I want a vat of this stuff

About 8 years ago, my mom & step-dad went to Hawaii and brought back the most amazing syrup on earth. From the moment I tasted it, I fell in love, I could seriously drink it straight from the bottle, yep, it's THAT good.

You can ONLY get it from their website now (not sold at the famous ABC store), which totally bums me out because I am all out. Should you ever want the most delicious syrup in the world, here it is....My mouth is watering just thinking about making macadamia nut pancakes with this syrup.....Oh how I miss Hawaii...

*Warning* Pregnant Emotional Blog Entry

I just have to say how fortunate I feel right now to have the friends & family I have in my life. Over the last few weeks I have received TONS of baby clothes from my friends Diandra & Gretchen - and today I realized that Jackson's closet and dresser are almost FULL with those clothes! A lot of people know we are on a SUPER tight budget with being laid-off in November, and this is just such a treat to receive barely worn clothes for our little guy.

I also have to add how TREMENDOUSLY lucky I feel to have 3 baby showers given to me by my friends & family. I knew I would have one, but 3? How lucky can one girl get???? I just feel so blessed right now that it brings me to tears. I feel so loved, and to know that that love will be shared with my son just warms my heart.

I love my friends & family!!!!
