For a period, I would notice while doing laundry that my DS's shorts and pants had a sticky substance inside the pockets. Upon closer inspection, I determined that the stickiness was caused by globs of jam.
One day, I sat down my DS and asked him how jam had ended up in his pockets. Reluctantly, he told me that he and his friends had discovered that it helped them grip the monkey bars without slipping. He also added that it made for "a good snack later." read more

Today my DD asked me if she was inside of me when she was a baby. After I told her yes, she asked if her younger brother had been inside of me as a baby, too. When I said that he was, she declared "WELL I WAS A FINE LEADER." read more

My DH has always had an interest in cars, but his discovery of an online discount auto parts store has turned his interest into obsession. We have planned to remodel our kitchen for years, but his excessive spending on discount auto parts online has pushed this back even further.

Pregnancy and stretch marks go hand-in-hand for many a mother, and are there for life unless action is taking while they are still raw and purple in color. It is during the fresh period that the marks can be minimized by using lotions, especially ones rich in shea butter. The more moisture that can be introduced to the stretch mark, the better. Shea butter is one of the richest emollients available and is perfect for minimizing stretch marks as they heal.
Moms to be can use shea butter in the early stages of pregnancy, long before the skin starts stretching as the baby grows. This is a preventative action that gives the skin necessary moisture to avoid the splitting action that causes stretch marks. It never hurts to be proactive to minimize the reminders of the pregnancy by applying emollient rich lotions to the body throughout the 9 months.
