This I believe!


As a mom, there are a few things I believe and will NEVER and I mean NEVER falter from. They are simply listed below:


1. I NEVER let my children watch television unless it is an instructional video such as Potty Power, or Letter Factory. They really get a kick out of the History Channel on occasion!


2. I ONLY feed my children organic food and absolutely NO hydrogenated fat oils. They don't even know what sugar tastes like!


3. I read to my children EVERY night and they NEVER miss an opportunity to brush their teeth.


4. I would NEVER think of EVER drinking a glass of wine (like the La Crema Pinot Grigio 2007) or zoning out with a magazine when I'm alone with my children...at noon.


5. There is NO WAY, NO MATTER WHAT, I would EVER make my children take their SECOND bath of the day and call it "jacuzzi time" or anything of that sort just so I could read the new PEOPLE magazine or return a phone call.


6. I love getting all three children in and out of their car seats SO much that I would NEVER EVER think of leaving them in the car while I do anything, especially run in to mail a letter at the post office or something!


7. I can't even IMAGINE for one second, EVER hiding from my children in like, say the downstairs hall closet while they run screaming through the house fighting with each other and looking for me.


8. Last but not least, I would never in a million years put the new Disney movie, Bolt the Super Dog on TV upstairs and go downstairs to blog...that would be SO out of character!


HAHA! I would like to dedicate this post to a dear friend who we'll call "OKA" for the sake of not outing her in public. We are both hardworking moms who devote our life to our children, but are constantly laughing at ourselves about the things we let slide now that we have multiple children!

Our little motto is, "Make a memory every day." It DOESN'T, however, say "Make the ENTIRE day a memory!" How exhausting would that be?!?! We moms have just GOTTA RELAX a little!!!!!!!

  1. I loved this post Christie! I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes hides from the kids or runs into the dry cleaner's without all the strapping and buckling.
