"That they (the older women) admonish the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed." Titus 2:4-5

Before Motherhood....



I never would have guessed that one day I would be fluent in both English and Lizzy-ese and would regularly have to translate for the rest of the known world. :) Toddler speak is adorable nonetheless.

Before Motherhood....



I would never believed that someday I would talk so often (and openly) about pee and poo. When you have a baby, you obsess over their waste products. Are they going often enough? Too much? What does that color mean?

With a toddler in potty training, it's even worse. "Mommy's going pee in the potty, do you go pee in the potty? Everybody goes pee and poo!" Ever heard of the book Everyone Poops? Case closed. As a mother, you have no more bathroom dignity. If you close the door they will open it. If you lock the door they will stand at it, knocking and saying "Mommy?" :)

Before Motherhood....


I never would have thought that one day I'd being doing laundry with my 2 year old and would be using my washable nursing pads to teach her how to count objects. Oh, what wonderful teachable moments!

Before Motherhood....



I would never have imagined the amount of times I'd use the word combination "Don't put ____ in _____ ." It usually involves the mouth, nose, ear or sometimes the toilet. :)

Before Motherhood....



Before Motherhood, I would never have believed that one day I'd be spraying down my carpet with Windex Antibacterial in Lemon scent because my baby puked on the carpet and I didn't know how else to clean it up. :) When my husband came home he asked "Why didn't you use the carpet cleaner we have?"

In my panic (and with my head spinning from the awful smell) I'd forgotten the carpet cleaner under the sink. Oh well. At least my carpet and living room smelled like lemons instead of carpet cleaner/baby puke. I also found out later (on facebook) that Resolve is a good way to clean it up. Good to know. I doubt that'll be the last time I have to clean it up. :)

Before Motherhood...




Before Motherhood I never would have thought that one day I would walk around for hours with my two children and end up carrying my 2 1/2 year old in my arms as she fell asleep. This is the child that very rarely takes a nap. Yeah, she was that exhausted and I was too. I even got a sunburn in March doing it. :)

Before Motherhood...


Before Motherhood...I would never have imagined I would buy 4 C or D batteries a week to support my baby's swing addiction so I could/can get 5 to 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night ( and get her to take naps too)! I'm not proud of this... but I also never knew I'd be so desperate, I'd do whatever it takes to get some sleep (even if it gets a little costly and sometimes results in late night trips to the store for batteries)! If you're going to someday have children and want to buy a swing, here's my advice to you: GET A SWING THAT PLUGS INTO THE WALL!

Before motherhood...


I never knew that simply putting ice cubes in my 2 year old's sippy cup would get her to drink plain water. (Check out Works for Me Wednesday for other cool ideas!)

Before Motherhood...



Before Motherhood... I would never have believed that one day I would be sitting at a computer doing a blog series on the hilarious, educational and sometimes embarrassing things only another mom would understand. But, here we are and I hope you'll join me as I share with you some of the wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful until after the fact) things about motherhood!
