DS wasn't that interested in eating it. Even if he was I wouldn't have let him eat that much. It's not a pie-eating contest.

Monkey see monkey do.

If she did anything original I think we'd all drop dead. God she gets on my last nerve. And she's ugly too.


For your sake I hope she stops including you in your grandkid's life events.

Ugh. You give your baby GLUTEN on its birthday?

Just kidding. I'm a total hippie but I think you're taking this a little too far.

What's a push present?


A gift the husband/dad gives mom for pushing the baby out.


21:25 here. I just went and asked my husband why he didn't give me a push present. He asked me what it is and I explained. He said "well you had a c section."
