I also received an award from my new FAVORITE read, Vintage Junky. I stumbled upon her blog and LOVED her style. And thanks to her, I have found more decor blogs that are very much my taste. Thanks Vintage Junky!
So, here are seven things about me you may not know (Casey is cringing just about now.):
1) Hubby and I met and got married all withing 5 months. I wasn't pregnant BUT did get pregnant 6 months after we married. Oops! We totally should of named Bram, Robert Mondavi or Kendall Jackson. Opening weekend of Dove season made us a little nuts. Just sayin'.
2) I don't have a gall bladder. It was taken out 10 years ago. Because of this organ being gone, I have pooped in my britches more than an adult should. Their have been some sad situations for poor Coco and her $220 jeans.
3) I have never had to cut or trim either of my kids toenails. Ever. Don't ask, I have no idea why their toenails don't grow because their fingernails grow like weeds.
4) I would love to own my own Waldorf Learning Center. If you know anything about the Waldorf curriculum this may surprise you about me but I find it a wonderful place for little ones to learn and explore.
5) In the car, I use words that would make a sailor blush. I am the only one on the road that can drive. It's true. I have learned to tone it down A LOT since kids, but have been known to say, "Idiot." And now my kids say, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!" when they are frustrated with something. Which I am fine with. Much better than, "USE YOUR *#&&$&@) BLINKER YOU $#@_*!"
6) Tess' real name is Tessie Mayes, that is what we call her, Tess is just quicker to blog. Anyhoo, Hubby wanted to call her Tessie Mayes, but wanted Mayes to be her middle name but I wanted both names to be her first name, to make sure it showed up on all legal documents as, Tessie Mayes. Guess who was NOT in the room at the time I was filling out the birth certificate. Yep. Her name is officially Tessie Mayes. No middle name. Is that bad? Whatev. I was hormonal.
7) I have cheated on a test only once in my life. 3rd grade, 7 and 9 multiplication test. To this day I can't do my 7 and 9's. I have to reverse the numbers in my head. Like if somebody says, "what is 7 times 5?" I have to do 5 times 7 in my head. Makes sense. Weird yet a true testimony as to why you should never cheat in school or you won't learn a dip darn thing!!!
I am giving the Kreative Award to Mrs. Merry Mack. I have know her FOREVER! Seriously, read her. She is very smart, quick witting, and blunt. Just the way I like it.
Now for some parenting advice, courtesy of Coco:
If for any reason your child gets gum in and around their armpit, don't ignore it. It will stick your child's arm skin to their armpit skin, this causes irritation once the gum residue is removed.
To remove gum from in and around an armpit area, just use a lot of baby oil. This may take 4 or 5 attempts and lots of picking but will eventually work.
Don't try peanut butter or rubbing alcohol. Scrubbing with soap and water will only irritate your child to where you don't have ample access to armpit area.
Just lots of baby oil and some patience.
You're welcome.

Yes, I was tense. But, that wasn't too bad. Nothing I didn't know and your bathroom revelations don't even phase me anymore.
Just please don't tell the story you told me recently while I was standing in the Halloween section at Target. Still recovering. The world is not ready.
You crack me up. Always a good laugh!
I can always drink and especially if it involves Joe T's...email me with details! Would love to meet up.
Lady you crack me up daily! I love it. BTW - Greg is up for the set up with Natalie. I talked to him last night. I didn't explain in detail how we know each other just said - a friend of a friend of my cousin Jann (he has met Jann many years ago). Let's get this hooked up!
nice. all of it very nice, such honesty! :) i think tess' name is precious the way it is. sounds great!
What's with you and Sass not wearing undergarments? :)
5 months! WOW! Love it!! so very cool Coco
BTW - I have a cousin who named her daughter Merlot. When she told her hubby she was preggers he was drinking a glass of merlot. that's how they decided.
office coco :) haha!
For the record, I have to sneak going commando because it freaks Tony out. I mostly do it for comfort. Everything wedgies me.
Anyways, where to begin? I'd be pissed too if I shit my pants and ruined designer duds. 5 months?! That's awesome. I didn't know it was Tessie Mayes for her whole first name! Love it. Also, please don't share the halloween aisle story. If Casey's still recovering, I'm not sure I'm even ready.
Also, if baby oil works on wax on "carpet" it should SO work on armpit gum. Nice.
That does totally suck about the jean happenings.
And, I love that Tessie Mayes is her first name. Goes so perfect together.
Oh, and I so need to hear the story you told Casey. I'm always ready!!!!
Thanks for the award! I feel awesome! I don't get awards except three I can recall. Last week I got a 'Principal's Award' from one of my students, and then there are two from EHHS days that I am not so proud of, Awarded Biggest Gossip at Prom and the Blue Moon award in Drill Team for having my skirt tucked into my trunks. I guess I should have saved these for the 7 things. Thanks friend, you rock! I also had good chuckle. Glad the gum came out of the arm pit.
eww!
We got preggers 5 mos. in. The hubs likes to say we got after it. Ah ha ha. And thank you for the laughs. A little pee might have come out.
Oh my goodness girl, you crack me up. You have a gift. Hah. I have a poop story but I can't tell it. And I still have my gall bladder.
You are such an award winning blogger!
