Please Help Blog Yoda!

Is there a blog Yoda up to the task of telling me how to get one of those handy buttons? You know the one that says grab my button and has the clickable code for your very own button? I am at a loss. I am FINALLY trying to get blog savvy and have even decided to play with Mr. Linky but first things first.

The Little Things

Recipe for Family Fun:

A Bucket of suds

A Dirty Car

Rags

Hubby always lets Rew help wash the car and it is one of her favorite things to do on the entire Island. She is always so proud and happy to help Daddy.

Click Below to Join in on Friday Foto Finish Fiesta or Photo Story Friday. They are both great and perfect for my fellow photo junkies! Sorry I couldn't choose between the two. I am the Master of Indecision.

Move Over Wonder Woman

I was rolling in the floor when I read Midwest Mommy's Post on her Beaver Tails Please tell me I am not the only one that can relate! Her post helped me come to terms with the fact that my prebaby body has abandoned me and left behind more jiggle than wiggle.

Where have all my toned body parts gone? My breasts aren't even Beaver Tails. They are so far from their former glory that I think they have ditched me altogether. I should have known they would make a break for it. My second daughter's habit of sideways nursing left both nipples pointing in opposite directions. I was the "Go-Go Gadget" of nursing mothers with at least three inches of elasticity. Come to think of it, I have earned my own superhero name. Wonder Woman has nothing on me. Who needs bullet-deflecting bracelets anyway? I have your lasso of truth, two of them and mine are built in. I am so fearsome that I think even my own pelvic floor has abandoned me. So move over Wonder Woman and take your eternally perky breast with you but leave me that golden tiara.

Pretty Please.

Snotty Naughty Feels Better

Little Sis is still snot crusted but feeling good enough to make trouble and messes. She is no longer our little lady. She has earned snotty naughty status. Gone are the days of sick baby cuddles and daddy snuggle time. She is on the table, in the toilet, over the couch and off cord hunting. This is my punishment for my mom snobbery. I used to raise my eyebrows at THOSE mothers whose children were bumped and bandaged. My internal criticism went like this,

"Don't you watch your child, childproof your home?! Shame on you!!"

HA! Now I know, boy do I know! There are not enough safety latches in the world. Shame on me for not cutting those worn out, miss matched moms some slack. Special thanks to my wild and tiny princess for sharpening my mommy reflexes and serving me up some humble pie. She is just what I needed but didn't have the good sense to ask for. She is perfect in every messy, adventure seeking way.

Big Sis has finally caught Little Sister's cold. Her dainty little nose has sprung a leak and trust me, it isn't liquid gold. Our booger free days seem so far in the past. Am I next?

Introducing the Comment Queens

Here is a little secret, very often the comments on my posts are better than the posts. I loooove reading them and generally fall into fits of pee myself laughter (after two kids I mean that in the most literal way). So I created an award for the person that makes me laugh, cry, smile or just simply amuses me with a simple click of the comment button. When a comment jumps out I will post a little note, let them know and send you their direction.

The first ever comment queens are SassyPants and KC of course! Click here for the post that inspired their funny comments.

Check out these other wonderful Comment Queens. These bloggy super stars don't just leave comments. They leave laughter, love and friendship. Here they are in random order..
