Equal opportunity Mom

Just for the record I am an equal opportunity Mother.  It seems little "M" may get more play time than big "M" but I've been known to throw a little extra cereal and treats into Big "M's" snacky bags, in hopes to even things out.

Well Big "M" told one of her brothers to, "pronto la vista" the other day because she probably hears me ramble off made up phrases in other languages quite a bit (again just trying to be an equal opportunity Mother who employs my children:).  Even though big "M" probably doesn't know that my phrases in other languages don't even make sense, she apparently does understand the overall objective of saying "pronto la vista" because she used it in the same context that I do.  Usually I say it to corral kiddies from one room to another room in a big hurry.  "Pronto la vista, pronto la vista!"  Good thing they all seem to understand my language.  

Well this weekend I rode on the carousel with the boys and I watched things pass us by as we went round and round all while we were spinning.  After we got off the ride it made me compare it to the last couple of years.  I just knew life was going to pass me by very quickly all while my head was probably going to be spinning.  For the most part that has been true so that is why this week I am going to slow things down.  No more hurryness and no more pronto anything.  Each child will be equally my favorite child even if it is for only minutes at a time.  

I'm going to be an equal opportunity time making mother machine.

{I think I can say the above especially after hearing some of the the most uplifting words that I feel so blessed to hear twice a year.  As always there were some really good talks that made me feel like I can do great things}

Now hopefully I will still be able to squeeze enough time to use my sweet wallpaper I scored @ Goodwill. Seriously it's older wallpaper made by Schumacher. Who would have thought you could buy this kind of wallpaper at the thrift store for $3.oo a roll? Actually here's a sneak peak @ all of the below treasures I scored with the wallpaper, even the fabric. Gosh it's fun to be thrifty, now let's just see if I can pull this off with my laundry room makeover.

Anybody know how to wallpaper?

P.S. - Somebody asked me if they could still comment on the give-away post. Comment away until Tuesday morning because that's when the name will be picked. Have a great week!!
