Great Advertising....

Being a business major and having taken marketing classes in college and doing marketing for my business, I'm always impressed with great ads.

The recent Old Spice guy ads are phenomenal! I've been totally mesmerized by them. Now BYU (Brigham Young University) pulled off an amazing ad similar to the Old Spice guy ones.

Here's the original:



And here's the one from BYU:


Awesome marketing! Way to go BYU!!!

Things you forget

I have discovered that there are things that you forget about being pregnant:

-How often you have to eat...things of substance,even when the thought of eating makes you sick.
-the heightened sense of smell.
-extreme emotions
-forgetfulness/absentmindedness and
-how in the first trimester you look chubby not pregnant.

I am sure as this pregnancy progresses that I will have even more little reminders, but I am not going to complain. This has been the easiest one of the four and sometimes I feel so good that I start hoping for a little reminder that I am still pregnant...beside the fact that my clothes don't fit anymore.

Our Year So Far

Every year I love to put together a photo book of what we did and how the kids have grown and then order the book through Winkflash. Last year I learned that I could put collages together for these books. I have just put the first half of collages together and thought I would share what we have done so far this year.

Mamma Mia!

So I finally saw the movie Mamma Mia! last night. I really like ABBA and with this cast I had always had a curiosity about it. It was so different that I laughed through most of the movie. Graydon watched it with me, but felt it was one of the worst movies he had ever seen.

It was weird for me to see Colin Firth in this role since the main movie I know him from is Pride and Prejudice. I didn't know he or Pierce Brosnan could sing. That really surprised me.

I found myself wanting to watch it again today and it is really growing on me. I haven't listened to ABBA for over 12 years and now I am looking up their songs on youtube. I do have to be careful because the content is not appropriate for kids...especially my kids that pick up on everything and will start asking questions.

I really enjoyed it.
