Diary of a toddler.

I've been thinking for a while about how to write even just a FEW of the funny things that I deal with on a daily basis, and I just HAVE to share.

Any of you with toddlers currently, or Mommies who remember these days all too well...you will definitely relate.

Let me just say-
....this-is-my-life-with-Princess-Emma.

"Mommy, why are you spraying that smelly stuff on the window.  You're wiping it!  My hand art is beautiful.  When you turn around I will make it again on the window and the oven...and maybe the dishwasher too.  There. Perfect."


"Where are we? 

What is this stuff on the ground.  

It looks like cookie crumbs everywhere!  

You put me in this tight outfit 

...with no sleeves or pants.  

And a weird diaper.  

And rubbed white stuff all over my body. 

Its sticky, and smelly.  

The sun is bright, and I cannot see right!  

OH MY WORD...WHY did you bring me here, 

I do not like walking on these cookie crumbs.

  EWWW!!! 

**Screams bloody murder** 

That is a giant bath tub 

that splashes over there.  

I mean a GIANT bath tub.  

You know I don't like being splashed at all.  

Or do you know me at all?? 

Because if you did, you would not bring your princess here! 

DADDY, hold me!!!!"

(But in Emma language she simply screamed and said- "no beach.")

Emma's new interpretation of the word fork. You can imagine.  

She says it *clear as day* f*ck.  

There is NO changing it, 

no matter how many times we say, yes FORK! :) 

Sweet little innocent Emma has to name everyone's forks at the table.  

Our dinner conversation usually starts off: 

Emma: "Mommy's f*ck, Daddy's f*ck, Emmees f*ck.....Mommy an Daddy's f*ck"
...to which Garrett chuckles and says- "Yep, you're right!!" ;)




*My favorite*-

Mommy: "Emma, I'm going to teach you a very important song that is about America.  Its about the flag.  Here- you can hold a flag and wave it while we sing- 'You're a grand ole flag, you're a high flying flag....can you wave your flag and sing with me?"

Emma: (waves flag and sings in proudest voice) "Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity doggggggg"

Mommy: "Seriously??"

Summer "cuteness"

Wow, its been forever since I've written. Well...not that I have ANYTHING cute and tiny taking up every moment of my time...right? ;)

Life has been beautiful and crazy lately. But I wanted to share a few inspirations in decor and simplifying life-

1. Michaels and Goodwill (preferrably the one in Cornelius) are your best friend if you need to decorate. Here are my latest decor projects.

2. You can totally root late tomato plants from the "suckers" that you pull off of your summer ones. These little guys started at about an inch tall. Look at them now. The planter cups work great, and I just keep them in these little vintage desert cups to keep water around it. I will plant them in about 3 weeks. :)

3. Capsule closet- yes I did it!!! WITH two babies "helping" me. My capsule is not as small as the bloggers that inspired me. But I do have a dress capsule, work capsule, and each season capsule. Love the simplicity compared to chaos in my closet before. I also hung up all of my purses and bags so that I could see and use them. Instead of just letting them sit in a bin! 

4. Read the "she reads truth" app. Its a must! Its just enough in the morning to fill me for a little while. Right now she is doing fruits of the spirit and its a great reminder for daily life, marriage and parenting! And it distracts you from the crazy, nasty, world we live in.

....ps- Anyone tired of hearing the words Bruce Jenner?? *raises hand* ME!!! Escape from it all. Dwell in the Word, turn off the news, and just sit outside and listen to Him.

Have a blessed day and be a blessing.
