Oh, So That's Why



I read an article today that talked about five foods to eat to help you get sleepy. I frequently have trouble falling asleep at night so I thought maybe I'd get some tips, and I love food. Here's the list:

1. Cherries
2. Bananas
3. Toast
4. Oatmeal
5. Warm milk

What I learned was not ways to help me feel sleepy, but why I feel so sleepy during the rest of the day; I eat four out of the five items for breakfast everyday! Those are some of my favorite foods. I mean, I have a big mug 'o chai everyday, which is 65% warm milk. Who knew I was feeding myself sleepy foods right when I'm supposed to be waking up and feeling alert and ready for the day? So now I need to google "Foods to help me wake up" and eat those for breakfast. And come midnight when I'm tossing and turning, I will enjoy my breakfast then.



Yum.

my mom would put me to sleep with a banana. 1. i got hungry in the middle of the night (every night) 2. it's a sleepy food. It was genius! Julie you should try melatonin it really helps with getting you to sleep, I don't know if pregnant people can take it (sarah, not julie)

Also for bug bites rub banana peel on them to stop the itching! it really works.

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
