Food Pic a Day!

So I have decided to do a sort of 365 project. Every day I will post a picture of food from my day! Today we let the kids each decorate a gingerbread panel. This is the Nerdster’s. It is pretty cute and he ate a lot of candy while he was doing it;).

I love the candy rocks and candy covered sunflower seeds that I got at Winco.

My Daughter Does Not Have Bieber Fever

Aah, the insight holiday specials give us about our children!

So I was snuggled in with the Nerdlings watching the Michael Buble Christmas Special and on comes Justin Bieber. So these girls start screaming on the show to the point that they are crying. So NerdPie asks why these girls are so worked up over silly Justin Bieber. I tell her that they’re very excited to see this singer that they all think it’s cute and wonderful. She shook her head in disbelief. She says plainly,”They’re freaking out over some person they don’t even know!” So I asked her who she would get excited and freak about seeing. She looks me straight in the face and says plainly, “My dead grandfather.” So I ask which one and she said either of them. We went on to talk about why we both think that this reaction to stars is silly.

Is it wrong to say how proud I am of my 8-year-old little girl that she has not bought in to all this craziness over pop stars. Is this due to the homeschooling or the extreme nerdiness? Either way it’s a win.

Coffee Talk

If you are here from my segment on Central Valley Today welcome! My tip on A Chemical Free & Clean Microwave is over on NerdFamily Food and I have a giveaway for a great blanket that ends today so make sure you enter!!! You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook too! And thank you for dropping by!!

On Central Valley Today I highlighted Coffee Talk by Pressman Games. It is a fun, social game that is all about word associations! Once a topic card is drawn from the super cute coffee bag you get 45 seconds to write down as many words relating to that topic as you can. Then you go around the room if someone else got your word you cross it off your list. Then you get the amount of points equal to your unique word count. The first person to 30 wins! It is that simple! You can get this as a last minute gift at Toys R Us for $17.99 or order it from Amazon for $15.99! It is great for the coffee lover or any fun person you know!

(I was provided a copy of Coffee Talk to evaluate)
