ATTENTION FRIENDS & FAMILY! 🚨

So if you got a random text or email from my teen, Joel… don’t panic. 😂

No, he wasn’t hacked.

No, he’s not selling timeshares because we’re going broke. 🤪

And no, I haven’t entered us into a pyramid scheme (this time 😂).

His track coach basically said, “Hand over all the numbers and emails!” — so here we are. 💀🤣

BUT all kidding aside…

Joel made varsity winter track this year (proud mom here!), and each athlete has to raise $400. To help out, you can buy a super handy digital discount app for just $25 — and honestly, it’s pretty GOOD for:

🍔 - Restaurants
🛍 - Shopping
🎡 - Entertainment
🧽 - Car washes (that reminds me; my car is filthy. Eek)
🏨 - Hotels

Literally over a MILLION deals.

You just show the app and BOOM — you save money this season.

It’s Mom-approved for this holiday shopping season.

And, we’re all trying to save a little AND give a little. So if you can support Joel and his team, we’d be SO grateful. 💙

Only 21 days left, so share if you can!

Even one app purchase gets him closer to his goal.

Thanks everyone!! 💙🏃‍♂️✨

Go Rams!

Fundraising is crucial to the success of our program, and we are excited to announce the launch of our Nationwide Virtual Discount Card campaign on December 8th! Each athlete has set a goal of raising $400, and we need your help to ensure they achieve it.The funds raised will go directly toward cove...

This election night proved that we are the deciding force.

This is our moment! ❤️

Yesterday, we witnessed women rising, women winning, women changing the game.

Last night was a reminder that when women vote, the world changes.

Women who ran for the highest offices and city halls WON.

They made history.

They broke glass ceilings.

They opened doors.

They made the path easier for our daughters to dream bigger.

For too long, laws and traditions stacked the deck against women (especially women of color and young women).

But last night, young women showed up in force and they decided the results.

When young women lead turnout, change happens.

Their votes mattered.

And this matters because:

- When girls see women in office, they imagine themselves there, not someday, but now.

- Moms voting protects our families, our schools, our healthcare, our safety, and our fairness.

- This wave proves electing a woman President in the next election is real, not a wish, but a reachable goal, if we keep showing up.

So keep showing up.

Keep turning out.

Women are not just spectators… they’re voters, they’re influencers, they’re the backbone of democracy.

Talk to your friends.

Bring your daughters to rallies.

Volunteer for women running up and down the ballot.

Donate what you can.

Knock on one more door.

Vote in every primary and general.

This momentum must become a movement because the pipeline to the White House starts at City Hall.

If you believe in this, tag three women who inspire you.

SNAP isn’t the problem.

The problem is our broken system that forces millions to need it.

Truth talk here!

There are approximately 42 million people on SNAP.

The problem isn’t that they’re on it… the problem is why so many need it and who’s making sure they stay that way.

Because this isn’t about “lazy people” or “handouts.”

It’s about a system that keeps wages low while the rich rake in more than ever.

Between 1979 and 2013, wages for the bottom 90% of Americans grew only 15%, while the top 1% shot up 138%.

Today, the top 10% of households hold 67% of all U.S. wealth, while the bottom 50% barely hang on to 4%.

That’s what we call modern capitalism working exactly as designed (for the few at the top).

Now let’s look at the average SNAP benefit… it’s only about $187 a month per person.

C’mon people, that’s not luxury, that’s survival!

Here’s who actually receives SNAP:

- Over 60% are families with children

- About 37% are seniors or people with disabilities

- Nearly 73% live at or below the poverty line

- The largest racial group is white (35.4%), followed by Black (25.7%) and Hispanic (15.6%)

- About 89.4% of SNAP recipients are U.S.-born citizens; less than 11% are foreign-born

These are working people, single parents, retirees, veterans… not scammers.

While we’re busy policing poor people’s behavior, maybe look at the fact that billionaires hoard 30.8% of the nation’s wealth while the bottom half of Americans share a measly 2.8%.

So the real question isn’t “why are 42 million people on SNAP?”

It’s why do so many Americans need government help just to eat in the richest country on Earth?

I’ll tell you why…

It’s because wages are low, costs are high, and basic needs like healthcare, rent, and utilities eat up nearly everything.

And let’s not forget how corporate greed keeps the system rigged.

That’s what’s broken… not the people trying to feed their kids!

So stop pointing fingers at the hungry.

Start pointing them at the policies and politicians (looking at you, Republicans) who keep people hungry.

Tax the rich!

I am a momma bear… hear me roar! 🥰

I’m a Momma Bear.

I will protect my children until my very last breath.

I don’t take motherhood lightly.

My children are my everything, and I am fiercely protective of them.

But being a momma bear is also knowing when to rest and step away from this chaotic world.

It’s knowing how to set boundaries to conserve energy.

That’s what I’ve learned… that we have to protect our own, nurture our children, and mind our business at times to stay sane.

Sometimes the wisest thing we can do is

Hibernate. Rest. Reset. Recharge.

So yes, I’m a Momma Bear.

And I’m unapologetically focused on what matters most… my family. ❤️

Be a Momma Bear!

Protect, Nurture, Love Fiercely, And Never Apologize For It.

I can get behind this petition!

The “Pro-Family Safety” Initiative

Agree!

Look, I get it.

We don’t want to support Elon Musk because of his politics, and that’s fair.

But let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture here—more people driving electric vehicles (EVs) means fewer gas-guzzlers on the road, and that’s a win for the planet! 🌎

So If MAGA supporters want to purchase Teslas, let them.

Every Tesla on the road means one less vehicle spewing carbon emissions.

And for Democrats who don’t want to put money in Musk’s pocket, guess what?

There are plenty of other EV and hybrid options out there—Ford, Chevy, Rivian, Hyundai, Toyota, you name it.

The point is, we need to move away from fossil fuels, and however that happens, it’s good news.

What it will mean for our planet?

✅ Less Gas = Less Pollution

✅ As more renewable energy sources like wind and solar power our electricity, EVs will become even cleaner over time.

✅ Every electric car sold is a step toward reducing our reliance on oil, something both parties should be able to get behind.

✅ Battery Tech Is Improving!

At the end of the day, we need to transition away from gas-powered cars.

If Tesla is the answer for conservatives to embrace EVs, so be it.

If you don’t like Musk, buy a different EV.

But the reality is, we want this shift to happen, no matter who’s driving the change!!!

This isn’t about left or right. It’s about moving forward. 🥰

Ukraine never posed a threat to Russia!

That’s just another one of Putin’s lies.

Ukraine had no missiles pointed at Moscow, no NATO bases, and no aggressive military buildup—meanwhile, Russia was the one massing 150,000 troops on the border before the invasion.

And the real reason for this war?

RESOURCES (Aka: Minerals)!!

Ukraine is sitting on some of the richest deposits of minerals and natural gas in Europe—iron, lithium, coal, titanium, you name it.

Controlling Ukraine means controlling those resources, boosting Russia’s economy, and tightening its grip on energy exports.

This isn’t about security; it’s about greed and power.

And yet, here we are, watching Trump ambush Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy.

But make no mistake— Ukraine is the victim here of unprovoked aggression, and Putin is the tyrant orchestrating this violent land grab!

We, the real defenders of democracy, can actually help Ukraine.

By donating to reputable organizations, we can provide essential support to those fighting for their freedom.

Here’s how:

This needs to be shared!

What DEI Actually Is (and Isn’t)!

Let’s get something straight—DEI is about making sure workplaces, schools, and public spaces aren’t designed only for one type of person.

You know, because the world is made up of more than just straight, able-bodied white men. 😩

What DEI Actually Does:

🔹 Accessibility for All:
Ramps, sidewalk curb cuts, subtitles, captions, large-print materials, accessible public transit, and adaptive bikes—because people with disabilities deserve independence, not obstacles.

🔹 Basic Human Dignity:
Family restrooms, changing tables in men’s rooms, breastfeeding accommodations, and size-inclusive chairs and medical beds—because no one should struggle just to exist in public spaces.

🔹 Fairness in the Workplace:
Pay equity, salary transparency, parental leave, the right to return to your job after childbirth, and protection from workplace harassment—because equal work should mean equal rights, period.

🔹 Workplace Flexibility & Inclusion:
Reasonable accommodations for disabilities, remote work options, mental health coverage, employee resource groups, wellness programs, and floating paid holidays—because a one-size-fits-all work culture leaves too many people behind.

🔹 Respect for Personal Identity & Beliefs:
Preferred name usage, gender-inclusive policies, prayer/meditation rooms, multiple religious options in hospitals, and business policies that don’t force customers into digital-only transactions—because people deserve to be seen, heard, and accommodated.

🔹 Support for Kids & Education:
DEI isn’t just about workplaces—it directly affects schools too.

That means:

✅ Special education services for kids with autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities—without DEI, expect cuts to those programs.

✅ IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) and 504 Plans—because kids with disabilities deserve a fair education.

✅ School accessibility—ramps, elevators, sensory-friendly spaces, and adaptive tech—without DEI, those can disappear.

✅ Free and reduced school lunches—yes, that’s a DEI issue too.

✅ Anti-bullying policies and protections for LGBTQ+ kids, kids with disabilities, and kids of color—because no child should have to fear going to school.

Now, let’s talk about what DEI ISN’T—because some folks love making up nonsense:

🚫 DEI isn’t hiring an unqualified person just because they’re a person of color. That’s not how hiring works. Every single DEI hire has to meet the same (if not higher) qualifications as anyone else. Get that straight!

🚫 DEI isn’t about meeting some fake diversity quota. That’s actually illegal. Companies don’t get bonus points for hiring marginalized people—they do it because diversity leads to stronger teams, fresh ideas, and, oh yeah, because those people earned their damn spot!!

🚫 DEI isn’t new. It’s been around for decades under different names, making workplaces and public spaces better for everyone—including the very people now complaining about it.

If you think DEI doesn’t affect you, you’re wrong.

It touches everything—from whether your kid gets the support they need in school to whether your elderly parent gets fair treatment in the hospital.

Killing DEI doesn’t just hurt “other people.” It hurts all of us.

You’re making life harder for veterans, disabled workers, women, parents, religious minorities, and people just trying to get by.

Maybe even yourself!!
