Same Great Product - Different Name

Our No-Throw Sippy Cup Holders will now be known as Toss-Me-Not Sippy Cup Holders.

Why, do you ask? Because my fabulous attorney emailed me today to let me know that someone (rolling eye's) has beaten me to the punch and has trademarked the wording "No Throw". Dang!!! Ok, ok...so she registered it almost 5 years ago but still, it really worked. I see why she did what she did.

Nothing is written in stone yet with the "Toss-Me-Not" name so if anyone has any better idea's, I'm all ears. My web designer may not like me changing it again as she has to go in and edit some photo's and un-do any work that may have been done to my bag toppers but I'm willing to risk it. She's awesome!

But like I said...same FANTABULOUS product, different name!

The effects of Private School

"D'' is 6 years old and has attended private school for 2 years now. He's in the first grade and this little story happened today.

"D" comes out of his room with a blanket wrapped around his shoulders like Batman. He jumps on the couch and then off the couch on to the floor. At this point I'm trying not to yell out to him "STOP jumping on and OFF of the furniture!!!" :-) After landing on the floor he wraps himself up completely in his blanket and says, "Mom, look! I'm a larva." Not, "Mom, look! I'm a burrito" or "Mom, look! I'm a taco" but I'm a larva. LOL!

Also today, "Mom, how old is Jesus?" "Oh no, I thought. I have no freakin' idea." So what did I say? "Ask your daddy, son.

Favorite Motherhood Moment

In honor of Mother's Day approaching (and the giveaway happening over at 5 Minutes for Mom), I thought I would share my favorite motherhood moment with my readers.

When I was pregnant, we took "D" to the ultrasound appointment that would tell us if we were having a boy or a girl. When the tech was sure of what she was seeing, she said "It's a girl!" My 5 year old son's reaction..."OH NO!!! I don't want a sister, I want a brother!!" I was overjoyed and so was my husband but "D" was far from happy.

That's what makes photo's like the one's below so special. Once she was born, his immediate love for her overpowered any sour feelings about girl cooties, pink pony's and barbie dolls. He adores his sister and wants more then anything to be the one to teach her all the things that really matter in life, or what he has learned so far. He's a great big brother and an even better son.

Motherhood to me is...

smiling for the camera even when you feel like crap.

having the support of a wonderful husband who would gladly gain weight if it made you feel better.

managing to squeeze in one last beauty pic before baby.

having fun no matter how "professional" the situation.

discovering that my little boy...

is now a young man.

realizing that my son has inherited my silly side.

the moments that take your breath away.

a first that will last forever in your heart and in your mind.

allowing time to stop so you can just relax and enjoy those special moments.

discovering that my daughter has been influenced by her brother, in more ways then one.

allowing kids to be kids and...

trying to remember that when they become a human buffet.

Motherhood is this...

It's simple and sweet and full of happiness, love, excitement and so much more.

Bean's 1st time in sand

We went to Panama City Beach in Florida over the weekend and Bean had her first encounter with sand. She sat motionless while in deep thought. "What is this crap my mom and dad put me in and why is it sticking to my body?" Her sunscreen was caked on so it wasn't very easy to brush off the sand.

We didn't stay very long because we were totally unprepared. No cash for an umbrella and chairs, the only one with a bathing suit on was "D" and somebody...was so grumpy that the trip was...well...not very fun. But none the less, we got a few photos and here they are.
