Since someone took the wind out of my sails with this blog, I have decided to start blogging fashion and celeb gossip at Momma Magpie again. There are so many reasons for this, but I don’t want to get into all of that.
I miss being able to blog about my babies on Stepherz. It really was the purpose of this blog. But over the years, it sort of got away from that– with the reviews, with the fighting, with the change of heart with posting pics of the kids on here, etc…The energy of this blog changed, and I feel like it didn’t represent me anymore.
Sooooo, if you’re interested in Celeb gossip, fashion, or if you just like the way I write, follow me at Momma Magpie! It’s a terrible shallow and sometimes bitchy blog. But, you’re welcome to come and I’d love to see you there!

Can you spot me? This was my first pageant, Miss FTS 1991. I was in the top 10 out of 120 girls! But I was a total dork with really big hair, top 10 or not.
This is me with my cousins in England. We grabbed my grandmother’s sister’s undies off the line. Again… Dork. Do you see my hair!? I TRIED to make it look like that! Circa 1990.
Lastly, here’s a pic of me, my grandmother, and my sis back in about 1992.
While we’re on the subject of companies not doing right by us, Do you know about Phenoxyethanol? The FDA issued a warning about it: “Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that is primarily used in cosmetics and medications. It also can depress the central nervous system and may cause vomiting and diarrhea”. Yet it’s used in thousands of products, even the ones you trust are “natural”.
In Europe, skin care and cosmetic companies boast that they are Phenoxyethanol Free. We need to get it together!
What gets my goat is that the skin is the largest organ we have, why is the government not taking it more seriously that millions are slathering this on their skin every day? If there isn’t currently a safe way to preserve these products, why would you preserve them with something unsafe instead of doing studies to find something more suitable? Companies have gotten away with saying they are “natural” and we all eat it up thinking we are doing right by our bodies and our children’s bodies. But there are LOTS of herbs, essential oils and extracts that are dangerous, even life threatening if used improperly, so just because it isn’t a “chemical” doesn’t mean it’s safe!
You should join our cause. There is strength in numbers! Let’s get Phenoxyethanol out of the products we use on our families!
Visit our website: www.moms-and-men-against-mercury.org
You can visit the site to learn about companies that DO NOT USE Phenoxyethanol. That will help you make wise choices in skin care, cosmetic, and detergents you use for your family.
And visit us on Facebook!
Help us spread the word, get informed and involved, ask me how you can help! It’s up to us to demand that the products we use be safe for our families. If we all close our eyes and turn our cheeks to this, we have no one else to blame.
And if you are a fellow blogger, please link to our website and then come back and add a comment and link showing that you shared this information on your blog. I’ll send you some “happy mail” in return!
Thanks guys!
