Holiday Linkup!

Linking up with Sarah for

What's your favorite holiday movie?  Hands down....Elf.  I thought the movie was dumb the first time I saw it but that's usually how I feel about all Will Ferrell movies. 
 
 
Do you have any special traditions?  Aside from putting all of the decorations up right before or after Thanksgiving, not really. 
 
What's your favorite ornament or decoration?  My favorite ornament is the baby shoe that has my daughter's birth information engraved on it.  My favorite decoration is the giant gingerbread train I got a few years ago.  It lights up and is glittery and adorable!
 
 
Best gift you've ever received?  My daughter came 2 weeks before Christmas last year so she has been the best gift I have ever received.  Aside from her, my adorable little pugger Katie and my iPod rank in the top. 
 
Favorite winter accessory? Scarves.  I have a ton of different scarves and I love to wear them!
 
Real or fake tree?  We have a fake tree but we might consider a real one next year.  That might be a new family tradition.
 
When and how did you find out that Santa was not real?  I found out when I was 5.  I was digging through a box of wrapped gifts my parents had in their bedroom and found a gift that was to me from Santa.  Even at 5 I knew what the hell that meant and I was pissed!  But I didn't tell my parents I knew for quite some time because I thought I'd get in trouble for going through the gifts!

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 ...

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...

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 ...
