Tuesday Things.
1. I definitely still have an Easter weekend hangover! Not a real hangover, just like a holiday hangover? Yesterday was slooooowww.
2. This veggie crunch sandwich looks absolutely incredible.
3. Very very much into the flare jean/platform shoe trend. Except some of these platforms are like 8 inches high which means me feel insanely old.
4. The 100 greatest snacks of all time. I do not agree with #1! I am not a fan. I’d maybe put #16, #18, #2 or even #8 before that. Honestly my top pick is probably #50! They are also the best nursing snack ever.
5. What’s one thing you believed as a kid that is hilarious now? I used to think that the handles in a car above the passenger seat were only for pregnant women in labor – who were about to give birth being driven to the hospital. Ha.
6. Simple ways to remind people that you love them.
7. TV things!! What is happening on Grey’s! I just need more Scott Speedman. I also watched The First Lady on showtime, kind of by accident. Have you watched? And finished The Ultimatum. Oh my gosh. Wow.
8. I love these daily rituals.

I can remember anything about myself, but my 12 year old thought that when you referred to ‘several’ of something it always meant seven. It still comes up sometimes and she is having a hard time accepting the “new” meaning.
5) The best I had (as a young preschool aged child) I thought babies came from eating salad… in my defense, I only saw pregnant women eating salad so I just put two and two together. In kindergarten, my neighbor was pregnant and I made a comment to my mom about “how lucky” she was that she ate salad and was told a more- true version. It was such a logical explanation to my little kid mind.
I love Tuesday Things! Brings me joy!💗
Agree with you on the snacks. There were SO many that deserved to be higher on the list too. For one why are reeses so far down as well as teddy grahams and Chex Mix! My high school self can’t get over Flared jeans making a comeback, and no thanks to the platform shoes, won’t even try! :-)
In regards to #5, not exactly the same, but a friend and I were just talking about how certain things/places seemed SO big when we were kids. As an adult though…not so much. There’s a hill in the neighborhood I grew up in and it used to seem ginormous….yes, the earth shifts blah blah, but it is not a hill at all now and probably wasn’t as big as I thought it was. Stuff like that is fun / sad to think about!
When I was little there was a lot of those “adopt” (i.e. sponsor) a child from a less developed country. I remember one commercial in particular that ended with a bunch of white kids singing in a choir. For some reason I was under the impression that when a family adopted one of these kids then their own kids got sent off to some sort of boarding school (where they all sang in choirs..??) Anyway, my mom ended up getting pregnant when I was 7 and when she told us we were getting another sibling I cried and cried because I thought they were adopting from the TV and I was going to get shipped off. (Insert face palm. ha!)
I thought Mount Rushmore was a natural rock formation…when I learned someone “carved” it, I was so disappointed….
I actually used the handle above the window when I was in labor and going to the hospital. The hospital was 35 minutes away and I was transitioning in the car (my daughter was born right after I arrived at the hospital!) so I held on to that handle so tight to raise myself off the seat during a contraction. You were not wrong as a kid, :)
