Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is right around the corner.  I posted a few gift items that I liked last year (Mothers Day) and you know what?  My husband didn't take a single suggestion.  He bought me a necklace that we wound up returning and exchanging for something more my style.  Let's hope he takes my suggestions this year!  I know it's supposed to be the thought that counts but that's really not the case when it comes to jewelry now is it?
 
The first thing on my list this year is an Origami Owl necklace.  I love these things and I am planning to get my Mom one as well.  I already have all of the little gems picked out.  I was planning to just give the list to my husband to let him buy it.  Is that weird?
 
If you notice, I am including a charm for our new little boy.  I guessing he will be born in August.  I know this is awfully presumptuous of me but I can't help but think he will arrive early like his sister did.  So I'm taking the chance.  The nice part is that if he is born in September instead,  the charm is only $5.00 to replace and the locket is magnetic so it's easy to change! 
 
 
Then next item on my list is an addition to the charm bracelet we got last year.  I have a beautiful Charmed Memories bracelet from Kay Jewelers that has a lot of cute little pink stones and focuses on my daughter.  It has a little girl dangle charm and little foot charm.  Now I need the little boy charm.  I will need some other boy charms to add to it as well but I'm not sure which ones yet.
 
 
 
The next item on my list is a bit more classic.  Who doesn't love a cute picture frame?  Here's the catch, hubby.....you have to fill it with pictures!!  Yes, I know that's asking a lot but guess what...I take thousands of pictures of my daughter, many of which I send to you on a daily basis.  It won't kill you to actually put the pictures in the frame.  Otherwise, it's just more work for me!
 
 
And the last item(s) on my list is something that's a little more for me.  Well I guess it could be for all of us since the husband's stuff and the daughter's stuff usually ends up in my purse anyway.

 
Holy adorableness!  I love it!  Of course my husband cringes at the thought of buying something like this because of the price but I shop the outlets baby.  The set (purse, wallet and wristlet) costs $624.  Outlet price?  $371.  That's a savings of 40%!!!  How can you say no to that?!
 
What do you think of my gift ideas?  Are there any gifts that you've spotted that you would love to have?  What's your typical Mother's Day look like?

    Great ideas. I told hubby to just get me a charm for my pandora type bracelet.

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 ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
