The 10 Most Humiliating Things My Kids Have Said in Public
by Charlotte Hilton Andersen, REDBOOK
Compassion, kindness, respect for diversity, politeness, honesty, an understanding of basic anatomical functions—all good things I've tried to instill in my children over the years and all things that have backfired horribly in public, much to my embarrassment. No matter how skilled we are as parents, the Public Child Outburst happens to all of us. It's the one time you rue the fact that your child is such a clear speaker.
Here are some of my worst. Please please please tell me I'm not alone in my humiliation by sharing some of yours with me!

1. "People just give me stuff 'cause I'm so cute." A woman in a fabric store offered my 3-year-old son a piece of candy. When I prompted him to say thank you with, "What do you say to the nice lady?" this is what my eldest came up with.

2. "Stop making ugly faces!" My 2-year-old to a disabled person at the gym. I was mortified.

3. "That man's belly is so big! Is he having a baby?" My 5-year-old in the checkout line at the grocery store.

4. "Mommy, don't choke me!!!" My two-year-old son screamed this at the top of his lungs when I leaned in to take away a box of candy he'd pulled off the shelf at the store. For the record, I  have never, ever choked him or any of my children, nor threatened to. Of course that day I wanted to start...

5. "I threw up this morning, but mommy said not to tell you." My 4-year-old to his preschool teacher. In my defense, it was because he gagged on piece of fruit he doesn't like and made himself retch. It wasn't real puke, I swear.

6. "Look! When I touch it, it gets all hard!" My 4-year-old son in the middle of a crowded shoe store touching... well, yeah.

7. "Hey Mister! Do you know you have no hairs on your head?" Pretty sure he knows he's bald, sweetie.

8. "My mom did a photo shoot for a magazine for men!" This was my kindergartener's contribution to sharing time. Just to be clear: It was a head shot for an article I'd written for a men's fitness magazine.

9. "I don't have any socks on today because my mom didn't do the laundry yet. My brother isn't wearing any underwear." My 8-year-old to his gym teacher. I have no defense. This one's true.

10. "Mom! Mom! My stomach hurts so bad! I think I'm having a baby! I can feel it kicking my butt! I need to push it out!" My 4-year-old said this at the customer service counter at J.C. Penney's. I took him to the bathroom afterward where he had a very large number two.

So much excitement...

Lets get this started...

I've been on a creative kick lately. Really thinking about where im at and what I RATHER be doing. Slowly but surely im finding my motivation and my way on track.

This weekend i ventured with a friend of mine to Michaels to explore and let some of that creative energy flow. I love that store!

That being said i made Justice a name banner for his room with his favorite Disney characters -

After putting that together i ventured into towel cakes. I love the concepts that i can create with this...and the different ideas and accessories that can be incorporated. So slowly but surely i am going to be putting together different designs to establish some variety to show off and potentially sell.

Today I put together what i'd call more of a vanity design that i think would be cute for a house warming or even as a birthday gift. What do you think?
