Bumble App Mishap, Husband Not Amused

When I was pregnant and before we knew the baby's sex, we started calling her "Bumble" (we still do).

When I was probably 4-5 months pregnant, I stumbled upon the Bumble dating app. I didn't really know what it was but fell madly in love with the fact that the app is called Bumble, so I downloaded it. As I was setting up my profile, I started to understand that it's a dating app. So I thought I'd have some fun with it, be honest and see if anyone seemed interested. I included the following facts: I was pregnant, engaged and in the midst of wedding planning. I thought I was so funny; then I realized that men couldn't contact me using the Bumble app. I could only reach out to them. So the fun was over - I wouldn't be able to see how many men would still be interested in a pregnant bridezilla. I closed the account and moved on with my day.

I only told you that story so I could now tell you this story:

A few days after Halloween, a girlfriend and I were catching up on the phone. She became serious and asked me if I knew about the Bumble app. I told her that I did and shared some of the story about my brief stint on Bumble. She was so relieved and shared with me that she had been at a Halloween party and a single male friend mentioned he saw me listed on the app. He thought I might have been creepin' behind my hubby's back...

Apparently, I didn't close the account and still have an active Bumble profile. I have long since changed my email address and so now can't log on to make any changes or deactivate the account.

I thought this was hilarious. I am not the cheating type, and I'm obsessed with my husband. I'd also completely forgotten about my Bumble profile until I heard about this. So I had to tell my husband all about it. When I did, all he heard was that I had signed up for a dating app. He was not amused.

Whoops!

Book Review: Alycat and the Thursday Dessert Day

by Alysson Foti Bourque;  illustrated by Chiara Civati Buy it on Amazon! Every Thursday the kids at Alycat’s school get to eat dessert after lunch. Alycat is so excited to choose from ice cream, fudge popsicles and popsicles with cream in the middle. Dessert is all she can talk about at breakfast on Thursday morning; she even daydreams about dessert on the bus on the way to school. Alycat is so distracted by her excitement, she misses the bell and is late getting to the cafeteria for lunch. By the time she makes it through the lunch line, all of the ice cream, fudge popsicles and popsicles with cream in the middle are gone. Alycat is so disappointed she refuses another dessert from the younger kitten’s dessert choices. She says she won’t have any dessert at all as tears stream down her face. Her friend Spotty tells her not to worry so much because it’s the same ice cream every week and nothing exciting. She is surprised that Spotty doesn’t look forward to desse...

Breastfeeding: Part 1 of 1,000,000

I'm sure I'll circle back to this topic often! Breastfeeding in public. I've done it. I love it. I support it for all. I think all places of employment, public bathrooms and more should be retrofitted with Nordstrom-style mommy rooms for breastfeeding. But I can't muster up the gumption to do it in front of any male family members. In fact, while I'm comfortable in front of friends or almost any female visiting me in my own home, there are female family members I'm not sure about. Would I whip out a boob to feed my daughter in front of my mother-in-law? If it were just us and in my home, I probably would. But I might feel a little weird, or pause first. And if we were at her house, I would probably go in the other room to feed the baby. In front of my father-in-law, my father, either of my brothers or any other male family member? Close male friends? No way, man! I have fed the baby in public, in plain view of many a male passerby and it didn't bother me...
