Honey, lime juice and rum.
By rum of course we mean Jamaican Rum, but I guess any rum will do.
Mix all of these contents in a glass and gargle- don’t swallow!! If you do, you may grow some hair on your chest for sure!
This will ease your sore throat. Guaranteed.
You’re welcome.
Stay tuned for more random Jamaican get well home remedies. 
Anyway, Parenting.com is hosting a Baby & Child Model search and I entered Cadence’s picture. Won’t you vote for her, please?
So Baby C had a kid’s meal at Subway the other day and got this super cute reusable tote as a “toy” I guess…
Anyway, just now, she packed all of her toys in it and throws it over her shoulder- “oh honey,” I shout, “how cute.”
To which he says “Take a picture!”
So I grab my camera, turn it on, get ready for the shot- get the shot and I start to step away and it all happened so quickly:
- I trip
- I try to stop said trip from occurring
- I am unsuccessful in that endeavor
- I knock over the diffuser on the way down
- Step on the dog’s foot
- Dog lets out a HUGE scream because I stepped on his foot
- Dog runs
- I fall on dog bed
- I notice diffuser liquid is spilling all over dog bed
Yup. I am that clumsy.
I drop everything, break things, trip over stuff, I even fall… Remind me to tell you about the time I was at a party in college and I walked out the back door slipped and fell into SOMEONE’S FUCKING VOMIT! Ya. That was fun.
My kid is fucked if she’s depending on my genes to help her athletically.
Here’s the damn picture I was trying to take:
AND:
Alas, I did cook.
Yesterday we had grilled chicken & baked french fries.
Today? I have no clue what we are going to eat yet… Ah well.

I don’t know what cooking magazine I tore this recipe out of, so I don’t know who to give props to for this recipe.
I DO know that it looked good on paper, then I started to cook it and thought “uh-oh this is gonna be gross.” That ever happen to you?
Alas, I think I just got overwhelmed by the smell of tomatoes in the kitchen, you know like when your kid puts too much ketchup on the plate, then it just sits there? That smell.
It’s actually really tasty. So, I thought I’d share. This recipe makes 8 servings (according to them), so I split it in 1/2 so we didn’t have a whole bunch.

So as a new mom something that I chose to forgo is spending an obnoxious amount of money on underwear at Victoria’s Secret. I know your secret Victoria, you’re expensive! Moving on… I purchased a pack of Hanes “No-Ride Up Panties.”
On their site, they promise the following:
“These panties won’t ride up. That’s our Comfort Fit promise”
If you aren’t satisfied with Hanes’ undies, you can send them back (at your expense, of course) and they will replace your undies.
Gee Hanes, are you going to send me more panties that give me a wedgie at every turn? Cause that would be sweet! I enjoy taking my kid to the park and subtly trying to pull out my wedgie amongst other Moms… or being in the endless line at Costco with cotton stuck up my ass! That’s awesome.
So, I’m giving Hanes’ no-wedgie panties a thumbs down. Just sayin’.
