I didn't know that Bahama how cool is that. I didn't know the answer so I will join Bahama in saying C.

Sorry - I had to look it up.

Why something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue (and a copper penny in your shoe!)?

To insure a happy and lasting marriage, a bride should carry something old from someone who has been married for a long time and something new, to carry into her new life. Something borrowed, "borrowed happiness", something blue, "the color blue has been associated with purity and modesty". A penny in your shoe, place a penny in your shoe to bring good fortune and protection against want.

So I was only part right. Only the penny is for wealth. Three of the rest are for happiness. And blue is for modesty. At least, according to this site.

Wow - this expression really is old!

Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.

Any of you old enough to remember the sixpence?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
