I cannot believe this story. If you haven't heard, one of the original 13 colonies of our great United States allegedly has a law that will allow this mother to go free after killing her own baby. If you don't believe it, watch for yourself. I didn't believe it either when I first heard about this.
Please pray that this little girl will soon be found. She's been missing since June 26, 2009... over SIX months!
Here's the "Code Amber" 'stat' that was created to help find her on 6/29/09...
Code Amber News Service (CANS) issued this Missing Endangered person Alert after the girl went missing on Friday evening (06-26) while walking home from a friends house in McCleary Washington. McCleary is a small town of about 1,500 residents and is about 15 miles west of Olympia. There is no evidence of foul play in this case but the FBI is joining the investigation and search today (Monday 06-29). The FBI will also be bringing in additional law enforcement personnel to help in the investigation and search. No Amber Alert has been issued in this case.
Lindsey J. Baum a 10 year old white female, 4' 9" tall, 80 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a gray or blue hooded pullover sweatshirt, with blue jeans and black shoes.
There is no suspect information at this time.
There is no suspect vehicle information at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office at 360-249-3711 or dial 911.
She turned 11 years old since the time she was last seen. Her family celebrated their first Christmas without her. Please, please pray!!!
I don't know if there are records kept of this, but I know this is the longest that I've ever seen the Code Amber "Ticker" remain yellow.
So, my question to you is... will you bother to leave me a comment here or on my WP blog? Or, will you continue to simply "lurk"? If you choose to simply "lurk," that's fine. But, it would be nice to know what you think... You can remain anonymous if you so desire. My WP blog "requires" an email address, but all comments have to be approved by me anyway. And, I'm the only one who will see the email address. I will not post your email address anywhere without your permission. So, go ahead and comment away! Please? (Like I mention in my "Wishing For Insight" post, please don't make me resort to begging. )
I'm excited to be hosting the Homesteading Carnival again, even if I do feel a bit intimidated by the task. I'm not sure why I feel intimidated. I guess a lot of it has to do with my lack of skills in the homesteading department. -- LOL! However, I shall do my best to present the homesteading articles that were submitted for this week's carnival in an attractive way. Please let me know your thoughts!
Lori at Telling Secrets gives step-by-step instructions for "make it yourself Christmas #3 Candy Cane Ornaments." The picture makes these candy canes appear to be very difficult to craft, but the instructions include very clear photos. I might have to try this out myself!
Dana at Principled Discovery shares about "instilling mindfulness in our homeschool." She includes a quote from a book that tells of a homesteader's view of her family's "simplified life." She goes on to compare this to homeschooling her children and how she hopes they will take ownership in their own education. (I, too, hope my children will do this!)
Submit your blog article to the next edition of the homesteading carnival using the carnival submission form. They're always looking for new hosts; so if you'd like to host a carnival, please email them.
Next week's host will be Shannon at Mountaineer Country.
I am "hosting" these pictures on my blog. If you'd like to use them, please click on them and save them to your own computer. Thank you.

This meme was started by Shannon of The Peer Review. Here's the "basics" according to her website:
Loving My Husband Friday is for taking the time to focus on the positives of marriage. A time to build up your marriage and your spouse. Focus on something you love about your husband, something he did to encourage you this week, or just a tip on how to keep your marriage strong. Let your husband know you're bragging on him...everyone loves praise and accolades. Try to spend the rest of your week focusing on all the great traits of your spouse...especially when you're tempted to focus on the bad! And don't forget to pray for your husband and marriage as you write your post.
Has it really been three weeks since my last "Loving My Husband Friday"?! So much has happened, and my hubby has been so helpful in the midst of it all! Thank you, Sugar Pie!
My aunt & uncle passed away.
I flew to DFW to be w/ my 'extended' family for a few days.
My hubby stayed behind to care for our children and to work while I was gone.
I love my husband for being willing to send me to DFW to be w/ my 'extended' family and for being willing to put up with take care of our children for several days (including a weekend) in my absence. Thanks again, Sweetie!
