Linking up with Hallie because she's super cool and my sister knows her I just found out! |
Here is one of Hallie's Five Favorites today - and my girlfriends and I were just talking about this study recently, too -
NEW BABY SMELL IS REAL
“If you’ve ever been around a baby, you may have noticed a distinctly pleasant odor wafting from it. It’s not baby powder, or scented wipes, or Johnson’s baby shampoo — but it’s also not, as you might have previously thought, a hallucination. A new study published in Frontiers in Psychology confirms that new-baby smell is real.
In a study of 30 women — half of whom had recently given birth, and half of whom had never given birth — all reacted to smells of newborn babies (taken from pajamas) with the same dopamine releases triggered by eating, ingesting cocaine, or similar “reward-inducing” behaviors…”
That sounds about right! Don’t you just love that smell?

Love that favorite from Hallie - simply one of the best things in the world! And June's still got it the new baby smell, lucky me!
Onto my not so creative Five Faves today -
I wish I was a witty enough blogger to put these cute someecards throughout my posts more often; but, since I don't have that gift, I instead laugh at the ones I see and decide to put them into one post without any context to back them.
1. I saw this one on Facebook and probably laughed for ten minutes straight. I mean seriously giggled, chuckled, then laughed some more. I think it was back when the June Bug wasn't sleeping through the night... and Bill was... enough said. Wait. Even though the monitor is right by his head, I got up 99% of the time. Ok, I said it, and so did this card -
2. I haven't run power walked (pushing the stroller to the park doesn't count) since a couple of weeks before I got pneumonia. But this is what I would have told you if you wanted to go for a jog with yours truly -
The funny thing is, this used to be Bill way back when, when I actually ran,; now the roles have definitely reversed! |
3. This next one is definitely ME way more than I like to admit...
4.
The sad thing is, I don't even get to the shower part til the end of the day, if at all ;) - |
5.
Well, I don't usually do this anyways but I DO love this time of year, as the card says and as I keep telling |
Hope some humorous cards that other people have created and used make you laugh, too!
Love these, Sarah!
