So Mother’s Day is around the corner and if you are like me you are hitting your head on the wall and thinking, “Oh, GREAT another holiday which is supposed to be about ME, but I need to make sure I get all the gifts for every other mother in the free world, so I am not hated, shunned and kicked out of the will.”

Am I the only one feeling this? The guilt!!! Where art thou coming from?

No, really, I love gift giving. I’m a giver by nature. As long as I have a coupon, remember the date or give a flip about the person. Mother’s Day is another opportunity to spread the love to all the important women in my life; and for one day out of the year, have my husband make my cup of coffee in bed. *That was not supposed to sound dirty.*

Therefore, to help you with gift giving ideas for YOUR mother this year, I have done a little research and found some of the best gifts on the market. I hope this saves you some precious time finding the perfect gift for your type of mom.

Nurturing Mom
Mom’s Favorite Child Mug – ($14.49) If you know your mother fits in this category, she probably has made you feel as if you are her favorite child. So why not remind her every morning at coffee? This mug is cuter than a bug and will bug your siblings to no end!MUGG-6928-4

Maybe You Touched Your Genitals Hand Sanitizer – ($5.99) – Your mother who is always watching out for your well-being, will be delighted to receive this product on her special day. After all, you never know who has been playing with their “Jimmy” before greeting the church parishioners.SANI-1841

Adventurous Mom
Go Girl – ($12.99) – If you have a mom who is worldly or the outdoorsy type, this next product is the cat’s meow! Just reach into your hiking gear, the glove box or your evening bag and pull out your rubber female urination device (aka girl penis). Then just drop trow, squat where ever you want, and your mom can now pee with the aim of a sharp shooter. (Available in camouflage or hot pink.)goGirl_prodShot3_hp

The Funny Mom
The Wine Rack Flask Bra – Nothing says, “Mom, since I weaned off of you, you look like you could use a little inflating…AND a hit of wine!” You can get this for only $32.99!!Wine Rack Bra

***I Just Want to Pee Alone – ($8.99) – Best-selling book in parenting humor on Amazon and iTunes is the PERFECT gift for any mother. 37 top mom bloggers co-authored this outrageous compilation of essays about motherhood and it will keep you laughing out loud. Oh, if you haven’t heard…I’m on page 121.

***This is the author’s favorite choice. Not only because she is in the book, but because every time you purchase one of these books, she will make money, which she is fond of. Just telling you the facts, Jack!

Here I am with the fabulous editor and co-author of the book, Jen (“just Jen”) of People I Want to Punch in The Throat. She is a savvy business woman and funny gal, but to protect my throat for the taping I used a flesh colored flotation device around my neck for this live TV interview on Friday, May 25, 2013.

NEW TEEN CRAZE: Cinnamon Challenge Poses Bodily Harm

This is NOT a joke.

This is NOT a joke.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the teens are doing stupid stuff again. And I am compelled once again to bring it to your attention. I know, I know, when AREN’T adolescents doing moronic things with their BFFs, but that is beside the point. We all did our share – it’s part of our development and our right as citizens of this planet. But information/education can save lives and that is my job as a computerized nurse.

“Cinnamon challenges” have been on the news recently (and all over YouTube) warning parents about the dangers this youthful game can present on their health. You might have laughed it off or thought, “Boy, glad my kid isn’t that stupid!”

But I’m here to tell you, the Governor of Illinois was caught on YouTube choking down cinnamon because he thought this “game” wasn’t that dangerous. People are not aware of the severe lasting effects of this challenge.

This popular challenge is when persons eat a large spoonful of ground cinnamon. The spice itself is not toxic, but the problem arises when the person ingesting the powdered spice starts to laugh, choke or cough and the particles go down their airways instead of their esophagus to their stomach. Cinnamon dust particles in the lungs are dangerous.

According to the New York Times, “A report published in the journal Pediatrics on Monday found that the stunt has led to a growing number of calls to poison control centers and visits to emergency rooms. Some teenagers have suffered collapsed lungs and ended up on ventilators.” Large quantities adhered to the lungs when inhaled, causes inflammation and scarring of the lungs resembling emphysema.

Even if you think your child wouldn’t do something this ridiculous, just trust me and bring it up casually at dinner. See if they have heard of someone doing this challenge and check if they think it’s funny. NOW you will have your educating moment.

Good luck and let me know how your talk went. I’d love to hear back from you all, to hear how kids are responding to this around the country. ~ Stacey

This one is really extreme and she is choking. Her “friend” the cameraman laughs through the entire thing. Don’t let this be your child. THIS MIGHT BE DISTURBING FOR SOME VIEWERS

Detoxing Kindergartners, Cheezits are Crack, and Whole Foods Rapper is RAW

I decided it would be fun to torture my kids in a new way. And what better way to do so than to make them healthier in the process! We are detoxing from el crappo junk food in the house. Now, we really don’t have a lot of it. Maybe some pretzels and Cheezits, on a Snow Day we might make Moist Poop Balls (Cake Pops), but we do have a little bit of juice every day and they COUNT on it like a crack whore! (Did I just call my girls crack whores? Not yet. We are trying to nip that habit early on)

So I started reading a book by Joel Fuhrman, MD, “Eat to Live: The Amazing Nutrient-Rich Program for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss.” It is about concentrating on eating nutrient dense foods only; so they make you feel more full, are providing more nutrients, thus, improving your overall health and for kicks and giggles…you lose weight in the process! Well, put down the bagel and schmear and call me skinny latte…that sounds fabulous!!

As you can imagine, my children were not as excited about giving up the Cheezits. Have you heard about their addiction to these perfect square salty “crack”ers? This has been going on for so long that when they were toddlers and came home from Sunday school, I heard Munchkin#1 singing in her 5-point harness…

Yes, Cheezits loves me!
Yes, Cheezits loves me!
Yes, Cheezits loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

True Story. AND she was not trying to be silly, she really thought those were the lyrics. Proud parenting moment #2046!

So today is day two of Kindergarten Cheezit detox. I’m hanging tight and am heading to the gym in a few. We’ll see if the girls do okay at snack time. My guess is they will be praying to “Cheezits” for some junk food!!

If any of you decide to go on a healthy food journey with me, please let me know in the comments. I love comments almost as much as my children. (It may be a close tie.) This way I know I’m not just talking to myself all day! :)

This Whole Foods Rap was mentioned to me by my good friend, Jen. She always finds funny stuffs and she is a sharer. I like that about her! Thanks, Jen! Hope you all get a kick out of this as much as Jen and I did!
