Inspiring Blog Award

Jennifer at Life As I Know It nominated me for the

I tell you seven random fact about me and then nominate 15 other bloggers who will hopefully do the same.

Seven Random Facts: (different from the Liebster award facts)

-On the rare occasion that I eat waffles, I always eat two, one with butter and sugar and one with butter and syrup. It's just a weird habit.

-I think ranch dressing is gross but I like ranch flavored things, like Cool Ranch Doritos.

-It's not worth it for me to order a sub from anywhere because I don't like all of the extra crap they put on it. I like ham and mayo. That's it. (I will order a sub once in a while, though, because there is just something different about the taste that you just can't get with a homemade sandwich)

-I can literally feel my heart ache whenever I think about my daughter and her first dance recital or learning to drive or going to prom. Can't she just stay little forever?

-Whenever I find shoes that I actually like, I always buy them in brown and black. I have left the house with one of each color on my feet before.

-I'm not a big fan of shopping anymore. I used to be. I used to love hunting stores for the best bargains. Now? I like to order online. It's a win for all because shopping online doesn't make me want to punch other idiot shoppers in the face.

-While I strongly believe in disciplining your child, I don't believe in doing it in front of others. By all means, spank that little heathan's butt, but please do it in the bathroom where I can't see you and silently judge you from afar.

My nominees:

I am nominating EVERYONE! I don't care how big or small your blog is. Everyone deserves to know how great their blog is.

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 ...
