Parental Rights

Little by little with out us realizing it our rights as parents are being striped away.   When we vote for our politicians we need to also check up on them to make sure that they are working on our behalf.  We sometimes tend to forget that THEY WORK FOR US.  We vote them into office to represent us.  Most times we vote and leave it alone, never checking up on them.  Everything that has to come up for a vote is public record, we can check to see if they are doing the job.  We can also send tons and tons of emails, letters,etc.. to get our voices heard.
What has happened is that we have put our trust in man.  We trusted these people to do what they said they would do, but as human nature would dictate they failed us.  Not being accountable is an easy way to go astray.  We as a nation are no longer accountable to the word of God, and this is the result.  
Here is a short video explaining how our rights as parents are slowly being taken away. Movie

Cool Find #8

For this weeks cool find I bring you another DIY for your home.

A name plate.

I think I will make this for our house using our last name.  I will hang it in on the wall in our foyer.
This can also make a great gift for someone.  I really like this project.  You can do just initials, use different colors, you can even put in the bathroom with the word bathroom in. The possibilities are endless.

Homemade Iced caramel coffee

I was never a coffee drinker up until my 6th pregnancy.  During this time I tasted someones Ice coffee and have loved it since then.  I'm thinking its one of those pregnancy things.  You know its either you never ate it before until you got pregnant or you loved it until you got pregnant. Anyway, I make my husband coffee every morning, so I decided to try making ice coffee.  Now all I did was wait till it cooled added some milk and that was it.  I did not like it.  Recently I found out that I could make caramel using sweet condensed milk.  Basically you take the can, put it in a pot add lots of water and boil it for about 4 hours.  So I had the idea of doing this and adding it to the ice coffee.  I can say I will not have to buy it at DD any more.  This is soo goood.
After I make my hubby's coffee I wait till it cools some but not to much.  I put 1-2 tablespoons of the homemade caramel in my cup then add some coffee.  I put in enough ice cubes to fill up the cup then I add my milk.  I also add a little bit of vanilla extract.  It doesn't even need sugar.  It is so good.

Give it a try.
