Let's be Bloggy BFFs'

I read a lot of blogs. I have no less than 15 blogs in my favorites. I love getting to know the blogger. *By the way, I totally stole the term bloggy bff from Ashley at Little Miss Momma* Many bloggers have recently shared odd/random facts about themselves. I'm following in their footsteps. Here are some tidbits about me. I hope you still like me later :)

My parenting style: Flexible loving yet we have set rules. Monkey is only 19 months so....

Last meal I cooked: Super yummy pot roast

Weirdest thing in my purse: Um... a Lego construction worker.

Craziest thing I've done while sleep-deprived: I poured the baby's formula into my coffee instead of my creamer.

Behavior I hope my son doesn't inherit from me: Eye-rolling...

Last thing my child did that made me laugh: I'm constantly laughing at him. He is so funny but tonight he wasn't paying attention while he was "brushing" his teeth and put his toothbrush in his nose. I took it away and he clapped.

My favorite baby gear. Boogie Wipes! They are great when he has a yucky nose.

The song that best describes my parenting experience thus far: In My Life by The Beatles

Kid's Show I can't stand: Max and Ruby.. Where are their parents?!?!? And why is Ruby so dang bossy?!

First Word that pops into my head when someone says mom: Joy

One of my favorite smell: Books. New or Used Library or Store. And baked goods

Food I can't stand: Green Beans. I hate them. I just recently stopped gagging whenever I smelled them. I'm always trying to get Monkey to eat them.
