The Great Girl Event at Happily Domestic

Happily Domestic is hosting "The Great Girl Event" March 1-14.

Guess what the first giveaway is!? A My Twinn doll! Enter HERE! I've also noticed she has a lot of info about cloth diapering on her blog if you are thinking about going that route!

The Logic of a 3 1/2 Year Old

Heather at PittsburghMom.com had a post the other day called The Logic of a 4 Year Old -you can check it out HERE. She also mentions how kids say things that their parents think are hysterical and in actuality they are not. So let me just tell you about the conversation I had over lunch with my 3 1/2 year old daughter. And, it goes a little something like this:

Little Lady: Mommy, why do we have ears?
Me: They help us hear, honey. You know that, right?
Little Lady: Well, that is what I thought but, what if you don't have ears - like Dora?
Me: (Cracking Up) She has ears.
Little Lady: Well, I've never seen them.

Come to think of it:

Here is Dora



Here is Dora swinging from a vine



Here is Dora skiing


Even getting lassoed by Diego




NO EARS!!

It is March - I can start looking for Easter Stuff

I know I'm totally OCD about holidays and birthdays and a number of other things. I'm completely aware but I wasn't going to look at Easter stuff until March. Kind of like a self imposed deadline. Yeah, maybe I already have a few tricks up my sleeve but now I can really get to it. I would like to have an ongoing post with all things Easter such as local/national event listings and great basket filler deals. But, just for now I did I quick search on Amazon and found these cute things. Plus, I really need to just feel like winter will be over some time this century.

Kennywood Park Season Passes Now Available!

Ah, Kennywood. I am so excited this year because both of my kids are now big enough to ride hand in hand in KiddyLand together. Well, at least that is how I picture it in my head. In reality it will probably be my daughter's hand in the middle of my son's back pushing him on her ride of choice and then my daughter's hair in my son's hand pulling her the opposite way. Did I really type that? Well, at least there are lots of things to bribe them with. Wait, did I say that? If you aren't from Pittsburgh you are probably thinking, "What the heck is Kennywood?". Well it is just the greatest community amusement park EVER. I've showed more love about it HERE.

Buy your Season Pass and check out the new coaster HERE!

P.S. If you are planning a first time trip to Kennywood, FYI - it is not DisneyWorld. Please don't try and compare! Both are the best at what they do!
