Back tapping. Don't try to rush it. Don't lean on my crib either. Use your core.

Mommy likes to call daddy at work to talk about feelings. He loves little gestures like that.

Someone's in the bathroom. Be right back. Want to watch.

Am I mistaken or do most newborns regularly throw out gang signs? So sad. Little street babies.

We're all in makeup right now prepping for spontaneous Facebook photos of us "just hanging out."
The only caption on the photos will be "blessed."

My mama is so brave. Not many people would feel comfortable walking out of the house with their hair looking like that.

Up early. Packing. Rushing. Not sure if we're going to the beach or leaving for an international flight.

Juice, frozen fruit, & wine in the magic bullet she never made me baby food with.

Dear mama's friend. I don't have a fever. She just doesn't want to go. Don't worry, she lies to me, too.

Being carried surfboard style to the car. Overall, I'd give this trip an F-

Toddler Tip: Interrupt the bedtime story at least two times per page with questions that have nothing to do with anything.

They need to choose. Teeth or hair. We're not going to brush both daily.

Hi daddy. Hurry home. She just changed into different pajamas and Googled "how to make mojitos."

Not even noon and mama is fading. Extended blinks. Wake up, lady. We've got 6 hours to go. YAY!!! :)

Got into the pantry and helped myself to the bottom tip of several ice cream cones. Stuffed!

I'd like to see the Wonderpets show up at an actual emergency singing about teamwork.

Laughcrying.

Gummy vitamin. Feel my strength coming back. I'm ready to move forward.

Emptied a family size box of cereal on the tile. Sounded just like a cool summer rain. Mmmmm. It really is the little things in life.

I know why they call it "high" fructose. I'm so messed up right now.

"Each day I learn some more." Obviously not, Caillou. Elmo isn't even human and he's doing laps around you daily when it comes to wisdom.

Watching daddy shower. Family is more important than privacy.

Sometimes when mama says, "I can't deal with this crap," she is being literal. #diapersforlife

Why does my mom assume I want to play with every kid around my size? Do adults select friends by height?

Every single one of my childhood photos has been Instagramed making it look like I've spent my life submerged in Earl Grey.

Mommy's looking for her phone. It's hiding. :)

Miss my placenta sometimes. We were as close as Tom Hanks and that volleyball in Cast Away.


Time to enter deep sleep. My goal for the night is simple: wake up in the big bed. You know this!

Almost 4PM and we've yet to visit the park. Lowering my expectations for life.

Every time a shirt comes on or off I feel like I'm being pushed through the birth canal again. toddlerproblems

Found a boo boo from several weeks ago on my leg. Made up a new backstory and angled for a fresh band-aid. Denied.

No story tonight. Guess the 8PM primetime television lineup is more important than my growing mind.

Just saw one of my drawings in the trash. OMG. :(

Accidentally said I wanted an Awful for breakfast. Meant Waffle.
She laughed in my face and told Facebook. :(

Thanks for letting me share, Honest Toddler!!

Yall have a great weekend!



Busy Bag Swap!

My old Mommy and Me group
got together in Dallas last weekend to do a "Toddler Busy Bag Swap"...
Busy Bags to carry with us for our Busy Toddlers. :)

There were 8 of us, so each person made 8 bags of our activity,
and then we each grabbed one!
Now I've got 8 different portable activity bags to take with me wherever needed...
doctor's office, restaurant, car trip, etc.

null

Our kiddos had not seen each other in a long time, so they played hard while all us mommies got to catch up a bit.
They spent some good time jumping in Clark's crib...
Abigail clearly had fun. :)

null

OK so here are the activities everyone made...
Each person just put them in Ziploc bags or in pencil bags.
These were all awesome ideas, (several from Pinterest I'm sure!)

color sorting with paint samples
null

velcro popsicle sticks - can attach and make shapes
null

counting cards - with numbers and dots
null

stencil coloring
null

"build a sandwich" - with fabric pieces and in a sandwich shaped tupperware
null

"button train"
null

felt face with lots of "features" to play with
null

matching animal cards
null

So fun, right?!
I can't wait to use these...they'd even be good rainy day activities,
things to only bust out every now and then to keep it fun.

null

Our littles all had a BLAST together!
They even snored all together in Clark's crib...CUTEST thing ever.

null

the "seconds"...

null

Abigail and one of her BFF's Maddy "catching up" over some fun toys.

Thanks to Rose for hosting us...
I love all you mamas and cherish you so much!!

*If you have an up-and-coming toddler...I highly recommend making bags like these!
they are seriously life-savers sometimes!*

prayers and potties

Potties and Prayers.
That's what I am committing my next three days to,
with an all-out focus
that I know the Lord will give me,
because He's asked it of me.

Yes, even about the potty part...
I am embarking this weekend on some
hard-core potty training
for my sweet little girl...
Ill share more about the method we're using in a different post.
(when did she get this big?!)
She's so ready. And so am I.
I'm proud of her already, I know she will do great.
I have prayed for the Lord to show me when the perfect time is to do this,
and I feel like He said now.

null

And I also feel like He has asked me to have
a renewed focus on prayer.
There's lots in my life that needs commitment to praying about,
that I have just gotten by with, crying out to Him in crisis,
rather than "being" with Him throughout every moment.
To be in His Presence, that's what I need.

null

So I will miss my blogging for a few days,
but will pick back up next week.
I look forward to reporting to you
about how things are going,
with the potty training, as well as with the time spent with the Lord.
I'm hopeful it will all be good.

I'm praying that this weekend of committing to the potty and to prayer,
will be a life-changing weekend for both of us. :)
