Accent Vlog

I was totally inspired by all of you doing an accent vlog, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon myself!  I'm linking up with Jenna for this so head over and check her out!  Also, please excuse my lack of make-up and post-workout clothes.  I wanted to get this done before I chickened out!


The instructions are to say these words:


Aunt, Route, Wash, Oil, Theater, Iron, Salmon, Caramel, Fire, Water, Sure, Data, Ruin, Crayon, Toilet, New Orleans, Pecan, Both, Again, Probably, Spitting image, Alabama, Lawyer, Coupon, Mayonnaise, Syrup, Pajamas, Caught


And answer these questions:
•What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
•What is the bug that when you touch it, it curls into a ball?
•What is the bubbly carbonated drink called?
•What do you call gym shoes?
•What do you say to address a group of people?
•What do you call the kind of spider that has an oval-shaped body and extremely long legs?
•What do you call your grandparents?
•What do you call the wheeled contraption in which you carry groceries at the supermarket?
•What do you call it when rain falls while the sun is shining?
•What is the thing you change the TV channel with


oh and ps....AP thinks I sound way more Jersey than she does, even though we grew up in the same place!  Go check out I Love You More Than Carrots to compare!

    This was fun. One of my best friends is from Jersey, (not sure where) and I guess when she moved out to Ohio, she forced herself to loose the accent bc everyone would stop her mid sentence and make her say words over and over. Especially WATER. Your accent was NOTHING compared to what I've heard. :)

    I've never heard it called a TV Tuner, but that makes sense. I call it the Thingy most of the time :)

    You totally have a Jersey accent! But it's stronger on some words than others. I laughed at how you say New Orleans because it's so different to me. Oh and the way you say Jersey. :) This was cute!

    I don't think it sounds like you have much of an accent at all!! Of course, I live around here so it might be different for people from other parts of the country. You are great on camera!! xo

    Eeeee!!! You're so adorable!!! I loved watching this! And baby C??! I wanted to eat her up!! In all honesty, I don't think you sound THAT Jersey. It's noticable, but not so much so that you can't understand what you're saying. So cute :)

    Very cute! I had to be a copy cat and made one myself. I don't think you have THAT big of a Jersey accent, but when I was watching it Daniel walked in the room and said "Is she from Jersey?" LOL!

    Loved it and btw, Baby C is too freaking cute!!!!!!! :)

    Found you from AP and I died when you said New Orl-eeeens. I am a NOLA girl and it always cracks me up when people say it that way!!! Locals say New Or-lins :)

    Your accent is very subtle, if noticable at all! Love your blog!

I'm Coming Out too...Will You?

I read this article, blog, whatever you want to call it the other day and when I was finished I practically stood up and shouted, "Finally!"  To summarize, JJ Watt gives her opinion on being pro-vaccine for her children.  She backs it up with facts on how immunizations are really only effective with herd immunity, and that the theory that shots, specifically the MMR, cause autism has been disproven time and time again.  JJ Watt uses this article to "come out" as pro-vaccine, and encourages the rest of us to do the same.  The anti-vaccinators are the ones you hear all the time.  Now it's our turn to take a stand.  So that is what I am doing today.  I vaccinate my kids, and I'm proud of it . I try to stay out of the mommy wars as much as possible.  It doesn't affect my life if you co-sleep, formula feed, or clothe diaper.  Your choices on how you raise your child, doesn't affect my child in any way.  Except when it comes to vaccines....

I Will Fight You Pregnancy Hormones

Let's play a little game called "What's wrong with this picture?" No it's not that my bedroom is ridiculously messy. {though that is true..not all the time though, I swear!} If it's that I still sleep with a stuffed bunny, you'd be wrong too. {though that is also true...he makes a great pillow!} Yes I know I look much further along than 17 weeks pregnant, but that's not it either. Give up?  Check out my hair.  It's brown.  As in opposite of blond, brown.  Now I know most of you will be utterly shocked when I tell you this, but I am not a natural blond.  I was as a kid, but once puberty hit my strands began to darker.  But I revolted.  I have a slight obsession with love being blond.  And I have been {with help obviously} for the last 10 years or so, with the exception of my pregnancy with Little M. I didn't color my hair at all with my first pregnancy.  I had a slight concern about the chemicals, and thought it would be good to give my hair ...

It's time to say goodbye...

I've known this day was coming for a while but I've been avoiding it. Seven years ago, I started this blog. I really didn't know what I was doing, haha. But a few friends from high school started ones, and it interested me. I started this when Emmy was only 4 months old and I felt completely lost as a new mom. I found others who felt the same. Blogging became a way to document my daughter's life and ask questions, find out tips, etc. Through that time I have shared our life. Emmy growing up, adding Charlie to our family, and watching them get older. I've documented vacations, day to day life, and even found a way to make a little bit of money. I've met some amazing friends on here, that I wouldn't have otherwise. It truly has been a wonderful experience But the girls are getting older and their story is not really mine to tell to the public. Also, as my writing career is starting to take off, I want to make sure my private life stays private. Because of that...
