Calling all Yummy Mummies (YES, THIS MEANS YOU) If you are a Mother, THAT in it’s self makes you a YUMMY MUMMY (I know it’s not spelled “Right” but I am spelling it that way for a reason, Hahaha !!! I know you all know what I’m talking about, we all have those days were we’re so busy and frazzled that we are lucky to know our own names, and have on matching shoes. We LITERALLY feel like zombies or mummies !!!!
I actually have a funny story to tell about matching shoes, hahaha !!!! It was a hectic morning and my son kept asking to go for a walk, so I called my walking buddy to meet us for a play date at the park. I was so frazzled by the time I left the house, I failed to notice that I had two different colored flip flops on my feet. One pink and the other purple. I was 20 minutes away from home before I noticed, and at that point I REALLY didn’t care. I figured if anybody asked, I did it on purpose, hahaha !!! Hey people wear some pretty strange get ups around here. I totally could’ve gotten away with it.
When we finally met my friend and her son at the park, she busted out laughing at me, but totally understood how I managed it,lol!! Being single moms sometimes we even go a whole day without looking in the mirror we’re so busy. BUT when we finally do OH MY WORD, we’re horrified that we’ve been out in public looking like that all day, and ummmmmm why didn’t anybody tell us. hahaha !!! (That’s my favorite line to say to my girls, “ummmmmmmm, have I looked like this ALL day??? Why didn’t anybody tell me, I looked like I stuck my finger in a light socket??” It always gets a good laugh!!!

This poem hung on a plaque in my Nanny’s bathroom for many years, I read it EVERY TIME I visited.!!! I have always been and always will be a kid at heart. I stop at least once a day and think about either these little things or others that are quite similar. I also find my 19 month old son stopping to pick up a pretty rock or actually stopping to smell the roses. ( I cried a little the first time he did it, it was so random,lol) But we all need to be more aware of the beauty that surrounds us EVERY SINGLE DAY. The sound of birds chirping, the smell of the newly bloomed lilacs, catipillers crawling in the grass, or maybe an afternoon of cloud watching followed by a beautiful sunset!!!!!
Don’t Ever out grow the little things
The world just gives away
The free fresh air and sunshine
And the games the robins play
Don’t ever out grow the magic
Of a puddle in the rain
The splash one little puddle makes
The joy rainbows contain
Don’t ever out grow the shady trees
With shadows twice their size
And the wonder of a perfect moon
That captivates your eye
Don’t ever out grow the tender heart
That loves the things is sees
And clings to all the is beautiful
In treasured memories
