If I were a Simpsons character, I would look like this:
Cool, huh?

Remote Control
So, have you ever walked up to your front door, with car keys in hand, and stood there wondering why your door wasn't opening? I mean, there you are, clicking the unlock button on your car remote and everything.
No?
Just me then.

A cupcake a day...
So lately I've been all about cupcakes. Love them. Any excuse to make them and I'm all over it.
Birthdays? Of course, call for cupcakes.
Visiting grandparents? Definitely a cupcake occasion.
Cake mix on sale? It would be a crime (a crime!) not to make cupcakes.
A new cupcake mix by Betty Crocker? What self respecting cupcake lover could walk by this in the store and not by a box or five?
Who cares if the new cupcake mix is just cake mix repackaged. Not me! The mix has just the right amount for one pan of 12 cupcakes. Which, let's face it, is better for my thighs. And the thing that really sold me was that they include 12 little cupcake liners. Too, too perfect!
Oh - and did you know you can substitute applesauce for oil in your recipes? Probably everyone in the world already knew that, but I just found out. This little fact saved me from a complete cupcake disaster and it totally worked. I didn't notice a difference in taste and neither did any of the other picky eaters in my house. Cool!
The cute picture above came from a way cool blog all about cupcakes. I will definitely be checking out this blog for more yummy cupcake ideas.
The little engine that could
Oh my gosh y'all! Today we rode on Thomas the Train!
There was a little girl in our home that was SO EXCITED to see Thomas. She woke up talking about it this morning and the day did not disappoint.
Check out Rob's post about our morning for more pictures and scoop.

Public service announcement
To: Parents everywhere
If you are in a mall and you happen to see a play area like the one pictured above, please note that this play area is for small children.
It's not for big kids. Not at all.
It's not a race track for big kids to show off their amazing speed or organize a game of tag.
It's not a bounce house where big kids can climb to the top of each piece of equipment and then JUMP! to the ground or JUMP! onto the next piece.
It's not a gymnasium where big kids can practice their tumbling and acrobatic skills.
You may be thinking to yourself... "How will I know if my child is too big for the play area?"
Simply look for the arrow at the entrance to the play area. If your little angel is taller than the arrow, please ask them to take their running, jumping and tumbling talents elsewhere.
Thank you.

A round of applause
What better way to celebrate the many milestones of mommy-hood than with these cool Mama Merit Badges? Your 1,000th diaper change, surviving baby's first shots, dining out with an unruly toddler - the un-sung victories of mamas everywhere.
Note: The very first badge is for breastfeeding - so if you might be offended by a giant embroidered boob, this may not be the link for you. :)

Nerd alert
I haven't read any of the books about a certain boy-wizard. Nor have I seen any of the movies.
After seeing this article, I'm thinking it's probably a good thing.
