Thinking Back Thursday
by HeatherThis week i’m joining in on Thinking Back Thursday from a fellow blogger, Tessa, over at Tales of Two Girls. Check it out!
Since this is my first Thursday joining in, I am just sharing the first three toys I thought of from when I was a kid!
First up, Nano Baby!

Remember these? They were part of the whole virtual pet, Tamagotchi fad! Nano’s were the cheaper version – but did the same thing. You had to feed, play and entertain your little baby or pet as they grew up. I did everything you were suppose to do, and after 30 days, you were suppose to gain an additional baby. I remember day 30! I didn’t get an additional baby 
I was so disappointed –what a silly little toy!
Secondly, Shrinky Dinks!

Apparently you can still make these with parchment paper – but I remember getting the sets, coloring them all in, especially around the holidays, and then popping htem into the oven and watching them “cook”. They came out tiny and hard as a rock!
And lastly, the Koosh Ball
I remember always bringing these to the beach, they were fun to play with in the water since they would float, or if they sank, they were slow! You would also tie a loop in one of the strings, so that you could yo-yo with them. I had a purple/pink/blue one!
30 Days of Thanks :: Day 15, 16 & 17
by HeatherDay 15: I’m thankful for the home that we have. There are so many things I still want to do around the house, but i’m lucky to have such a nice home, in such a great neighborhood to raise Lennox in.
Day 16: I’m thankful for finally finding a new school for Lennox! I hope she will be happy there!
Day 17: I’m thankful for a silly child! She spilt a while glass of milk… and instead of getting upset, coming to get me, etc. I look over and she is standing in the middle of it playing in it. So now I had a milk covered child, milk covered floor! Guess who will be washing the floor tonight after the little one goes to bed! *raises hand*
The Christmas Season is Almost Upon Us!
by HeatherSo Sarah over at Nurse Loves Farmer and Jess from I Rock So What did this and I thought it would be fun to join in like everyone else 
It’s time to get in the christmas turkey. I know, we are suppose to respect the Turkey, and don’t worry – I’ll eat plenty on thanksgiving, but really, for me, thanksgiving is the kick off of Christmas! I grew up always watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and I can’t wait to show it to Lennox this year. We’ll be on the lookout for the Elmo balloon float — she is OBSESSED!
And here is the fun questions:
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Well, I love both, but you can have Hot Chocolate any time of the year, Egg Nog is for Christmas. As a kid, my dad and I would have a celebratory first glass of egg nog in fancy glasses.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Santa always wrapped up his gifts for me, and so far he has done the same for Lennox.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white? On the tree – colored on our family tree, white on the fancy tree (yes we have two– actually 3 last year), outside we have White.
4. Do you hang mistletoe? Nope.
5. When do you put your decorations up? Usually right after Thanksgiving or around December 1st.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish? Roast Beast! Jello Fruit Salad my grandmother always made was always my favorite as a kid. Now I love Roast Beast and Sweet Potatos with Marshmellow.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child? Coming down in the morning to see all the gifts was always exciting. I also remember going on the train ride around christmas time with my parents.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I figured out another figure, I think the easter bunny and then put it all together and asked my mom.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No, unless we are seeing family then that we won’t see the next day.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree? We have a tree in our living room that has fun ornaments on it and it has colored lights. Its 6 or 7 feet tall. Then we have a 12 foot tree that is in our foyer, which has white lights and red and gold balls with ribbon and poinsettias.
11. Snow! Love it or Dread it? LOVE IT!
12. Can you ice skate? I can, but I haven’t in a long time.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift? Hmmm… I don’t know what my favorite has been. I remember getting a bike as a kid, that was exciting. And then, I don’t remember getting it but I know it was a favorite – My baby talk doll with Crib and Highchair. See babytalk here:
I loved this doll. I still have it, it works and I have it out for Lennox
14. What’s the most important thing about the Holidays for you? Being with family. Now that there are little kids around, it’s even better!
15. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? Hmmm.. I don’t know – I love all the Christmas cookies and candies!
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition? Bringing Lennox to see Santa, watching old christmas movies and cartoons, and driving around and looking at christmas lights.
17. What tops your tree? An angel.
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving? I love both!
19. Candy Canes: Yuck or Yum? I like them, but I only eat them for a few minutes and get bored. I like them in candies/cookies and in hot chocolate!
20. Favorite Christmas show? Love Charlie Brown Christmas, The Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation and Elf!
21. Saddest Christmas Song? The one about the boy getting his mom some shoes — what is the name? It’s depressing.
22. What is your favorite Christmas song? Rockin’ around the christmas tree — I have liked it since I saw Home Alone!
30 Days of Thanks :: Day 13 & 14
by HeatherDay 13: I’m thankful for helpful neighbors! They have been helpful and encouraging while i’m going through the process of trying to find a new daycare for Lennox (more on that to come). With them all having older kids than Lennox, they have some helpful information to share with us! Thanks
Day 14: I’m thankful for the things we get to do together. Tonight we get to go see ICE! at the Gaylord Texan with Kyle’s mom and sister-in-law. We have been able to go for the past 4 years for cheap or free – which is much better than the $25 or $30 they usually charge! Lennox went last year and was great at it, I hope she loves it even more this year – pictures to come!
