Welcome!

During this entire election I’ve found myself restraining from comments (which if you’re reading this blog then you know me and you know that restraining myself from commenting on politics or anything for that matter is very difficult for me to do). That being said I’ve respected the average reader of my family blog is there for updates on my cutie family (it is a very cute family don’t you think?). So I’ve decided I need a sounding board for all the moments when I have something to say that has nothing to do with my family and I’ve started up my new blog “Heathers outlook”. This is a blog based 100% on Heather’s outlook on politics and the latest news I feel is worth mentioning. This isn’t the place you’ll find pictures of Byron & me basking in the sun on a Caribbean Beach, or JP accomplishing his next milestone. This is me uncut, uncensored (which even uncut & uncensored will still be rather boring to some of you) and ready to talk. I welcome commentary from anyone as long as it remains civil and not offensive to other commenter’s… you won’t offend me I’m a pretty tough cookie. So with that being said… let the fun begin!
