1.  What do you look forward to more: the food, football or parades?
-----Hands down the food.  My Mom only makes dried corn on the holidays and I look forward to that so much.
 
2.  What is your favorite non-traditional Thanksgiving Day dish?
-----We don't really eat anything that is non-traditional.  We usually have mashed potatoes and stuffing, turkey and ham, veggies like corn, carrots, dried corn and green beans and sometimes we add some broccoli and cheese.  And rolls of course.
 
3.  After dinner, is it football or a nap?
-----Neither....cleaning up is usually right after dinner.  The men go and watch football (typical!) while the women clean up and gossip!  After that, you may or may not find me curled up asleep somewhere.  We'll see this year, though, since it's Baby Girl's first Thanksgiving!
 
4.  Do you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?  Which is your favorite float?
-----We don't really watch it.  One TV usually has it on but we don't really sit and watch it.  That means I don't have a favorite float but maybe I will sit down and watch it this year and see if I can choose a favorite float.

5.  Where do you go to celebrate and eat your big meal?  Who is there (family, friends)?
-----We celebrate Thanksgiving with my Dad's side of the family.  They usually change which house we have it at each year, alternating between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  This year it is at my Mom and Dad's house.
 
6.  What is your favorite turkey day dessert?
-----Anything pumpkin!  I usually make a pumpkin pie or a pumpkin roll but this year I am going to try making pumpkin roll sandwiches.  They are going to be awesome!

Link up and share your Thanksgiving plans with us!!

  2. Yes, cleaning up is what I get to do after the meal, too. :) What woman in America gets to take a nap?!

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
