Weekend Wanderings {5.11.13}

I'm still here: back online after a year without the Internet:: Without the Internet for a year, I do not think I could do this!  Do you? 

An Open Letter to Pastors {A non-mother speaks about Mothers Day}::  In honor of Mothers Day I thought I would share this great article.  As you know, we have struggled with pregnancy loss and so Mothers Day is a rough day for me.  

Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Explains Why He Hates Fat Chicks::  Wow!  I have never been a fan of this company, as they offer clothes that are too short, tight, skinny, and more for teenage girls (and younger) to be wearing.  They have nudity hung all over their stores and now this!  One more reason I will never walk into one of their stores or purchase anything with their name on it.  Oh, and just a side note....do they have to spray so much cologne/perfume in their store so the entire area outside their store stinks of it?  I'm super sensitive to strong smells now that we do not really use any chemicals in our house, so walking by this store always gives me a headache.  Don't even get me started on the laundry isles in stores! Wow, I got off topic! What do you think of this article?  

How to Make Your Own Chia Seed Drink::  A great recipe video from Mama Natural. If you have not seen her videos or blog, check it out. Her videos are great! As far as the recipe, once we are moved and settled I'm trying this. Mom, you interested in trying this with me? 

Top 5 Things You Didn't Know About Gluten::  I have removed most gluten from my diet in the past year and I can tell a huge difference in mood, energy, and my skin when I eat that nasty gluten! 

Man Animates Joke About Tortilla Chips Told By His Drunk Wife:: If you have not seen this funny animated video yet, you need to watch it. I should record some of the weird stories I make up, and I'm not ever drunk when I tell them! Shawn, you want to animate them for me? 

There was a lot on the blog this week, here is what happened in case you missed any posts.  No wonder all it felt like I did was write posts this week, 11 in one week is a record that will probably never happen again!
