In the last week Jonathan’s grandma moved in with us, our whole family got sick, and I freaked Jonathan out by suggesting we use re-usable toilet paper. And during all that time, I learned some real life lessons.
1. Flowers from my husband “just because” makes my heart flutter.
2. Mamas don’t get sick days. Ever.
3. I have a wonderful community of friends. I already knew that, but felt it even more this week.
4. I still can’t sew a straight line. But I’m learning.
5. Hannah is not pleasant teethers.
6. Cola icee + no naps + Sam’s club = absolute craziness.
7. Cocoa roasted almonds are delicious.
8. Dyson makes the best vacuum in the world.
9. Mattresses on the floor will provide hours of entertainment for toddlers.
10. There are 130 days till Christmas. Oh yeah, I so just went there.

Most items on this list made me laugh! I must admit I don’t think I could do the family cloth thing, BUT I think it’s awesome that you even considered the possibility 🙂


Great list! I can only imagine the craziness of that Sam’s trip, glad ya’ll made it out alive. Speaking of Sams did you et cocoa almonds there? My dad and step mom left some here and I want more-very yum!

I was still laughing about the family cloth as I went to bed last night. Just the look on Josh’s face was worth retelling the post!

Haha. Makes me laugh that so many people are getting a kick out of that post. And I’m laughing that Jonathan is still looking at me like a have horns growing out of my head. 🙂
