lies i { regularly } tell my toddler.

November 24, 2015 by Rachel 2 Comments

Let’s face it: as parents, we will totally take advantage of our small children. I mean, heck!, they owe us. They put us through the ringer with their “demands” and nonsense. It’s no wonder we (occasionally) tell them things that they do not know are false. Like, completely false.

My mother decided to point out to me how often I ‘lie’ to Moosh. So I compiled a list of my go-to ‘lies.’

  • “They’re closed, baby!” I say this regularly for any place Moosh wants to go that we either: 1. do not have on the agenda; 2. do not have time for; or 3. do not have the patience for. This includes: Cafe O’Play (we pass it every day on our way home from the sitter). The Chick-fil-a play area (as we are sitting down eating and he’s watching other kids play). The movie theater. You get the picture. Pretty much every place he thinks is fun.

  • “It’s all gone!” Yep. No shame in my food-game! If I don’t want Moosh to have something, I just tell him it’s gone. But I fear he’s catching on to me… He recently started asking “Let me see the ____.” Like, for proof.
  • “It’s not working. / It needs batteries.” Toy? Needs batteries. Movie he wants to watch for the 800th time? Not working. I’m. Not. Sorry!

  • “This isn’t candy; it’s medicine.” It’s especially convincing since I’ve been so sick during this pregnancy.
  • “We’ll go tomorrow.” Biggest. liar. EVER. I most recently used this lie when I was trying to get Ari home from the sitter and he wanted to stop at the library. No, we didn’t go the next day. But I told him we would. Toddlers either remember things for months or forget them within seconds. So I was pretty much playing russian roulette. [PS. I won.]

How can I lie to this adorable face from these pictures?!? Easy. It’s lying for survival. And I’m not ashamed to say I’ll continue to do it until he catches on. I know I’m not alone, friends! Tell me, what are your favorite lies you tell your children?!

I wanna go running. //

May 27, 2015 by Rachel 1 Comment

It was only a matter of time before Moosh proclaimed that he wanted to go running. I merely suggested going running on Memorial Day, and next thing I knew he was all “Mommy! I wanna go running! I wanna go running!”

Of course I didn’t anticipate him actually running. On days when I don’t take him in the jogging stroller he’ll ask Chad, “Mommy runs? Mommy runs?” as if that’s the only place I would be without him. So after pushing him in the stroller while I ran for a few miles, I let him “run.”

Of course it’s more fun to countdown every few yards… “THREE! TWO! ONE! GO!” all in one giant breath. And then he’s off.

I’m crossing my fingers that this isn’t a phase and that one day I’ll have a little mini-me running beside me for miles. 🙂

We are those people.

November 1, 2010 by Rachel 11 Comments

We haven’t always been those people.

You know. Those people. The people whose animals have become their children. Or, as we like to call them in the land of “have-no-real-children,” fur babies.

It has gotten so bad that my parents refer to themselves as Grandma and Grandpa. And never a day goes by without a reminder that they have to be grandparents to fur babies because they sure as heck don’t have any ‘real’ grandchildren.

Recently “Grandma” bought the fur babies Halloween costume.

Grandpa thinks it’s ridiculous {and secretly, deep-down loves it at the same time}.

So before our trick-or-treaters came by on Saturday
we put the ‘kids’ in their costumes.

We have officially become obsessed with our ‘kids.’

House of Blues: Last Comic Standing Birthday Celebration!

October 9, 2010 by Rachel 1 Comment

Happy weekend, my loves!

Hope it’s off to a good start! I had meant for mine to start with blogging, but I ended up falling asleep pretty early last night.
It was probably much needed, so no complaints.

So the exciting extension to my birthday celebration was going to see the top 5 finalists from Last Comic Standing at the House of Blues!

Sidenote
: The House Of Blues in Cleveland is pretty much the most perfect venue I’ve ever been in. It’s small and gorgeous!
I don’t think there’s a bad seat in the house!

I had never watched any previous year, but this season I was hooked! I had my favorites, Myq and Tommy, and they made it to the top 5!

We laughed so hard. I was a little bit sad because my favorite, the scrawny guy, Myq, seemed to be a little ‘off’ and was stumbling through some jokes. He mentioned something about drinking a lot prior to the show. He doesn’t seem like a drinker to me, but based on his performance,
I’d say he was probably putting back a few.


The second to last performance was my all-time fave, Tommy Johnagin. Not only hilarious, but really cute? Heck yes!

{cutie, Tommy Johnagin}
It was the most awesome birthday gift from BF!
And definitely thing we can add to our incredible memories!
