Momming is hard.
I love it and it's worth every bit of stress...but it's TOUGH!
(If you don't agree... share your secret.)
As a mom, it is extremely difficult to find time
and/or motivation to do things for yourself.
That includes:
+putting on makeup
+doing your hair
+wearing cute outfits
+participating in hobbies
Even if I set aside a day to get completely ready once a week I'm like...
Glad I put on my makeup so I could do the dishes.
At least the people at Target will really appreciate this.....NOT.
As a solution,
I created a calendar with daily challenges to complete that will hold me accountable.
BUT, I thought it would be so much more fun to do this as a group.
Much more accountability if we are in it together, right?
So here's how we do it:
Each day there is a certain challenge that must be completed THAT DAY.
Below you will find a calendar with all of the challenges, but I will post daily on my
instagram account (@lovenotesbylauryn) with more info about each challenge.
Take a picture of yourself
completing that challenge and send it in to me through:
+my Facebook Page
+email it to me
(lovenotesbylaurynblog at gmail)
If you don't want to send in pictures
but you still want to post that you are participating in the challenge,
a hashtag will be given for each day's challenge as well as a hashtag for the month which is: #themommachallengeapril.
Toward the end of the day I will post a collage
featuring all your beautiful faces participating in the challenge.
Sounds like fun, right!?
There are no requirements...
you don't have to do every day, you don't have to be a mom,
you don't have to send in pictures to participate, blah blah blah.
This is just an opportunity for us to stay motivated and have accountability!
Even though March is still going, we are starting TOMORROW.
So join in!!
I'm not sure how this will look in the upcoming months.
We will have to see how this month plays out and plan for the upcoming months.
Can't wait.
See you tomorrow on insta!
♥ ♥

You likely already know that TPC Louisiana in Avondale opened in 2004 and is home of the Zurich Classic. What you probably don't know is that the TPC Grille in the club house is not just for golfers!
The Grille is open to everyone for lunch 7 days a week. The lovely dining room overlooks the beautiful "lawn" between the 9th and 18th holes. And beyond that lawn is a never-ending landscape of lush wetlands and native cypress trees.
The lunch menu has something for everyone. From "The Practice Tee" appetizers include onion rings ($6.99), shrimp queso dip ($7.99), and oyster ravigote ($7.00). The Grille's signature salads can be found in "From the Rough" and include pepper jelly chicken salad: blackened chicken breast on mixed greens, with toasted pecans, currants, blue cheese, and onions ($10.99); seared tuna salad served over a bed of mixed greens, with tomatoes, red onions, carrots and toasted peanuts ($13.99); shrimp remoulade: boiled Gulf shrimp tossed in a tangy remoulade sauce over a bed of shredded greens and fried green tomatoes finished with crispy andouille ($13.99); and a Caesar salad to which you can add grilled chicken ($9.99), grilled shrimp ($11.99) or fried oysters ($12.99).
The menu offers 9 sandwiches including the clubhouse sandwich: grilled chicken topped with sliced turkey, bacon and melted swiss on a brioche roll ($9.99); BBQ brisket topped with crisp coleslaw on an onion Kaiser roll ($9.99); BBQ shrimp wrap: flash-fried Gulf shrimp tossed in a New Orleans barbeque sauce wrapped in a warm tomato tortilla ($9.99); and the Rockefeller: flash-fried Gulf Coast oysters topped with Rockefeller sauce and parmesan served on a sesame bun ($12.99).
Finally, the Grille features 5 different burgers made with 100% pure Angus beef. The Champions Burger is griddled and topped with melted cheddar cheese ($9.99); the Voodoo Burger is topped with the chef's Voodoo fried onions and melted blue cheese on a brioche bun ($10.99); and, 2 flame-broiled sliders topped with American cheese, pickles and caramelized onions ($6.99). The burgers are served with your choice of french fries, onion rings, potato salad, sweet potato fries, seasonal fruit salad or house-made chips.
A popular option is the twilight "Drink and Dine for $5.99" menu that features several items for $5.99 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m., Thursday through Sunday. Of course there's a full bar – it is a golf club house, after all. The bar is open until the last golfer leaves.
In addition to daily lunch offerings, the TPC Grille is an event destination that can accommodate groups as small as 10 and as big as 225 for luncheon meetings, showers, weddings, class reunions, holiday parties, and just about any other catered event you might need. The catering menus are extensive and offer everything from hors d'oeuvre party packages starting at $19.95 per person to sit down dinners starting at $23.95 per person. Prefer a buffet line? No problem. Choose from one of many breakfast, lunch, and buffet menus ranging in price from $9.99 to $29.95 per person. Oh, and they offer wedding packages, too! The wedding ceremony takes place on the beautiful lawn overlooking the cypress-lined golf course. I'd like to showcase more of the catering offerings, but have limited space here. Suffice it to say, Jeff and Chef Wells can accommodate every palate and budget for any size event!
TPC Grille also offers special holiday menus. For example, they have a Thanksgiving Day buffet for $35 per person including tax and tip. Also keep the TPC Grille in mind for their Mother's Day, Easter, and Father's Day brunch buffets. Jeff and Chef Wells hope to add more special events to their calendar and recently hosted their first beer dinner at the TPC, 6 courses with 6 beers for $55 including tax and tip.
TPC's food and beverage director is Jeff Chiasson, an Archbishop Shaw graduate, whose resume includes extensive experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry, most recently at New Orleans' Red Fish Grill and the Royal Sonesta Hotel. The chef is Dustin Wells who began his cooking career at Pinetta's in Baton Rouge. From there Chef Wells cooked with Chef John Folse at White Oak Plantation, also in Baton Rouge. Eventually, Chef Wells made his way to New Orleans where he spent 7 years cooking at Dickie Brennan's Palace Café and Bourbon House.

text: Way back when, I went in a caravan of SF Labor Council activists to Delano; I brought with us my daughters, ages about 10 and 11. While Cesar wasn't there, Dolores was; so was Larry Itliong. We ate baloney sandwiches on white bread with the farm workers. We listened to the accounts of their lives. I believe that was the best grounding as good, sensitive citizens my children could ever have had. One is now a scientist at NCI, the other an accountant who works with non profits. They are both aware of and take part in social causes. I recall on the way back someone having to get out of the car for a while and walk ahead with a flashlight to give the driver enough visibility through the foggy landscape. That was a day I will always remember. Few years later, for an executive meeting of my union, the SF-Oakland Newspaper Guild, I was able to plunk down on the table huge bunches of grapes, the first most of us had had in years.

Instant Elevator Music Plays When Your PC Makes You Wait
Whether you're copying, downloading, or opening them, big files mean long waits. Soothe your irritated nerves with Ben Stone's Instant Elevator Music. This small free/donationware program plays a pleasant tune in a loop while your PC sets about its work.
By default, Instant Elevator Music starts playing when Windows or supported programs perform certain actions. It will play while Microsoft Office opens, for instance, or while you copy a file. If you have Firefox's "Show the download window while downloading a file" option selected in Firefox, IEM will play its gentle tones in a loop as you download, say, Corel Painter. You can also set IEM to play during boot time, to ignore certain programs, and so on.
The installed tune is KMAX's "Mario's Elevator." If you tire of this mild, synthesized music, you can add your own MP3s to play instead. You can have the elevator music stay silent if you're already listening to music on iTunes, Winamp, or (with a component Instant Elevator Music prompts you to download if desired) Foobar2000. For a less full-featured, but rather funnier, experience, check out Stone's Nyan Cat Progress Bar for Windows 7.
Instant Elevator Music tracks the amount of time you spend "stuck in an elevator." Amusing as that is, it's also a good reminder of how much productivity you can squander drumming your fingers in irritation, waiting for Photoshop to open. The music ensures you don't simply forget you had a massive file downloading, and it also tells you when the task is complete. Instant Elevator Music frees you up to do something else at your desk while you wait, and that's an uplifting idea.

Court hearing today for Octomom
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Octomom" Nadya Suleman is heading to court this morning to face charges of failing to report $30,000 she earned while trying to collect welfare.
She's scheduled for arraignment in court in Los Angeles. If convicted, she could be sentenced to nearly six years in prison.
Suleman became famous in 2009 when she gave birth to octuplets, conceived by in vitro fertilization. She already was a single mother of six.

ARLINGTON, Wash. -- With rescuers entering the sixth day of their search effort, the death toll from the mudslide east of the town of Oso was expected to rise "dramatically," officials said Thursday.
Sixteen have been confirmed dead. But officials believe they have located at least nine more bodies in the square-mile debris field of the Snohomish County landslide. Officials said 90 people are missing or unaccounted for.
Chief Travis Hots, of Snohomish County Fire District 21, said the recovery effort is arduous, somber and can take hours once searchers find a body in the slurry.
One victim had apparently been driving on State Route 530 before the slide smashed into the driver's car, dragging it 200 feet. Rescuers had to remove the roof of the car to extract the body, Hots said.
"Once the person is removed, it gets kind of somber out there," Hots said. "You can hear a pin drop. You get seasoned veterans who tear up. It's our way of paying respect."
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office will release the number of dead. Unfortunately, Hots said, "you are going to see those numbers go up dramatically" in the next 24 to 48 hours.
It's been a solemn scene on what rescuers have called "the pile," a complex, treacherous mound of mud that separated from a nearby hill and crashed through a community of at least 49 homes along the Stillaguamish River.
"You just can't fathom what we're up against until you see the lay of the land," said Hots, who added that he decided to spend Wednesday in the disaster site rather than go home. "It's unreal. You've got clay balls the size of ambulances that have rolled off the hill and smashed through [the area]. ... There's a lot of areas we can't get machinery in. It's so wet and mucky, it's like a swamp."
Hots refused to give up the hope of finding a survivor -- something that hasn't happened since Saturday, the day of the slide.
"My heart is telling me that I'm not giving up yet," Hots said. "We're still going at this full steam ahead. We're going to do everything we can ... even if we can just save one more person."
[For The Record, 1:15 p.m. PDT March 27: A previous version of this post referred to the Stillaguamish River as the Squallamish River.]

Getting children to play outside doesn't seem like the type of problem that needs a government solution. Given how few children routinely spend any time out of doors and the growing number of children who are obese, however, the government had no choice but to try to reverse the trends.
The Governor's Conference on Youth and the Natural World will be held in Augusta on Thursday. The aim of the conference is to impress upon educators, parents, elected officials, community leaders and others the importance of getting kids outdoors, not just for a field trip but as a part of their daily lives.
Studies have found that only 6 percent of kids, aged 9 to 13, play outside on their own in a typical week. Yet, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, youths between the ages of 8 and 18 spend an average of 61/2 hours a day with electronic media. This adds up to more than 45 hours per week, enough to be a full-time job.
Between 1997 and 2003, the proportion of children aged 9 to 12 who spent time outside hiking, fishing, gardening, playing at the beach dropped by 50 percent. So it should be no surprise that childhood obesity rates have risen dramatically. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 4 percent of U.S. children were obese in the 1960s. That had risen to nearly 20 percent in 2004. As a result, children are being diagnosed with lifelong problems, such as Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol, at younger and younger ages.
Ensuring children spend more time outside won't only improve their health. Research shows that children who spend time in the natural world do better in school and get along better with others, have fewer symptoms of attention deficit disorder and have higher self esteem.
Many of the barriers to more outside time are psychological, a problem the conference will try to address.
For example, many parents fear that their children will be unsafe outside. Yet, statistics show that the abduction of children by strangers has been dropping for 20 years and are very rare. Likewise, violent crime against children has fallen below 1975 levels.
Concerns about bug bites, sunburns and injuries can be addressed with a little preparation and common sense.
A conference, complete with a climbing wall, bicycles and a film festival, won't be enough to cure what has been called "nature deficit disorder," but calling attention to a problem is an important step in beginning to solve it.

text: I play subspace and I like what they decided to do. Like tanarus, they have been in beta for about a year and a half with free play, now that they are going live, they are charging $29.95 for the software, the rest of the connections are free.. and subspace is just as addictive as tanarus, lets see.. $29.95 for unlimited play (one time fee) or $120/year.. hmm.. tough choice. I could even spend more for the game, as long as I don't have to pay to play, then it's just like another game. Maybe if they sold their game for $59.95 and then they could get the money from the people that might not continue to play it after a while instead of losing revenue. I know that at $10.00/month, that the game better give muchos bennies for me to even consider that, and at this time, it's just a good game. Monthly fee's will kill the game, plain and simple.

Not so 'Country' Outfit for a Country Concert
So I've shown some options about what might be fun to wear to a country concert before. But what if you don't want to be super 'country' at a country music festival? Just because you attend a country concert definitely does not mean you HAVE to look like you just walked off a ranch- there are plenty of other outfit options!
Here is an outfit idea that would be perfect for an upcoming show!
Dress. . Wedge booties. Purse. Ring.
I love the floral pattern on this dress and think it's a perfect candidate for a print mix with the sassy snakeskin bag. And of course, you need to be comfortable on your feet, so wedge booties are perfect choice. Add a colorful cocktail ring and you are good to go!
Have fun!

Women in Archaeology 2014
Archaeology is steadily becoming a more female profession. In 2012-13, ampoule 46% of archaeologists in the UK were women; fifteen years before, only 35% were. The majority of archaeologists aged under 40 are now women, most students studying archaeology are female and it is expected that in the next ten years women will make up the majority of the archaeological workforce.
To celebrate International Women's Day, Councillor Julie Gunnell the Lord Mayor of York is inviting participants to "Women In Archaeology 2014", a one-day conference in York on Saturday 15 March 2014 to discuss the role of women in archaeology.
The conference will begin with an evening reception on Friday 14 March at the JORVIK Viking Centre. On Saturday 15 March, a full day international conference will be held with a banquet at the Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor.
York Archaeological Trust is currently running a major international project, Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe 2014 with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union. This project brings together archaeologists from 21 European countries who are researching the profile of the archaeological workforce, this includes skills and training needs. One of the key issues raised by this project has been the role of women in professional archaeology in each of those participating countries.
Participants in the Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe 2014 project will be presenting papers at the conference. Further papers are invited that address, review and debate the challenges and opportunities that women face in archaeology today, in the UK and internationally.
If you would like to speak, please contact Anna Stewart to discuss conference details.
If you would like to attend as a delegate please email your details to [email protected]. Please let us know if you would like York Archaeological Trust to book hotel accommodation for you.
Anticipated costs: £10 for the conference (which includes refreshments and buffet lunch), and £60 for the banquet.
A more detailed list of speakers will follow shortly.
This conference will be supported by The Right Honourable The Lord Mayor of York, The University of York, The Life Long Learning Programme, European Union and York Archaeological Trust.

Well I had my G I appointment yesterday. Good news, is he doesn't believe the foot pain is from my Humira! We'll keep an eye on it with blood work, but apparently low B12 will do the same thing, and cause really bad nerve pain, etc. So he's keeping an eye on that too since he hasn't been, and where it is absorbed is where my scar tissue is, so I will double what I am taking now in vitamins and see what happens.
Bad news is… he wants to do a scope. I FREAKIN HATE SCOPES! They never get easier, and I will have to totally abolish my diet plan bc I cannot eat half the stuff I'm supposed to, for a week or two before the scope. I have to get it done on June 15th. At least with him, I get put to sleep, but the prep and not eating SUCKS! So until then, expect me to act like a big baby… just a warning lol.
My CPAP machine isn't working properly, so I was going to call Medigas, who I got it through about it, but decided to check the paper work they gave me, and am giving it a good thorough cleaning and changing of all of the filters, etc. and see if that works first.
I have a bunch of cleaning I want to do animal wise, but I am hoping to at least get the girl's cages cleaned, and get Roxy's nails trimmed.
I know I have comments, etc. to get back to on here, but I am exhaustapooted so I am going to leave it for the day if you guys don't mind. I just don't have it in me.
I did get earlier in the week, my garden beds finally weeded. I had old plants from last year that needed to be cut back, and so much grass, etc. to rip out, but it's been colder lately, which I love, so I will hopefully be well enough to do the transplanting of my few plants under the stairs, over to the other garden beds this weekend. My landlord was talking of paving it over, and I do not want them wrecked with the amount of money they're worth. He did finally get the grass mowed today, so I'll be a little less scared of ticks. (they're really bad this year)
Okay, going to head out and have a nap. I'm sure it's not having the CPAP machine going for a few days that's exhausting me, but I just can't stay awake!
Talk soon!

However, there is only one problem: Finding the best hunting boots that suits you and functions well is quite a difficult job.That is why I have created this list to help my fellow hunters out: The best hunting boots of 2016.

A Review Of Some Of The Best Hunting Boots Today
If heavy-duty boots are what you're looking for, then I suggest buying a pair of Bugaboot Plus III.
This boot are especially made for withstanding cold weather, with well-insulated interior that can withstand severe temperature drops.
It's also made of imported leather and textile, so rest assured that you can hike and hunt all you want without these boots giving in.
When it comes to durability, this boot scores a 10/10. Even for an avid hunter or hiker, this pair can withstand all kinds of terrain without the sole giving out. So if durability matters to you most, I suggest purchasing this boot.
The height and weight of these boots are obviously made for hardcore hiking. The height of the boot offers optimum support for the ankle, which can be good for hunters who will trek on high ground. As for weight, these boots are relatively heavy, due to their heavy-duty capacity to insulate and protect your feet.
As I've said, these boots were made for the extreme weather. If you're going out hunting in zero or even below zero degree temperatures, this pair of boots can keep your feet warm and toasty with its superior insulation system.
This Lowa pair is classified under hunting, hiking or trekking boot.
As it is, this pair of boots contains all the features that would make hiking up a trail or rough terrain a great experience as it can be, such as: speed-lacing technology, padded tongue and collar, and seamless waterproof GoreTex lining.
Overall, this boot combines comfort and durability all in one.
This Lowa pair features a thick synthetic sole, high-quality leather, and premium nubuck leather uppers that make this pair a good option for rugged and gnarly terrains. With this boot, you get the value for your money with both durability and incredible foot support.
This boot is just the right height for heavy exercise such as running or walking, as the low height allows for a lot of movement, and it weighs only 1kg, a very lightweight pair of boots.
These boots are so exceptionally insulated, and they will keep your feet warm in the winter but probably a bit too warm in the warm seasons. Nevertheless, this pair is a great option for high country and hiking boots.
This boot is the type of boots that can get you through a rough hunting trip involving rough terrain and damp environments.
This variant of the famous Danner brand features durable and stylish material, breathable GoreTex liner, all-leather toe and heel cap, and thick rubber sole to combine comfort and durability both into one pair of good-looking boots.

The bottom of the shoe features a thick rubber sole, and the toe and heel have an all-leather cap—all functioning to get your boot through all weather and terrain without cracking.Generally, these boots scores a 4.5 out of 5 stars when it comes to durability. It's made of high quality products that make sturdiness possible.
This boot's height is just right for very shallow puddles and allows for a lot of walking and trekking. As for its weight, despite the added features and linings, these boots are surprisingly lightweight.

Although, these boots will get very hot easily in warm weathers due to its heavy insulation.
What LaCrosse has done is to create one of the most versatile rubber hunting boots today.
They are made for not only comfort but with durability in mind as well.
It is no wonder that these boots are considered among some of the best rubber hunting boots available today.
These boots will undoubtedly last you a long time with its high-quality imported leather material.
These boots are very tall, so be careful when selecting your pair and make sure they will match your height. However, they are still foldable on the top. Being a rubber pair, these boots are also lightweight.
Comfort and fit are two of the main focuses of this boot. With a waterproof lining and outsole provides warmth and comfort for all kinds of weather. A good pair for hunting in wet or cold environments.
The Kenetrek Mountain Extreme hunting boots are an ideal boot if what you are after is game in the high country.

A great option for big game hunters, this boot can keep your feet un-blistered and comfortable even with high exercise, but without compromising the durability of the pair.
As seen from its sturdy leather material, you can bet that this boot won't give out for a lot of years of hunting.
The Kenetrek pair of this list is made of thick and sturdy leather that not only offers maximum support for the wearer, but also provides a sturdy outer material that will make your boots last long.
Height of the boots doesn't make it snake proof but offers extra support to the ankle, and weight is 2kg which makes it on the heavy side.

What You Should Look For In The Best Hunting Boots
A good pair of hunting boots has some very definitive details that make it stand out from its competition. When you are in the market for a new pair of hunting boots, you need to ensure that the things you are most going to need are found in that pair of hunting boots. It should be noted that you may need a different pair of hunting boots according to the situation you are going to be wearing them in.
While there are some universal benefits found in all premium hunting boots, the differences according to needs can be quite large. Why do you have to wear something with extra insulation if you are going to be trekking through a rocky desert? Are low fitting boots appropriate if you expect to have to walk in near knee deep water? These questions may seem ridiculous, but the truth of the matter is that each pair of quality hunting boots reviewed here is designed for a particular purpose. Do your research and only buy what you need!
How tall of a boot do you need?
The height of hunting boots can vary immensely. Generally, this is the section of the boot referred to as the upper section. The height of a boot is measured from the base of the boot's insole to the top of it. Some boots may only have a height of 9" while others may go all the way up to 17" or more.
When buying hunting boots, consider how tall you are and how far up your leg the boot will go. If they are too tall, you may find that your mobility will be severely limited.
Getting them on and off again
Another key item to consider when selecting a pair of hunting boots is how they go on and off. Do you want a pair of hunting boots with laces or ones that you can simply slip on and off? Depending on your needs, you may find that hunting boots with laces are more practical and offer greater versatility. There is also something to be said about the ability to simply slip your feet into a pair of hunting boots and be on your way.
One of the most common complaints about hunting boots is that they can be a challenge to get off once they are on. This is a beneficial feature for most boots since the last thing anyone needs is to lose a shoe in the mud and be unable to retrieve it. If you find that hunting boots are hard to remove once they are on, you may benefit from investing in a boot jack. This simple device allows you to remove your boots without having to bend over and wrestle each off your feet.
The Weight of a Good Boot
How much does a good pair of hunting boots weigh? The truth is that hunting boots can weight anywhere from as little as twenty ounces all the way to five pounds or more. This variation may not seem important, but once you are in the field it may make the difference between walking that next ridge and turning around. Add to this the idea that some hunting boots have a tendency to pick up mud as you go and may make them even heavier than their original weight.
One of the greatest qualities of any good hunting boot is its ability to last over time. Every hunter wants their hunting boots to last season after season, no matter the terrain.
When you are considering the options of hunting boots, make sure to look for the durability of the boots. How are they put together and what is their outer casing constructed of?
You need to consider what exactly you will be putting your boots through as well. It is a given that they will be exposed to the elements and that their ability to withstand mud and water will play a large part in their service to you. But what else may they have to endure?
Not all hunting grounds are flat fields with occasional muddy patches and streams. Some areas are full of jagged rocks and thick brush that has the ability to damage otherwise consistent boots.
Check for warranty information and any additional maintenance that may be needed in order to ensure your boots continue to perform well.
A good pair of boots ought to take on even the harshest of weathers while hunting out in the snow. So, how do you know if a pair of boots can handle it?Take a look at the manufacturer's description and see what they've done for insulation.
Usually, a good boot will have an insulating material that will keep the cold out and the heat in during the chilly winter days. Other than that, a well-crafted pair will have to keep your feet cool in the summer months for an all-year round function.
However, you have to buy a pair of boots with the level of insulation that corresponds with its intended use. A thickly insulated boot is the option for hunting expeditions that involve sitting in a tree stand in biting weather; or essentially activities that require little movement.
Conversely, a thinly insulated hunting boot is recommended for hunters who will have to move a lot during their trips. As such, a boot with just enough insulation will keep your feet warm, but not warm enough when the exercise produces too much heat.
There are three types of boot insulation:
Uninsulated to 200 grams – these boots have little or no insulation at all, this is a great option for high level exercise. This includes stalking elk, hiking, and a lot of running.
400-800 grams of insulation – this goes in between thick and thin insulation. For most hunters, this range is just right for a little bit of chilly weather.
1kg and greater – these boots are designed for little to no activity because they are very much insulated to protect from harsh weather, and these boots are also great for the harshest of winter days.
To conclude, a great tip is to buy two pairs of hunting boots: one with heavy insulation and another with lighter insulation. Because chances are, a single pair can't get you through all types of weathers.
Hunting boots can be classified into several types of boots. These types will have characteristics that are different from others as well as a specific function in hunting.
Upland boots – or otherwise known as hiking boots. These boots were made for light activity and made to maintain comfort and support for long miles of hiking.
High country boots – contrary to the upland boot type, these boots were made for heavy activity and terrains that are steeper, rougher, and higher. Undoubtedly, this kind of boots are made for big game hunters that do their hunting at high altitudes.
Overboots – this kind of boots can be slipped on for additional warmth during cold days.
Rubber boots – when hunting involves wading through a swamp or marsh, a good pair of waterproof boots can keep you as clean and comfortable as you possibly can.
All of these factors can play a major role in determining which hunting boots are the best fit for you. The usability of a good pair of boots stretches far beyond their actual fit. Remember to consider your needs and look for the highest quality in what you choose to buy.
There is a plethora of reviews and first hand accounts when it comes to selecting the very best in hunting boots.
Consider the testimony of Ron Spomer, someone who knows the ins and outs of the hunting industry.
So what are the Best Hunting Boots for you?
When you are picking out which hunting boots you think will work best for you, remember to consider what you are in need of. If I were to select a pair of hunting boots from the reviewed list above, I would have to pick the LaCrosse Men's Alphaburly hunting boots.
In my experience, a tall boot that has the versatility to fold down is one of the best items in my hunting repertoire. Added to that, this pair of boots is both waterproof and has the adjustable gusset giving me the option to either tighten or loosen the material around my calves as needed. For my money, this is the best boot on the market today.
Whatever your needs may be, always be sure to do the proper research and check with the experts who make it their life's work to know what makes a good hunting boot.

On average at least one woman a week is killed by a partner or former partner in Australia. One in three women will experience physical violence in their lifetime, while 1 in 4 will experience emotional abuse by a former or current partner. Women are at least three times more likely than men to experience violence from an intimate partner; of these women experiencing violence more than half will have children in their care.
It's clear: family and domestic violence is an issue in Australia.
After experiencing family or domestic violence, survivors are sometimes given support for the immediate crisis; things like emergency housing, access to financial aid, and personal care, but this support is limited. Often survivors are left to navigate a myriad of services and search for help alone; this can be a complicated, confusing and emotionally challenging process.
The Tara Costigan foundation helps victims of domestic violence, and their families rebuild their lives by providing a personal case worker for a period of up to 2 years - at no cost to them. Referred to as Tara's Angels, our case workers are tertiary qualified, with a minimum of 5 years experience in social work. Each Angel offers invaluable emotional and practical support.
The Value Of Regular Support
Regular monthly donations provide us with a consistent and sustainable income, this enables our angels to conduct their vital work. With your regular contribution we can commit ongoing support to survivors of family and domestic violence and work to place more angels within the community.
We understand that sometimes, things change and in the future you may wish to adjust the amount or timing of your regular gift.
You can cancel or change your donation at any time by contacting us at email@example.com.
We will send you a tax receipt at the end of each financial year, along with our regular newsletters and updates on the work of the Angels and the whole Foundation.
To become a regular giver to the Tara Costigan Foundation, please fill in this form.

This is an item I was super excited about, so I was thrilled when I got the notice that I would receive it for review. This is the Lapoth Cell White Oxygen Tone Up Sleeping Mask. Let's take a closer look!
Initial thought when I opened it: Wow, I am glad I didn't pay for this! It is hard to see in the photo below, but the jar is half full. I am sure it is by weight or settled in transit or whatever, but as a potential consumer, I was bummed. A smaller jar would make me feel like I had more product, even if I didn't.
It smells fairly strong, but it is a clean, fresh, sweet vanilla scent. The scent lingers when you apply the product, too.
It is a thick white lotion with a consistency similar to many sleeping packs I have tried. Make sure to use this as your LAST step, even over your regular moisturizer.
You guys! It bubbles!!!!! Not like the carbonated bubble mask bubble, but it feels like the little oxygens are popping in your skin. It is almost ticklish! The bubbling only happened for a few seconds and then it felt like the product settled down into my skin.
See the bubbling?
I slept with this mask on and woke up to very soft, noticeably plumper skin. Nice! However, since it is thick, there was some residue left on my skin. I used a cotton round with Micellar Milk Cleanser from Sephora to wipe my skin down (as I do every day before makeup) and my skin was perfect and ready to go!
I have only used this sleeping mask once but I loved it! From the gentle popping bubbles to the noticeable change in the morning after one use, I do recommend this and will continue to use it 2-3x per week or as needed.

Finding Comfort
S has these 2 dogs. She calls them her children. She loves those dogs with every fiber of her being. When the dogs hurt, she hurts. When they whine, its like her world is going to end. She loves them so much. She tells me about all they do together. She tells me they smile at her, they sing for her, and they talk to her. Hmmmm, I have to call bologna on that one, but hey, it each his own right. Who am I to judge? I have a dog and I love him, but I do talk to him like he is a person, but at the end of the day, I realize he is just a dog and not a human.
One of her dogs has cancer. He has a huge tumor growing near his hip, and he is in quite a bit of pain. His legs shake, he has no control over his bladder, and his skin is flaking off. The dog needs to be put down. The vet has told her this, her friends, and her family. But she can't put the dog down. One day she was crying to me in the parking lot (again) and I found myself getting really frustrated with her. She gripes about how she can't sleep at night because she is worried about money and the dog. She has spent thousands of dollars on this dog in the past 3 months. As she cried on my shoulder I found it harder and harder to give her comfort. All I really wanted to do was tell it to her straight, and have a little come to Jesus meeting with her. As she cried, I tried to figure out where my frustration was coming from, and why I had so little compassion.
Finally, I realized that she cannot put her dog down because that is where she finds her acceptance and her comfort. Suddenly, my frustration melted away and I understood her pain. I began to analyze what I would do if I were in her shoes.
I began to ask myself, where do I get my comfort? Where does my acceptance come from? Ideally, I want to say the Lord. I want to say that He is my source of comfort above all else, and that He is the one who I look to.
To be completely honest, I know that I cannot say that without a doubt. I get a lot of my comfort from P, my parents, and my friends. I look to them to fill me up when I am running low. There is nothing wrong with that, but I need my first priority, the first one I go to, the first one I run to to be the Lord. That is my prayer. That I continue to fall more and more in love with God. That He and He alone be the source of my comfort and my joy. For the next few weeks before Easter, this is going to be my prayer and my meditation.
Where do you find comforts from?

I am like you. I find comfort from Eric & my family, however I wish it was from God, too. He needs to be first and I don't have my priorities right, I guess. That's a good prayer to have before Easter. I hope you succeed (:

Loved this post, Allison... God brings me peace & when I'm feeling lost or need direction, I seek Him first. Every night before I go to bed I listen to a devotional, (I really like the Delve podcasts) but would like to start my day with Bible reading as well, and stick with it. It's a great way to start, and finish my day.

hmmmm, I had some nightmares and racing thoughts two nights ago - I actually surprised myself my praying right from the get go. Can I just say - it works too!!
p.s. - the nightmares I am pretty sure were from seeing The Hunger Games
I do know I need to pray more often and not just when I am in need either.

I find comfort in my family, boyfriend, friends, and surprisingly myself. I need to start going back to church but I do pray often. God used to be a huge part of my life and this is a good reminder to get back to that.

sadly, i think i get comfort from my running. too much of my self worth is tied up in race performance and not enough in God.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend and her dog. My mom's best friend's German pointer passed away from cancer (he was put down). For a week before that, she bought hamburger patties from Costco and just fed him every day. He seemed to have gone a happy dog.
Your friend might get comfort from the dog, but it's not fair to the dog to be suffering so much. I hope she makes the hard decision that she needs to make soon.

Hey! Just read your post on Michelle P's page! Thanks for posting your story! A friend let me borrow one of Dave Ramsey's books and that's when the whole "financial planning" came into focus for me. It still sometimes is a struggle not spending a few dollars here or there on little items, but Dave Ramsey's plan really has worked for us! Me and my hub are now six months into our Total Money Makeover and it's going well so far! Thanks for your post. I'm going to subscribe to you now!

Wow. I feel like a jerk. I should have read your post first before posting on here. I don't know how to delete my comment either to move it to a different post. I apologize sincerely for being rude.
I'm really sorry to hear about your neighbor's dog. We love our dog so very much too and it would be absolutely devastating if we found out our dog had cancer. This makes me upset to read and I really feel like a jerk for not reading your post first before I posted my previous comment.
I agree that I find my comfort in The LORD, I'm working on developing a devoted prayer life right now and speaking with Him often. Mainly, learning to listen and hear His voice and leading. Also I find comfort in my husband, dear friends, family, and our sweet pets.
We will keep her, her pup, and you in our prayers. I apologize again for being rude and posting before I read your post. Please forgive me.

14-Year-Old Boy Murders His Mother For 'Being Too Strict'
The son shot his teacher mom in the back of the head and then tried to frame a made-up suspect.
Just devastating. A 14-year-old boy from Orangefield, Texas snuck up behind his 46-year-old mother, Staci Lisenby on Feb, 20 and shot her at point-blank range in the head for "being too strict." The popular math teacher at Orangefield Junior High, who won teacher of the year in 2010, was alive when police reached her, but died later in the hospital.
Her youngest son, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was the only other person in the house when the incident occurred. The 14-year-old claims that he saw an intruder running out of the house after her heard the gun shot. He says he chased the suspect through the muddy and wet woods, but returned to the house to call the police after he lost him.
After police found no trace of a man running/walking to or from the house, they turned the investigation to the boy. Friends of the teen later told investigators that he had been talking about killing his parents, with one friend saying, the boy was "tired of how strict his parents were and that he intended on killing them both and then running away."
The boy's father was at church with his wife was shot and killed.
A number of guns were kept hidden and safe in the house, but Staci died from a .22 caliber bullet wound — a bullet from a .22 caliber pistol her son had possession of after he found in the attic.
The boy is now at a juvenile detention center after he gave himself up to police. Interestingly enough, attorney Wendell Odom Jr, who defended Andrea Yates, the Houston woman who drowned her five children in the bathtub in 2001, has been appointed as his lawyer.

Poler – the Worlds Highest Standard of Stuff is making a name for itself in an era that is mixing, matching and exploring different avenues within lifestyles. As a new brand, Poler's infancy is an exploration into the collective hearts and minds of skaters, snowboarders, photographers, designers, surfers and the lot that live in the moment, "What do I need? Ok, let's make that!" Poler isn't Mountain Hardwear or The North Face nor does it appear to have any intention of being either of them, for those brands play a more serious roll for outdoor enthusiasts who summit mountains and travel weeks on end into the backcountry. Instead, Poler brings a different, somewhat odd, but nevertheless fresh perspective with products that transcend the different aspects of their active lives. Their most impressive thought brought to fruition thus far is "The Napsack."
The Napsack is a sleeping bag that explores an idea every single one of us has had as a child growing up. It has zippers to free your arms and legs and draw cords that cinch just below the waist so you don't drag The Napsack through camp… or the house or the backyard or wherever. It even has a chest pocket. However ill conceived the design may seem to most traditionalists, that ingenuity shows true creative promise within a brand! Who cares if it isn't made with superior Goose Down Fill, or Gore-Tex? It doesn't need to be when you're enjoying a summer skate/camping trip along the coast or a High Cascade Snowboard Camp session or a quick one night jaunt into the woods for some much needed R&R. That's not to say that Poler doesn't strive to make the best and most quality product, they are after all "The Worlds Highest Standard of Stuff." Let's hope Poler continues to build upon their unfettered ideas and continue to bring us creative products that can travel with us wherever we go. Cheers!

The Design Business School
The Design Business School is a unique way to learn while you earn. It is an independent initiative developed by Greg Branson and Carol Mackay.
The program was created to keep design studios current with the changing role of design in business. And because it's hard finding time for professional development, at the same time as meeting the demands of a busy studio, we've combined the two.
