"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…

The Succession fandom is going to be a total warzone once it's canonically revealed that Greg is from LA and not Canada like everyone thought

thank you to @f1-birb for alerting me to the cherry on top of what has already been the most insane amazing weekend: I MADE IT INTO LANDO’S IG STORY!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭🥰🤩

Let's reboot Due South. Aren't you wondering what these two would be up to 25 years later? Did Fraser become disillusioned with the RCMP? Did Ray stay a cop? I'd watch them having wacky adventures as citizen vigilantes/detectives for hire.

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.

Scene that isn't in Ted Lasso but should be: Richard and Thierry getting into a fight over French vs Canadian French.

You know when there’s the posts that’s “who would play you in a biopic?”

I don’t have an answer for me personally but my parents would 100% have to be Carrie Anne Moss and Matt Perry which is. Y’know. Troubling now on account of him having passed but like. I need you to understand: my mom once mistook actual Matt Perry for her ex husband in an airport (made hysterical because my dad’s name is also Matt and so he turned around when she was like “Matt??”) and I have a knee jerk reaction of “mom??” Every time Carrie Anne Moss is on screen. Like. Its freakish

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…
