FFF - Mommy & Me

Sarah's FFF them this week is mommy and me. I realized that I really don't have very many pictures of just Gabriella and I, especially recent ones. I need to change that.

Here are a some that I dug up. I couldn't pick just one or two.

This New Year's Eve

Oh and since we're talking about being a mom, I have to add this to this post. Click here to see a contest that The Today Show and Teleflora are sponsoring.

So, check out the categories.... What do you think of the Non-Mom Mom category that includes Grandparent, stepmom, or mom to adopted children ???????????????????????

EDIT : Apparently they got such a firestorm of response, they changed the category name to "Adopting Mom". Yet, it still lists grandparents and step-moms. And while that is a better label than non-mom, it still annoys me that they separated this all out into categories. Why not, just mom, period?

I get ticked about certain things and cringe sometimes over certain language that is used, but as a rule, I HATE the way we've become so darn PC in this day and age that we can't hardly say anything without offending someone. I'm not easily offended and can usually brush stuff off. That being said, this freaking pissed me off and offends me greatly.

I'm a non-mom mom???????? And my mom is as well since I was adopted? How about all of the loving step-moms out there who are sometimes the only mom that child knows? And Grandparents.... OK, so in the case of a grandchild, they aren't the mother. But, unless I'm missing something, you have to be a mom to become a Grandmother.

I'm assuming if they hold a Father's Day contest, the same categories would apply to dads. I'm sure Ferdy would beg to differ with the label that he's a non-dad dad to Gabriella. Why are there even categories????

Well, this non-mom surely won't be using Teleflora to send flowers to my own mom who's considered a non-mom to them.
