I'm a 41-year-old mom to two girls ages 8 and 5 desperately seeking sanity. I'm an editor and social media coordinator in business publishing. My husband, a former beach bartender, founded MouseCalls Computer Services here in Nashville. We have two mutts, three crabs, two frogs, and too much laundry. Estrogen and wine flow freely here, so kick off your shoes and come on in!
Yesterday as we are getting ready to go to the grocery…
Miss C: Mommy, do I look pretty?
Yes, baby you look very pretty.
Miss C: Do I look like Hannah Montana? (Note this is said with an undeniable Southern twang inflection.)
Puts hand on hips, pivots, and purses lips.
And just a few days a ago, as we are also getting ready to head out the door…
Come on Miss C we’ve GOT TO GO!
Miss C: Hold on mommy! (Runs down the hall back to her bedroom in a dither.) I need my makeup!
Find bargains on baby bedding.
Quality Maternity clothes at Apple Seed Boutique
Photo calendars made with photos are great for scrapbooking.
Welcome to the club – clean off a chair and sit down, it’s going to be a looooong haul – care for some dip?
OMG, I am so not ready for this! Keep bloggin’ it, so I know what I’m in for….
Nap Warden:
The amusing thing is we don’t even watch Hannah Montana at the house so I know she is picking that up from school!
The love for makeup (lipgloss) really got going at around age 2, though.
Where do they get this stuff? Seriously?
Goosey is the same way & I’m one of the most “non-make-up-y” people I know. Too funny though!
Oh were are the tennis shoes?! LOL It is amazing how fast they grow in every way! I’m so behind on reading and commenting but as always, I’ve enjoyed so much all of your shares. The girls are absolutely adorable in their costumes and “You ‘da WOMAN!”
Hugs,
Holly
I’m so glad I have boys! Not sure what I’d do in your shoes. Good luck!
Next thing you know she’d be asking for her own cell phone and Ipod
And all you can think of is how much more beautiful she is than Hannah Montana, huh? I tell my girls things like that and they just give me that ‘oh, you have to say that b/c you’re my mom’ look.
Renee:
That is SO true!
Uh-oh… it’s on now!
