changes...

So , Obviously, I haven't posted here in a LONGGGGG while. Life takes new directions and we all have used our blogs to serve certain purposes at certain times. I hope this blog serves as a place for information and fun in the life of parenting and sassy stuff.

Being a mom of 3 now, having HAD the HIGH life of Luxury and now having a more realistic one has changed my views on a lot of stuff. Mainly, STUFF & THINGS just don't matter as much as people and relationships do. So, I will only blog from time to time and share STEALS & DEALS and decor/ design, event info and really good articles related to parenting:) DEAL?
DEAL!
Well, You can always scan my other blogs on my profile to see what we've been up to! Till next time!

Our New Card

so, over the years, I've had many card made. Some i have designed and others i had designed for me. But, this card is different b/c it's not a card about getting my business name out there to make money. I'm not selling things anyone can buy. BUT, in a way, it's the most important card I've ever designed. This is called a Pass-Along Card. It's what hopeful adoptive couples and family make or have made) to get the word out about their choice to adopt.
These cards can lead to a person who knows a person who may eventually lead you to your future birth mother and future child. More and more adoptions are brought about because a friend of the couple knew someone. Word of Mouth is one of the BEST tools in this case and in many other aspects of life and livelihood.

So, audience of Momma Sassy fans and friends, if you feel so inclined: please post or pass along card on the sidebar of your blogs. Link it to our adoption blog www.brandonandcorrine.blogspot.com

Who knows- maybe you will be the connection that brings about the most amazing miracle to our family or to one of the other awesome couples on our sidebar. And remember that abortion is not the only option. Some one somewhere is praying for a miracle, to be blessed with a son or a daughter and many hope for open relationships with the birth parents, like we do!
Thanks in advance, wonderful readers! I'm so grateful for all the good in the world today!

12 signs...

You are headed for Divorce.
Not that anyone wants to think about the big D word but, these 12 signs are what each person must be aware of. I know a few people who feel trapped in their marriage with no end in sight. It saddens me to think that 2 people could be so miserable and b/c they said " I DO" they will try to stick it out - even if they are in an abusive and destructive relationship.
The D word should always be something that is REAL in every marriage. And couples should work towards Harmony and happiness in their relationships. They should be best friends with their spouse. But, i'm finding that this isn't always true for a lot of couples. So, read this quick article and see for yourself.

I'm a Dr. Laura Fan for sure but, i do think it's better for a woman or man to part ways from the spouse if one is unwilling to change or get help, after all you can do, of course. And i also agree with Dr. Laura that if you are single or divorced parent with children, you should not introduce your kids to whoever you date, nor should you shack up or pawn your children off so your carnal needs can be met! Your children come first and if you can date as a single person without it impacting your child rearing- than go for it.

And no woman should ever put up with any kind of abuse- PERIOD!!! Same rule for men who have a crazy lady as a wife!

New Years Goals or???

New excuse to procrastinate.... Here's a great and somewhat funny article about New Years Goals and why most people do not keep them.

I thought this picture to be fitting b/c many people make goals and squeeze them into a time frame all hell-bent to GET IT DONE with out proper motivation and will power to do what it takes. They Choose to TRAP themselves or set themselves up for failure. If you are going to make a GOAL do it b/c YOU want to do it- not because a new year has begun!

My Life

...has begun to slow down a bit again and this Blog may get a bit more attention that it previously has. I really believe in the " time and a season" for all things. Mostly know, i plan on blogging about what COOL finds, crafts, good reads and articles, MOM stuff , baby stuff and fun events. And a few giveaways as well! Man, it's good to be back but this will probably only be a weekly place that I post. So... Here's what's up with me and my family...

My blood work came in 2 weeks ago. I have high Testosterone, low estrogen, PCOS ( already knew that one), Adrenal exhaustion (they aren't functioning properly), and I'm Vit- D deficient. All that has taxed my body and hence the reason it has been unable to process fats and nutrients. And from the lack of proper functions- it wasn't eliminating toxins as well but, rather storing them in the CYST on my lymphatic nerve band called the Mesentery Band. SO, i didn't know all this before i met a surgeon and of course- his first response was to " take it out" without even knowing why it formed? I hated that idea. Then i found this awesome place called Clinix Healing Center
Where i met Dr. Cortini and Dr. Katie Young who have helped me find out the above information!!! Now, I'm dieting and have lost 8 lbs in one week( re-training my body to use my stored fats), am on a Vitamin D supplement, hormones, enzymes and essential oils for proper digestion and soon to be on an adrenal detox. Even though dieting ( which i have never really done before) is taxing- it's temporary and with the combo of the above, I'm sure to be at my goal weight with easy. I have learned a bit from this trial and am so glad to have finally have some answers and know that surgery is not necessary for the cyst. It has gone down and will continue to shrink if i keep on the healthiest path!

Other news... We had a fun Halloween as the cast of Wizard of Oz.


My Girls Volleyball Team WON the whole tournament and the Season. We played for 8 weeks or more:) I loved coaching them. They are wonderful ladies!

I'm singing again! Tonight it's with an interfaith choir. On Sunday it's a trio for the adoption Fireside! I feel like this is part of me that can be hidden no longer or that will be taken away from me.

And we are STILL Hoping to Adopt! Hopefully our dreams (and many of our friends) will come true this next year and we will welcome a child or children into our family!hope you readers are all well! Can't wait to post again soon!
