The pants of a chemist
I started pulling my jeans out of the dryer last weekend and saw a little something white.
Then, I kept pulling them out, and saw more and more white spots.
Isn’t chemistry fun?
These holes didn’t show up on the day that I thought water was dropped and splattered on the floor.
But after a wash, rinse and dry, my jeans look like this.
Guess what? I still wear them to work, too.
After all, isn’t this the “in” style these days?

Mommy and Me Monday-The 4th Edition
Thank you for joining me on this new endeavor, Mommy and Me Monday. I can’t wait to see you all out from behind the camera and in front of the lens. It will be good for us all to be added to the documentation of our lives (as well as the lives of our children). Read a description of Mommy and Me Monday for more information.
Thursday really was a bad day. The kind of day that makes me want to quit my job bad.
But, thankfully, my girls had the solution to my bad day.
Natalie kept climbing up into this arm chair and leaning over the side. I went up to kiss her, and the fun continued for a while. All three of us girls were cracking up.
She kept leaning in for more and more kisses, and then she would just lean her open mouth on mine. Again, we all erupted in laughter.
Amazingly enough, I took this picture with my camera by myself, just holding it out. That’s no small feat. Maybe The 30 Day Shred is working!

To share or not to share
Remember how I found those mystery stains streaked on the wall in Izzy’s room? Well, you could see her bedding in her room, right?
Doesn’t very well match with her sister’s current bedding, does it?
So if I were to go looking for some new kids bedding for their room, I would probably look online, right? I think either of these would go really well with the green in Izzy’s room.
And, the plan is, once Natalie gets into a big girl bed, she and her sister will share a room, so they need to match. Well, they don’t need to match, but I think they should.
Do your kids share a room? Did they always share a room? I’m a little worried because they don’t currently share, but I think all siblings should share at one point, especially in a 3 bedroom house. Help me out, because I have a feeling this transition is coming sooner than I think. Natalie likes to climb!
How to make a bad day good…well, at least better.
1) Birth a really cute kiddo and feed her chocolate before dinner, so it’s stuck in her teeth and all over her shirt.
2) Realize that she can now climb up on your arm chair.
3) Get out your camera. 
4) Act silly and take pictures. 
5) Make a really goofy face…check her corresponding face.
6) Fall in love all over again with the sweetest baby girl, ever. 
7) For extra credit, blow her some kisses and she how she responds.

Cinnabon Cupcake Review and Giveaway
Cinnabon is celebrating 25 years of business. And, what does a business like Cinnabon create to celebrate? Cupcakes!
This past month, Cinnabon released their newest creations in the form of four very tasty cupcake flavors:
Cinnabon worked with the original creator and tested out hundreds of recipes before perfecting their cupcakes. I’d say they did a fabulous job. They are moist, irresistible, high quality and worthy of the Cinnabon name.
Serious Tested:
Delicious. Moist. Tasty. Probably the best cupcakes I’ve had. I was shocked. My favorite was the carrot cake. It had lots of carrot in it (I felt like it was healthy). We tried one of each flavor. Second was the cinnacake classic. It is the perfect ratio of cinnamon and cream cheese icing. Coming in a tie for third is the chocolate and vanilla. And, I think that’s just because the other two flavors were a little more unique.
The girls gobbled them up. Nat’s is a crumb in her hand, and Iz was kind enough to pose before polishing hers off (and she even gobbled up the carrot cake)!
Improvements. None that I can possibly think of for the cupcakes. The carrying case isn’t the best design. The sides didn’t stay down, but they had at least accounted for that, and even with the sides open, the box didn’t break.
Win It: Cinnabon would like to give a $20 gift card to a lucky Really, Are You Serious? reader so you can try out some of their new cupcakes.
For your first entry: Tell me which flavor you would like to try!

Sock Grams Review and Giveaway
We’ve all received flowers, balloons and cards in the mail. But, have you ever received a personalized card combined with a pair of socks picked out just for you?
Sock Grams has done just that. In three easy steps, you can have a cute and fun gift shipped directly to the recipients mailbox…with free standard shipping in the US.

- Pick a card and customize a message.
- Get free foot balm (or stickers for the kiddos) added to the package. It’s gift wrapped and dropped in the mail.
- Serious Tested: The socks arrived in a very fun, metallic red envelope.
Inside the envelope, the socks were personally wrapped in holiday appropriate paper (Valentine’s Day theme for me). They were also sent with an example card and some peppermint foot balm.
The foot balm is so yummy…mmm peppermint. I envelope was a nice bonus as I new there had to be something exciting in it. The custom wrapping is definitely an added personal touch, too. It looked very nice and they really took the time to make it professional. The socks are a lighter weight sock, with a nice, soft cotton feel to them.
Win It: Sock Grams have offered a lucky Really, Are You Serious? reader one sock gram of their choosing (except the infant sock packages).
