"Mommy said so..."
I must preface this rant by saying ...
I love that my husband supports me and reinforces what I say to our kids because that consistency will, hopefully, benefit us in the long run when disciplinary matters become more serious. Small kids..small problems, big kids...big problems.
But...
Why do dads use this phrase when they're trying to get the kid to do something?
"It's time to go to bed, mommy said so."
"Clean up your toys, mommy said so."
Every time I have heard my husband use it...it did not help convince my son to do whatever it was he wanted him to do. It made absolute no difference.
I also don't think my husband is purposely trying to make mommy "the bad guy"...expecting our kids to do something that they don't want, only because mommy said so.
Come on fellas...
You want your kids to go to sleep too.
You want them to eat their vegetables too.
You want them to pick up their toys too.
You want them to ... too!!!
End rant.
----------------------
I'm always willing to hear feedback, a different perspective, so please...let me know what you think!
Conversations are great...even if we don't agree! As long as they're respectful, I'm all ears!

Valentine's Day 2024
The most loving day of the year is right around the corner, and I’m so excited to celebrate with my family. Our girls are toddlers now, so they’re really starting to appreciate holiday celebrations, and it’s been so much fun. As I was thinking through our upcoming celebration, I thought it would be great to share with you all a little bit about how we’ll be partying this Valentine’s Day. Here’s…

Witchcraft doesn’t have to be detailed rituals under a full moon. Magic can be everyday. ✨
Witchcraft is talking to your plants and explaining to them why they're being re-potted
Witchcraft is wearing your favorite shirt for luck.
Witchcraft is saying "thank you" to old items before discarding them.
Witchcraft is a deep breath and a murmured assurance of, "I can do this" before a big day.
Witchcraft is keeping a candle lit on your desk because you find it relaxing.
Witchcraft is throwing open your windows and playing some comforting music.
Witchcraft is the little things, too.

I need to know the exact date and time wave three of the ST funko pops come out so I know when I can purchase Jonathan and Nancy and be sure to get them so they don’t get sold out by the serious collectors who are not going to take them down into their basement outside of the box to listen to a joy division and a cure vinyl and pretend that they are going out for a date.

Discount Mountie for the character bingo! And I mean the OG Abercrombie one, not the butt chin replacement 🙏
Heh. Heheh. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE i was SAVING THIS ONE.
BITCH ASS DISCOUNT ABERCROMBIE MODEL MOUNTIE, MY NEMESIS (shakes fist, screaming into the sky)
I'm not even going to say his name. He doesn't deserve one. Also I genuinely can't remember it because I've been calling him Discount Abercrombie Mountie for so long to distinguish him from Forgettable Butt Chin Mountie. (What fucking factory do they make these guys in?!?!)
Like OKAY I get they were going for a slap-slap-kiss dynamic between Elizabeth and Discount, but it's just. It's not cute. Elizabeth is an accomplished, kind, brave woman who sticks around in a town full of people who are rude af and does her best to make a difference. Discount Abercrombie lurks around with a pouty look on his face because he apparently has More Important Mountie Things to Do than, idk, his actual job. Notorious for arriving at conflict situations an hour late, looking so awkward on a horse I was genuinely spending a lot of screentime wondering if he was going to fall and die (he does but not until Season 5, wow talk about blue balling me), and tipping his stupid hat in the stupidest way known to man. That hat should be CONFISCATED.
My mom doesn't like it when she texts me to talk about the latest episode and I have only mean things to say about Discount Abercrombie and/or his successor Forgettable Butt Chin. Both of them are very popular with moms. So I bite my tongue, and only here can I unleash my rage <3 <3

Cooking with Your Toddler
I’ve never been much of a cook. If I’m being honest, I’ve always kind of dreaded the process of cooking. However, having children has really opened my mind to the possibilities of the kitchen. Seeing their interest in food and how it’s prepared and thinking about the responsibility that comes with preparing meals has really made me rethink the value of cooking in my home. Cooking with your…
