Coco is COOL!!!!

I got two awards from some super cool mommas!!

Anniebanannie awarded me with this mac-daddy of an award:

This award comes with some rules, and here they are:

List 7 things that you love and then pass the award on to 7 people...tagging them and letting them know they won!

You can copy the picture of the award and put it on your sideboard letting the whole wide world know you are KReATIV!Seven things I love: (besides the obvious family, friends, etc.)

1) Real Housewives of OC/NYC/Atlanta (though NYC is my fave!)

2) a good bottle of red wine, pref a Shiraz

3) my daily runs or walks, depends if I have a kid with me or not

4) a tidy house

5) flea markets or antique stores

6) Indian food (have y'all figured out my love for the Indian food yet or no?)

7) having a bbq at our home on the back porch with tons of food and adult bevs.....

THEN this HILARIOUS lady, gave me this award:

I am really feeling the love today and want to thank both of you. I think y'all are both a hoot and really feel cool that you think I am pretty cool too.

These will be awarded tomorrow. My Simply Sleep just kicked in.

Fun colors for your home

I love Mexican oilcloth, love it. It is all over my house. Above, you will see I have 5 huge colorful pillows on a church pew in my den. My bar stools have custom oilcloth cushions and I have countless of place mats made from this fun colorful material.

It doesn't have to match your house, any color will do. The wilder the better. And it is wonderful if you have little ones, it just wipes off.

Through Facebook, I discovered an old high school friend has a etsy shop that is all things Mexican oilcloth and chalkboard fun. Check it out here, chalkydoodles. It will make great birthday gifts, mother's day gifts, etc.

My next purchase will be a custom table cloth to match my bar stools, can't wait!!!

A little something to add to your vocabulary repertoire...

"Poo-poo napkins"

As in, "Mommy, I need more poo-poo napkins!"

Or "Honey, be sure to buy more poo-poo napkins, we are out!"

Or, "Do you have a tissue or a poo-poo napkin I can use?"

Apparently, the word toilet paper was lost on Bram. So he created his own name for it.

Nice.

Go ahead, teach your children and husbands to use the term, "poo-poo napkin" rather than toilet paper.

Seriously, the little dude might be on to something.....

For the record...

My mom, dad, brother, mother- in- law, husband, sister- in-law, and a cousin all read my blog as well as billions of others.

"Iddy" my mil, obviously learned how to comment, and left a hilarious comment on yesterdays post.

"Mamasue" is my cousin and has been commenting for awhile. Love it!

I just don't want anyone to be embarrassed for me. The above listed people love me, verbal diarrhea and all.

Two things to touch on this glorious Sunday morn...

#1- As I have mentioned before, I am the most nonathletic human on the planet. It is bad. So bad that when Hubby and I got married we joined a co-ed softball team. Hubby feared for my life, so we quickly quite the league.

Well, let's add bowling to the list of "sports" Coco is embarrassingly bad at.

#2-Why don't kids sleep in?
