I love this boy.
He is my life, he is my heart.
He taught me a tough lesson this week.
No matter how hard you work at being a mom, it’s how hard you work at being a good person that matters.
Your children see and hear everything you say and do, whether it’s directed to them or not.
Regardless whether you know it or not, they internalize and analyze everything.
Be considerate, be careful, be thoughtful, be loving, be polite, be happy.
Be kind.
You are their teacher at every moment.

I am really good at adding letters.

Frozen Yogurt is Fro Yo Ma.
Raisins are Old Ass Grapes.
Sprinkles are Rainbow Rice for Milky Ice.
I am a Mother, and the captain of our funny little ship. With two young kids and a third constantly being contemplated, I am the queen of accumulating piles and stepping on Legos. I am a night owl, who is forever exhausted. I am a perfectionist, who has perfected the art of procrastination. I am forever trying to get back to my cute, young self, and am a genius at failing at it. I am a great wife, and an even better friend. If you can make me laugh, I may follow you around for awhile. If you know Colin Firth, I’m moving in. Also, I am easily bribed with a strong latte, so keep that in your back pocket.

Nice one, Mama.

True. Every moment I’m the teacher. And there are times I really wanna be- NOT SO KIND. I need to remind myself of this every day… sometimes several times a day.

True ‘dat. It’s one of those lessons usually learned the hard way, unfortunately.

Coming from you, that is a big compliment. Thank Allison!!
I love this. I’m so tired of these mom’s who think it’s so funny to be “bitchy”. It’s not funny, it’s mean. And the kids are watching.. and learning.
