Let’s just get this thing started…Holiday Shopping

I know, I know. It’s barely August, but it’s time people. Time to start bookmarking, tagging and thinking about the Holidays.  I came across these little Christmas tree ornaments from Solutions magazine. They didn’t have a picture of the cupcake selection online, but they do in their magazine (it’s red and white with a cherry on top).

First man in the world to give birth shows off his new baby girl
By Tom Kelly, Mail Online
PUBLISHED: July 24, 2008

Thomas Beatie says he is just like any other normal father.

But he is about as far as you could be from typical. He claims to have given birth to the child.

Although born a woman, Beatie had his breasts removed and lives outwardly as a man after changing his gender to male.

The 34-year-old says he retained his female sex organs because he intended to have children one day.

He told the News of the World: ‘We see ourselves as a traditional family - husband, wife and child. Nancy and I have strong family values and will raise Susan with integrity, compassion and respect for all people.

‘Like any proud dad I look forward to being a huge part of my daughter’s life. I can’t wait to watch her and Nancy bake cookies and cupcakes together.’
