Crafty Corner

This is such a fun treat for the kiddos. All you do is take a muffin pan, mix shaving cream and a drop or two of food coloring and, viola, you have a least 30 mins of entertainment. Don't worry, it washes off easily and didn't stain our tub at all. This was kid tested and mommy approved! There is just one thing to remember though, any children under the age of two may continually try to eat the shaving cream and not paint with it as you can see in the pictures of my little ones. :) Happy Painting.

Mom Of the Week:

Without further delay it's time for me to introduce you to this weeks Mom of the Week award! I know you have been waiting all week for this lol. This week's award goes to THIS wonderful mom, who is really trying to broaden her daughters horizon's with extracurricular activities. Now, I have to say, for my girls I have chosen ballet, and some parents tend to go with soccer, piano, or even softball, but this mom has gone above and beyond the call of duty and is giving her baby stripper lessons. Way to go mom, you are a winner. The younger you start them, the sooner they are more likely to start failing just like YOU, and while you are at it, make sure she strips next to an open electrical outlet. Good Job!

Mom Of the Week:

I have decided to start giving out a weekly award to moms out there who just have it naturally. They are the best of the best, and deserve what I would like to call the "Award of Epic Failure." So without further delay, I present the award of the week to this mom. She knows that a regular bottle with milk for her baby just won't do. Oh no,she has to take it to the next level, a bottle of beer! Go ahead, have a few more, you won't look like a bad mother AT ALL. Drinks for EVERYBODY!!! Good Job, you FAIL.

Suck It.....

Its amazing at all the pacifiers they make these days! I mean how hard is it to mimic the shape of a nipple! Obviously its not a man doing it, they could get the job done in no time. Well i'm here to tell you we (and by we, I mean, my children) have tried them ALL, and we always come back to the same one, the Soothie pacifier. They are the ones most hospitals use these days. They come in lots of colors and have some really cute paci holders. But my absolute FAVORITE Soothie paci product out there is the Wubbanub. Its a Soothie pacifier connected to a little precious stuffed animal that lays on their chest and holds the pacifier in their mouth.I don't know how I could ever have another baby without one of these fabulous inventions, its like hiring a nanny to do nothing but hold a paci to your babies mouth.They are reasonably priced and worth EVERY penny!
