you might come up with a budget range like this:
Ideal: $10,000
Comfortable: $15,000
Cutting it close: $20,000
What kind of wedding do you want?
The type of wedding you hold will make a big difference in how much you spend. A lavish affair such as a hotel wedding with a five-course meal and a live band will cost more than a modest church wedding followed by a restaurant reception. If you're early in your planning, you may not know exactly what you want and how much it will cost. That's okay.
If you've done some wedding research already, then you know that everything is expensive. A cake for any other event like a retirement party may be $100, but it will be $300 for a wedding. These markups are everywhere when wedding planning. You'll find that your dollars don't go as far as you had hoped.
Two major ways to keep your costs in check:
Change the venue – The venue typically accounts for a huge portion of the wedding budget. That's because the venue itself may charge a fee for to use it for the ceremony. Then you may be required to use their caterers for the reception. Catered wedding food can easily run over $100 per person at fancier venues. You're stuck paying their prices if you want to use their venue.
Lower the number of guests – The second best way to cut costs is to invite fewer people to the wedding. When food can easily run $50-$100 per person or even more, you're saving that amount with each guest that you cut from your list.
You may find, as I did, that our preferences and plans changed over time. We originally wanted a seafront hotel wedding with approximately 100 guests. As we did more research and circumstances around our wedding changed, we chose to get married at a chapel and cut down our guest list to about 50-60 people.
I know we're not the only couple to change the vision for our wedding. We've had engaged friends tell us that they stopped planning after realizing how much things were going to cost. One couple moved their wedding to Portugal because they got so much more value for their money there. At one point, I was ready to just head to Vegas to get married.

Should You Have a Frugal Wedding? A Look at Our Wedding Budget
What are your priorities?
Unless you have an unlimited budget, you'll likely have to compromise on some aspect of your wedding. The good thing is that you don't have to give up what really matters to you if you prioritize your spending. When you start wedding planning, pick out a few things you want to prioritize and focus your spending there.
My fiancé and I each picked three things we wanted to prioritize. We both wanted to prioritize food. I come from a family of foodies, so I know they'll want to eat a lot and eat well. We decided we'll do a plated dinner with three entrée options instead of a buffet or family style service. We gave up our wish to have a live band because we knew that would be pricey and wasn't necessary for our guests to have a good time.
Food – Do you want a full-service plated dinner, a buffet, a family style meal, or a self-serve affair?
Flowers – Grand or small floral arrangements? Floral centerpieces for every table? Do you have a favorite flower you want to use or are local and in-season flowers okay?
Guest list – Do you want to invite only close family and friends? What about distant relatives and acquaintances?
Music & entertainment – Live music or a DJ? Photo booth or no photo booth?
Venue – What type of venue do you envision? Does it have to have an ocean view or a ballroom? How about a community center or a repurposed barn (very popular nowadays)
Cake – How many tiers do you want? Is a small wedding cake and a supplemental sheet cake okay?
Photographer/videographer – Do you want to hire a top-notch, full-time photographer or someone who does photography as a hobby? Do you need a videographer?
After you discuss your priorities with your fiancé, you'll likely a much better idea of where you want to spend and where you can cut back.
Crunch the numbers
Now that you know your budget and have your priorities in mind, it's time to crunch some numbers. There's a wide range of costs for the same service, so it pays to get an idea of how much it will cost for what you like.
Take some time to browse online for sample budgets. You'll find lots of budget breakdowns for couples who have gotten married with every budget from $3,000 to $100,000. You may find that the breakdowns vary widely by geographic location and time of year. Then take a look at vendors in your area and how much they charge. Some venues and vendors don't publicize their prices. In that case, you have to contact them for more information.
According to The Knot, here is a reasonable budget breakdown. Note though that this is a very general breakdown and you'll probably find that it varies for you based on your priorities and needs.
Reception: 48%–50%
Ceremony: 2%–3%
Attire: 8%–10%
Flowers: 8%–10%
Entertainment/Music: 8%–10%
Photography/Videography: 10%–12%
Stationery: 2%–3%
Wedding Rings: 2%–3%
Parking/Transportation: 2%–3%
Gifts: 2%–3%
Miscellaneous: 8%
Just-in-case fund: 5%
Honeymoon: extra funds
One of my priorities was having great photography. I started by looking on Yelp and found a few that I really liked. I also found out that the common starting rate for top-notch photographers in the Bay Area is about $6-$7K. That was a shock to me.
If I follow the above guide and decide on a top-notch wedding photographer, my wedding budget should be about $60-$70K. On the other hand, if I have a $30K budget, my photographer should be about $3K. Since photography is one of my priorities, I'm willing to splurge there and cut back in other areas.
Don't forget the extras
And there are so many extras! Wedding planning comes with many extra expenses and hidden costs. Vendors may cost more than their initial quotes due to taxes, upgrades, and transportation to and from the venue. Vendors and everyone who provides a service will likely get a tip. If your wedding starts early or ends late, you'll pay extra for those hours of service. You might want to get a few hair and makeup trials done before deciding on a stylist.
If you have lots of out-of-town guests or a wedding party, you may plan to host a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding or a breakfast the morning after. And then there's welcome bags for out-of-town guests, gifts for your wedding party, and favors for your wedding guests. These things aren't necessary but will add to your budget if you want to include them.
Another thing to consider is if you want to have a wedding planner or a day-of-wedding coordinator. A good coordinator will ensure that everything runs smoothly on your wedding day, leaving you and your guests to enjoy the wedding. A coordinator can cost several hundred to over a thousand dollars, while a planner will be even more.
It all adds up. The 5% "just in case" category above is necessary. I would recommend budgeting at least 10-15% more to cover extra costs. That's why I love the idea of having a budget range and aiming to spend at the low end of it. You'll likely end up at the higher end when you add it all the extras.
Write it all down
The next thing to do is write things down to keep track of your spending and saving. It's easy to go over-budget when you hold all the numbers in your head. My favorite way to track things is to make an Excel spreadsheet. There are lots of other wedding budget trackers out there. A Practical Wedding offers a great budget tracker. There are several sample budgets on the page as well.
Re-evaluate as you go
You'll likely find that your wedding plans change as you move along in the planning process. That's completely normal. After all, how many weddings have you planned in your life? It's definitely a learning experience. Know that you can change your priorities, reallocate funds from one category to another, and even scratch your plans and start over again. We did it three times!
One of the best things to do though is to stick to your budget. It's easy to get carried away and spend more than you planned. But partying now and paying later is no fun. If you're reading this post and have gotten this far, then I'm sure you're already trying to create the best budget for you and to stick to it.
After planning my own wedding and writing this post, I still have so much to say about the topic. So I decided to make this the start of a series about weddings as they relate to frugal living and finances. I'll be posting on the topic every so often, so as not to bore those of you who aren't interested in weddings. I hope my experience will help you create the wedding you want on the budget you have.
* Don't worry, we have a wedding budget and are sticking to it. I'm not going into debt for my wedding. It's just hard to watch hard-earned dollars disappear so quickly. Don't you agree???

Back up Cameras
Rear Bath versions of the GMC were not really popular because it was difficult to see through the rear window and they robbed room from sleeping arrangements. I'm trying to work around these issues, one way was to install a two DIN Sony radio/DVD player anticipating multiple back up cameras. Prices have come down these last years, so I'm going to install at least two, this player will allow for video switching, play Pandora, and is generally awesome. It also charges, and will play the stuff on my iphone.

Peter Chiarelli, GM
The Edmonton Oilers are clearly disappointed with their performance this season and GM Peter Chiarelli is hoping to fine-tune some pieces of his roster to improve his club's chances at competing next season.
The Oilers are believed to be engaged in multiple trade discussions involving a number of their players, including forwards Patrick Maroon and Mark Letestu, and some of those players have term left on their deals beyond this season.
Maroon and Letestu are set to become unrestricted free agents July 1.
Chiarelli spoke with the media earlier on Friday and indicated his team wants to get quicker and he plans on making some moves leading up to Monday's 3pm ET trade deadline. He reiterated, though, that he's not about to enter into another rebuild.
"We're not going to blow it up," Chiarelli said, adding the team wants to tweak its roster.
"We're looking for speed. We hope to address that a little bit, as far as prospects in return – that's kind of the primary objective of this deadline. It's tough sledding right now. We can always get picks, but I prefer not to."
As far as Maroon and Letestu go, Chiarelli would not confirm whether or not he expects them to be moved in the coming days, but the writing appears to be on the wall.
[View TFP's Top 30 Available Players List]
"There's interest in those players, and we've also talked to those players about re-signing," Chiarelli said. "These are two playoff-proven players. They're very versatile players. There's interest there. We'll see where it goes."
Chiarelli was asked if locking up so much salary cap space in three centres – Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – could result in moving one of them, most likely Nugent-Hopkins, but he would not specifically address the question.
A trade involving Nugent-Hopkins, while possible, seems unlikely to occur before the trade deadline. Those discussions would resume now and carry out until around the NHL Draft in Dallas in late-June, where a move of that magnitude could make more sense.
The same could be said for defenceman Oscar Klefbom, whom TFP confirmed earlier this month was being discussed by other teams, but only if it meant a top line winger heading back Edmonton's way.
The Oilers do, however, have other irons in the fire.
"As far as 'hockey deals,' we're looking at a couple," Chiarelli admitted. "I don't know where they sit right now. There's some kind of larger action going on right now, and we're not in it. But so much happens in the course of two, three, four days, so we'll just be on top of it.
"We're looking at a lot of different things without blowing up the team."

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bipartisan budget deal that would provide financial relief to the Defense Department over two years by increasing defense spending caps. The chamber voted 266-167 in favor of the agreement, with strong support from Democrats and defense hawks on both sides of the political aisle. The legislation would add about $112 billion in federal spending over two years -- $80 billion of which would be offset by spending cuts elsewhere in the budget -- and raise the national debt ceiling until March 2017, according to The Associated Press. For the Defense Department, the bill would boost the spending restrictions on the base defense budget by $25 billion to $548 billion in fiscal 2016 and by $15 billion to $551 billion in fiscal 2017, according to a summary of the legislation. In addition, it would provide some $59 billion for the war budget in each of the next two fiscal years, resulting in overall defense budgets of $607 billion and $610 billion, respectively. The legislation now heads to the Senate, which is on track to pass it before Tuesday's deadline for increasing the so-called debt limit, the AP reported. --Brendan McGarry can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Photo Diary: Universal Studios Japan
When we booked our trip to Japan, one of the many places which was placed high on my list to visit is Universal Studios Japan. I have been wanting to visit this theme park since finding out that the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has opened. I am a Potterhead, you know.
We went there in November, and according to the blogs that I have read before the trip, it's the off-season that time of the year. We were relieved and happy. But guess what, it didn't seem like it was the off-season — at least by the standards I was expecting. It was so crowded, and almost all the rides' waiting time is at least 90 minutes. Patience is a must! We were able to enjoy only a few rides, but we were able to ride the most popular ones with the help of our express passes. I really recommend buying one since it looks like the park is crowded all-year round.
Anyway, let me share with you how our visit went. And since this is a photo diary, I will let the pictures do the talking!
Warning: Lots of photos ahead!
And that's it! We enjoyed our visit even though we were able to ride only the rides on our express passes. The queues are really insane. And also because of the rain, some rides were closed. The Japanese really love their theme parks, and rightfully so. I think 80% of the visitors in the park were locals, and most of them are students in their uniforms! I read that Japanese schools send their students to theme parks for school trips. Cool, no?
My favourite obviously is the Wizarding World. I still cannot believe I have already visited the place. As cliché as it sounds, this experience has ticked off one item in my bucket list!
We have visited the park in November 2016, and since then, they have added a lot of new attractions. There's a Minion Park already!!! I think it's time for us to go back, don't you think?!

Is your ex violent? Verbally abusive? Drug or alcohol problems? Unstable? Criminal? You can't change the facts and I'm not suggesting hiding the facts or ignoring the facts at all.
What I am suggesting to you is rephrasing the facts. Why? Because you care about your children's mental health, future mental health and their well being. That's why. To flaunt and rub in the flaws of your ex — because you are angry, burned, hurt — and want your kids to KNOW the kind of ex you have — well…I get ya. But let's think this through like we care.
I'm sorry for whatever drama or abuse your ex has put you through. Congrats for getting out and getting your kids out. No one should be abused or feel unsafe. Ever.
