House Bill 3063- Whichever Side You Stand on- This is a Fight for Freedom

We are headed the State Capital tomorrow for a peaceful rally against the House Bill 3063, which will pass a law that strips us of our right to CHOOSE medical care for our children.

“This legislation sets a dangerous precedent. One where parents are coerced into medical procedures or risk losing the right for their child to receive an education. By passing this policy, government is choosing to follow fear over freedom, and it is an alarming precedent to set.”

-Republican Rep. Denyc Boles

“We cannot run over the rights on which this country was founded in an effort to correct failed public health education and outreach efforts.”

FYI: Rep. Boles’ children are fully vaccinated. She believes in medical science’s ability to heal and eliminate disease. However, she has significant concern about this “one-size-fits all” mandate for both the vaccine itself and the vaccine schedule. Vaccines have been employed for decades, yet they still carry inherent risk to the individual, even though the population risk for contagious disease may decrease. While science has made strides in areas like oncology, where treatment is individualized to the patient’s genetic makeup, vaccines have not kept pace.

Join us tomorrow to ensure that we, the Citizens of this Country, can maintain our rights and liberties in order to keep our government accountable.

Vaccines are MORE effective now, than they were in 1989, when 40% of Measles outbreaks occurred in recipients of the MMR vaccine. Or are they? In 2014, a fully vaccinated woman contracted and spread the measles to 88 other people. (If these numbers raise questions in your mind, I encourage you to start your own research.) 

And yes, we hope that they are also SAFER than they were in 1998, when 13 physicians published a study, that showed 8 of 12 healthy children who received the MMR vaccine developed autism. *The 13 physicians involved in this study said they had investigated over 40 other cases.

Or even in 2001 when the CDC discovered a relationship between the timing of the MMR vaccine and autism in African Americans. (The CDC colluded to cover this up and did not come to light until 2014 by Dr. Thompson who had originally been replaced to speak on his findings and received disciplinary action, before receiving a $24,000 “retention bonus” after his studies were destroyed that same year.)

The vaccine safety surveillance by the CDC has a long, drawn-out history of similar coverups since 2001.

A statewide mandate without better pre-screenings for minorities, that allows the government to require all present and future vaccines without consequence- sets us up for great risk now and in the future. This is not a one-size fits all Bill and as is currently written and infringes on our 14th amendment rights.

Hope you’ll join us, despite which side you may stand on when it comes to Vaccines. This is a fight for FREEDOM and maintenance of our constitutional liberties.

Tomorrow: Salem Capital at 12pm. See you there

    I think it is great that you are doing your own personal research and I think it is up to each individual to take the responsibility and research what is best for themselves and their family. Thanks for sharing and goodluck!!

    Certainly interesting to read more about this. I’m almost entirely uninformed, considering I have no children, so I haven’t concerned myself with this as much. However, I’m sure I should be more up-to-date.

Felt a little saucy in this dress, so I had to do Felt a little saucy in this dress, so I had to do a little dance. 🎶💃🏻 #RevolveU #7MonthsPregnant

This is cut so beautifully, that it will fit at any point of your pregnancy, even pre and post! I love the huge, puffy sleeves and flirty hemline. Just have to get a better bra option, since the ones I have don’t quite give me the coverage I want for the low-V. 🙈 #LukeAndLavenda

The sun was a gorgeous red this entire shoot, (from smoke blowing in I believe). 😰 But even still, it made for a lovely sunset.

This girlie turns 11 next week and I just can’t This girlie turns 11 next week and I just can’t believe how quickly it continues to go by!

While we don’t ever “get it right” as parents, I’ve been pretty blessed to see Ella’s knowledge and love for God continue to grow over the last few years, which gives me the greatest confidence in her future being a bright one! Who’s a better influence, am I right?

Growing up, I didn’t have a mom who consistently loved and cared for me, so it wasn’t modeled for me in those early years. As I grew up, I was blessed to get a peak into other homes and spend time with other family members who modeled a healthier dynamic of parent to child for me, but because of my childhood I’ve often lacked the confidence that my instincts are on track with Ella. Now that I have three girls and a fourth kiddo on the way, I am relieved to see that A: Ella is doing alright so far. And B: God offers age-old wisdom in the Bible for those of seeking parenting  advice.

Be kind, gentle and patient. Teach and stand up for the truth. 

Anyhow, just taking a pause to reflect on where I’ve been and where we are today. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and retreat into reactionary mode with our kids. I know I have during this “new normal”. But slowing down, cutting back and taking the time to reflect on our goals can be SO healing and refreshing. Thankful for Luke, who lovingly shares the load so that I’m not alone in it... 

I hope you all have a great week, despite the hustle. Lots of love from one mama to another. 😉

Almost 7 months along and Luke’s hair is growing right alongside this #BabyBump. He keeps getting “you look like Auqua Man” which I don’t quite see. What about you? 🤪  #LukeAndLavenda

Anyhow, thanks SO much @baileavesphotography for capturing this gorgeous shot! My dress is fully in stock and I linked up the hat too! More photos from this shoot coming soon. http://liketk.it/2Ym5f #liketkit @liketoknow.it #ltkmaternity

TOP HACK for shopping non-maternity dresses during TOP HACK for shopping non-maternity dresses during your pregnancy?

Look for smocked dresses and/or tops for a super flexible waistline. I prefer them to be cut a-line or babydoll so that it accentuates my baby bump. This dress was a super cute date-night find that I’ll layer up with boots all Fall.

Anyone else pulling out their tall boots already? Shop the look here: http://liketk.it/2YiyL #liketkit @liketoknow.it #ltkmaternity

One piece of advice I received years and years ago, was “marriage will always take intention and work, so make time for it.” Thus, a weekly date night. ☺️

Okay, so it’s finally beginning to look and feel Okay, so it’s finally beginning to look and feel like FALL 🍂 around here. I’m both excited and absolutely dreading this season. (More on that in a sec.) first thing’s first: can we talk about how gooooood these overalls for mama-to-be’s?

Linked up this exact pair, though I recommend sizing up, or selecting the pair I found on ASOS if you’re already quite prominent or in your third trimester. (The fit on these is quite small.)

Also found these @stellamcartney sneakers for 30% off which is a steal on this designer splurge. 

Now, back to reality: Can we please talk about how the “new normal” relies on millions of mamas (and papas too) to choose between their career and caring for their kids? After failing my first quiz of the term, (I waited till the last day to turn it in, which was the first full day I had without kiddos, only to discover the hours of reading, study and notes were in vain. It had been due to DAY PREVIOUS 😱) I’m finding myself considering the possibility that I can’t “do it all” right now. Between the girls virtual school schedule, my college schedule and my beloved blog, (not to mention the daily challenges of an active pregnancy) I’m finding myself stretched too thin to succeed at ANY OF THEM. Trust me, Luke is in the same boat. He has to help with our littlest ones, while maintaining a full time job as well.

I mean, how’s everyone doing? What kind of cut-backs and compromises are parents making out there? Delegation is great, if you have the resources, but I know not everyone can afford tutors and private sitters in a world that has CANCELED affordable childcare.

Asking for a friend. 🙄

Best part? I can eat a whole steak dinner by myself now ( Sorry Luke 🤪)!!

Trying to stay toned with a few weight workouts each week, but missing the gym to be honest. We’ll see how much weight I end up gaining by the end. Any guesses?
