So, for our upcoming road trip, GM dropped off an Acadia DENALI for me to use all week. I was under the impression that I'd be driving a Chevy Traverse which obvs makes sense for my family and lifestyle, but, well, I can totally roll with this!
I'm having fun feeling like hot stuff (so far that includes in the Wendy's drive thru but hey, I think the guy who took my order was impressed!) It is quite generous of GM giving me a vehicle to use since our Kia Rondo is a bit too tiny and unpredictable for the type of vacation we're going to be taking, and although they didn't ask me to or anything, I wanted to direct you to their awesome campaign honoring real hometown heroes. You can follow them @drivingmidwest on Twitter, read more about it here, and even nominate someone yourself. (And scroll to the bottom right of that link to find one local to you!)
We are at yet another month four. Shocking how grown up they are and how relieved that makes me feel. I honestly never knew my anxiety would lessen as they got bigger, but the letting go isn't so bad afterall...
I've written some things elsewhere that I'd love for you to read this week:
- Genius or creepy? LOL Baby Bangs- wigs for bald babies
- For World Breastfeeding Week- photos of famous breastfeeding moms nursing their babies
- Excellent feature on GMA the other day about celebrities choosing homebirth
- (Read on with caution): "Art" featuring children photographed in controversial settings and speaking of art, did you see what Jim Gaffigan said about toddler art?! Pshaw!
- Oh and one last thing, love ya forever if you sign up for Hallmark's special offers here? I don't get anything special if you do, but I think they are keeping track so it just makes me look good to the lovely Hallmark people. Thank you!
I used to take photos of my kids on the first of every month, now it's on the fourth. Four for four... get it? You can see past month photos here.
I love Ivy's self-imposed bunny ears.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a blessing to have such a nice ride for your trip. You have some very happy kids there!
ReplyDeleteAwesome car!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love how you can tell the kids seem to enjoy these photos, so they always turn out awesome!
Oh, and completely unrelated, but would it be appropriate to bring large pieces of fabric to hand to people in restaurants who have a problem with breastfeeding? After all, some of their table manners are horrible and I don't really want to watch them eat either! (odd things we've been discussing because G is very pro-breastfeeding and says he's prepared to "educate" anyone who tells me it's gross, lol).
Oh the darlings!!! Oh the darlings... love all their smiley faces!!!
ReplyDeletelove those big grins. we have a traverse. the dinali is great but you would have loved the traverse. its a pimp mom-mobile!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! We are flying to TN and driving to NY. I am curious though. How exactly do you plan to fit all six of you PLUS all of your stuff in a smaller SUV??
ReplyDeleteI just got the Traverse thanks to Connie and we have seven of us heading down to Texas! The kids look so cute in the back of that Denali!
ReplyDeleteLove the homebirth link!
Where are you going on vacation?
ReplyDeleteYour kids are such a good-looking bunch and Ivy is getting SO OLD. It seems like just yesterday I was reading about her birth.
Just out of random curiosity: How old were you when you gave birth to each of your kids and what is the age spacing between each of them?
