A Few New Things...

First off, I have 15 followers!  I am so grateful to have more followers.  I can't even tell you how great it makes me feel to know that people want to read my blog.  Through all of the linking up I have been doing, I have 15 followers and I have found a TON of new blogs to read.  I am really enjoying reading them all every day!!

In case you don't believe me..........................

I know 15 doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot to me.  It means the world to me to have people interested in my life. 

The second change is that I added a new page.  It's my Summer Bucket List.  I posted this list a little while ago but I know that I will forget about it so I added it as a page.  Now I can actually cross things off as I do them. 


I have already crossed one thing off the list and I hope to cross them all off by the end of the Summer!  I guess the end of the Summer would be September 21st so I have until then.  And if I don't get them all crossed off my list?  Well then I'll add them to my Fall bucket list.  I see a re-occuring theme here!

I hope you are all enjoying reading my blog as much as I am enjoying writing it!

      Thanks! I think everyone should have come kind of bucket list. I might give my blog a facelift once I've hit a certain number of followers. I feel very lucky to have 15!

      I can't wait to add more kid-friendly things to the list but how much can a 7 month old really do? Looking forward to better lists in the future.

    New followers are always so exciting! I get thrilled every single time I see my number go up by one. (Of course, I also get super sad every time I lose one.) It's so fun to know there are people out there staying in touch with your life!

    I had 15 followers for a whole year and I thought that was like the best thing ever. I had never done a link up before until probably May/June this year and that's when I really started getting some followers!

      Yes! I only had 2 or 3 since I started my blog and then when I started linking up (only a few months ago as well) I started getting more! It's very exciting! And I'm so glad to have found a 'Daddy blogger' to provide some perspective on things!

    We like to read stuff we like, haha! Lol. I am a mommy/lifestyle blogger. I blog over at "Raising Four While Keeping Sane." I hope that you will come by & say hello some time in the future. Your little girl is so cute. I had my last on Jan 26 this year. We've got an 11 year old girl, twin 8 year old boys, & the surprise! Lol. Looking forward to reading more on your blog.

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 ...
