Commenting Challenge: Day 5 - Last Day!!


Today's Topic:

Tell us about your dream vacation!

Where would you go? Have you been there before? Who would go with you? What about it draws you in?

This is the easiest question for me to answer!!  I have always wanted to go to Italy.  I can't remember how old I was but I remember thinking how cool it was that you had to travel by Gondola in some places.  That's what really drew me in.  I just thought it was so romantic.  And then as I got older, I realized that there was so much history in Italy.  So many beautiful buildings to see.  So many amazing cities to visit. 

I mean, just look at all of the amazing things you can see!!!!

Florence

Venice

Verona

Naples

Milan

Rome

This would be my dream vacation.  Of course I hate to fly so the 8-10 hour flight would really suck but they serve alcohol on the planes right?  HA!  I also always feel so out of my element whenever we go somewhere far away.  When my huband and I were younger, we did an all inclusive trip to Mexico.  While we both agree it was our best vacation ever, I felt SO out of place.  I felt the same way when we went to St. Thomas on our honeymoon last year.  We had a GREAT time but I felt so strange being away from home.   

Realistically, I would just love to go anywhere right now.  We could really use some kind of vacation, even if it's just a 2 hour trip to the beach for the weekend.  That's one of the great things about living in Metro Philadelphia....you can get to the beach pretty quickly.  I think the time of us going to Italy is over for now.  I want to go places with my kids and I want us to experience new things as a family.      

What's your dream vacation?

I had a great time participating in this commenting challenge and I found some really great blogs to follow!  I am thankful for all of the people who commented on my pages and who are now following me.  I look forward to getting to know you all better!

    I would TOTALLY go to Italy too...but the language barrier scares me. I would hate to be lost or need something and not be able to communicate.

      Hmmm...good point. Don't forget to pack the English/Italian dictionary!

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 ...
