grab it, write random and link up below!
1. backtalk. the other day i was feeding hunter dinner (which, by the way, is the day's hardest chore) and i told him to open wide and eat his green beans. his reply was "no." i said, did you just tell me "no?" his reply, "yes." ugh. hey, at least he admitted to it. more proof that no matter how cute they are, they're still little sinners that need to learn obedience.
2. dmb = dave matthews band. i had his newest cd on the other day in the car and my mom was with us. i asked if she knew who he was and she asked if they were a christian group. oh mama, you are so cute. i can't laugh too much; kelly just introduced me to dmb a few years back. ; )
3. unladylike. you know you have a really good friend when you're at a restaurant, your daughter has the biggest blowout in the existence of blowouts (very unladylike), and your friend goes to the bathroom with you, wipe in hand, ready to start cleaning. thank you amy. by the way, sage only poops once/week (apparently it's common for breastfed babies - weird) so when she poops it smells like everything i've eaten in the last week all rotting together in 120 degree heat. you get the picture?!
4. not your average teddy bear. coming to a store near you... it's a placenta teddy that you get the privilege of sewing together for your child:
5. the best for last... a giveaway! my blog bud, natalie, from the busy budgeting mama and natalie catherine design has a real surprise in store. (let me just say that natalie is so stinkin' talented at design that i get jealous.) natalie has just opened the pretty paperie and wants to give you a chance to win big -
okay, so get to it! how to enter (each is counted as a separate entry; leave a comment for each):
1. visit the pretty paperie and tell us what you'd pick if you win.
2. visit the busy budgeting mama and become a follower.
3. become a follower of lowercase letters.
the giveaway will close sunday, september 19 at 9 pm est and the winner will be announced monday, september 20. thanks natalie for sharing your pretties with us!

Your mom is so cute ;) I think Alex already knows more about music than I do and he's eight! When do they become little adults and I become uncool {was I ever?} :)
Alex had the best blowouts too...and it was always when I was out! That's a great friend you have :)
And ewwww to the teddy bear. I'm proud to give birth and make life...but I'm not really excited to sew a teddy out of that 'creation'! That is a little wierd!
Happy Monday!!! And how I wish i was creative like that {and the cupcakes are making me hungry this morning!}
Your mom looks like a very kind person. :)
Nursing babies' BM's note -- I've heard constipation is almost impossible for babies who are strictly breastfed. With my 7 kids, I've found that to be TRUE! Several of mine went 2 weeks w/o a BM (I'm not exaggerating - I kept track!) - and when they finally went, it was all perfectly normal. Amazing, huh? God makes breastmilk so it absorbs perfectly in baby's body - yet another reason to nurse!
I love the customized labels - and I agree those cupcakes are making me hungry (but the placenta bear ruins all that!).
Your Mom looks like your sister and you be sure you tell her I said that. I love it when someone tells me that I look like my daughter's sister. :o) What a funny, funny "blowout" story, I think every Mom has one.
Love, love Pretty Paperie! Will bookmark that site for sure.
A happy, happy week to you!
Dave Matthews Band is great! But the PlacentaBear? I've never heard of such. I'm in my OB/Peds semester in nursing school currently, so I'm going to share this piece of info!
On another note, I LOVE the designs from Pretty Paperie! Tooooo stinkin' cute!
Since I'm getting married in JUNE and it will be OUTSIDE in the good ole' Georgia heat.. I am definitely going to have bottled water available for the guests. What better way than to customize the label according to our theme?!
I am the busy budgeting mama's newest follower :)
And, I have followed you for quite some time!
Have a great Monday! ♥
First....that teddy bear simply makes me sick. I can't even repeat to other people that I saw it.
Second, your mama is precious!
I would take ANYTHING from Natalie's store. She is super talented, and I wish she'd come to Alabama and plan Addison's 2nd birthday and the arrival of my second baby. I wonder if she's out for hire???
I follow Natalie at Busy Budgeting Mama.
I follow you!
I <333 DMB! Happy Monday <333

Hunter... he's so cute, it's hard to believe that he wouldn't be a perfect angel. Alas, "for we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." :)
Oh wow, your mom is *very* funny. I love it!
Have a wonderful Monday! Love you!
Elizabeth Rose
labels...all the labels! Give me the labels!

Have a great day!

UM! Well…that teddy bear? I don't know about that one. Ha! You and your mama are some gorgeous ladies! And about the blow up diapers. I had a few of those in my day. No fun!
The giveaway is awesome! Will have to take a peek!
Take care and have a wonderful blessed day!!!

Lovely pictures. Except the teddy. That just creeps me out. What happened to burying it in the back yard and planting a tree? (not that I did that -- I believe all of mine were disposed of in the hospital) Making a bear, now? Can you imagine when the recipient gets married? "Honey, I've got this teddy bear made out of my mother's placenta...shall we put it on the mantel?"
Okay. I'm done.
Your mother is beautiful -- like you.
Blow-outs. I get that. Enough said.
Have a wonderful Monday. And are you proud of me? I linked up today!!
Rachel
first of all, the teddy bear is gross... i cannot imagine that ever being ok... i think that is because it isn't ok.
second, i love her etsy shop, i've thought about so many things that i would want, but- i think i'd go with the cupcake toppers!
happy monday!

That placenta teddy bear is uber strange, if I do say so! ;)
I love reading your thoughts. That bear grossed me out sooooo bad! What in the world are people thinking....ewwwwwwwww!

Ok, I cant stop thinking about that teddy bear and Im about to throw up!!!
You and your mom are so pretty! Yall could be sisters!!
Ew, a placenta teddy? Ew ew ew!!!
Sorry, that just distracted me from the rest of your miscellany. :)
I love your miscellany Monday. It always cracks me up. Placenta bear - ew. How on earth did you find that?!
Hi Carissa hope that you have a blessed week. Just a note, # 40 was my link and it doesn't work so I had to post again, can you delete that? Just wondering thank you.
Your Mom could definitely be your sister. :) Two very pretty ladies.
I know just what you mean about the amazing breastfed baby poop! Yes, I can smell garlic I have eaten in his poop. Charming, isn't it?
As for the placenta bear, I think I'll stick to burying them under trees. . .

And, just a random comment, that placenta bear is gross. Who would do such a thing? Ick.
I am still working on the back talking and my kids are 19, 16, 10 and 7. Oh your poop story is hilarious. I cannot imagine what a week's worth of food I've eaten would smell like in that heat. Have a fabulous Monday!
Ok, your mother is gorgeous! You have great genes :) And DMB is AH-MAZING! We went to his show this weekend. Love love.
Yes, obedience is a long, consistent process...one that I'm still learning...being obedient to my Father! Your mom is adorable and I love Dave. Now Amy sounds like a great friend...everyone needs an Amy. That bear is creepy.
Thanks for your comment today! Your Husband must have an amazing story!
Also What the heck is that bear all about?!
Haha, DMB...that's cute! You and your mom look quite a bit a like! Happy Monday. :)
That teddy bear has to be the nastiest thing I have ever seen...really?!
Z used to have the same pooping schedule, but now that he's eating solids he seriously poops like 3 times a day, ha!

I know just what you mean about the "No!" business. Let me tell you, Allie Claire told me on Sunday that "No!" she would not be wearing the shoes I picked out for her to wear to church on Sunday...The fight was on and she's not even 2 yet!!! Heaven help BOTH of us mommas!
Oh honey if the worst talking back Hunter ever does is "NO" you will have it EASY! My Autumn is a sassy mouth mess with just about everything! I'm not even sure what to say about the placenta bear. Completely at a loss of words on that one! BUT your mom is adorable. That is such a great picture of you all!

so lol'd. at the everything you've eaten rotting in 120 degree heat line. totally true though!! and my baby poops every day or so...so it's not quite as bad. lol
What a fun giveaway! I would love a set of the birth month stickers for my little baby girl/boy!
I'm a follower of yours, of course. :)
You and your mom are such beautiful women!
And I can't even tell you how awesome I think it is that you put this on your blog: "sage only poops once/week (apparently it's common for breastfed babies - weird) so when she poops it smells like everything i've eaten in the last week all rotting together in 120 degree heat." Seriously. I will be laughing randomly at that for a while.
you and your momma are both so beautiful.
