Once in a while I like to let you know what this blog is all about. Maybe you’re new here. Maybe you forgot. Maybe I just like to ramble on in the written word. (I do. I really do.) So today I thought I’d tell you what you can expect from this blog by telling you what you won’t read on here.
1. Advice for changing your curtains seasonally. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I have one set of curtains for each room, and they don’t come down unless the boys are rough-housing and pull them down. I am proud that the creases from being folded in packaging when they were new have almost come out of the living room curtains without steaming or ironing. It only took four years.
2. Recipes that call for Celtic sea salt. Does it sing Danny Boy and play the fiddle? I don’t discriminate against sea salt based on origin. The stuff that comes in its own plastic grinder is as high-brow as it gets around here.
3. That you should never tell your child to, “hurry up,” because it kills his soul. Are you kidding me?! It kills my soul when he misses the bus, and I have to drive him and deal with the crazy of the school parking lot in the morning.
4. How to whittle your weekly grocery budget down to one penny using a million coupons and store loyalty programs. There’s too much math and strategic planning involved in that. And there’s no way I’m going to drag my four-year-old around to four of five different stores so he can beg for candy and cookies at every one.
5. Better ways to teach your child Spanish. To figure out how to do it better, I’d have to teach him Spanish poorly first. And that isn’t happening anytime soon. Comprende?
6. How to organize your massive flip-flop collection in magazine files by color. Who needs that many pairs of flip-flops?
7. How to make your own Goldfish Crackers. Hint: Somebody already made them for you.
Selfie with my fancy-pants non-celtic sea salt.
8. How to stand on your head on an exercise ball. I don’t have enough insurance, not even under Obamacare, to cover what would happen if I attempted that.
9. How to wash a bunch of Legos in your washing machine. If I have to start adding toys to my laundry pile, I quit!
10. Healthy trick-or-treat ideas, like handing out toothbrushes. Wanna get your house egged? You go ahead and try it.
Great post! I hear ya on the curtains, just had to glance at mine and see if the creases were out from when they were folded up! 🙂
#7 LOVE! I won’t even make cookies that aren’t round…I’m definitely not attempting gold fish!
{Kathy} Thank you so much for the giggle this morning. You are right about absolutely everything!
Thanks for the reminder about what to find and what not to find on your blog. You’re hilarious! I enjoyed this post very much. Followed you from SITS. Have a blessed day!
OMgosh! Thanks for that list, I needed a good laugh this morning! 🙂
THANK YOU! I am so glad that someone else does not mega coupon, and that I only have about a year to go before the creases come out of my curtains! I love reading your posts in my inbox. Keep on Mommying on!
Haha, I wrote about that hurry up post in my blog too. I’m sorry, I say it a lot. My daughter is SLOW.
These are awesome! Totally agree with most of them. lol
The only one that gets a pass on a tooth brush is the dentist!
Haha. Love and can relate to this post. All the #’s!
“That you should never tell your child to, “hurry up,” because it kills his soul.” No way! Did you really see that? Oh my gosh, we’d never get anywhere if I didn’t make him get his scoot on. People are funny.
Thanks for the laugh i needed it!
This cracked me up! Sounds like the same type of topics I’d avoid on my own blog…
LOL! Do people really write about those things? Making your own goldfish crackers? What would be the point of that… if I were going to make something, it would be something wicked good, like banana cream pie.
7. How to make your own Goldfish Crackers. Hint: Somebody already made them for you.
This one is my favorite. I love Pinterest, but some of these women get crazier and crazier all the time and yes, they are ALL women – guys are off overpaying for sports memorabilia and stuff. I just like to go on there and pin the pretty pictures! #SITSSharefest
Why would someone want to stand on their head on an exercise ball? That is like asking for a broken neck.
Thank you! I am all for diy, cheap things and trying it once but nobody needs to run out and spend $20 on ingredients to make their own goldfish when they come so nicely already done. seriouslyy! Some of the pins out there have to be written by people who don’t have children or have many nannies.
Oh that is too funny! The curtain thing cracked me up. I don’t have curtains on half my windows, just blinds!
