FEATHERING OUR NESTS: O-MAMA’s Perspective on SPRING CLEANING

Spring is in the air.  The birds and the bees are flitting around doing their thing…nature abounds.  The birds are feathering their nests and laying their eggs, while the bees are busy pollinating every flower in the garden.  The air is crisp and clean.  Chirping and buzzing fills the air.

Everything seems fresh and new.  So, let’s take a new look at Spring, shall we? The first thing that comes to mind is cleaning. Ugggh.  But, let's talk about the birds and the bees instead...the part of the story that happens...

ELEPHANTS ON PARADE: Are You Going To Watch The GOP Debate In Orlando Tonight?
Walt Disney

Not exactly Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Mickey, Goofy and friends, but entertaining nevertheless...there is another Republican debate tonight in Orlando, FL.  Regardless of your political persuasion, it's important to know where the candidates stand on the issues YOU care about.  In Walt Disney's famed Dumbo, the MAMA elephant was protective of her baby with big ears.  He was misunderstood and ridiculed, but Dumbo ended up showing them all - he opened his ears and flew. Dumbo's perserverance and determination defined the enduring and inspirational elephant.

So, MAMAs, watch it, record it and/or listen to it and let's chat about it, because the best thing we can teach our KID-Os about our democracy is that "we get the government we deserve."  If we don't vote, or we vote for candidates that we don't know much about, our government won't represent us.  MAMAs stay engaged, read about the candidates, listen to their policy views and form your own opinions based on what's in the best interest of your family.  We must make sure they have the character traits we want before they take off!

We'll be snuggled up watching from the second "happiest place on earth!" Hope you will be, too. (-:
