Join the fun by linking up down there.... it's fun, I promise! Or you can just leave some comment love for me and all the other participants
This week's topic: What aspects of your parents' parenting do you want to continue in parenting your own kid(s)?I have said it a million times - while we were trying to get pregnant, during my entire pregnancy and throughout this crazy mommyhood journey - if I can be HALF of the mom that mine is, my children will be in great shape! My dad, is a total douche, so my mom had to play double duty, and did it without even trying. She is amazing. I could go through my old posts and link to all of them here, but I have a feeling that would take up a lot of time....
Since I don't want to make this overly sappy - here is a list of things I want to do with my kids that I learned from my mom
- sing the unbirthday song and let her eat a twinkie and blow out a candle
- make sure she always feels safe
- always kiss her goodnight and tell her how much I love her
- teach her to be polite
- be her best friend
- believe in her, no matter what.
- sing and dance around the living room
- laugh
- trust
- eat dinner together, and do the dishes together
- read dr. seuss books to her, in my dr. seuss book voice
- make the ordinary days special

What a sweet post! It's really the simple things in life, isn't it?
To answer your blog header question- I used bighugelabs.com to make the mosaic, then uploaded that to picnik.com and then put the text on it. THEN, I updated it to my header. It took me a while to get the size right, but you can save it at picnik at 50%, 60% etc. until it fits your page.
Whew! :)
I have the best memories of dancing! We used to move the furniture and jitterbug! Great memory.
It's so great that you have so many good memories, and I know you'll make a bunch with your family :)
So sweet Andrea!
