This weekend I got a recommendation that could quite possibly be the best purchase recommendation to date. It’s called the maternity belly support belt. I know it sounds cheesy but I’ve heard that it could help alleviate one of the problems that has caused me to curb my running. So I bought it and had an opportunity to try it out tonight. All I can say is that I ran for 20 straight minutes. Something I haven’t been able to do since the fourth month. It wasn’t fast but I’m not winning any races any time soon. I was so excited to be able to run, even for a little bit.
I’ve also been thinking some more about what to decorate the little guy’s room with. I’ve looked at paintings online that are mass produced and while they are nice, I don’t feel like I’d be spending money on anything that he could be proud to own. Then I remembered a few local artists that might have some possible options. I’ve reached out to them to see what might be available but here are some samples of their work.
Hey Katie, did you decide on artwork?

Charles Houska is Pro-Abortion and just recently helped raise $13,000 for Planned Parenthood by auctioning his work at Choice Art.
Craig Downs is an atheist and only paints religious figures and other characters because he doesn’t believe in them, hence the odd colored animals and fairytale like scenes. I think he also knows what people will buy so he paints what is marketable at the time.
Do you really want to surround your son with art from those types of artists?
Thanks J, I’m actually going to go support Charles Houska because of that info. And Craig’s a good friend of mine.
And another thing: no one is “pro-abortion.” What a loaded statement, as though all of us pro-choicers are sitting around, going “hooray abortions!” Please, no one WANTS there to be abortions; the point is it’s a personal choice. Much like there’s not much you can do about the rape or violent crime statistics–things happen. I’m sure that’s what Jesus would do, though–manipulate artists out of pay. God loves when humans judge other humans, doesn’t he? Funny, atheists are some of the most sincere and kind-hearted people I know. Because they don’t have a god or some deity’s opinions to hide behind or use as an excuse to preach whatever their own personal doctrines might be. If an atheist judges another human, it just makes them an asshole. If a Christian does it, apparently it’s doing the work of Christ. I’m so sure.
