Definately looking, and acting, differently at this age!

But you still couldn't mistake that they are sisters :)

Addiction...

The past few months, i've become totally addicted.
Addicted to pinterest.
Pinterest is this amazing website that has everything you could ever want...
from recipies, to style ideas, to party ideas, to photography, to whatever you can think of!
And the best part of it is, you can find an idea that you absolutely LOVE and want to do...
but if you're like me, you don't necessarily have time, say, within the next month or more, to do it...
so you can "pin" it to one of your own boards (ie a recipie board, or a party idea board).
Then, when you have time, you can come back and it's there waiting for you to do!
I just love it!
I've found about a million things i want to do,
so needless to say i better get started.
But i definately encourage all of you to check it out...
But only if you have ambition, and time to browse around, hehehe.

Seuss-tastic!

"Today you are you, that's truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you!"

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

What is it with these characters?!

So here's the scenario...

We're sitting, watching Sesame Street while we eat breakfast...

The characters are doing their usual stuff, and then he appears...

Baby bear.

Now i don't normally dislike cartoon characters, but i'm starting to make exceptions.

This bear has a speech impediment.

Now don't get me wrong, i know that there are kids out there that have this problem, and it's nice for them to have "someone to relate to" on tv.

But shouldn't we be trying to teach them how to speak the right way?

Not encouraging their problem.

And it's not just Sesame Street, it's on Wonder Pets too!

Mady has a book that talks to her and helps her learn to read...

and guess who the narrator of said book is...

Ming Ming Duck, the very character with the speech impediment!

Maybe this is bad of me to say, maybe it's politically incorrect, but i don't want my kid learning to talk and read with a speech impediment because that's how her books talk to her.

And what do i say when she says to me "Mommy, why does baby bear talk that way?"

Just a thought.
