…because you have other shizz to do.
Where I’ve been this week on the www.
All summed up so you can move on with your life.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The What Parents Say. What Parents Mean. chart from the blog post of the same name was shared approximately one gagillion times on Facebook, proving I’m a really good translator.
Not to shock you, but I can be a bit of a smartass. But so can you. Which may be why my Pinterest-friendly cupcake recipe made the rounds, despite my blog (and everyone else’s) crashing earlier in the week.
I don’t want to start crying again, so I’ll just quickly say that your comments, sharing, and kind messages about the anniversary of 9/11 and my post about what stays with me meant more than I can say. That’s all I can say about that.
My 7yo broke his arm for the 1st time, and your tips, advice & well-wishes were greatly appreciated.
I got to announce the winners of the Raina Telgemeier books I was giving away on @TheMomPledge blog.
My 5yo daughter said she had a stick in her hair. This is what I discovered:
Speak softly and carry a big stick. From a pricker bush. That’s taller than you. On your back.
She also expressed her dislike of the word “No” in a way only she could.
I got my ass kicked by hearing a “No”, too. Your comments made it all better.
I co-designed some jewelry with MyPrettyChicBoutique to sell on WeShop. Do you like?
In Silver or Gold.
See the COLORFUL AGATE NECKLACE on WeShop here.
Shown in Silver Night. Also in 3 more colors.

My husband just came out wearing a striped shirt and my 2yo told him he looked like Steve from Blue’s Clues. He changed.

Screamed at the grocery store by my 3 y/o: MOM. I SAID: WHEN ARE WE GONNA GO TO FUCKY FEEZES?!

You do lovely and serious perfectly, but I find people tend to push the hilarious more. Felt the need to bully people into reading this one. You rock.
Thanks for the shout out!
