OK, on to this week’s Mommy tip…

Drink More Water

This is for Moms too….Water is vital for MANY reasons. However, if you have teenagers, you will want them to drink a lot of water to help prevent skin issues that they seem to be vulnerable to. Have your children drink half of their body weight in ounces of water each day. They will age better, have better skin, less blemishes, and be healthier over all. If they give you flak about it, try rewarding them with something small at the end of each day/week for drinking their proper amount of water.

Getting the Knots Out

If you have girls, then you know the trial of getting knots out. Especially if your daughter has longer hair! Well, I have a great tip that my hair dresser friend gave me. Start at the bottom. Yep, that simple. Take chunks and start brushing at the very bottom of the hair and work your way up. Before you know it all the knots are out with minimal to no tears. It works. Really!

The Women – Movie Review

March 2, 2009 By Faith_Mom 2 Comments

Movie Title: The Women
Rating: PG-13
Director: Diane English
Staring: Meg Ryan; Annette Bening; Eva Mendez; Debra Messing; Jada Pinkett Smith; Bette Midler; Candice Bergen and Carrie Fisher.
Category: Drama

Moms of Faith Rating: Horrible!

Intro: The Women features an all star cast of women actresses. I was surprised that with so many great actresses the movie stunk.

Review: The Women was a horrible film. Considering how many seasoned actresses this film had, I expected better acting. Unfortunately, it did not deliver. There was no real meat or plot in the film either. It just plain stunk for lack of a better word.  Seriously, I felt convicted that I even watched the whole movie. It was a terrible terrible film.

Cons: There were so many bad things about this movie that honestly, the whole movie is a “con.” However, for the sake of this review, I will do my best to separate the really bad fron the just plain bad.

There were a lot of sexual comments, several lesbian scenes, lesbian sex comments, a warped view of marriage and what sex is really about, an overpowering feminism spin, and immorality was everywhere. Men were not even in the film…which I found rather alarming from a Christian perspective.

God’s name is used in vain and there are over a half a dozen “S” words and several other not nice words as well.

Conclusion: This movie has an extremely world view with far too much female power for a conservative Bible believing woman’s to stomach!

Other than the use of God’s name in vain, there is no real God even in the film. It is a world of sinful women where men are held with no value, are bashed, put down and degraded at every turn.

I strongly recommend that you never ever ever see the women. You will not only waste your time, I am certain the Holy Spirit that abides in every child of God will be grieved!
