Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is fast approaching.  Here are a few gifts I've had my eye on.

I posted this one last Mother's Day.  I got one of these for my Mom and I'm still wanting one for myself.  It's an Origami Owl Living Locket.  I love them!

I always have a hard time with key chains.  For some reason, they always break on me.  So I found this cute key chain that I would love to have engraved!

I've also been wanting a locket for a long time.  I don't want a typical Mom locket, I want something different and something that is my style.  I'm kind of in love with this marcasite locket so I'm hoping for this one.

I started following Jessica Designs on Instagram and I'm hooked!  I love her spoons and I really want the 'you are my sunshine' spoon.  I think I'm going to buy the 'dear mom' spoon for my mom!

I also believe I'm going to make these candles and give them to my mom from my kids.  I think they are so adorable and they look pretty easy to make.

And I fully intend to do a print of this myself and frame it for my mom.

So that's it.  Some nice home made cards would be awesome but my husband isn't exactly crafty so I'm not banking on that!  What kinds of gifts would you like for Mother's Day?

    I love the frame idea! The candles look a little out of my league, but I agree with the locket thing. I like monograms and all that but I need something kind of modern looking. I like the one you got for your mom! My mom has 5 kids & 2 grandkids..it might be a little crowded lol

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 ...
