WFMW: Birthday Celebration
My kids all have their birthdays withing 2 months and sometimes it is very overwhelming. Do you give them each a party? If so do you invite all their joint friends to both? Do you have a party for all 3 or just the 2 that are in the same month? What about years like this one? My little girl is June 10th, my c-section is scheduled for the 18th, and the oldest is June 30th. Then we have one more in July. Well, we started doing a special day with just one kid. Last year my little girl (who was turning 3) wanted to go to Toys R Us (where she picked out her brothers’ Birthday gifts), then we went to the school store to get her first school book and then we went to JoAnn’s to get some fairy wings she had wanted for a while. Then just she and I went out to lunch and went home to put her to bed for her nap. Then the birthday kid gets to pick out their dinner (from a list of choices) and the dessert of her choice. My 3 yr old picked out a princess cake while her 5 yr old brother picked out this layered Italian cake he saw on Everyday Italian. My oldest went to see Cars with Dad and the out for burgers and milkshakes. They seemed to not even notice that they didn’t have big party and have talked about it all year. It gives them a little special attention and can take a lot of stress off mom and dad.

Movie Review: Hidden Secrets
I recently received an opportunity to preview the new movie Hidden Secrets from Active Christian Media. This movie will come out in theaters April 30th. I enjoyed this movie. It is a positive story dealing with situations we have all seen or directly dealt with ourselves, regardless of our faith. With stars like John Schneider, David A.R. White, Tracy Melchior, Corin Nemec and Staci Keanan the acting was very good. Unlike many Christian films, the production value was excellent. David A.R. White and friends once again (also wrote SIX) did a great writing job with the script. If I knew nothing else but the writers I would have gone just for that. Frankly, I don’t want to say to much because I don’t want to ruin it for you but it deals with issues like abortion, purity, homosexuality, judgementalism, love, and friendship. When watching the movie I repeatedly thought that this would be a great book. There is of course a but. While it is a good movie, it is a little more like a TV movie than a big theater movie. I can’t put my finger on why but when the movie was over it was “that was good” but not that wow moment. NerdDad and I are in full agreement that it is a good date movie. On the whole, if you are looking at going to the movies, I would definitely recommend it. Go out and support a positive film and then come back and let me know what you thought. (I received this movie for the sole purpose of reviewing it from ACM)
Supreme Court Upholds Partial Birth Ban
This just in! In a 5-4 ruling the US Supreme Court has upheld the Partial Birth Abortion Ban as being Constitutional. They said that it didn’t effect a woman’s right to have an abortion but the method. Very Good!
Pregnancy Carnival
Welcome to the April 13, 2007 edition of carnival of pregnancy. Due to my exhaustion with my own pregnancy I am taking help where I can get it with the template. Next time I will put a little more of myself into it;).
Hueina Su presents Take Time for Friendships posted at Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul, saying, “Remember that story of a mom telling her soon-to-be-married daughter to never let go of her girlfriends? In our super-busy society, it’s easy to neglect the important relationships in our life. As I navigated through school, career, marriage, and motherhood, I became more and more appreciative and grateful for my old friends. No matter how busy you are, I hope you take time to nurture the significant friendships in your life.”
Stacie Turner presents Things Not to Say to a Very Pregnant Woman posted at The Twinkies.

A Variety of Quizes
What are you? Leave me a comment if you take them and post them on your blog!
| Your Linguistic Profile: |
| 55% General American English |
| 30% Yankee |
| 10% Dixie |
| 0% Midwestern |
| 0% Upper Midwestern |
And Another…
| You Are an Easter Egg |
 You’re so sweet, you don’t need candy. You much prefer the taste of artificial coloring instead. |
I was a little shocked by how low I was here.
| You Are 56% Republican |
 You aren’t a full fledged Republican yet, but it’s probably the party that fits you best. You probably consider yourself an independent Republican. You usually support the party, but you also think for yourself! |
But not shocked at all here:
| You Are 4% Democrat |
 If you have anything in common with the Democrat party, it’s by sheer chance. You’re a staunch conservative, and nothing is going to change that! |
