Here’s are a few questions I ask you the reader:

- Should this presidency be determined on whether or not Sarah Palin, mother of 5, just recently had a baby?

- What about if you heard the baby has Down Syndrome? Should it matter if she can be VP?

- What if I told you her 17-year-old daughter got pregnant? She’s also keeping the baby and plans on getting married this year to her fiance.

Many of you are probably thinking she’s a terrible mother. But the truth is she is the average working mother, course she gets paid a lot more than most of us. Right? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a REAL mom in office, even if it were as VP? Yes, she has issues in her own family, we all probably do that we don’t want everyone to find out about. She’s about to deal with many of the issues we all talk about, she’s the average mom. But she’s doing it all on a bigger scale, the thing I’m amazed is how she deals….UNDER PRESSURE. So far she’s dealt with it beautifully, actually most moms would’ve attacked those that were going after her cubs. Am I right?

Honestly I agree with Obama when he stated, “Leave the children alone.” I support that, course you know that won’t happen. Everyone will watch how the children behave before voting. Everyone will wonder, if Sarah can be a “mother” and “work” at the same time. Course I don’t think this should be an issue, she also has a husband and even if she didn’t there are working moms that are single that do exactly that (yes not for the White House) all the time. This race should not be about how many kids she has, whether or not she has one baby with down syndrome or a daughter getting married. It should be plain and simple about politics, the views, how we feel on “if they can get the job done” type thing.

Voice your thoughts and after the speech come back and leave more thoughts. Can’t wait to read them all.

It doesn’t matter if you just heard your friend/family member has just found out that they are expecting or already has a baby, if you are looking for a great and unique baby gift to get them CowParade has something for you. When CowParade first wrote me I wondered why would I want a breakable cow, I quickly found out they were more than just ceramic cows at the site. So head on over and check out all the items they have, it’s a really neat site and something for everyone, even babies and collectors. CowParade is actually one of the world’s largest public art exhibits around. They even have a life-size 3-D cow, I doubt this one is for sale. They have the following for you: Figurines, paint-your-own cow, mini moos, plush moo cows, jeweled boxes, pins and of course books. We were sent the Teddy Bears on the Moove (as seen in the pic at top), which has one cow and two teddy bears that velcro on top of the cow. As you can see they easily come off making them a great toy item for baby or any young child. We also got the Super Cow Plush, he’s a bendable cow which means we can pose his legs in any direction without breaking him. Little A LOVES this one, at first he wasn’t sure but after he learned he could fly he was all for it. Take a peek on the side. You didn’t really think you’d ever get that one from him did you? I asked for him and that was the look he gave me. Yeah, I don’t think that’ll ever go on his dresser. He sleeps with him and drags him around by the cape now.

The little teddy bears from “Teddy Bears on the Moove” have become little play items and as you can tell he loves them all to pieces. They are soft and don’t have anything that’ll poke his eyes out. I like that when he isn’t playing and if I can actually manage to put them up I can make them do anything, you know like climb up books or pretend to have them prancing.

Next up are the figurines, these are extremely nice and as you see these too are the “Teddy Bears on the Moove” but they are breakable and heavy. This is one of those things you’ll place on a baby nursery shelf (that is secure) or one of those dressers in the baby room. This could really give life to a room. Imagine painting a nursery with a farm theme or even teddy bears and having these two guys right in the center. It would just add that perfect touch. Well the teddy bears are mooooving on so I better check on the little one myself. If you need any ideas head on over and take your pick. They have ballerina, cow french moodle, cowabunga (surfer), moo flower (ship) and so much more. Those were just the plush dolls, they have tons that are rare & retired, hers, his, etc. I think my next buy will be the Soccer Cow (figurine) for SoccerBoy. Doesn’t it sound perfect? BalletGirl would probably like one of the jewelry box cows.

The things our babies will do to us.

Yesterday afternoon, the Orange Country Sheriff’s Office held a press conference, it was short and right around 5p.m. Captai Nieves would be the one that actually spoke:

“We continue to receive inquiries in reference to forensic evidence pertaining to the Caylee Anthony investigation recently returned to the Sheriff’s Office.  We once again confirm that we have received and expect to continue to receive forensic results from evidence in that case from at least two forensic laboratories.

As we have previously stated, because of the sensitivity of this ongoing criminal investigation, we will stay the course and reserve our right to withhold any and all evidentiary details until such details become a matter of public record.  We can affirm that every piece of evidence returned on this case is being carefully reviewed by investigators assigned to the case and the Orange/Osceola State Attorney’s Office.

Our primary objective in this ongoing investigation is to locate Caylee Anthony.”

When a reporter asked if they could say one way or the other if Caylee was in fact dead the answer was more of a we are still looking for Caylee. So not sure as they did state before evidence proved there was a decomposing body in the trunk. Was that someone else’s body then? (I mean if it wasn’t Caylee’s) If it wasn’t Caylee’s, who’s was it?

The immunity that Casey had been given has been extended until Tuesday. Honestly if she hasn’t taken it yet, I doubt she will…but that’s just my opinion. What do you think?

Casey Anthony was arrested again three hours after the press conference. But she wasn’t arrested for what you think, it was check fraud and theft. Maybe they want to keep the pressure on her. Bond for her release now is $3000, will someone pay that?

Leonard Padilla, the bounty hunter, bailed her out of jail the first time. He’d been under the impression she’d help them find little Caylee or at least tell them more info. Instead she kept her lips sealed. He’s now wanying to revoke that bond.

It has come to my attention that I may for the first time have to actually write up a comment policy. No, not because I’m some mean lady but in all fairness some of us moms have more than just a baby around us and for that I need to watch those tiny eyes.

The comment policy will be something most already do online so it won’t really be too restricting. But hopefully it helps those of you that aren’t familiar with the etiquette of commenting.

Reasons for Deleted Comments:

- sometimes your comment falls under my spam filter. If this is the case I normally go through them daily, however there are some days when my spam filter gets over 1000+ spam and I don’t go through everything. Not with a 5 year old and a 1 year old begging for my attention.

-  Your comment may get flagged if you just say “hi” and leave your link or stop by here. Something about those spam police. Please don’t advertise your services, not unless I personally ask in the post.

-  Bad language. I totally get feeling bad, there are other words to use, after all isn’t that what we teach our children?

-  Personal attacks at myself or other comments are not tolerated. Don’t do it, there are ways to disagree without attacking someone’s name or just being plain nasty to them. 

-  some feel offended by all caps, while this will not cause you to be deleted you might want to think about it the next time you post. Others take this as an attack, however being a military wife I know many of you are use to writing in caps, even online.

Thank You

In the meantime no one is giving up on the search of Caylee or worse case, Caylee’s body. Her grandparents continue to meet with police every week and there is a site they have put online www.helpfindcaylee.com 

Another news story is they’ve brought in a psychic that believes they’ll find Caylee near Lake Conway but she won’t be alive.  I do hope they find Caylee so her grandparents can finally know.

There is also a theory that on the day she may have died (if she died) there were several calls from Casey to her parents. Investigators are starting to believe whatever happened was on that day and she was trying to contact her parents for her help. One thought is the little girl may have got in the pool there and drown. But no one will find out until either Caylee is found or her mom speaks up.

For those of you just finding out you are pregnant or have known that you are about to have a baby, think really hard about stocking up now. For those of you that have already had a baby or two what do you wish you knew about diapers whether it be cloth or disposable that you didn’t know then?

I have four children, the youngest (age 1) is learning about the potty chair. This means I’ve went through TONS of diapers, entire rooms could’ve been filled with how many diapers you go through with four children. Hundreds and thousands of dollars spent on the little thing that keeps the pee and poop in.

The one thing I wish I did before giving birth…..stockpiling on diapers and wipes. So I’m going to give you a few links of people that have actually done this and some tips.

Tips:

- Find out where the sale on diapers are and head to those.

- use coupons for diapers, this may only reduce the price by a dollar or two but when you hit up a sale and add the coupon you save even more.

- look for good deals.

A few stores I like to shop when getting my diaper deals are the following: CVS, Walgreens, Price Chopper, Hyvee and of course Walmart. Where do you shop for bargains?

This weeks deals:

Walgreens $9.49 plus $2 register rewards

CVS $13.99 Huggies & Pampers megapacks (-2 for over $10 order)

Target $18.99 Huggies

Sometimes you can even find diapers in clearance. I found the Huggies pull-ups 2t marked down at $2, I grabbed two just in case. Hey, I’m hoping he’ll be out of them in a few months but just in case I won’t have to buy full price later. Always check the clearance rack, you never know what you’ll find. One lady found Huggies at her CVS for $5.75.

Sites that Mention Deals:

Diaper Deals with Bargain Hunting Moms -Diapers.com has a Newborn Diaper Sale with their own little gift packs. These are so cute and actually a great way to keep all the necessary things together for the baby.

My Precious Pennies’ Stockpile of Diapers- She has already started her stockpile and as you can see she has a variety of diapers that she found great deals on. In the pic you will see Luvs, Huggies and many others. She’s also stocking up on wipes.

Baby CHeapskate finds the Best Diaper Deals for the Week- all types of tips, coupons on everything from diapers, wipes, creams to formula. Check out the articles here. Lots of savings to be found on this site.

From the beginning Casey’s story never made any sense, even changing it up from time to time. She was recently bailed out of jail on a $500,000 bail, but she has yet to help in the search for her little girl. Is there are reason she isn’t looking?

New documents show that there was proof that a decomposing body was in the trunk of her car. Could this have been her daughter? If so what happened? More documents that have been uncovered showed that she never wanted her little girl Caylee and that it was in fact her own mother that convinced her to keep her. Casey had been looking at adopting Caylee out.

Right now it seems the only way anyone will ever find Caylee or her body is if her mother starts speaking. Casey wrote a poem only days before she reported her daughter as missing, which really makes one wonder.

“What is given, Can be taken away. Everyone lies. Everyone dies.”

I apologize for getting the mother’s name Casey mixed up with the CNN Reporter Robin Meade.
