Another little moment from Mamaluv that makes us thankful we don't have to deal with this yet...
"Mom, can I have a Bratz doll?"
"No."
"Why? Everyone else has--"
"No. They have too much makeup on and their clothing is far too promiscuous."
"Promiscuous?"
"You know, hootchie gear."
"Hootchie?"
"If you dressed like that, the boys would get... ideas."
I sat there...

I'm standing in front of my bathroom mirror, putting on makeup. My daughter watches me with a curious look on her face."Mom, you don't have to get all fancy for us."
"Sometimes moms like to look extra nice, just for fun."
"I like it better when you just look... regular."

My friend showed up to a Mom & Tot event once. Another friend asked her about her smoky-eyed makeup technique.

This Christmas we stayed home and relaxed. Two weeks of intense family time with few social events to fill the calendar sure sounds great, but eventually all of the pancake breakfasts, loads of presents, and nonexistent bedtimes will turn 3 angelic children into 3 complete psychos. It tends to wear on a Mama's nerves.
I started with an oldie but goodie: "Go play outside with your brothers."...

Another funny one from Mamaluv...
It figures. Yesterday within the space of 3 hours or so, I learned two things:

Think baking with children is a good idea? Find out what ChickAdvisor member Mamaluv has to say about it...
Chef Rascal decided today would be a good day to bake cookies with Mama.
I carefully measured out the ingredients and handed them to him. He reached his arm up high and trickled them into the bowl from two feet up. The kid's got good aim!

Mamaluv's parenting blog is always good for a laugh - and of course laughter is the best medicine. Here's her latest. Though we have no idea what a midi-clorian is...
Rascal is no longer a generic scary wowoff. He is Dark Bayder. Apparently Husband and I have different standards with respect to age-appropriate movies. While I was busy ranting against Shrek 2 because of the sexual...
