Being Labeled

"oh you HAVE to cloth diaper if you want to be an attachment parent"
"oh you can't go to workshops/camps/mothers day out if you want to be an unschooler"
"oh you have to eat all organic if you want to be holistic"
"oh your husband HAS to be the spiritual authority of the household in order to be a 'good christian'"
"oh you have to attend Sunday morning/sunday evening/tuesday night bible study/wednesday night fellowship in order to be a good christian"
"oh you have to listen to the *sucky* christian radio station"

basically, I believe in picking and choosing what works best with my family and our financial situation.

Also, just because I like bits and pieces of a movement, or certain articles, does not mean I subscribe to every single philosophy they spout, geesh! I even like some articles of Above Rubies, and I love her Raw Food cookbook. I even like Renee Ellison's Raw Food cookbook. I like some of the ideals in the Unschooling movement.  The Attachment Parenting movement.  Holistic Moms movement. But that doesn't mean that i like or agree with everything in their movements. hello.

So basically it makes me mad when people ASSume that if you like bits and pieces of a movement/cause/way of living that you affiliate with and practice every single theory, philosophy and idea of that group. And they truly don't understand why you would only do/like parts.

*caveat, my husband sounds I sound grumpy.  Blame it on low blood sugar. :)

Giveaway - Tarrant County McDonalds Reviews Ebook and $25 Gift Card

I’m a big believer in supporting your spouse’s dreams and aspirations. 

Therefore, I’m hosting several giveaways of some of my favorite things to support my husband in his endeavor to be a writer, speaker, Trekker and all-around brilliant thinker.

My husband Kevin C Neece is a wonderful Speaker – he speaks at conferences, events, church services, colleges, workshops, and classes. Check out his overall website at www.kevincneece.com

Lately, he has been mainly focusing on The Undiscovered Country Project, looking at Star Trek from a Christian perspective. His website is an ongoing conversation between Star Trek and Christianity, seeking points of congruence between the two.

He is also hosting a Spock Ears Giveaway on his site during Spocktober, his month-long tribute to Spock. The Undiscovered Country Project is giving away TWO pairs screen-accurate replica ears made and signed by makeup artist Steve Neill, who sculpted Spock's ears for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Based on Neill's original masters, these ears are exactly like the ones Leonard Nimoy wore in the film!

Now, back to my giveaway.
*This particular giveaway will only be activated when my husband's page reaches 1,000 fans*

I am giving away one copy of my ebook Reviews of Tarrant County McDonald's restaurants.  I've put a lot of time, gas, and effort in visiting a whole LOT of McDonalds around where I live.  I answer questions like
"Is the playplace toddler friendly?"  "Does the playplace have electric sockets for the internet working mom?"  Currently there is a total of 10 questions, plus my personal reviews of the restaurant, including my vote for the best toddler-friendly McDonalds.  I also offer this ebook on Fiverr if you would like to purchase it.

Now, back to my giveaway. ;)

I will be giving away extra copies of a great magazine called Above Rubies.  There will be at least 10 copies.  Above Rubies is a magazine that is filled with inspiring testimonial stories of Christian ladies with large families.  Even if a large family isn't your cup of tea, these stories are a glimpse into a lifestyle that most of us can't even imagine.  There are also natural health and natural birth stories.
Included in this package will be two copies of Mothering Magazine, two copies of Reminisce magazine, and maybe a few others that will be a delightful surprise. :)

Now, back to my giveaway. ;)

I will be giving away my extra copy of one of my Favorite Birth books.  I have a library of over 50 books dealing with pregnancy and birth, and this one is by far one of my favorites.  It is exhaustive in its coverage of important information and I personally think it contains information that is not easily found other places.
