- The grass is NOT always greener on the other side.
- Children say the darnedest things.
- A toddler crying when they realize you are out of their sight will melt your heart.
- Daddies are meant for adventure, Mommies are meant to worry about what will happen as result of those adventures.
- “Daddy only activities” make me nervous.
- Mommies have every right to say “I told you so.
- Tag-teaming is way easier than going it alone.
- Children don’t sleep in, no matter how little sleep the mama gets.
- The distance between causing a child to say “this is the worst time in my life” to “you’re the best Auntie April I’ve ever had” is not very far.
- Becoming the parent of a 4 year old and an 18 month old was not intended to happen overnight.
- Routine is a good thing.
- Macaroni and cheese is a lifesaver.
- A Dad who cooks is an amazing thing.
- Sippy cups are a great invention and anyone with little kids should have at least 10 per child.
- Sleep is NOT over-rated.
- Phinneas and Ferb is funny…even the 4th time around.
- A DVR is a blessed thing.
- Teaching a toddler where the recycling bin is saves you a lot of trips to the kitchen and gives them a great sense of pride.
- Little girls cannot run without squealing.
- Hat day is cute and fun.
- The living room floor will never be toy free…why even try?
- Refrigerator magnets will not stay on the refrigerator when there is a toddler around.
- Having a phobia about baby slobber doesn’t last long when you’re responsible for a toddler 24 hours a day.
- There is a time/space continuum issue when trying to entertain children for very long periods of time.
- I'm perfectly happy being an Auntie and not a Mommy.
