America's Got Talent

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
I am sitting here with my daughter contemplating if this show is getting to odd or inappropriate for us.  Don't get me wrong most of the acts are family friendly but I am beginning to think that they will allow anything now on TV.  I started thinking about this at the beginning of the season since they had 2 pole dancers but one being a male...it is just odd.  

The kicker was the last two weeks watching the West Springfield Dance Team.  Now I understand that their theme is horror dance but I had to turn the channel because I will not allow my daughter to see images like that.  They are talented dancers but they are scary looking and scary music!  :(  It just makes me think that Hollywood continues to break walls and break standards.  

Just venting because a show that I would think would be family friendly is starting to get my two thumbs down!!!

What are your thoughts?

We also had to turn the channel when the male pole dancer came on. The other day I thought it would be safe to watch a rerun of "Friends" while the kids played and STILL had to turn the channel because one of them was kissing another guy as an acting gig...but I didn't even want to have to explain it to my 5 year old grandson. We now watch Family Game Night A LOT because that's what he requests, and some of the shows such as Swamp People...but it's becoming increasingly hard to find Family Friendly shows. It just makes me sick. (by the way...my daughter was on her blog and trying to follow you back, and then somehow it linked to mine where I am following you instead!! She had to go back in hers and "follow" you again!! ) So, nice to meet you, I'm a Grandmother to two in Texas, and a mother to two as well!! :)

This is why we only have antenna and never watch anything but football. There is nothing safe for our families to watch anymore. Sad really...

I so agree with you. My daughter loves America's Got Talent, and I am glad we have a DVR. It's nice to fast-forward through the non-family friendly acts. My biggest struggle as of late is Howie's treatment of Piers. Okay, I know that Piers is arrogant and rude at times, but I generally agree with him. I have enjoyed the "feud" between Howie and Piers, but last week's antics really upset me. Even Piers called Howie out last week for not being respectful of the performing group. And then this week when Howie brought acts back on the show just to irritate Piers--not because they were good.

From the inception of the show, there have been non-family friendly acts--strippers, sword-eaters, songs with foul language--it just goes to show that you have to watch out for everything on TV. I think we're only in for more situations like this in the future.

By the way, I am planning to begin following you right after I finish this comment! I love your blog!

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

Win some Sweet Andy's Cookies

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
