My grandma betty and her family used to be migrant farm laborers. she's told me stories of how she would pick cotton with her mom instead of attending school. they eventually saved enough money and started a business and bought a nice house, but how many other people are not so lucky?? This video is worth a watch and brings to light several good points. its definitely worth watching.

I really liked seeing this picture of the Obama's reading this book. It's one of my son's favorites and it's nice to see them being so personable.

Anything Marvel is good in our book ;) We also watched The Adventures of Tin Tin a couple of weeks ago and we both loved it. While I was watching it I thought to myself, "I wanna be Tin Tin when I grow up." It was a great movie and now I want to buy the comic books. This is the life of a mother of a boy ;) I also stumbled upon a really cool blog: mrhipp.blogspot.com. His illustrations are awesome, I especially like his Avengies illustrations. I'm a sucker for quirky, and his art work won me over.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some of my friends have told me that my celebrity doppleganger would be Scarlett Johansen. I don't know about that, but I'll definitely take the compliment! I found the most attractive photo of her I could. :) I've also gotten Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson and Hillary Duff back when I used to have long blonde hair.

That Marcus Aurelius knows what's up. This is how I currently feel about religion. I was raised Southern Baptist, but don't really align to it's views anymore. I'm currently reading a Buddhism parenting book, trying to cull some zen-like mom knowledge from it's pages. I do believe in karma. I don't fundamentally believe in the Bible stories I learned growing up. But the bottom line is, I don't particularly care for religion in general. I think if I live my life as a good and kind person, raise my children to be good and kind, then there's not much more I can give the universe.Christina Perezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07656594351748262083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540337465899695267.post-29027002324537831132010-07-08T12:09:00.000-07:002010-07-08T12:09:13.682-07:00AddictedSo I went to the store to get stuff for my acorn squash quesadillas and ended up getting three types of cookies and a bag of york peppermint patties.

I've almost always had my hair dyed since I was 13, so having my natural color for so long I've been itching to try out a new color. In the past I've had platinum blonde hair, regular blonde hair, red hair, blonde hair with black streaks (i don't know what i was thinking on that one) and dark brown hair. The only thing that I really like about my hair color now is that Reegan's is the exact same color. So, here are a few options that I'm considering: the more traditional dark blonde color, the reddish brown color (i feel like i've done this one a lot though) or i could go all out and get purple/pink/blonde highlights. I have to say my favorite is the crazy purple hair. I've never really done anything that crazy with my hair and I think it's super cute. The only draw back is that its kind of a high maintenance hair color and anyone who knows me knows that I am not high maintenance at all. Also my hair is really kinky curly and I would have to straighten it every day for it to look good. Do I really want to do that? NO! Do I really love that hair color? YES!! So now I'm stuck and can't decide which one I want to do (If any at all...can I really be away from Reegan for 3 hours getting my hair done? yes, I'm that mom) So, help me decide...which do y'all like best?<div><br /></div>Christina Perezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07656594351748262083noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540337465899695267.post-66055266577015594512010-03-16T21:08:00.000-07:002010-03-16T21:19:42.242-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTnINCp7VKd0-ISxqH7cTEoefWnauChp7vb726uxjKBtIL8iS2MMdnOrPBaD_lUoDfc4_aoPZ-66mKod4cDufUht1vv7N6s7-zbHbm0RTvOFd1tqvZD6Q2GrHsgpz01Bv4nPHzT9RMjQE/s1600-h/Reegan+132.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449450176668467218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTnINCp7VKd0-ISxqH7cTEoefWnauChp7vb726uxjKBtIL8iS2MMdnOrPBaD_lUoDfc4_aoPZ-66mKod4cDufUht1vv7N6s7-zbHbm0RTvOFd1tqvZD6Q2GrHsgpz01Bv4nPHzT9RMjQE/s320/Reegan+132.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p><span style="color:#009900;">This is my little gremlin.
