What I know my girls see:
- that their Mama spends a lot of time working in a business she created from an idea.
- that it’s OK to leave a mess behind to go on to something more fun.
- that we are lucky enough to live in an area that MILLIONS of people from around the world make a pilgrimage to.
- that their Mama kisses them more than 100 times a day.
- that their Mama accepts every kiss and every hug snuck in to her between whines and begs and laughs.
- that their Mama is the best colorer in the world.
- that their Mama is a teacher and wants them to constantly learn in their playing.
- that it’s good to show their emotions and let the tears fall.
- that good food is good to eat.
- that they deserve what they earn and they earn through positive behavior.
- that they learn what TO do and not what NOT to do.
- that they will always be protected.
- that they must trust their Mama no matter what she expects of them.
- that their mama ‘knows’ everything but is not perfect.
- that they are loved deeply.
“- that their Mama is the best colorer in the world.”
Of course you are.
<3
You should vlog the girls. And you, too, because yeah, that’d be fun.

“that they learn what TO do and not what NOT to do”
I LOVE this one! Why bombard them with everything they aren’t supposed to do when you can shower them with all the cool things they CAN do!
Found your blog from the People’s Party RSVP list! Label Daddy (and the blog team) will be in Chicago too. Hopefully we can network and meet ya!

really, if they do something they shouldn’t, i try my best to tell them what they sholud be doing.
Not: “don’t touch that”
Do: “hands to yourself”
it’s more of a brain thing where your brain remembers only the last word or so of the command – kind of makes sense if you think about it.
What a great list!

Your girls are so lucky (as you said) to be born in America. There is no better place in the world to be a girl or a woman or a man. We are blessed.
Thanks for the sap!
