Pants Sunday- Sammy's take

I honestly had no idea that this Sunday was officially "Wear Pants to Church Sunday" Sammy told me actually. And he was a very confused man. So I read the article, which started off saying women are all wearing pants to church this sunday to combat gender stereotypes and such. I know I'm not paraphrasing everything correctly, but bear with me. 

So Sammy was like, explain this to me, I don't understand why this is such a big deal. And I had no idea what to explain. It says no where that women can't wear pants to church. It just says to dress your best. So, uh, good luck with your pants I guess? I personally love getting to wear skirts every Sunday. I feel more apt to experiment with outfits and such and express myself! I love getting all dressed up and spiffy! I just don't get that feeling in pants. But that's just me. I'm not going to go looking at other woman weird if they're wearing pants to church. In the long run, church is not about what we wear, it's about worshipping Christ and Heavenly Father and such. Which is partly why I stopped wearing such crazy outfits like this. 

Stripes, flowers, and heart socks.

Back to Sammy. So we discussed the article and such. And then he said, Man, growing up Catholic, these LDS woman have got it GOOD! His reasons? "It's only the priests who give talks on certain subjects, I mean the woman can read a verse or lead the clergy in song but that's it. They don't give their own talks like priests do. The only position woman hold is as a nun. That's sort of like relief society but not really. But when I look at the LDS church woman just do more. From giving talks to organizing things, to just having a more influential presence. And being a nun can't even compare to the relief society. Only a small percentage of woman are nuns but everyone is a part of the relief society."

I thought that was so cool. I think it's pretty awesome that Sammy knows the word relief society, much less about it and how it works. High five! 

So there you have it. There's an almost converts perspective on pants Sunday and all that comes with it.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
