Show & Tell Tuesday || "Momfessional Moments"

I am so excited for today's show and tell, not only am I excited to share some of my "momfessional moments" but I can't wait to read others. While I sat down trying to think of some of my own moments with the girls, I keeping coming back to a moment my mom use to tell me about. So I thought I'd share with that.

This is my mom and I on our 18th birthday

Darlene's Momfessional Moment: When I was a kid, my mother use to buy regular vanilla yogurt. Then she would freeze it and tell me it was ice cream! Her argument was that it cheaper (single mom) and healthier. I have no idea when I truly had real ice cream, but it explains why I love frozen yogurt and sorbet so stinking much! Thanks Mama! 

When Tensley was about 2.5 she saw a cherry tomato for the first time while we were shopping at Kroger. She instantly thought they were red grapes, begged that I buy them. So did, sure enough that child pretty much ate her weight in 'red grapes' To this day (she is currently 4) she still calls them 'red grapes' I will cry when she realizes they are not grapes and has been eating a veggie this entire time! #juststaylittle

Every year right after we push our clocks back an hour, we force Tensley to start going to bed an entire hour earlier. Typically she was going to bed between 8:00-8:30, now we start getting ready for bed at 7. Since she can't tell time yet, we pass it off that it's dark outside. One night we even convinced her to go to bed at 6:30 (she had a really rough day). I'm afraid this maybe our last year doing this, she is starting to recognize numbers. Why is getting so smart and big.

Again #juststaylittle

So I am not a cat person. Yes they are cute, fluffy and all. However I'm just not a fan and have no desire to own a cat. Sorry. 

Tensley loves cats. She thinks they are adorable. She has been asking for a Cat. 

When I was in High School I was allergy tested for different things. 

Yep Cats came up, well only partially. 

That's right I'm partially allergic to cats. Meaning I'd have to be around them for a long long time to be effected. Or I could just take allergy meds or shot, then we could have a Cat. 

Except I don't really like Cats.

So as far as Tensley is concerned. 

"My mom is allergic to cats!"

Yep. That's my case and I'm sticking to it.

Friday Favorites

It's Here, It's Here. FRIDAY has finally arrived!

I love taking care of the girls during the week, I'm thankful to be a Stay At Home Mama.

Though some weeks, I anxiously, giddily await for FRIDAY because then David is home for 2 whole days! 

This has been one of those weeks, so raise your glasses ladies. We Made It!

I'm excited to be linking up with the Erika, Andrea, & Narci for another around of Favorites. 

ONE

This Photo. 

It was the perfect sister moment. 

I can't wait to blow this up! 

{Please note: if they ever fight, I will probably hold this photo and be curled up in the fetal position sobbing in my closet. Send the search committee and have the girls make up} 

TWO

Yes, Oxi-Clean. 

I have always used this to help with fading for our laundry. 

However after the HUGE laundry fiasco this week {Read here} I have come to realize this is a stable part of our laundry and stain remover in our home. Rest assure we will never ever ever be out of Oxi-Clean. I'm sure if I could buy a bigger tub then 3lbs I would. Sorry David. 

THREE

Lily Pultizer! 

Everything arrived this week from the After Party Sale. 

I'm already wishing for Spring. Sorry Winter you had your chance to snow, you didn't. 

I'm ready to be wearing these Lily pieces on repeat all Spring and Summer long.

My sweet friend Ashely is letting me borrow her copy. Let me just say this book is amazing. I have truly been convicted in so many ways to think about how many times I say 'yes' to things. Having to really wonder if I had dismissed an opportunity for a better 'yes' because I was doing so many other things. Are the things I'm choosing to say 'yes' too, the things God really wants me to say 'yes' too. 

I'm not done with this book yet, but it's so so so good. 

Seriously check it out at your local library or order it here on amazon!

I know its not Christmas anymore, but I love this photo from our mini session.

Also Shout to this guy for always smiling even though he is completely out-numbered and totally surrendered by crazy, loud, crazy, emotional, loving girls. 

We are so thankful for you, your patiences with us, and the million dance parties.
