Long time no post

Well, I haven't done very much with the blog......I kind of expected that it would go that way for me.  I guess that I keep viewing blogs as one of those "do people take the time to read these?" kind of things.  I personally don't really read many blogs and if I do, it is not very often.  I just don't take the time to do that but maybe I will change that so I am giving this another shot.  It might be a good thing to share my life with friends and family who are not local.  That had originally been one of my purposes for starting a blog. 

Stay tuned for more witty and humorous posts.

Perfectly Posh!

I have been using products from a company called Perfectly Posh for quite a few months now.....I am not even sure how long it has been.  Well, I finally decided to be brave and sign up!  I am really excited about it.  It can be difficult for me to find lotion that I am not allergic to because of the ingredients.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lotion!!!  So here I am on a new journey!!  Wish me luck!

Memories

This is one of my favorite pictures.  I love how happy the kids look spending time with my dad.  I really WISH that I had taken more pictures of them together before he passed away.  He loved them SO much.  He especially loved how busy McKenna was.......I think he knew she would turn out to be a lot like me and that made him laugh.  I just WISH that my parents were here to be a part of the kids lives.  I MISS them.

A New Year!!

I am SO glad that it is a new year!!!  Last year was a brutal year.  I am excited about a new year and all the possibilities! I don't make resolutions because I always break them......I make goals instead.  I am hoping to accomplish many things.  I hope it will be a wonderful year for family and friends!  

Things I have said as a parent.......

There are things that I have said as a parent that I never thought I would have to say........

-We do not show our boobs to other people.
-We do not touch other people's boobs.
-Hands off the wiener.
-Get the monkey out of your nose.

I am not really sure that you can be prepared for the kind of things that will leave your mouth once you become a parent.  Never a dull moment!!

Bad formula?

UGGGGGGG.  Sometimes I get SO sick of stupid people being allowed on the internet unsupervised and uniformed.  Nothing sets me off quicker than these women who think that they know it all about breastfeeding.  They try to make women who formula feed or who split it feel guilty for doing so. Newsflash idiots:  Some women NEVER get their milk in.  Some women DO NOT get a choice.  I WANTED to breastfeed my first child, I tried and tried and tried.......my milk never came in.  I DO NOT need someone who has never met me to make me feel guilty.  I was able to do that all on my own.  The whole thing led to horrible postpartum depression.  What matters is that the child IS fed. PERIOD.  There should be NO disagreeing over it.

As for breast fed babies being healthier......NOPE.  Formula babies can be extremely healthy, too. Both of my kids who were FORMULA fed were very healthy as babies.

So try getting the ALL the facts.  Better yet, try being supportive.

Purple Shirt

For whatever reason, Lucas always seems to be ahead of the times with his interests.  He has been that way since he was little.  He will LOVE something and once he has gotten past that phase, we will be able to find stuff for birthday parties or whatever.  Well, once again it has happened.  He has found a mask for a Five Nights at Freddy's charachter, but NO costume.  SIGH.  I AM crafty so decided that I would be all Martha Stewarty(yeah, I know it is not a word but I like is so it works) and dye a white shirt for him.  SUCCESS!  He is happy so I am VERY happy.  It was an easy process and I feel accomplished that I did something Martha Stewarty.  Yep, I said it again.  I do like it when I can have a mom win.
