She's a gun totting, glue stick smokin, baby doll.
*my dear friends made me realize maybe this isn't an entirely appropriate public post;) this after a totally unrelated conversation about how to nurturing your children so that they make good decisions even without laws in place to prohibit them from doing stupid things and well little Miss Loretta please know that smoking glue sticks would probably catch you on fire and unless you're hunting or you become a police officer lady totting guns would really make your uncles and Grandpa Mark proud but is probably completely unnecessary... with that said I am inappropriate at times and I kinda like it that way...cheers

Teething

The teething toy of a sister with six year old brothers.

More Ding Dongs

Tsetse wanted in on the action so here she is. Yes she'd like to be changed out of her dirty diaper but her mom is busy remembering Hostess desserts. I thought it funny that I had both a Ding Dong and Kombucha which is a tea for those of you who do not know filled with antioxidants, probiotics and lots of vitamins. I know both will keep me healthy and living a long productive life.

Hostess is leaving this earth?

Ok, so now I think this whole "world is ending" ridiculousness might not be so ridiculous after all.  Hostess turning off their Twinkie makers is a crying shame especially when Twinkie is obviously the quintessential survival kit food. Oh let's also talk about the idea of Twinkies' potential as diet food- weren't these beauties really popular when we were all about 25% trimmer?
Just to relive the good ol days I bought a box of Ding Dongs and a Hostess blackberry frosted pie which I promptly had for lunch. The Ding Dong was super disappointing- I only finished 1/2 of it, well ok 3/4 of it. I was so annoyed by the chocolate that was falling into my lap so I foiled it back up and threw the rest away. Now the pie well that was pretty tasty. Worth the 430 kcal and the 20 grams of fat? Hmm not sure but it took me back to the hostess outlet as a kid ogling the bins of Twinkies, Sno Balls, CupCakes, Ding Dongs, HoHo's, and fruit filled pies and that was worth every extra mile I might have to run to burn those calories off. Unfortunately the store was out of Twinkie's and my all time favorite HoHo's so I will just have to live with their memory because I doubt they will ever cross my lips again. Sad but true. Good bye HoHo's!
