Happy Friday!  Here are some videos to keep you laughing through the weekend!!  

Co-Sleeping is a nice thought, but this is seriously what it is like: 

Jimmy Fallon + Steve Carell = Hilarious 

This is just the truth: 

 Can't resist a Taylor Swift parody! 

Have a wonderful weekend! xo

Friday Treats

Thank you Friday.  And thank you nice weather.  It has been so windy here the last few days.  I don't think there is anything worse than wind.  Anyway, today was beautiful and I took the kids to the park and Charlie tried to do everything Paul did, which made me nervous but we all survived.  On to some Friday treats!!

These graphs are just so freaking funny!!


Have you seen this lip sync battle? Now I'm in love with Emma Stone

This had me in tears laughing so hard!  It is 100% on point!



I saw this picture on another blog- can't remember where (sorry) and it spoke to my heart.  Maureen and I were on the phone the other day complaining that working part time is leaving us so poor (boo hoo).  But she then remembered what a co-worker told her.  That she would never regret being home with her sweet baby.  And she's right.  When I am on my death bed, I can't imagine the thing I will be thinking is that I wish I worked more!

Happy Friday friends!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 

Ordinary Day

Last week we started to potty train Paul (more on this later).  I was literally sitting on the bathroom floor for what seemed like hours, begging him to use the toilet.  My frustration level was quite high as I silently cursed every parent I know for not sharing how difficult this milestone can be. 

Some days with Paul are hard.  Like really hard.  Hard where I even contemplated going back to work full time because he was being so difficult.  But then I ran across this video.  And I cried.  Before I know it, Paul won't want to be my side every.single.second.of.every.single.day.  And he will start to want to hang out with his friends and have me drop him off two blocks before the mall so I don't embarrass him.  And he'll start to like girls and all of a sudden I won't be the only nice lady in his life.  And I will literally start to miss sitting on the bathroom floor negotiating M&M's for pee. 

It's just the ordinary days.  The simple moments.  The ones that don't get recorded on Instagram or blogged about.  The ones we almost forget to reflect on, as there are so many and so fleeting.  When my days get hard, I hope I stop to think that these challenges won't last forever.  I hope I remember the smell of Paul's sweet head mixed with my shampoo and sweat because he won't stop running around the house.  I hope I remember when he says he wants to snuggle, he really means he wants to lay directly on top of me.  And I hope I remember when he puts his hands on my face and says, "I really like you Mommy."  Even in the most challenging times, these ordinary moments add up to a pretty fantastic life.
