A working mom trying to do it all ....and succeeding!
My baby is not a baby anymore. He turns 14 today. He is 5’9″ tall and weighs more than I do. He wears an 11 size shoe. 11? Really?
We went out to dinner on Monday to celebrate and will take him and a friend to Adventure Landing on Sunday. We surprised him with donuts for breakfast this morning. I am so proud of him!
Happy Birthday Hunter!

Sports are a pastime to be enjoyed by the entire family. In many countries across the world, everyone gets together to enjoy the favorite local sport. In Canada, families get together to watch hockey. In countless countries, entire neighborhoods gather to celebrate the sport of soccer. In the United States, football games are practically treated like holidays. Your baby should not have to be left out of the revelry. Start making a die-hard fan and the cutest little party favor ever by dressing your baby in your team’s fan gear.
It does not matter what your sport or your team is; there is baby gear available. From onesies to tiny jerseys, you can dress your little guy or gal any time of the year. You can even find little leg warmers and cheerleader outfits so your little lady can help cheer on her family’s team. If you want to give your infant something he or she will care a bit more about than clothes, you can shop for pacifiers and bottles with your team’s logo.
The U.S. has so much fan gear available that no one is left out. All of the big sports organizations, including the NFL, NBA, NHL and NCAA have baby fan gear for their teams. They know that parents love sharing their fandom with their kids, no matter how small they are. Whether you are a multi-sport fan or only follow one team, you can get gear for every game on the year for your baby. This is the best chance you have to wear a matching outfit and not look a little quirky.
Your best bet for making sure you find the gear you need for your team in your child’s size is to search online. You are much more likely to find exactly what you want if you are not limited to one physical store. Sites like www.babyfans.com offer all kinds of gear for babies and toddlers. Do not wait until your team wins a championship because that is when the gear is going to fly off the shelves. Get it before the season begins and you will be ready for the big wins.
Today September 29th is National Coffee Day! What better way to celebrate than with a FREE medium cup of Dunkin’ Donuts Dark Roast Coffee!
I was invited to visit our local Dunkin Donuts last week to sample the new Fall coffees and donuts. It was a delicious treat!
The table was set and very festive. The first item to try was the Spicy Smoked Sausage Breakfast Sandwich. It does have a little kick to it but not enough to make me stop eating it! Then came some coffee samples. We tried the Pumpkin Latte, the Pumpkin Mocha and the Pumpkin Crème Brulee. My favorite was the Pumpkin Latte which has a nice light flavor. The Pumpkin Mocha wasn’t bad. I could taste the most Pumpkin flavor in that one. The Brulee was a bit strong for me.
Next up was the new Fall Baked Goods. We tried the Pumpkin Glazed, the Pumpkin Pie and the Pumpkin Muffin. While all were tasty my favorite was the Pumpkin Glazed. Simple yet delicious!
Also new to the Dunkin Donuts menu is the Chicken Snack Wrap. A perfect light lunch. It’s a wrap with chicken, bacon and cheese. Delicious!!
We also received a sample the new Spinach and artichoke Bagel. I was already full but could have eaten an entire bagel it was that good! The Spinach and Artichoke Bagel can be used to make a sandwich as well.
We all left stuffed and hyped up on caffeine. It was a fun treat and recommend checking at the new Fall line at Dunkin Donuts.
Don’t forget to get your FREE medium cup of Dark Roast today and from September 30 to October 5 you can the medium Dark Roast for only $.99.
Ok I must get going to head over to get my FREE coffee and a Pumpkin Glazed Donut. What new treat will you try?
Suzanne Woods Fisher never disappoints. Christmas at Rose Hill Farm is a delightful read and perfect for gearing up for the holidays. A beautiful love story.
About the book:
Bess Riehl is preparing Rose Hill Farm for her Christmas wedding, but her groom isn’t who she thought it would be. Billy Lapp is far away from his Amish roots working as a rose rustler for Penn State and wants nothing to do with Stoney Ridge, his family, or Bess. And that suits Bess just fine. Why should she think twice about a man who left without a word, without any explanation? It’s time she moved on with her life, and that meant saying yes to Amos Lapp, Billy’s cousin and best friend. But as Bess and Amos’s wedding day draws near, her emotions tangle into a tight knot. She loves Amos. Yet she can’t forget Billy.When a “lost” rose is discovered at Rose Hill Farm, Billy is sent to track down its origins. Get in, identify the rose, and get out. That’s his plan. The only catch is that he’s having a hard time narrowing down the identity of the lost rose, and he can’t get those tropical blue eyes of Bess Riehl out of his mind.
As the history of the lost rose is pieced together, it reminds Bess and Billy—and Amos, too—that Christmas truly is the season of miracles.
“Filled with heart-twisting moments amid the sweet anticipation of love, this story will charm readers into the holiday spirit.”
