Wandering through life one season at a time
Freepeats is a great way to get rid of your old baby gear & get new stuff in return – for FREE! (It is similar to Freecyle.) There is usually a $4.95 membership fee, but you can get a free membership if you sign up today. Check here to see if there is one in your area.
After months of disagreeing searching, we finally have a name for Baby Girl! (For my bloggyworld friends – I’ll share her name here when she is born, and after that she’ll have a silly nickname like all the other kiddos.) Naming a baby is such a huge task. Our kids’ names are all a little uncommon, end in ‘a’ or ‘ah’, and have a biblical meaning (though they are not all names found in the Bible). That narrows the field of available names quite a bit!
I came across this list of Worst Baby Names compiled by ancestry.com. Keep in mind that these horrendous names are of real, documented people from the U.S. Census Reports!! They all sound like something from a crude Saturday Night Live skit.

What’s the worst baby name you’ve ever heard?
Do NOT put rocks/ dirt/ beads in your nose.
I told you that, if you leaned too far over the top bunk, the ceiling fan would hit you in the head.
Don’t let the dog lick you in the mouth.
Yes, that IS a beautiful spider.
Quit climbing the door facings. (said to my son who is 6 ft. off the ground)
Don’t EVER EVER EVER stick anything into an electrical outlet again!
Didn’t I tell you to NEVER EVER EVER stick anything into an outlet again?!?
Just pick it up, wipe the dirt/dog hair off, and eat it – you’re not getting another one.
Please don’t throw up in the van!
Get your underwear off your head.
Do you know that you have a sucker stuck to the back of your head?
We don’t bite people’s noses.
If you don’t be quiet, I’m going to stick you in the closet. (Oh ok, I would never really say that, but I have thought it!)
So what have you said, since having kids, that you never thought you would say?
