Mom of Boys: Comic Relief for Moms of the Male Variety {round 10}

May 18, 2014 By Michelle Barneck 4 Comments

A few months ago, I began jotting down things I hear from my boys because, well, they make me laugh. It’s now turned in to a full on Mom of Boys series on the 3rd Sunday of each month. It gives me a good reminder each month why I love my silly boys so much. If you missed our first Mom of Boys posts be sure to go back!
 

Let’s explain how this will work and who things were said by…

 
A = my skinny, karate obsessed, 6 year old  
L = my spunky, snack loving, 3 1/2 year old
J = my geeky chic husband
M = me aka mom of boys
 
This is in no way meant to be a parenting lesson. Just a little peek into our crazy and at times comical lives. 
 
Mom of boys…things you never thought you’d hear in your home, then you birthed a boy.
A: I was hot guy and he was toad.
M: Hot Guy? Who is that?
A: The guy with the bow and arrow.
M: Oh, you mean hawk eye?
A:Hot guy?
M: No, hawk eye. Like a bird and his eye.

Read the whole post.

A: Did you see that sign with the guy with the huge ears?
M: No, I didn’t. What were they like Dumbo?
A: No, not that big, just big. They were…the ears were bigger than the eyes.
M: Well, my ears are bigger than my eyes.
A: No, way bigger than the eyes. The ears were way bigger than the head.
M: Do you want new floors?
L: Yes.
M: Do you want them to look like wood?
L: No, they will be Spiderman.
A: Probably a giant’s nostril would be as big as me.
L: (presses button on a huge safe at Dad’s office) What’s in there?
M: I don’t know. It must be something super special.
L: Maybe it’s a bunch of apples.
A month later…
A: I think I might know what’s in that big locked box at Dad’s office. A churro the size of it, like from the top to the bottom.

 
Have your kids made you laugh lately? What comical or off the wall things have you said or overheard your kids say? Share in the comments and we will choose our favorites to share in our Mom of Boys post on June 15th.

May Visiting Teaching Message Handout

May 7, 2014 By Michelle Barneck Leave a Comment

May’s visiting teaching message was our choice of talks from the April 2014 LDS General Conference. There were so many great messages to choose from, but the one I decided on is “Keeping Covenants Protects Us, Prepares Us, Empowers Us” by Rosemary M. Wixom the Primary General President given in the General Women’s Meeting. 
Download the free printable May visiting teaching message handout.

I just love this quote where she said, “Our journey on the path is personal and well lit with the Savior’s love.” It’s so true. Not one of us will take the same journey, yet our Savior knows each one of us personally, what we struggle with, and what we’re going through because he suffered for us and thus can help us through anything. He is the light of the world and can light our lives and our journeys if we let Him.

Feel free to print off this handout and share with your sisters. It is sized for a 4×6 photo card.

What was your favorite message or quote from the April conference?

Bathroom Rules on the Toilet Lid

May 5, 2014 By Michelle Barneck 15 Comments

We have little boys. This means messes. Imagine boys ages three and six sharing a bathroom. Toothpaste, water, and other things I won’t mention by name (I’m sure you can imagine) around making you crazy. My six year old is in kindergarten which means learning to read. I figured why not take the opportunity to lay down some ground rules for the bathroom with a fun little poem reminder of what to do in the bathroom.


See the entire post.

I found this adorable bathroom subway art poem from Designed by Dawn Nicole and immediately fell in love with it! We have been renovating the boys bathroom and I knew there would not be much wall/counter space with other decor I had planned, but there was a blank canvas right in front of me…a blank white porcelain canvas.


I imported the design into Cricut Design Space and with my Cricut Explore cut it out in gray vinyl. Then just moved it over to the toilet lid with some transfer tape and that was that. Awesome art and bathroom rules in place all in a few minutes!

 

I’m loving it! What do you think? Would you put bathroom rules on your toilet lid? Or any vinyl design for that matter?
