Hygiene 101

-


Last night while I was getting Drake ready for bed, Dylan is so excited and tells me that he wants to show me something when I come downstairs. His birthday is Sunday, so I immediately assume that he's found a commercial of a toy he wants. When I get downstairs Dylan rewinds the Tivo to a commercial alright, but it's not a product for him...


Yes! My 6 year old son rubbed my arm and said, "Yep! You're hairy!" and continues to tell me about this product the Tweeze. I don't know how many times he rewound the commercial but he knew it by heart. He told me all about how, "I could use it anywhere on my body and it pulls the hair out from the root!" He was bummed that it was $60, "Because that's a LOT of money."

Ladies, I was trying so hard to keep a straight face! I'm glad to know that my 6 year old son's got my back when it comes to personal hygiene.

That's hilarious! I once babysat for a family for a week. The 5-year old Caroline was sitting on my lap rubbing my arms when she suddenly stopped, turned around and very happily said, "you feel just like my daddy!"

I couldn't stop laughing. And yes, I still have hairy arms. Oh well.

years ago, Carson told the babysitter that she should buy some fat melting pills that he saw on tv. He was so sincere... I was SO mortified!

(he went on to tell me that he was glad that I didn't have a lot of "junk in the trunk"... he might be the only person that thinks that, but it made me happy that he thought that I was cute... get a life, Katri!!!)

That is really funny. It could have been worse. It could have been a commercial for that "embarrassing feminine odor" or "the all-new lap band procedure." Not that I'm implying that you're stinky or fat. In fact, you're skinny and smell great!

Laurie- I laughed my head off with this comment- leave it to a little boy to be brutally honest! I'm glad Dylan is looking out for his mom and wants her to look slick and hairless- sounds a little painful!

Oh your son and mine would so get along. My son was convinced that I needed the alarm you install in your house to call the paramedics by pushing one button (can't think of the name of it). You know, the one with the commercial featuring like 90 year old women? Seriously good to know they have our backs, no?

That is too funny. At least he has only noticed your hairy arms. My daughter used to grab the fat roll on my stomach and say, "its a hotdog". No it wasnt a hotdog I had just probably eaten too many:)

LOL! What is going on in their sweet little heads!! Ok- I guess they are telling us! Ha!!

I understand you working hard not to laugh! I feel like my whole day is a hoot and half the time I am trying to discipline(with a straight face of course!)

Oh Laurie! That was so funny it actually made me snort. Gotta love TV...I had worn some dark toe nail polish and my nails were stained that lovely yellow. For some reason, I didn't paint them. My kids all ganged up on me and told me I needed to buy some Lamisil to treat my foot fungus.

That is seriously funny. Don't you love when kids tell such harsh truths? Tonight when I was tucking Little L into bed she told me that I "look like a donught today"!
Just what I always wanted to look like, something large and round!

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
