What I Learned in the Month of May.

I'm the worst blogger in the world. I never know what to write about, and when I finally get a "good topic" I always talk myself out of writing about it. Recently, Kalli Peterson (check out her blog here) sent me a link to a blogger who was writing about things she had learned each month. I loved this idea, and decided that I would go ahead and try to keep up with that. This will hopefully keep me blogging each month...and hopefully supplementing with other blogs in between. Hopefully.

So here it is: What I learned in the month of May.

1. The song "Rain Is a Good Thing" by Luke Bryan is highly misleading. Now that I live in a farming community, I feel as though that song should come with a few footnotes. Rain is a good thing after the seeds are in the ground and before harvest. It's a small window. Oh, and not TOO much rain, right? Right.

2. Babies who are fed breast milk might only poop once a week. It's easier to digest, so it leaves less solid waste than formula. The good news: less poopy diapers. The bad news: when poop happens, it HAPPENS.

3. There is a highly supported theory that the reason our fingers get pruney underwater is to help improve our grip. It's only a theory, as most scientific things are, but it's still fascinating. If you don't believe me, you can read about it in this short article.

4. This lid allows you to turn a mason jar into a travel cup. I got irrationally excited about this because I only have "hot" travel containers, nothing simple for cold drinks, and I have plenty of mason jars. If you ever want to buy me something, this is it.

5. The song "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea is highly, highly infectious. It's been stuck in my head for over a week, and I like to make Brooklyn pretend she's dancing along with it.

6. There's a cat that plays Jenga. He's probably better at it than you.

So, there we are. I'm sure next month will yield something more fruitful, as I will be more prepared for the blog! Stay tuned for more, and if you have any ideas that you'd like to see a blog about feel free to let me know. I'm always looking for ideas. I'm too lazy to think of them myself. 'Murica.
