Eating for 2? Well one is less than 10 lbs, so they don’t need to eat much…

“Among the advice:

_A normal-weight woman, as measured by BMI or body mass index, should gain between 25 and 35 pounds during pregnancy. A normal BMI, a measure of weight for height, is between 18.5 and 24.9.

_An overweight woman — BMI 25 to 29.9 — should gain 15 to 25 pounds during pregnancy.

_An obese woman — BMI of 30 or higher — should gain 11 to 20 pounds. This marks the first recommendation ever set for women so heavy.

_An underweight woman — BMI less than 18.5 — should gain 28 to 40 pounds.”      By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer Lauran Neergaard, Ap Medical Writer

Very progressive, especially for a meat and potatoes country!



{May 28, 2009}   Riddle of the day…

What pays for itself, and starts making you $$$$ after 20 uses?

Why a reusable shopping bag of course! The $1 bags at grocery stores pay for themselves in 20 uses when used at either Bashas or NF’s . Safeway is a bit slow on paying it forward in this case…

So, what is stopping you? Don’t have ONE DOLLAR to spare? It is one of the easiest cheapest ways to help save the world. And paper is almost as bad as plastic, is takes a lot of energy to make paper bags….



{May 27, 2009}   Prop 8 in CA… NO H8

Being FM, since my identity is secret to many I get to be pretty vocal, without offending some of my more conservative acquaintances IRL.

One thing that has always puzzled me was when straight people think gay marriage makes marriage somehow less meaningful. I am pretty darn secure in my marriage, and no one elses marriage affects mine.

Here’s the thing, marriage should not be linked to religion. So if gay marriage is “wrong” because homosexuality is wrong, then is my marriage wrong, because I am an Agnostic, and I am “going to hell” for not believing in God? Who cares?  I can understand a church that feel gay marriage is wrong choosing not to perform gay weddings, but wasn’t this country based on a separation of church and state? Then why is who gets married being decided by the state based on religious views? I don’t live my life according to the bible, so why should the bible in a country FOUNDED on religious freedom govern me? I am an honest, hard working, loyal & good person. I raise my daughter to respect ALL people, even when she doesn’t agree with them, to be kind to  all living creatures, to be well mannered and polite, to do unto others, to apologize and be truly sorry for her mistakes,etc. Religion does not teach children to be better people, their parents do. Why does religion teach us a whole group of people, “gays” are wrong? A religion that preaches love and tolerance to all? One of my best friends in elementary school was gay. We knew he was different than the other boys, we just did…. In first grade he hung out with all girls  (my little clique), played my little pony with us,etc. Does a 1st grader have the mental capacity to choose something like being gay? NO! If they did 1st graders crimes would be convicted as thought they were adults, and that sounds ridiculous, right? Being gay is not a choice… Did I wake up one day and say “I want to be straight”? NO! I just am, because I was born that way. I just am. Why would gays CHOOSE to be a minority group that faces hate, discrimination, violence, etc? Do we chose our race? NO.

I was raised Catholic, I went to CCD every week, but when it came to being Confirmed, I was given a choice. Because I had a difference of opinion from the church on many issues, I felt like being Confirmed would have been a fraud. The hate against gay people is why I am Agnostic, not the only reason, but a main one. I refuse to teach my daughter God loves all his children, except for gays, or non-believers, or…. If God is all forgiving, then why shouldn’t ALL people be forgiven? All major religions are based on the same principle, do unto others. Muslims, Buddhists, Mormons, etc.  WWJD? Would he protest against gay marriage, or just let people be?



So we LOVE our Plan Toys non-toxic, reclaimed wood kitchen. We got a few brands of food to use with it. Here are my thoughts….

  • Plan Toys- I LOVE ALL OF THEIR STUFF PERIOD!
  • Melissa and Doug- They have really cute sets, we love the Cookies, Suchi, and Birfday Cake.They don NOT hold up well at all though. They chip really quickly!
  • Green Toys Cookware and Tea sets are amazing! BPA and Phalate free, food safe and made of reclaimed milk jugs, MADE IN THE USA!


There is a great list of sunscreens and dishware! I use chemical free sunscreen and they are pretty hard to find! She lists a bunch!
