In case you were wondering which Disney princess I was...

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistable. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.

Okay, so this is probably the billionth time you have read about Wordle. Me too. But I finally fished the link out of my "places to waste time on" folder and gave it a try. Oh Wordle, how I love thee, let me count the ways! It was not a waste of time, in fact it was delightful. I even learned some dorky new things, like taking a screen shot, saving to a PDF and then making a PDF into a JPEG. Since I am always just faking it when I do something fancy on the computer, it brings me great joy to figure out things I never thought possible. (I give 99% credit to my Mac though.) So anyway, I made this little guy in a few minutes and I am quickly obsessed with it. I need new price tags and business cards for the shop and upcoming boutiques and suddenly I have them. Who me? Did I go to grad school for graphic design? Why, that's so sweet you asked. Yes, I went to the University of Wordle. I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I hear they are enrolling right now for the Fall Semester. Go over there and apply.

Well the only one having a party in my tummy is this wild baby. She seems to be constantly making campfires. Perhaps to roast smores. She then proceeds to stab me with the roasting forks. But that is another story completely.
Halley is addicted to TV. Lucy watches about 20 seconds before running madly out of the room in search of destruction. I blame it completely on Baby Einstein. Our friend Kristen likened them to baby crack. Halley got a taste of the Einstein drug very early and has never quite shaken it. I never let Lucy watch it, for fear she would need rehab like her big sister.
So I am a mean mom that lets them watch one show a day. By one show, I mean they can either choose from Veggie Tales (for the Christian in me) or Yo Gabba Gabba (for the indie music lover in me.) Twenty minutes. That is all they get. But honestly, I am okay with that.
Because I have found that most kids shows are AWFUL. Horrible. Either they have characters with bad attitudes and no consequences, or they are simply intolerable to me, the mom who sits with them watching.
On vacation we didn't have our much used DVR so we were at the mercy of whatever was on during the alotted time. Halley was in a glazed over stupor. Lucy was climbing up the balcony (standard). I was trying my best to tell my little addict why we don't say those words, or do those things in our family.
Not worth it.
So I am happy to be home to the DVR and thankful that Halley still believes that our TV can't get the same shows that the Bass Lake TV got.
Not a single day goes by where we don't sing some sort of song from Yo Gabba Gabba to help us through toddler issues. If you have never seen this show before, please find it on your TV. A handful of new episodes are airing this week and I can't wait.
This video below is from the very first episode and I have to tell you that this simple, silly song completely revolutionized our girls' eating habits.
I heart you Brobee!

I have made hundreds of these signs. Every birthday, wedding, Etsy etc. You would think that I would have made one for our family first. Ten years. Big deal. Mark it forever with a sign. Well, the signmaker's family has no sign.

Since this little child ceases to amaze me with her antics (check out this morning's picture) I dug up the original email I sent to my friends regarding the inaugural Poopgate 2007. We were trying to coordinate a girls craft weekend and I was beyond desperate for a break. Enjoy.

That if I want to run into the grocery store to buy ONE THING I have to be prepared with snacks, sippy cups, time outs and drama?

Jason left at 4am to drive up to USC for the game today. Us girls are here at home cheering on our favorite Trojans. I think Lulu would rather play football than cheer for it. Loving her old school pigskin pose.
