These are a few of the things my three year old has said lately that have cracked us up. I’m not sure if these are actually funny or that I just die laughing because she’s starting to act a lot like Justin and I, but here you go.
Keep in mind, she watches a lot of Disney movies. I think that may be the inspiration behind some of the silly thoughts.
–
While I was baking, she came up and stuck her finger in the powder ingredients. “I Pochahontas-ed it.” (poked)
–
Me: Maddie, go back to bed. This is nap time.
Maddie: Okay, Your Highness.
–
Maddie: Who’s my father?
Justin: I am.
Maddie: Who’s my other father?
–
Came up to me while I had facial hair remover cream on my lip. (WE ALL HAVE FUZZY GIRLSTACHES, SHUT IT.) Politely giggled as if she was very amused with my antics and said, “Whatcha got there?”
–
Frequently says, “Yes, Stepmother” if I ask her to do something chore-like.
–
Me: Time to go inside! It’s getting too hot out here.
Maddie: I don’t want to!! (fit throwing, screaming, refusing, etc.)
5 minutes later…
Me: Get inside right now before I drag you in!
Maddie: A DRAGON!?! AHHHHHH! (runs inside immediately)
–
Drawings of her family:
“Mommy, that’s you and your coffee.”
“That’s me and Daddy.” Looks like a scene from Signs.
“Mommy and Jack. *giggles* He has a big head. And that’s a spider. *growls* SMASH IT.”

You may remember the super adorable pink teardrop earrings I was wearing in the Drugstore Beauty Love post. A few of you have already perused T+J Designs and picked up a pair for yourselves, but for the rest of you who haven’t, GET READY. You’re about to have a steamy love affair with your computer screen.
(Meaning, with the JEWELRY. Not me, sickos.)
-- wearing the Pink & Gold Layered Necklace --
T+J is owned by the sweet and gorgeous Tiffany from one of my all-time favorite fashion blogs, I Am Style-ish. Tiffany and her sister Jen have serious style and an obvious talent in designing jewelry. I’m incredibly thrilled I was able to get my little grubby paws on three pieces from their collection.

For someone who is accustomed to the poostank grade Forever21 stuff, I have to say what a thrill it is to wear truly nice jewelry. Nothing is falling apart, chipping or fading and you can just feel the difference in the quality. On top of everything else I love about T+J, their prices are incredibly reasonable. You guys will love their stuff, trust me.
Go check them out!

We’ve pretty much all experience road rage at some point in our lives, yes? Or if you’re like me, basically every instance in which you’re in or around a vehicle? I’d like to say I’ve been pretty good about keeping my rage in check while the kids are in the car. Then again, I’d also like to say Ryan Gosling is standing on my doorstep with a tiny guitar.
ANYWAY. The following story is a good reason why I should probably censor the rage a bit.
One morning last week, I took Maddie to Starbucks with me. We were just about to turn into the drive-thru when a white car cut across 3 parking lanes and sped in line ahead of us. It was a douche move, I’ll just say that right now. In my frustration, I threw up my hands and made a few unintelligible noises. No cuss words, just angry sounds, growls, etc. Maddie and I both speak in a growling voice on occasion. No idea when that started.
Maddie picked up on the subtle hint that I was unhappy and said, “WHAT DID THEY DO?” I told her the ladies in the white car were being rude and dangerous for cutting in line and almost hitting our car. Oh yeah, and I wanted my coffee like, 3 hours ago and how dare they get in my way!? She immediately joined the fight.
Way harsh, Tai.
In a growly voice, she said, “I don’t like those mean ladies. They drove too fast! GET OUTTA THE WAY, WHITE CAR!!!”
The car moved up in line as she gave them The Most Evil Stare I’ve ever seen. She said, “Thank you, white car!” followed by a nice, cheesy smile.
We moved up behind the car again and this is where things turned quite diabolical.
Growling, “I don’t like that white car, Mommy. They are mean for driving in front of us. I’m going to get No-No to scratch them in THE FACE!” (No-No is my parents’ cat, named by Maddie when all she could say was the word ‘no’.) I’m sure this doesn’t sound as bad (or as hilarious) as it was, but if you guys could hear her little sweet, yet angry voice saying these things, you’d die.
Like any good mommy would do, I told her it’s not very nice to wish cat scratches on the faces of our enemies. Then we proceeded to make silly faces at the driver through their back window. I think we all learned a good lesson.

It’s no secret I big puffy heart makeup. I have my go-to products for everyday wear, but once in a while I just need to mix it up a little. Thankfully, since there are so many awesome products available in drugstores, you don’t have to spend a ton to get a ton.
One of my favorite drugstore brands is Revlon. Their nail polish and lip glosses are my favorites, but really, all the products I’ve ever tried have been nothing short of amazing (and inexpensive and I know it’s tacky to talk about money, but we all love a good deal, don’t lie).
A few months ago, a new line of lipstick came out called the Lip Butters and everyone talking about them. Everyone, meaning, the beauty junkies on Youtube I stalk during nap time. Some of the girls love them, some don’t. Personally, I’m a huge fan. They glide on so smoothly and the colors are fantastic.
(And look! Emma Stone! How could you NOT like that girl??)
The other day at Target, I picked up a few things because I had some coupons:
(Yes, our new place has a pink bathroom. Maddie and her cousins love it.)
Normally, I don’t stray from the few foundations I know and love. BUT, this Photoready Airbrush stuff got me with it’s name. I tried it this morning, along with the 3D Volume mascara and Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake. UMM. AMAZING. All of them.

I’m no beauty blogger, but dude. Listen to me. Go get your hands on those Lip Butters if you haven’t already. I’m going back and snatching up the other shades as soon as I can get these two dressed and out the door.
So, who’s a fan of drugstore beauty brands? Anything I should try?
