My four year old cracked me up the other day when we were getting ready to go swimming at his girlfriend's house. Now, you must know that his girlfriend is also his cousin and she's 5 years older...
He came out of the bathroom with his swimsuit and told me he needed me to put on his trunks. "Why?" I asked. "Are you worried that girlfriend will see your penis?" "No," he says. "I'm worried she'll see my cute booty."
Nice. He already thinks he's *all that* Wonder where he got that idea?!
Toddlers Are Unintentionally Hilarious
Toddlers are funny. In the laugh at them, not laugh with them kind of way. As Mazzy's personality starts to reveal itself, I have found she is the source of much entertainment. Which is a welcome change to her previous two roles of "Source of Exhaustion" and "Reason the House Stinks". Below ar...

If you make this without the coconut milk and chickpeas, it is pretty traditional aloo gobi. You can also sub yogurt for the coconut milk for less fat (but less creamy)
Military Wife Life: Milspouse Friday Fill-In #46
It's been ages since I joined in on the Milspouse Friday Fill-In over at Wife of a Sailor. This week's questions are super interesting. Can't wait to read other milspouse's responses! NOTE: I am on the lookout for milspouse-written blogs to feature in an upcoming issue of Military Spouse magaz...
Glad your hubby is home. Mine has done 3 tours in Afghanistan and 1 in Iraq since 2005. I think we pay a lot of lip service to military service, but most Americans don't have personal contact or experience with it. Not that I am wishing for a world war. Definitely not. But empathy is good.

I'll add you to the list for consideration, Nicole. I am *not* just looking for blogs about military life. In fact, I'd like to showcase the range of things spouses blog about. We're more than milspouses, after all.

Wow! He truly asked to buy food stamps? Now that's obnoxious. I realize people scam the system, because I see advertisements selling huge amounts of infant formula on craigslist. This is fraud and it is wrong. That said, most people who need and receive food aid are honest individuals. It's a shame to judge someone before we really know them, but it happens all the time. I am a military mom and wife of a Colonel. I know many of our young enlisted troops with families receive food stamps. It makes me sad that military pay isn't sufficient for raising a family, but that is the way it is.
Hello, ego. Goodbye, stereotype.
Today I'm taking a minute to Pour my Heart Out about a lesson I learned last week at the grocery store. I'll warn you up front, it wasn't pretty. I was just back from a two-week vacation. By 8 a.m., I'd colored my hair, taken a shower, and done my makeup. The baby was happy (so far) and Little...
Yes, one of the benefits of parenthood is that it humbles you a little and reminds you just how hard life can be. No matter what your circumstances, life has ups and downs. And we all deal with them as best we can.

I just kept thinking that I would have felt about 2 inches tall if I was, in fact, paying with WIC and was called out on it for no reason.
