The kids watched “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (the original) the other day and started commenting on how Tristen looked like Cindy Lou Who…

Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Make sure the turkey is the only thing that gets stuffed!

As if American’s weren’t obese enough… we’ve got National Doughnut Day!

National Doughnut Day is on the first Friday of June each year. The holiday celebrates the doughnut, an edible, ring-shaped piece of dough which is deep-fried and sweetened.

National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. [Wikipedia]
