Good morning! Can I make a huge batch of smoothie and keep it refrigerated for two days? No blender at the cottage and I've never been a smoothie person.
Yes, but freezer would be better. It also depends on what you are putting in it
Bananas, PB and Milk for sure, sometimes I squeeze a fruit/veggie pouch in (it's for M)
Fridge should be fine. I would wait to squeeze the pouch until serving it. If you have a water-based fruit or veggie in it the consistency gets weird in the fridge (or when you defrost from the freezer for that matter). But the banana, pb and milk should be fine in the fridge
@cynthia2007 - hope you feel better soon! Do you ever take Airborne? When I feel myself coming down with something I take one every hour that I am awake and take 3 ibuprofen every four hours. It normally knocks it out within 24 hours.
KJ is spending her first night away from both of us tonight. She is going to to her godparents house to spend the night. Tonight we are going to our college homecoming celebration. Some of our college friends from out of town are coming and we are going to drink a lot, tell old stories, and laugh a lot. Can't wait!
Ugh. A friend on FB just posted her "theory" on Ebola. Basically blaming Obama by saying he already controls what our kids eat in school, learn in school and purposefully didn't stop flights from infected countries into the US, now he's moving infected patients to different states and to WAKE UP AMERICA that our president is pulling the wool over our eyes and acting like he's telling us what to wear and how to act just to help us but in reality he's weeding out the population. Maybe the dumb will get weeded out. I just can't today.
This theory makes me think that Obama is an evil genius who never sleeps!! Who has time to control that much?? It reminds me the old argument of "when Obama came in office the gas prices were x"...y'all do know that the president doesn't set the price of gas, right? I think a lot of people skipped their high school government/civics class.

I just caught up on the catfish thread (last night I got to the point where they found the stolen pic girl)
I am amazed at how naive a lot of people are. So many posts about "I need to take a bump break. I want to go delete my pics. I'm paranoid now." Do they realize how many people out there might be reading their stuff without going full catfish? As someone who was a lurker for most of pregnancy and only came to join after babies were born, I always found it weird how much I knew about people and they had no idea I existed or was reading their posts. So I keep that in mind - there are people out there who probably feel like they know as much about us as others in this group do. No one needs to create a fake profile to read and keep up with a group or steal pics or anything.
So please please please be careful with what you post! Assume someone else is reading it.
I know I said this before but felt like reinforcing it. I was just amazed at J14s reactions.
Has anyone made homemade play dough? Trying to think of ways to entertain E. He can sit in his high chair comfortably or lay on his belly on the floor.
I made it for my son when he was little. It was really easy to make.
I'm just burying this here. Dh and I did the deed 3 days before my window of ovulation time ( I chart). I am due to get my period tomorrow but sometimes I'm a day early. The past few days I have been really burpy. This never happens. I happened to have a cheap pregnancy test so I took it last night. I think it looks like a faint blue line in the positive box but it's light I don't know what to think. I keep on thinking maybe it sat too long before I looked. Has anybody ever gotten a faint line and not be pregnant?? Please tell me yes because we weren't planning on 3 kids.

Do you have a Dollar Tree or other chain 99 cent store near you? Their tests are the red dye tests, and have some of the best sensitivity of any test I've used. I bet you would know for certain if you used one of those today or tomorrow.
I have one project to work on today at work, and it should only take me about an hour to trudge through, but I'm just not feeling it. I'm going to try and get it done before lunchtime, and then reward myself with something yummy since I didn't pack anything and I don't have anything scheduled.
@HoneyB1993 - your LO threads Cheerios onto pipecleaners? That sounds amazing. I'll have tot try that out this weekend, but I kind of feel like LO would just eat the Cheerios and/or just give them to the dogs to eat.
And thanks to you all I'm totally adding a trampoline to LO's Christmas list. He *loved* jumping in his jumperoo, and I feel like maybe he'd enjoy the trampoline ... it's been a very long time since he had something to jump on!
And excuse the multiple multiple posts, just trying to help the post count out!
I haven't kept up on all the words since we are visiting my brother and SIL in Arkansas, but I'm leaving this here in case it hasn't been posted. Mostly for @WasNotWas
Grayson's diaper rash is getting worse. I've been using the stuff @lioness13 recommended but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. His poor butt. And he is in so much pain during diaper changes it's from the antibiotics he was on that he has since finished so hopefully this clears up soon.
@ColieAnn31 - does he have bumps around the rash? Could it be a yeast infection? A has had a diaper rash for days and then had bumps around it. I spoke with a nurse today who told me to get Lotrimin AF and Aquaphor lotion because Desitin and A&D weren't going to fix a yeast infection.
I'm hoping A goes to bed soon because i'll be right behind her. My sinuses are really making my head hurt and i'm hoping lots of meds before bed and a good nights sleep i'll wake up better. We're supposed to go to the pumpkin patch tomorrow and I'm so looking forward to it!
@cynthia2007 the recipe lioness gave me has lotrimin af in it. He doesn't have bumps but he has 2 very obvious blister type things on each side of his thigh by his butt. They are about 2 inches long. He had to go on a super charged antibiotic because amoxicillin wasn't doing it for him. I'm off the next 2 days so I plan on being diligent with diaper changes and doing some diaper free time. I'm also not using baby wipes and just using wet paper towel instead to wipe him.

One of the ladies from the D14 board met him and got him to record their birth announcement for when their baby is born. The video is on page two.
