Silly Songs

Lucy is a performer.
She loves to ham it up, is constantly running on all fours, and demands to be the center of attention (NOthing like the other three of us).

This is, of course, unless she has an audience other than immediate family.

She recently begged to be in a talent show at school. Knowing her daughter, my mom talked to her about it being a little different than performing in the living room.

She insisted.

So, she practiced and practiced. She had a huge production planned- she was going to dance, tip her hat, twirl and sing.

Here was the final show:

Tres Años

Although is seems a LOT longer (in a good way, of course)...

Three years ago today:

Typical Tuesday

To spice things up around here, I've decided to do a "Typical Tuesday" where I pose a question to my readers. The teacher in me just can't help but make sure you are all paying attention. :) I need participation, people!!

So, this week...I've been pondering dressing up Samantha in boy clothes.

That may have sounded a little odd. What I mean is pondering the times that I have dressed her in gender-questionable clothing. For instance, I bought her this to wear because it was $2. Fine, right? Yeah, she looks like a boy, but apparently her denim jumpers make her look like a boy too. Plus it's just PJ's and something she wears around the house.

The pondering has lead me to wonder--if she were a boy, would I be equally ok with dressing her in an obviously girl one, if for the same reasons (ie it's pj's and only at home)? And what about our pink cloth diapers?

I'm not so sure I would be...Why is that?

Whether you have kids or not, would you/have you done either case (and dressing your boy up in a dress in a changing room "Just to see what it looks like" doesn't count.)

Typical Load of Laundry

This still baffles me...(click to zoom)

Not sure how she has three piles and we each have one.

Little turkey knows something I don't...

Remedial Tummy Time

Tummy time has been a struggle for a while now.

Sam still refuses to sit, or stay on her tummy for longer than 20 seconds.

So remedial classes have begun:

Motivation? Unlimited access to mommy's belly button lint belts, buttons and zippers.

But the instant we're bored

The shoulder drops, telling me,

"K, I'm done now."

Sneaky Saturdays

(I've decided to start a weekly post of Sneaky Saturdays. Why sneaky? Because I'm slipping in things I've found that relate to Shaklee in some way. So Saturdays will be dedicated to fun facts or stories about health and Wellness. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy sharing!)

To start off Sneaky Saturdays is a series of the 7 Sneakiest Secrets Nutrition Companies hope you never find out about.

Secret Number 1 – All sizzle – no steak! These are the companies that brag about the added ingredients that are HOT on the market at the time. For example, Lutein for eye health or Gingko for mental acuity.

The secret is that the amounts included in the product are too tiny. Often only 1/1000^th of what is necessary to gain the health benefit, but you will pay extra for the perception that you are getting enough to change your health.

Shaklee does not participate in sizzle. Their nutritional products are based on solid science, not on marketing hype. What is on the label is IN the bottle, at the proper amounts for you to see health results.

Wear out your body, WHERE are you going to live?
