Out of the mouth of babes

As any parent knows there comes a time when your child says something that will

A. Shock you
B. Embarrass you
C. Make you laugh so hard you have to pee
D. All of the above!

As a mother of Toddlers I’ve heard things that no non parent would ever think could be uttered in a normal non drunk off your a$$ situation.
Such as todays one liner spoken by Lila, our three year old.

Mommy, mommy! I found Ariel’s boobs! - shouted enthusiastically as any three year old can.

Now to anyone else that would sound absurd and a little disturbing. To a mom it was perfectly Clear she found the seashell top from this toy.

Our most embarrassing moments come in public. Don’t you love how little ones don’t have that little voice that tells them this isn't the moment to shout – Mommy, you farted! (for the record I did not, but thanks to the offending party who cut and ran).

My sisters favorite is when Lila (at 19months old) screamed Cock through out the store while she what shopping for CLOCKS! I love that one, mostly because I wasn’t on the receiving end of that embarrassing moment.

We spent 3 months getting the worst looks in public when Lorelai screamed “Help me” Every Eff’n time we took her shopping. OMG am I glad that stage is over and Peyton never went through it.

My son the other day called me a Hoe. It is hilarious! My father was trying to teach him to say No way, Jose! What I got was No way, Hoe!!

I have tons more but before I share more of my toddler tales I ask you to share a few of yours. In a few weeks I will pick my top favorite entries and post them then you can vote for #1.

So sent them in parents I know you got them, so lets share them!

Cape Cod Potato Chips Review

Sometimes its ok to take work with you on vacation. Especially if it involves sharing a few bags of potato chips with your family.

Cape Cod potato chips contacted me to see if I would like to try out their new 40% less fat potato chip flavors and I agreed.

As far as taste goes, there is a slight difference when compared to a few of the more expensive brands. Most noticeable is that the original flavor were lightly salted. In my opinion they could use a bit more slat but there was enough salt to give them flavor. But, it wasn't the only thing I tasted when eating the chips. The Cape Cod brand falls perfectly in between brands that use too much salt and those that don't use enough.

I was also sent the Sweet Mesquite Barbeque flavor, which everyone agrees is their favorite! A perfect amount of flavor and crunch! The Sea salt and Vinegar chips have a unique taste the some of the family loved, others not so much. My father said it brought back memories of living on the east coast as a child.

I loved that all three flavors had the perfect amount of crunch associated with kettle cooked chips and they were not greasy.

All in all I would buy these chips again if I saw them on the shelves of my local store. Check out their website to lean about their other great flavors! http://www.capecodchips.com
