I'm a stay at home mom who's found blogging to be the best way to vent rationally. I love spending time with my family. This blog is my journal, since I find journaling to be somewhat tedious, so if you visit often, just know that things will be "real."

Stocking Stuffers

I can't believe I just wrote stocking stuffers! Good grief. Is it that time of year already? Didn't we just do this???

I love Christmas. I really do. But ALREADY?!

Another fundraiser came home with the kids. I wasn't even going to look through it. (We did the last one.) But I gave in cause curiosity apparently got the better of me, and I am so glad I did. Because I found this. Yeah!!



What in the world is this selling? I know you're asking. If you look close you can see the model holding a bag. On the bag is a round ball attached to a clip. It's lip balm that clips on to your purse, or for my use, the girls' backpacks. That way they never lose their chapstick! I know, it's genius.

These are just some of the kinds they have.





I was so excited to see that they were in this fundraiser the kids brought home. And the exact two that I wanted even! How crazy is that?? The only problem is that you can only get Twist and Pout in certain stores. Dilliards for instance, and Amazon has some. Twist and Pout doesn't sell off their website so I was going to call my sister in Utah and have her ship me some but now I don't have to. YIPPEEEE!

Good thing the girls don't read my blog:) They'd know I am throwing these in their stockings!

To see more Twist and Pout you can go here.

I just love fun stuff like this! I may have to order myself one for my stocking:)

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
