The things kids say...

Kids really do say the silliest things and they are so smart too.

Starting at the age of 1 for some...it's crazy how they know so much.

Be careful what you say around them because they will pick it up and just say it when you least expect and 99.5% of the time it's hysterical.

"Don't touch my brulees"

"Mom, I love you so much"

"Dad, you're the best dad in the whole word"

"My clothes are done, they're done upstairs"

"Are we putting money in your bank?  my bank is at home it's a pink piggy bank"

"Everything smells so good now" <<<this after covering practically every layer of the room with baby powder.

"This is broken, papi needs to fix it"

"This needs batteries, go get some"

"There's no more <insert something we're out of> we need to go to the store and buy some more"

"barbeque sauce"

"Oh no! she made a mess, what the hey!"

"I can do it!"

I love my kids!

There's just so much more that they say.  Everything is so cute and funny.  I'm savoring what I can until the day they start talking back to me.  :)  

I'd love to hear what others experiences are and what their kids say. 

Common Courtesy

Maybe I am old fashioned, but I think there is such a thing as common courtesy, which seems to truly lack all around.

-saying please, thank you and you're welcome
-holding a door
-non foul language
-RSVPing
-keeping out of others business
-knowing boundaries

Whether it's at work, outside or at home these are practices that should be best followed.  Lack of common courtesty and plain ol' kindness is what's making us look so ugly.  We really  need to look at ourselves and see how we would like to be treated and then treat others that same way.  Kill them with kindness!  I know it's hard at times, but give it your best shot.

I wonder what others think about this.

First Blog

Ok, so this is my first blog post, so be kind and give me a few to get myself together with this. 
I am going to blog about practically everything. 
From every day life, news, kids, family, friends, places to visit, foods to try, video games, new technologies, I will be posting from the outside looking in or even just from my own real life experiences. 

I hope you enjoy the blog, find it entertaining, interesting, informative and just fun to read.
I'll keep it simple and to the point.

Enjoy!

Being a Mother

As you grow up you never truly realize how much a mom does and how much she absolutely loves, cares and worries for you until you have children of your own.

The very best blessing in my life was during the birth of both my beautiful girls.  Although they are still at a very young age I would say that I suffer a lot with worrying about them both immensely.  I want to protect them forever and never see them be hurt in any way.  I want to always see their wonderful smiles on their faces, see the crazy things they do, and hear the quirky things they say.

So to everyone who has children, is expecting, or will have in the future, it is one of the most amazing experiences in your life to have a child, see them grow and raise them.  Watch them run around and play, see them smile and talk, fall and get up.  Each day is a new day of them teaching you how to enjoy life all over again.

For those who are unable to have children, there's a reason for everything and you just have to view it as that...You may have been made stronger for another path in your life.  And of course there are other options out there. You are truly an amazing person, period.

For those who choose not to have children, it's your choice and you know what's best for you and your life which of course is completely respectable.

We all had a mother.  We should all be thankful for being here and knowing that our mothers made US happen.
