Hi All,
I'm a blogger loser.
I keep making mental notes in my brain of things I want to blog about and I keep not making time to blog about them. Here is a basic recap of the last couple of weeks.
1. I'm addicted to baking soda and vinegar as a household cleaner. I scrubbed both of the rings around Jane's tub (the ring from where I fill the water and the ring from where Jake fills the water) off in THREE minutes. It may not have even taking that long.
2. I'm dying to get my hands on a kitchen aid stand mixer. I would almost consider donating a spare kidney for one of the professional grade machines (I'm sure I use the kidney less than I would use the mixer... right?!).
3. The cost of "Positive Discipline: Birth to Three Years" should be written into the cost of every woman's hospital stay. We should also be tested on it periodically to make sure that the book is being read. If every parent would read this book I think we would see a DRASTIC change in our society 20 years from now. I love this book so much I want to invite the authors to Tallahassee so I can kiss their feet.
4. I've been keeping track of all the fun words that Jane pronounces incorrectly. Here is a list:
-"Eleflu" or Elephant
-"copcorn" or popcorn
-"manga" or gramma
-"monka" is monkey
-"tire" is tiger
-"night" is snow white
-"a roar" is aurora
-"la" is cinderella
-"daiyu" is Jasmin
and a bunch more.
5. I am so far into my pregnancy that I am going MORE than once a month. I can't believe it has all gone by so quickly. I'm at the point now where I can push my stomach and actually feel body parts. That is such a fun stage because when the baby sleeps close to the skin (as opposed to the spine) I can push little legs and arms around while he sleeps. I used to do this with Jane all the time. It wakes the baby up pretty much every time you do it.
6. Jane turned TWO!! I can't believe it! We had such a fun birthday party. She asked for a Princess party so that is what she got. One of her friends came over and they fingerpainted together. Then she ate cake and opened presents with the family. Almost everything she got had Disney Princesses on it.
7. AND FINALLY, I've been thinking about getting my kids a standard investment gift every year but I don't know which would be better: stocks, bonds, mutual funds or a deposit into a high yield savings account.
What do you guys think???

With the way the banks and the market are right at the moment, I would go for bonds or mutual funds.
Kitchen Aides are AMAZING! We have one. It's red. AND HUGE! I love,love, love it! Definitely MUCH better then a hand mixer. Especially if you're making lots at one time. I burned out the hand mixer just on mixing cookie dough. Was NOT cool. So, the Kitchen Aide is so worth the investment. And you'd use it much more then your kidney. I mean, hey, you have two right?
You know how I feel about this....first your e-fund, then a Roth IRA, then some no load mutual funds.
Now get to it--chop chop!!
