So sweet!! Mine would text me something nice and then ask where the iPad was.

Do eet!! I hope it turns into a life-long thing! *imagines doing this on her graduation day and now I'm crying at work*

My daughter and I do this necklace thing: I love you more that the stars in the sky, the salt in the ocean, etc. The other day she said that she loved me more than all the eyelashes in the world so maybe that’s what written on the back side of the pendant.

IKR. Or “go back to Puerto Rico” which is what the racists used to say to Spanish speakers when I was growing up outside Philadelphia. (And still do, I imagine). I don’t know what they would have done if confronted with a French-Algerian. Prolly explode in a cloud of sulfur.

I will never, nunca, never understand this. Like, what’s wrong with speaking languages other than Murican? I am so jealous of polyglots.

Doing the Lord’s work, you ladies are!! I’m still trying to decide between going with Kloverbox or Beauteque.

Sigh. I did it just above my ankle bone. Both legs. Both of them.

What. Get on that write-up, friend. I. Must. Know. Srsly.

Obligatory ‘dont feed the trolls’ request. I would love for them to just fade away. I really love this blog and this feature in particular b/c I get such great ideas. I kinda don't like when they share to Jez b/c of the jackholes.

With a hood!!! I bought a long sleeve/pants suit for my daughter but it doesn’t have a hood. Dork her too b/c I bought work-out leggings and long-sleeved top for me to swim in. It’s not technically swim gear but I don’t care b/c I’m covered up. I will google swim leggings but I swear I’d rather wear a space man suit,…

I don’t understand the headline either. This is why I am the crazy mom when it comes to sunscreen. And hats. And rash guards. And swim goggles so mini-budget doesn’t wipe her eyes/face in the water and thus take off the ‘screen I smeared all over her. Those poor boys.

Yes, please! To both of them!

The Caldor became a Kohl’s and business is booming. And they put a Costco across from the remodeled Wal-Mart and the parking lots are full whenever I drive by. Am I the only one who is broke? Anyway, I think i’ll try the powder!!

Yeah, well I went off to college with a set of dishes from Caldor in the 80’s so. I’m different, too.

I love beaded bags!!! Reminds of my mom when she and my dad when out for the evening. And that flower crown reminds me of my 15 yo niece and her Coachella-inspired wardrobe.

Sounds like you’re doing great! Give yourself a break. You have to bathe, she needs to be occupied while you’re in the shower, so it’s a win-win!!!

One thing I like about living in Chicagoland is the local park district. It offers camp m-f, 8-4:30, before and after care options available. She is so tired that forgets about the screens b/c it’s dinner bath bed once we get home. Otherwise, she’d be sitting on her ass on the couch watching tv while her dad naps but…

That's exactly what it is! She's beautiful but it's her confidence and personality in the pictures that puts it over the top for me!

Plus it made me think of Jacques Pepin! Bonus!

My mother is 80 and from a South American country. She said to me when my daughter was born that I should make sure “the baby gets those inoculations because you don’t want her to get sick, ok, gordiflona? You have to protect her. You are her mother.”
