Friends

Aren't phased when you don't keep your hands on 2 and 10...

Pontificate with you about profound matters of great importance...

Like who will be Cinderella and who will be Sleeping Beauty.

Friends challenge you to reach greater heights...

Talk your candy-averse Mommy into skittles with breakfast...

Help you clean up your messes...

Let you bounce off ideas...

Don't draw attention to the cholesterol content of your shopping cart...

And work beside you to make things more beautiful...

Friends are the glue that holds our lives together.

After 2 Halloween parties AND an ice cream party at school, I'm not sure any Mommy points were gained by offering a few animal crackers in lieu of candy for post-trick-or-treating snack. It was the best I could do under the circumstances...

You're never too young to make the most out of a hairdo. There's no shame in second-day braids.


"When am I going to upgrade to the iPad?!"

When Mommy gets to upgrade to a phone that doesn't take such blurry pictures of her cute kid.



But if you gave that look to the Apple folks, they just might send you one anyway...
