"Mom, what are some family sayings, you know, traditions, words of wisdom?"

Everyone has a blog these days, so it seems, but me. Until now.

My Disclaimer:
Honestly, I can find blogs pretentious and annoying. Now, that being said, there are a few that I follow religiously because they make me laugh, they have awesome recipes to try, amazing ideas, and they are really really really good (like Just us Four). I've shared a few of my favorites in the "things I'm obsessed with" section.

I do admit, I cruise other blogs (not in my favorites) because I want to know exactly how inferior my crafting skills are, how uncreative I am with my child, and how boring my home decor is.  For example, did you know there's a raging "chevron" obsession for the home this spring? Or that a fun project to do with your kid(s) is to fold 1000 paper lanterns and release them as a "celebrate spring" family event a la Tangled? Exactly. Hats off to you, crafty bloggers. Blogs have become to moms, what theknot.com is for brides. Too much of a good thing will make you crazy.
So to get back on track, why did I start one? It's not to tell anyone how awesome I am. Because you all know I am not. My house is a disaster, unpainted, dishes-in-the-sink kind of house. I really don't have anything I want to tell anyone in specific. I don't think I'm funny, and I don't think people will care about what I write. I started this just for the purpose of keeping track of the useless thoughts in my head, and the things that I stop and say to myself, "I never want to forget this." Oh, and I am going to work my way through our family recipes and includes stories, pictures, quotes from people as I go ... but baby steps.

So what's in the name? Honestly, it was the only "family saying" that my mom could think of when I asked her. And it fits ... you'll see.
