I wish I had a dishwasher! I hate washing bottles!

Our dishwasher doesn't clean bottles worth shit. They all wind up upside down filled with dirty dish water and the nipples look grimy. Sucks.

That's a sympathy love tit, jsquaree. Ours does a shit job with bottles too. We wash by hand. Every. Damn. Night.

i really get annoyed when car seat advice people tell you to 'just heat up your car before you get in'. Not everyone lives in a place they are comfortable leaving their car unattended with the keys in it!

Also, when I do this I end up with some exhaust getting into my car.. rather have it chilly.

DH and I have tomorrow off and were going to take the kids to daycare and have a date day. Now we're supposed to get at least 7" of snow, which is a big deal here, and we're going to be stuck at home. I'm trying to think of enjoying a new kind of fun day at home with the kids and snowmen and stuff...still working on it...

This was my plan as well and now I'm watching it snow. I almost still took Lo but I don't want to go back out in the snow.

Out with DH for the first time without DS since he was born. I had the "lunchables of champagne."

I've never seen or heard of that. Tell me more.

[SpinsOffResonance]

I gave DH the same haircut as DD

Our daycare is actually closed!  I'm pretty sure we won't have to work tomorrow either...maybe the next day too!  Snow cream, hot chocolate, and movies for us!

ns1 - What's snow cream? Should I know what it is?

[kittyriot]

It's Family Day here in Ontario, I am off work and sitting in the salon! I am FINALLY dealing with with my disaster of a mop! I am so excited to finally be doing something about my lack of style that I feel a little sad about my excitement (if that makes any sense).

Also, I am doing colour @bunannie - I seriously contemplated never colouring again after our convo. But lord I wanted to have some fun with my hair after almost two years of nothin'.

[ns1]

www.gimmesomeoven.com/how-to-make-snow-ice-cream-recipe/ sstwinklinglites My dad used to make it and a woman at work makes it for her boys when it snows

ETA - DD loves to eat snow at all times, so it's nice to actually let her!

How freaking cool is that?! We are so going to need to try that!

[lrmrtn]

DC is closed for President's Day so I took the day off and my mom was supposed to come over. But she has the stomach flu so I'm housebound with DS. I could take him to run errands but it's 9 degrees out. I'm so sick of winter and illness.

[sstwinklinglites]

ns1 - That's so cool! And I do have all the ingredients... maybe for dessert tonight?

[Doll15]

It's 72 here. I kinda wish we had snow. I feel like it was never winter.

It's by Coppola Winery and is called the "Sofia Blanc des Blancs." I'm not a huge fan of most champagne but I really liked this one. Apparently it comes in cans with a little straw. For on the go champagne? Regardless it was awesome.

[ns1]

Snow cream!

Obviously pick your snow wisely.

[athn64]

So want to brag on DH for a bit. Both me and DD are sick. He's been being primary parent all weekend, and he washed the dishes and the laundry. And now he's making me breakfast. I think I shall keep him.

I wish I had enough snow to make this today.  But sadly, most of ours has melted again.  

[mary97]

Weather people are calling for snow in my area tonight.

I will believe it when I see it. They were right on Saturday but that was it for this winter and they were bound to get one snow forecast right.

[SpinsOffResonance]

I am so busted, DH took my phone to lookup the weather forecast because his was doing white noise in DD's room. My browser opened right to the picture of him in drag posted here. He is not happy! He said he doesn't want me posting pictures of any of us on the Internet. Ok DH, I won't post anymore pictures... Until HDBD, haha!

During my pregnancy I always craved melted cheese and alway had to melt it in the oven and it would harden quickly. Fast forward to a few nights ago when I was cleaning out the pantry and realized I have a brand new fondue set!! Wtf? How did I forget about this! I need to go and melt some cheese.

Ok all of you with blue eyed babies. How do you get them to look blue so in pics? Maybe I take pics in bad light- but LOs eyes always look dark in pictures. She has the most awesome blue eyes (for now anyway) and I want to memorialize it. Do you use any specific type of filter? Maybe I need to try more natural light rather than indoor light.

I can't figure it out either. My kids' eyes only look blue in pictures taken outdoors in the sun. Otherwise they just look black.

Luck? If there is better lighting they look more blue.

[becole]

Maybe take a pic with baby facing a window.

[microworm]

12345, I find that his baby blues show up best indoors with a little natural light. They look dark in pictures taken at night with no natural light and no flash. Flash seems to help the blue come out if there is no natural light. Or I may just have a good camera on my phone - Samsung Galaxy S4. I love it!
ETA to say I don't use a filter and they show up fine.

[athn64]

Done with all the doctor visits. verdict is I have pink eye and DD has an ear infection. We both have colds. FML
