Binkies and Briefcases

I’m really excited to be able to team up with some fabulous other bloggers to bring you this giveaway throughout the month of November! My generous in-laws gave us a Keurig last Christmas and, let me tell you, it was a godsend just a few weeks later when our third baby arrived. There were many mornings when Eddie was brewing himself a cup to help keep him awake on the drive to work after Penny had kept us up for a majority of the night! We aren’t even coffee drinkers, but we love our Keurig. My favorite K-cup is the hot apple cider. Yum. And now you can win one too!

We told you about Mom Shaming.

Now It’s time for Bully Shaming. Toulouse and Tonic is calling out the bullies with a new trend called Bully Shaming, although it’s more about empowering the victim than stooping to the bully’s level.

You can go to the Bully Shaming Facebook page to add your own photo. Here’s mine.

Yes, there was a bully in our first grade class who actually did choke me while we were standing in line and, on a different occasion, stab me with a pencil. Little brat. He didn’t just pick on me, he was mean to everyone. My mom had a conference with the teacher about it, but nothing really changed. The next year my mom went back to work at a private school and took me with her so I didn’t have to deal with him any more, or any bullies really. You might not be super popular when your mom works at your school, but you don’t really get picked on either.

On a lighter note, there is another shaming trend going around, this time holiday-themed. Have you visited the Elf Shaming website yet?  You can send in a picture of your Elf on the Shelf doing naughty things. My elf is being featured today. He ate my husband’s ice cream, which is pretty tame compared to some of the very naughty things other elves are doing over there.
