Keepin' It Real Wednesday

Dear Katie,

When your house is relatively clean...

You have finished a healthy salmon dinner.....

Your kids are getting along.....

You are upstairs helping them finish their chores....

And you are feeling really "on top of things"....

Beware of Pride.

Don't forget that one last kitchen detail.

Put all three bar stools up on the kitchen island.

Not 2 out of 3.


Because your climbing toddler will take advantage of that five minute "chore time" and quietly creep downstairs, where he will push that bar stool around to his heart's desire, and do his own chores.

Like washing the dishes

And breaking bananas open, taking a bite, and then shoving the rest in the toaster....
where half-eaten bananas belong, of course.


Because Katie,

You now have that toddler.

Remain vigilant!
