I voted...Did you?



Jeremy and I made sure we hit the poles today. We are a "split" house but I truly do believe that every vote counts! Olivia is only 17 months, but I want her to grow up knowing and understanding how important it is for her voice to be heard. I don't want her to just vote for who Jer or I vote for, I want her to do the research and vote for what SHE believes in. 

I'm not going to lie, I can not wait for the election to be over. I am sick of the hatred going around on facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. I think it is GREAT to be passionate and voice what you believe in, but I think it is WRONG to tear others down when you don't agree with their opinions. There are respectful ways to "debate" but like I said I will be very glad when this is all over! :)

I hope you all went out and voted! I am glad I went as an informed voter, not only about our presidential candidates but also about local government and the proposals as well!

I'm sick of this too! It's awful! Bashing each other is setting us back!

Is it bad all I could focus on in this post was your winter clothes and those adorable leopard print shoes? We were still sweating today here!! :(

I completely agree with you... my kids are a bit older and we had many discussions this year about the different topics. I always stress the importance of educating yourself and voting for what you believe in. I waited until after work to vote so that they could go with me... I want them to see and feel the importance of that!

I completely agree, it was so sad reading all the hateful and judgmental posts on facebook and twitter! I couldn't stand it but it was like a train wreck and I couldn't really look away....
