Random Tidbits. Confessional. Whatever you want to call it.

-My husband cannot conserve wipes. He has to use at least 2-3 for each diaper change. And if it's a large poopy one? It's more like 10. And during those large poopy ones, you would think he was speed racing to the finish line. It's so sporadic and nuts.

-That being said. My husband is a mad good diaper changer. Me? I'm not the greatest. Like. Really. They turn out crooked, and half her butt cheek can be seen. So I will go ahead and give him credit there.

-I am terrible at answering my phone. I screen calls. I ignore things. I am just bad. I shouldn't even have a smartphone. I might as well have one of those nokia, no texting, no internet phones. And you know what? I would survive.

-I am a terrible dog owner. Bad. I hate taking him out, and I sometimes forget that they need to eat and drink before 6pm. I mean seriously, call the dog police on me. I have surely violated the law in some way or another.

-I am slowly x'ing twitter out of my life. It really is pointless and wasting too much of my time. So besides logging in here and there, I will most likely be absent from it.

-Instagram I love though. Does that surprise anyone one bit? Please say no. For the love of pictures... I will forever love pictures. Fine me @frommrstomama.

-I was a bit annoyed reading over and over and over about Jessica Simpson and lord forbid weight she gained. The media talked. The public talked. Moms talked. I read some really nasty stuff, and I was kind of shocked by it. I'm not sure why so many people were focusing on numbers. She's pregnant. Let her be pregnant.... but again, she's a "celebrity" and I guess those people never get a chance to breathe right. Yet alone be pregnant the "right" way.

-Which brings me to Snookie. Okay. I get it. She's not the most "ideal" mother. But who is? Don't answer that. Really. I believe motherhood can change people. I believe that no one can really know what kind of mother she will be until she is one. Why do I say this? Because the love that a child brings into a mother's heart is like nothing out there. No words can describe. No one person can explain it to another. It just is. And if she feels this love, the way a mother does... believe me, she will be a good mom. Regardless of what people have to say about her. No one has even given her a chance.

-I haven't brought a coupon to the grocery store in a long long {we're talking almost a year} time. Why? Because we buy a lot of organic, natural, healthy food. And that? Well that doesn't come with a coupon. Unfortunately

-I do however have boxes {the size of multiple humans} full of Christmas presents 2012... all I got for... Free. Jackets, shoes, coats, clothes, blankets, toys, kitchen supplies, books. Yes. Christmas is going to be fun this year.

-I have a really bad mouth at work. Really bad.

-I haven't gotten my hair cut since Elliana was.. I don't know... a baby? 9 months old? Lets just say... its been too long I'm pretty sure my hair stopped growing. Yes, that long. -I cancelled our AT&T uverse yesterday because it is the worst service known to man kind. Unfortunately I haven't called the new cable/Internet company so no blogging for me for a week! -today is my hot mama's birthday! Happy birthday mom I love you thissssssssssss much. Xoxox

  1. I'm really bad about answering calls and texts, too. I have good intentions to text back, but I just get distracted or simply forget. LOL

  3. You're not the only one. I can relate to most, if not all of those. Although, I do not have Christmas 2012 yet, how'd you pull that off?

  7. I read your blog regularly, but I don't normally comment. But I just had to ask. You have mentioned these boxes of Christmas presents that you got for free multiple times and I would love to hear the low-down. You don't have to reveal the actual presents in case your family reads your blog, but I'd love to know where you get deals from and how you get them for free. That would be a great post!

  9. I just choked on my coffee at the phrase "cancelled my cable" and haven't called the new company yet. oh no, no. no. I'd die. Literally my TV addiction is not OK.

  10. I so agree on the Jessica Simpson thing. Let the woman be!!! As long as she is healthy for her and the baby who cares how much weight she gains?! Seriously, it's the one time in a woman's life when she's allowed to gain weight and not feel guilt over it.

  11. I don't do coupons for the exact shame reason! I love Instagram as well. I just post photos of my baby haha.

  12. I really hate the emphasis everyone is putting on Jessica Simpsons weight. I hope she has plenty of people telling her that it's okay to gain that much weight and that it will come off in time so she isn't too hard on herself. And about Snooki? I agree. I think even the craziest party animals can be great mothers when it comes down to it. Something changes within us when we have a baby!

  13. I love reading your blog each day! It's so fun and real. Thanks for sharing your life with all of us :)

  14. I so agree with the Snookie thing. I'm sure she'll be a great mom! And unless she's watching your kid, no one really has a right to say anything negative about what kind of mom she'll be

  15. My hubby is a way better diaper changer than I am. I'm quick. He takes his time and makes sure he gets every...uh...crevice.

    But...we both use about 10 wipes for poops. Yeah. Haha. :)

  16. I'm with your hubby on the diaper change when it comes to poopy ones. And it is a marathon because you have to get it all cleaned up before baby starts to squirm!

    Please let us in on your secrets for finding all the christmas presents for free!??!

  19. I am so glad to see you comment about Jessica Simpson! I feel the same way - leave her be - she was pregnant!!!! I put on way to much weight when I am pregnant too, actually I was just commenting to a friend about how I am 21-weeks and have already put on 20lbs, and now I may have to go on bed rest, which means I will probably gain a ton!

    Anyway, so glad to hear someone support her!

  20. My Hubs is like that with the wipes for poops. It's almost comical.

  21. I'm with Andrew on the wipes, I always use far too many! And as for Snooki, I agree one hundred percent. People are too quick to judge sometimes.

  22. Just requested you on instagram! :)

    I'm "iu09".

  23. As a person who has almost single-handedly ruined NJ's reputation with that awful show (obviously I live in NJ!), I am on the anti-Snookie bandwagon. She has made people from other states think we are ALL really like that. Ugh! Cannot stand her! Maybe she will grow up, and that will be great. And maybe she will move out of NJ??? :)

    So bad with my phone too. HATE when someone calls unless it's my mom!

  24. I totally share your love of Instagram. I'm obsessed!

  27. Our Safeway has buy $15 of produce get $3 off. Not much but it helps with organic produce! Frustrated with our food economy and that people have to balance affordability against serious health concerns!

  28. Love this post!! I am so glad someone else feels the same way about Jessica Simpson.. she's like 5'2 or something.. and she's pregnant. What do they expect?

    Also totally believe Snooki will be a good mom... she is a fiercely devoted person.

    P.S. I die without internet and TV.. so props to you!
