I’m Snow White

Miss Cakes, our 3-yr-old is going through a princess phase. She loves all things princess. Her favorite Disney princess is Snow White, so she dressed as Snow White for halloween. For Christmas, she asked for everything Snow White. Most of what she received for Christmas gifts was Snow White.

Somewhere between Christmas & the first week of 2012, she decided that she wanted to change her name to Snow White. Since she made this decision, every single time we call her by her real name, she says “No, I’m Snow White.”

As you can imagine, this can get a tad frustrating, every time you’re telling her something, she “corrects” you. So, my husband has worked with her so she says her real name, but then says “But please call me Snow White.”

A couple weeks ago, I was doing a week’s worth of laundry. I folded all the kids clothes, Miss Boo’s, Lil’ Man’s, Lil’ England’s & then realized… I didn’t have any clothes from Miss Cakes. As I sat scratching my head, it dawned on me that she had worn her Snow White dress for an entire week.

Since then, we have gotten her to wear “normal” clothes. However, she still continuously reminds us that she is Snow White.

And asks if she can wear her Snow White dress.

The forehead fuzz

Tonight at dinner, my husband informed me that I had a piece of fuzz or something on my forehead.

I brushed my hand across my forehead and asked if I got it.

To which my husband replied, “Yes.”

Fast forward an hour…

I walk into the bathroom & glance in the mirror, as I’m washing my hands. I notice a piece of fuzz on my forehead. I wipe it off, walk out of the bathroom, and say to my husband, “I had another piece of fuzz on my forehead… Unless, it was the original one, and you lied when you said I took care of it.”

He chuckles and says, “Well, it was in a more preferable spot.”

Our 3-year-old pipes in, “Daddy, you lied to mommy!”

To which my husband replies, “I didn’t lie to mommy. I just didn’t have any energy left to deal with the situation.”

Stop Motion Video: The Joy of Books

I love stop motion videos. As I watch them, I like to think about the work that had to go into filming them. This dancing books video from Sean Ohlenkamp and wife, makes my head hurt thinking about all they had to do & how long it took them to move books for just one of the frames. I don’t think I have the patience to create a stop motion video, but I’m glad there are people who do, because then we get great videos like this:

Do The Mario! {Jitterbug Style}

Swing your hands from side to side, come on, it’s time to go. Do the Mario!

Remember that bad dance at the beginning of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show? If you need a reminder, you can catch the episodes on Hulu. [My kids love watching it.]

Well, apparently, Mario & Luigi have had some dance lessons over the years and improved their little jig.

I’m still in the process of moving to a new host [hope to finish this weekend], but I wanted to share this video series from Australian indie filmmaker, Rick Mereki, with you. It features actor Andrew Lees, moving, eating, learning [and playing] through 11 countries. You can find the videos and more details about them…

I’ve had some issues with my hosting provider, so I am in the middle of transferring my sites and content over to the new web host. Please bear with me during this transfer, as there may be some moments when this blog is down. However, I’m hoping that with this transfer, we won’t have any…

Busy Busy Busy

My kids aren’t even in school yet, and summer seems to be the busiest time for us. Or maybe, life is just busy once you have four kids. Maybe it’s a combination of summer & four kids. Either way, I haven’t had a chance to post since our fourth little bundle of joy arrived. In…

Five Years Ago…

…I married the man of my dreams. Our story, however, actually began 11 1/2 years ago. I really like telling our story, because it feels surreal – like a fictional book I would have on my bookshelf. It involves a boy admiring a girl from afar, and a girl admiring a boy from afar. Boy…

The other day, I picked up a few books at Barnes & Noble. I’m so excited to dive into them, and I just started readingĀ “The Busy Mom’s Guide To A Happy Organized Home” by Kathy Peel. I’m still in the Introduction, but I came across something I have to share with you. The author has…

Miss Cakes :: three years of fun, love & attitude

A few weeks ago, I posted about my oldest turning four. Well, the day after that post my middle child turned three – and yes, I’m just now getting around to posting about it. Three years ago, I had one of the scariest things happen to me (even scarier than when I was mugged at…
