I received this email from my father and thought I’d share it with everyone. To me, it never gets old reading it. Hope everyone enjoys!

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

1) No matter how hard you try, you can’t baptize cats..
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don’t let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don’t hit her back. They always catch the second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can’t trust dogs to watch your food..
6) Don’t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair..
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
You can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don’t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you’re sad is Grandma’s lap.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don’t hurt.
3) Families are like fudge…mostly sweet, with a few nuts
4) Today’s mighty oak is just yesterday’s nut that held its ground…
5) Laughing is good exercise. It’s like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy..

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional…
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you’re down there.
4) You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It’s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions…
6) Time may be a great healer, but it’s a lousy beautician
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:

1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don’t believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus..
4) You look like Santa Claus.

SUCCESS:

At age 4 success is . . . . Not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . .. Having friends.
At age 17 success is . .. Having a driver’s license.
At age 35 success is . . . ..having money.
At age 50 success is . . . Having money..
At age 70 success is . .. . Having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is . .. . Having friends.
At age 80 success is . . .. Not piddling in your pants.

Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way;
BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day.
Have a wonderful day with many *smiles*

Take the time to live!!!
Life is too short.
Whoo-hoo!

We Want It Wednesday will be back on Wednesday! :heart:

Well, as everyone has probably noticed, Mom’s Most Wanted has not been hosting as many giveaways as we used to. It’s not due to the lack of sponsors. It is because since Mom Claire’s resignation, Mom Stefanie (me) has started working full-time, attending college full-time, and taking care of the family. Mom Jessie has been a tremendous help in getting posts up.

I was also  throwing around some thoughts in my head as to where I wanted Mom’s Most Wanted to go. I have decided that I would like to include some substance to the site, other than giveaways. We will continue to do giveaways and We Want It Wednesday though. I would like to ask any bloggers out there that would like to contribute articles about parenting, children, relationships, and any family friendly writings (not previously posted anywhere else) to Mom’s Most Wanted. These articles would be front page posts and I encourage discussion of the articles through comments. If you would like to contribute an article, you will get full credit and if you have a button, it will be posted with the article.

If you or someone you know would like to submit an article for review, please email the article to momsmostwanted at yahoo dot com. Please place “Article  submission” in the subject line of the email so I can keep them organized. Remember, the articles must be new and not written anywhere else. You can always link back to your article, if it is published here.  Also, please provide the html for your button so that it can be published along with your article. All articles submitted will be reviewed and an email will be sent stating whether your article will be posted or not, and if not, a reason why.

I would love nothing more than to spotlight some of our wonderful readers and hear thoughts about this morph that Mom’s Most Wanted is going through…

Stay tuned though, there are some giveaways coming up that I think you will like (hint – hands free bluetooth)! Just give me a bit to get it all finished up.

I want everyone to know that I truly appreciate all our readers and love you all! Thank you for your time and I look forward to receiving those articles! Happy 1 year anniversary to Mom’s Most Wanted!

Warmest regards,

Mom Stefanie

“What would happen if the Beastie Boys collaborated with Mr. Rogers? The answer is found on the Imagination Movers’ three critically acclaimed indie CDs: “Calling All Movers,” “Good Ideas,” and “Eight Feet” and their first national release “Juice Box Heroes.” Oh and don’t forget they also have an award-winning, grass roots DVD “Stir It Up” to throw in the mix too.  Indeed, the Movers sing about things they know: messy rooms, healthy snacks, sibling rivalry and other topics that relate to being a little kid. Their musical style, however, would sound right at home on a weekly MTV countdown.
