November 11, 2011 Mom Time

What’s Trending at the Harding House, November Edition

Fit for the holidays. You know that friend that forced me to run 100 miles in July? Right after I had a baby? Well, now she’s forced me into a six-week 200 sit-up and 100 push-up training program. Right before Thanksgiving. I’m sore now, but I’m sure I’ll thank her one day. For more info, visit: http://www.twohundredsitups.com/. Bikini party in January anyone?


Big Train Sugar-Free Vanilla Chai Lattes. Now that the weather is cooling down, ’tis time to enjoy my favorite cool-weather treat. I mix it with water if I’m feeling like I need to be “good” or milk if a little indulgence is called for. Until a coffee shop opens up with a drive-thru nearby, I’ll be making my happiness-in-a-mug at home.


Shutterfly Holiday Cards. Y’all better get on it. Shutterfly is offering 40% off their holiday cards until the 16th of November. Find that perfect family pic and place the order! You can always procrastinate later… like when it’s time to address them or buy stamps. Use promo code CARD40.


Baby Rice Cereal and Oatmeal. Feeding a baby is never a tidy-affair, but it gets easier if you thicken the baby purees up a little with some baby cereal. I mix in a few tablespoons of rice cereal into fruit purees in the morning for Will’s breakfast and a few tablespoons of baby oatmeal into his veggie purees in the evening. It thickens it up just enough so it doesn’t spray quite as far when he decides he’s all done.


Ear warmers. Now that it’s brisk in the mornings, it’s time to pull out the warm weather running gear. My least favorite thing in the whole-wide-world is the feeling when your ears get cold and it turns into that throbbing pain. Enter the Reversible Fleece Headband by Nike. Plus, it keep my earbuds in place and the sweat off my face. A win-win for winter running.

Stop by next week for the “Best of CMF!”
