A Little This And A Whole Lotta That

Oh dear, oh dear, it's Friday again! Why does this keep happening???? ~ Nan


I don't know, but all week long, I'm dying for it to get here... and then it arrives, and I realize we are due for a Saturday post! ~Erica


You know what they say...TGIF! But in our case we always say...YIKES it's Friday ~Mimi


Make dinner: Check. Do Dishes: Check. Friday Night post for Saturday....Uh, Check..I guess~ Tarah


Check for me too on the Friday Night post for Saturday...I guess *Phew* ~Mimi

Well, y'all know me. I'm a lost cause when it comes to ideas for a Saturday post. I think my CHECK ENGINE light just came on. Actually, I think it's been on since day one. ~ Miti


Um - Hello...I don't have time to create a 5 mom's post...can't you tell I have been working on my "PERSONAL" blog all week...Sheeeeeesh....~ Tarah

And it looks good Tarah. Go check out her cute makeover here. ~Mimi

YOU GO GIRL!!! ~ Miti to Tarah

That little linky love will cost you, so don't forget to post that post on your blog about how great your Cousin Mimi's blog is (with a link to my blog) & that everyone should be my friend. Thanks ~Mimi

I suppose it would be tacky to mention that I am giving away a free blog makeover on my personal blog to celebrate my one year blogaversary. So I won't mention go here to enter because that would be tacky. That's why I'm not doing it....... ~ Nan

Geez...why didn't someone tell me that having a job and blogging makes for a lot less time for blogging.....~ Tarah

Tarah, having a job and blogging makes for a lot less time for blogging. There, somebody told you, lol! ~ Nan


That is why I don't have a job, somethings gotta go & it isn't going to be Blogging. ~Mimi

I second that, Mimi!!! ~Miti

And I was in the middle of a great Bejeweled game when I had to pop in over here to add my two cents worth! ~Erica

And we always love your 2 cents worth Erica! ~Mimi

Erica actually gave up playing Bejeweled to come over here and add something to the post? Wow, we are truly honored! ~ Nan

Now, Erica, you know you're worth more to us than just 2 cents! I'd pay a WHOLE DOLLAR for your thoughts any day. If I wasn't a stay-at-home mom I'd pay more but I'm on a tight budget. Come to think of it, you're a REALLY good bargain! ~ Miti

I'm going to make brownies. Sounds like a Saturday kinda thing to do. ~ Tarah

When you are done with the Brownies, ship some to Michigan. Thanks! ~ Mimi

I just got done freezing chocolate-covered bananas. And I don't know about y'all but EATING them sounds like a Saturday kinda thing to do. I'd send you some Mimi but there's a little monkey here eye balling them and I don't think they'll make it much longer. ~ Miti

Does anybody care that I bought myself a cute top today for $10???? ~ Nan

I love new tops! I care, I care! Does it mention blogging? ~ Erica

{whispering} OH OH. I think Nan just changed the subject cause we were talking about
C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E :0 ~ Miti

WHAT? The "C" word? Nope. Nobody's talking about the "C" word around here, Nan. Right, Tarah?! {Changing the subject quickly} So, ummmmm, tell us more about that cute top Nan. I care. ~Miti

Oh no, you did NOT just mention *cough*chocolate*cough to me, did you? Did you????? ~ Nan

I do too Nan, but I got one for $9.99 today at TJMAXX a whole penny cheaper, maybe I should give the penny to Erica since she gave us her 2 cents. ~Mimi

Who will give Erica the other penny? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? ~Mimi

How about if I give her some belly button lint instead? I'm broke. ~ Nan

Ooooh, do I get the last word here? Do I? ~ Nan

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?????? ~ Nan

I could do this all day, folks. ~ Nan

And all night. ~ Nan

BTW, who is putting this puppy to bed. Me? ~ Nan

Did I mention I'm having a free blog makeover giveaway?????? ~ Nan
AND SHOCK SHOCK! Guess who the LAST one up tonight was? It's 1:35 a.m., I was at our HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME tonight, then the 'after party' playing photographer, and now I'm exhausted! And yes, I'm so tired that I'm only adding my one cent at the end here... but I couldn't let Nan get the last word in.... could I? I think not! Goodnight all! ~Erica
Happy Saturday All! OVER AND OUT!

The Five Moms Attempt Poetry!

(Erica) (Mimi) (Nan)

There once was a girl from Nantucket.



She carried her things in a bucket.


Her bucket was a pretty shade of yellow


In it was lunch for her fellow.

She packed him an apple and a PB&J,


but she knew he'd be happiest with his fresh combed toupee!



She prayed it would be a warm, sunny day



For she knew the wind would blow his hair away.


She sobbed because she knew she was as slow as a slug
and she would never be able to catch his rug.

And when he arrived, he rejoiced in his find...


for his shiney bald head weighed heavily on his mind.


Okay, so maybe it's not your typical "poetry"
but we're just five simple moms...

And you can't deny that we just made YOU smile!

Sorry, Too Busy To Post Today!!!

Yep, that's right. There will be no post today cuz we 5 Moms are just too busy to do a post.

You see,

...Erica's at a garage sale this morning. While she should be at home, in bed, snuggled beneath the covers SLEEPING IN, she's out in the "expected showers" having a much-needed garage sale along with some friends from church. Yep. What a great way to start a Saturday morning when all you wanna do is sleep in. Oh well, hopefully she'll rack in some green dough! Anyway, that's why SHE'S too busy to do a post today.

Erica, got anything good for sale that an Early Bird might want?~Mimi

I hear they love worms. {sinker} {sinker} ~ Miti

Erica, save me something, o.k? Because I really want to hit at least one more yard sale this year, so save something for me. O.k? But it needs to be something good and something I don't already have. So figure it out, o.k? Thanks! ~ Nan

...Miti's all excited cause she'll be packing her bags for Myrtle Beach and leaving Sunday morning. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Miti, I am Jealous!~Mimi

...Tarah's Out Of Town...Scrapbooking...Having A Girls Weekend...No Internet...Having MUCHO FUN!

FANTASTICO!!!! ~Miti

Tarah, I am JEALOUS-O! ~Mimi

...Nan is home sleeping. You heard me. Sleeping. Yup. Because Nan is home recovering from a lock-in at her church. And everybody knows that teenagers souped up on pizza, pop, and no sleep is just a headache waiting to happen. So Nan is home nursing her headache, sleeping and asking herself what she was thinking and reminding herself that she is to old to stay up as late as.....say....7:00 p.m. Nan is also wondering how she can sleep and ask herself questions at the same time.

Hope you're sleeping like a log, Nan. ~ Miti

Nan, I am Jealous!~Mimi

...Mimi's at her kids Saturday Activities...in the rain. Stunt Man's 10am Soccer Game, Model's 10am & 3:30pm Soccer Games & Actress' 10am Cheering practice. Yep, her only day to sleep in & she is up & out the door racing to & fro for the kiddos...in the rain! Wouldn't have it any other way!

Hey, Mimi, do you have a stunt momma we don't know about? Being at three different places at the same time has got to make you a SUPER MOM! That's AMAZING!!! ~ Miti

And there ya have it. We're all just TOO DOGGONE BUSY TO COME UP WITH A POST!

Oh... wait a minute. I think we just did?! Hmmph! Go figure?!

Well, hope the rest of you Bloggers are having a great weekend and are having a more relaxing weekend than we five are!

Guess What I Forgot...

What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever forgotten?


A kid? Matching shoes? Deodorant? Makeup?



• One of the million times I bought a pair of jeans from the Gap, I forgot to take that long what SIZE you wear sticker off the back leg & wore it around town all day until some guy told me at 7pm in Toys R Us that it was still on the back of my leg. Sheesh, now the whole world knows the SIZE of my backside. ~Mimi

I forgot to set the parking brake once and as the car started to roll down the driveway (it was icy) I tried to get behind it to "stop" it but my brother wouldn't let me. What was I thinking? Oh yeah, I wasn't. ~ Nan

• One time I got to work and realized I'd FORGOTTEN to put on a bra. Yea, like HOW the HECK do you forget THAT? I was probably about 21 years old and was in a dress... luckily I had very little to 'hide', but talk about embarrassing! Seriously! ~Erica

• Did I mention that sometimes I forget to eat? Yeah, I know. It's not like you can tell by looking at me, but many times I get so busy I forget to eat lunch. Yesterday I didn't eat lunch or dinner so had popcorn at about 9:30 at night! ~ Nan

• Um, yeah Nan...I'd forget to eat too....except my stomach won't let me. I TRY and TRY to forget to eat but it is like my car is on autopilot to yummy places like Panera and Starbucks...It's ALL their fault I am over weight!!! ~ Tarah

• I'm totally NOT kidding when I say that I totally spaced out that I was in charge of adding this post and scheduling it...That was NOT the other 4 moms forgetting on purpose...it was THIS mom who forgot. I am a real team playa!!! ~ Tarah

• One time we were having a Garage Sale & Actress posted the sign on the Van's back window...I had to run an errand & drove around town with a Garage Sale sign the size of a Tow Truck on my back window. Sweet! I was like the Pied Piper...no wonder all those people were following me. ~Mimi

• I forgot to do my taxes one year when I was single...No big deal. I'll see you in 10-20 ~ Tarah

• I forgot my son once. I thought hubby had him and hubby thought I had him so we both left church and then we got a phone call asking if we were missing somebody. ~ Nan

• I forgot that I left all the windows open at home when a MASSIVE rain storm hit my city. And when I say city, I really mean the storm just found MY HOUSE. Water about an inch thick and 25 large drying fans...Ahhh, good times! ~ Tarah

•I have forgotten to bring underwear to the gym when I am getting ready there. I mean it could be worse right? Well...not really, that is pretty bad. ~ Tarah

• Last week, I had a friends daughter for a youth event and they were babysitting Riley for me. After the event was over, I dropped off their daughter, waited for her to get in the door, and started driving off. Suddenly, they came back out to tell me, "YOU FORGOT RILEY!" Uh...OOOPS! ~ Erica

So what's the worst thing you've ever forgotten? Do tell!!!

Or maybe you've forgotten what you forgot?

Have a great weekend!

What's New With You?

So what's new at FIVE MOMS & A BLOG?

Well, you may have noticed that we gave ourselves a bit of a blog make-over. Tarah found us a vibrant new background, so we changed up the fonts a bit, and voila! Done! We think we LOVE the change. What do you think? (If you see flaws, glitches or spacing problems, please tell us in your comment so we know what to tweak. Thanks! ~Erica)

Hmmmm.... what else is new?

Well, Steve from over at "Gotta Have Faith" created this great new little MOM award and ever so sweetly honored we 5 Moms as one of it's first recipients. Woo hoo! Thank you so much, Steve!

If the rest of you haven't checked out his blog yet, be sure to stop on by!

Mimi is also having a giveaway right here on yesterday's post. You can still enter by commenting on that post... or even by commenting on THIS post! Why not?! It only takes a click & a comment.


So what's new with the Moms?




• Mimi is running crazy busy with 3 kids in 3 different sports, some on the same day some on different days. The minivan is racking up the mileage. Nuff said right?


• Miti has a VERY IMPORTANT wedding cake coming up next Saturday for a VERY SPECIAL couple. Her sister, Josette, is tying the knot in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee. WOW! A destination wedding!! Please pray that all goes well, including the cake arrival :0



• Nan made homemade tortillas (go here to read about it) and lived to blog about it. Between spilt water, cottage cheese on the floor (don't ask) and her dog licking the spatula they still managed to turn out and were yummy!


• Nan will also be mourning the loss of Diet Pepsi and chocolate this weekend, as she gave them up a couple of weeks ago but still misses them greatly.....sniff....snort....sniff.

• Erica has a whole football team coming to HER house today. Yep, her son Mathew turned 18 yesterday, so most of the football team will be invading her house for a party today. Yikes! Wish her luck!

Tarah might...

• Have a nervous breakdown after Wednesdays Post...stay tuned for hospital information if it happens!

• Try to rig the Giveway contest that is going on at 5 moms......What? I am not allowed to participate???Looks like one of YOU might have already rigged it....;)

• Actually cook dinner for her family for the 1st time this week.....hectic schedules really make me NEVER want to cook..Are you with me????


So what's new with YOU?


Here's hoping you have a fabulous weekend!!!

Really Random Thoughts by The 5 Moms....

Aw man, it's Saturday again? Just how many Saturdays does one month need? Hey anybody got any bright ideas as to what we can blog about? Just one good idea. It's all we need! ~ Nan

You know this girl has nothing unless someone starts something. Let's Get It Started In Here! ~Mimi

I have an idea..how about one of us prepares a post BEFORE Friday..Nah, scratch that ! ~ Tarah

Sounds good in theory...But, it would not be nearly as fun to have it ready before midnight Saturday morning. We are on a roll! ~Mimi

Mimi, you're on a roll.....I'm on a doughnut. ~ Nan

I mean what we're doing is WORKING for us... even if it is a last minute, chaotic rush! ~Erica

Tarah, I think we like the last minute gut-wrenching, stress-inducing pressure of waiting until the last minute to produce a post. Maybe we miss labor pains? ~ Nan
What do you mean none of my stuff showed up? Was I in there the exact SAME time as Miti? I am confused? ~ I had some good ones too...Oh, well ~ Tarah

Oh dear, I forgot to tell you all I'm in here. Please forgive me if I cancel out your post. ~ Nan

Well, I may have been in there too, but I'm not gonna admit it! So it HAD to be Miti....again. ~Erica

OK- Today we are posting about our favorite Teacher..in honor of school week, I'll be the scholar! Or...give me something better to work with! ~ Tarah

Oooh! Ooooh! Pick me! Pick me~ I homeschool! ~ Nan

Hey y'all! What's on the agenda for Super Saturday? Y'all know I'm easy as Sunday morning - Miti
Oh and I just finished shaving my legs and underarms and think that somebody should come up with colored deodorant. That way we can spray or roll on a little bit of color under our arms. I would pick blue. I like blue. Oh, and red. Maybe pink. But not yellow. ~ Nan

(((((birds chirping)))))

Okay, so why the heck would birds be chirping? Who wrote THAT? It's CRICKETS y'all. CRICKETS CHIRP!.... at least to express boredom and speechlessness. Birds chirping would represent love and harmony. Get it? ~Erica
{{crickets chirping}}
See! Much better. ha ha ha ~Erica again

Uhhhhh, I got nothing. ~ Miti

((((Hello)))) ((((Anybody out there?)))) Where my girls at? ~ Miti

I got the feeling I'm talking to myself again. ~ Miti


Come on y'all! Please don't give me the cold screen. I promise I'll contribute! ~Miti

Miti- Our fault we totally didn't clue you in...so here is your clue...Can you GUESS what this post is about? - We can't either ~ Tarah

(((Tarah))) (((Is that you?))) ~ Miti

Can you hear me now? ~ Miti

{{echo, echo, echo}}

Wait a minute.... Are we talking about shaving legs or favorite teachers? OH....I'm so confused!!! ~ Miti

I'm so tired, I have insomnia. Does that even make sense?? Blogging sometimes makes my mind numb. I guess I would like to thank my typing teacher for allowing me to type and be thinking about absolutely NOTHING!!! ~Tarah


Yay, it is you!!! ~ Miti

I would like to just ramble about how we took our boys to a Baseball game tonight that was 11-1 in the 4th inning and NOT in our teams favor...a TOTAL waste of money. I can't stand that. ~Tarah

Ahhh, man! Don't worry, Tarah. They'll make a comeback! ~ Miti

Well, I'm in here after the rest of the gals are asleep. It is 12:46 am on Saturday morning, and I just got home from my son's football game where WE WON!!!! (see that post on MY blog!) ~Erica

Tarah!!! Tarah!!! WAAAKE UPPP TARAH! ~ Miti

Oh no, Houston. we've got a problem. ~ Miti

Holding the fort down, is harder than I thought. (((MOMMA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?))). ~ Miti

Oh yea, y'all were gonna hold down the fort for ME while I was off at the game tonight! Thanks gals. Once again, another blog masterpiece. Well, I guess that's still to be determined by our readers, huh? Happy Saturday everyone. (now I'm off to BED!) ~Erica

Good grief, I thought you all would never go to bed. Don't you people ever sleep in the midwest or east coast or wherever you live? Finally, now I get the last word. Mwahahahahaha! ~ Nan

I can't believe I went to bed & missed all the fun.  Good Grief Charlie Brown I am always a day late & a dollar short. ~Mimi

Erica, can you fix my picture, Thanks girly.  ~Mimi

Movin on Up...

Movin' on up... to the EAST side... to a DELUXE apartment in the SKY...

Remember when....


YOU moved into your 1st apartment?


Were you so excited?


Scared?


Starting college or just getting the heck out of dodge to be your own person?



Well today and today ONLY..you are getting a sneak peek into the


1st Apartments of the 5 MOMS...



Dah dah da dun......


• My first apartment was called Ben Dover Farms seriously.

Ben Dover..who thought of that? ~ Tarah

• The kids below me must have been nocturnal because they were blasting music at all hours of the night. Didn't they know I needed my beauty sleep? ~Mimi

• Now don't be all shocked, but when I moved out of my parents house... I moved in with 3 guys. Amazingly my parents were fine with it. ~Erica


• My first washer took only .25 cents to wash and $2.00 to dry...is that weird?

I mean, did they just figure it would all come out in the wash? ~ Tarah


• I had a water bed. Enough Said ~ Tarah


• Our building was supposed to be secure & have doors that locked to the outside, but they didn't even have locks on them. I felt real safe. ~Mimi

• My bedroom window was right above the basketball court. The kids from the next building over would come and play BB every Saturday morning about 7 a.m. I was not amused. ~ Nan

• After living with three guys for about a year and a half, a fourth guy joined us. Talk about Testosterone City! But I loved it. ~Erica

• One feature I did love about my apartment was that the bathroom had the sink outside the door...right in the middle of the hallway. Very classy. ~Mimi

• I could not ever smell the delicious Indian food that was being cooked at all times during the day through the "THICK" walls of my apartment ~ Tarah

• My roommate had a dog, and her dog was very moody. Whenever my roommate left her dog would mope around the house until she got home. That dog would have nothing to do with me or anybody else. So, in a sense, I was living with a hostile roommate, lol! ~ Nan

• I often complain about having laundry in the basement of my house, but then I remember being on the 3rd floor of my apartment & having my laundry in the basement. Boy did I used to be skinny & in good shape from doing all those stairs. ~Mimi

• Okay, I must confess. I never lived in an apartment, so I have no stories to tell. In truth, I lived with my parents until Jason & I got married, he came with two little boys, thus the reason that I moved in with three guys. They were MY GUYS! And the other guy we moved in?? Well, that would be when I had Cameron. Hey, I didn't want to be left out of this post! ~Erica

• Erica, you should be so lucky. Listen to all our sweet stories of apartment life. I must confess...I love my house so much better. So glad you still joined in. ~Mimi

• Erica, you are indeed sneaky, lol! ~ Nan

• Erica, you had me going. You're so crazy! :o) I was thinking I was going to be the odd girl out on this one. I've never lived in an apartment either. Too bad we didn't have to go that route when we sold our house. I'm sure I would've had some interesting stories to tell. WHAT AM I SAYING?!! Thank goodness we didn't have to go that route! Now on the other hand, if we were talking about living in a double-wide trailer, then I'd have some things to talk about. ~ Miti

When I Was A Kid...

Ya know, back when I was a kid....

• I would slide down our steps on an old cardboard box. ~Mimi

• Oooooh, Mimi, I did that too!!!! ~ Nan

• I loved eating the sugar kool-aid straight from the jar...it stained your hands so nice too.~Mimi

• I chewed Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum. You could blow huge bubbles, and it wouldn't stick to your face! GRAPE was my flavor of choice. Their commercials were pretty cool, too! ~Erica

• I would sneak into the medicine cabinet and drink Pepto right out of the bottle! It just looked so yummy and pretty N' pink. It's a good thing I never got caught. It's also a good thing it didn't kill me! But don't y'all worry. Recommended dosages are all this girl needs nowadays. ~ Miti

• I played for hours in rain puddles until the street lights came on.~Mimi

• I had short hair but I always wanted long hair. So I pretended I had two long braids by putting a pair of pantyhose over my hair (not my face). ~ Nan

• My mom would just about pull my brains out trying to put my hair in piggy tails. Ooooo I can still feel the pain. But, I took it like a WOman (and held on for dear life.) It's NOT easy being a girl! ~ Miti

• I was my dad's remote control. Whenever the TV needed to be changed he would call me in from another room to change it.~Mimi (Me too! ~Erica)

• I played touch football, soccer, and baseball with the neighborhood kids. ~ Nan

• I made a go-cart out of an old upright shopping cart... you know, the kind that the bag boys loaded all of the full brown-paper-bags onto when they toted them out to your car? Think way back! Anyway, we named our go-cart "Jumpin' Jupiter". We'd push it to the top of the hill, and riiiiiiide it all the way down. ~Erica

• We used to ring doorbells and run. ~ Nan

• I went out on my first date. Yup! That's right! When I was a kid, I had to go with my sisters on their dates. Awful for my sisters. GREAT for me!!! (That is until I got my own boyfriend.) ~ Miti

• When I was a kid, I loved my Fisher Price Baby Ann doll! In fact, I still have "Annie"! And when Riley was a year old, I found one for her on Ebay, so we have matching first dolls. ~Erica

• I loved a good game of Dodge Ball, Four Square, Freeze Tag & Red Rover.~Mimi

• I would dance the night away at family parties, never too shy to ask for a dance. The only problem was that the only ones available were old men. I was desperate, I guess. ~ Miti

• We didn't have a VCR. We had a total of 4 channels to watch, and that was good enough. Captain Kangaroo, Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch, and I Dream of Jeanie kept me entertained quite nicely! ~Erica






What did YOU ♥ as a Kid?

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!

Driving Makes Perfect... NOT~

What kind of driver are you?


What kind of driver should you be?


A few secrets from the cars or minivans of the 5 Moms!


• I'm the kind of driver who is always driving perfectly...except for when I am swerving to hand my kids something in the backseat ~ Tarah

• I'm the kind of driver that texts while driving even though I know I shouldn't. Shame on me!!!~Erica

• I'm the kind of driver who may go through a YED light
(that is yellow & red if you get my drift) ~ Tarah

• I'm the kind of driver who "talks" with my hands, which makes it difficult to talk and drive at the same time! ~ Nan


• I'm the kind of driver who rides around with my TPMS light on for MONTHS and does not check out what it means...until I blow a tire and realize that TPS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. ~ Tarah

• I'm the kind of driver who sits there and wonders what that annoying sound is, only to realize that the turn signal is still on! ~ Nan

• I'm the kind of driver that is a SUPER good backer-upper! This woman can back up at full speed just like I'm going forward. NO PROBLEM! ~Erica

• I'm the kind of driver that drives and drives around the whole stinkin' parking lot til I find the perfect spot (it's usually in the very front and preferably next to the buggies.) It not about being lazy, AT ALL! It's more about time management. *snicker*- Miti



• I'm the kind of driver that has a new do at each location because we have no A/C in our minivan...but I can sure rock the comb over! ~Mimi

• I'm the kind of driver that will accidentally push the wrong button and will turn the wipers on by mistake, turn the cd player on, or accidentally open the trunk while driving. ~ Nan

• I'm the kind of driver that drives with my eyes shut tight. JUST KIDDING PEOPLE! But I might as well be. I still can't believe I passed my eye exam at the DMV. It's a miracle! A miracle I tell ya! - Miti

• I'm the kind of driver that rides with my blinker on until it starts dinging at me to shut it off. I probably drive all the people behind me crazy. ~Mimi


• Crazy is under-rated, Mimi! ~Erica

• I'm the kind of driver that seems to get just a little too close to the parking lot medians. Every time I try to pull her on out of there to get to the next store, I end up going 4-wheelin' instead. - Miti

• I'm the kind of driver that hates to back out of parking spots & tries to drive forward whenever possible only to run over the parking blocks, get stuck & then back out anyways. ~Mimi

• I'm the kind of driver that will try to parallel park in a space that's too small, get almost all the way in, and then give up - which makes the people behind me waiting nice and mad - til they get the spot for themselves. ~Erica

• I'm the kind of driver that always forgets what side of the van my gas tank is on & has to drive around the gas station to get the pump on the right side. ~Mimi

• I'm the kind of driver that will adjust the rear view mirror about 50,000 times just so that I can get it "right." ~ Nan

• I'm the kind of driver that men like to refer to as a "WOMAN DRIVER." Whatever!!! - Miti


So you see, we're all PERFECT drivers.
So what kind of driver are YOU?

I'm Like A What?

I'm like a Theater. I'm surrounded by Drama & Singing. Love you Actress & Model! ~Mimi

I'm like a frog. I keep hopping from one thing to another. ~Nan

I'm like an Ice Cream Shake. Cold, but I melt fast! ~Tarah

I'm like a present. Good things come in small packages. ~Miti (written by Mimi)

I'm like a quarter pounder except I'm totally more than a quarter pounder...What's up with that? ~Tarah

Saturday Shout-Outs!

We would love to thank every single person that has given this little blog shouts-outs, props, praise, and posted our Blog Button around the Blogger Universe. Thank you for helping spread the word for us!!! We love our followers and friends! If we failed to mention you, please forgive us. It wasn't intentional.

We were given some awards and we wanted to personally thank y'all for thinking of us!!!

Tiffany at Paging Doctor Mommy awarded we Five Moms with the "Kreativ Blogger Award". Thanks Tiff!!! We're so glad you think we're creative Kreativ!






Crystal at Beachy Keen honored us with the Honest Scrap Award. Crystal wrote, "I really just ADORED their blog banner.....but the blog itself is very well written and quite interesting!" Thanks again Crystal! We're so glad you're enjoying our craziness. :o)



And we sometimes just feel the need to give some Shout-Outs of our own, so here goes nothin'...


• I wanna give a great big shout-out to my Daddy today! It's his 62nd BIRTHDAY!!! Woo Hoo! And he's having a real-life, honest to goodness, for real birthday party this afternoon. I honestly, in my whole life, don't remember EVER having a party for him. But today's the day! Happy Birthday Dad!!! ♥ Erica



• I'd like to give a shout-out to Erin. Mimi did a post on her Mom Brain. Erin commented "I've also noticed that I've started saying things like, "Go get me the ball, when I mean go get me the something-else-that-begins-with "b"...apparently my brain is now just speaking in short-hand and my mouth isn't up to speed. Get in the car can easily become get in the cat. The children are now just shaking their heads and doing what they think I intended." Thanks, Erin! I just thought the whole cat thing was hysterical, and now I have to leave and get in the car...I mean, the cat, sheeeesh! ~ Nan

•I wanna give a whoop whoop to Carrie @ Martin Manor Happenings. I just love her loyal comments and she has some great personal photos on her blog...that girl has some MAD snapping skillz with the camera....You Dig? ~ Tarah

• I totally second that, Tarah! Carrie's images look like 'freezeframes' in the mind's eye of what a perfect memory is. I love her work and always find myself studying them. Double shout-outs to Carrie! ~ Erica

• I want to give a shout-out to chocolate. It has always been there for me, ever since I was a kid. It has never demanded anything of me, nor withheld any of it's chocolatey goodness from me. Not only that, but it never says "You again?" when I keep coming back for more. ~ Nan

• I want to say...TGIS! Thank God It's Saturday! This week has been way too long & I am ready to enjoy the weekend! ~Mimi

Erica, thanks for noticing my word/spelling error on my post yesterday. Glad that you got a laugh! ~Mimi

• Hey, No problem, Mimi! It was my pleasure finding out you like slime. Seriously, it was FUH-NEEEE! ~ Erica {giggle}


Hope y'all are having a GREAT weekend!

I Got UR Backs...



Together (the 5 moms) collaborate on our weekend posts.


The past weeks have been an interesting take on several things from snacks to embarrassing moments. Well this week we all got a little hairy....SO MUCH going on over the summer that our collaboration went a little south (well OK, so we didn't have anything prepared) so I am hopping on and writing a little something and they can just add in throughout the day as their schedule permits. That's what we do around here ;)
We got each others backs...or at the bare minimum at least each others computer screens!!!
So here is just a little something that I LOVE about each one of my partners in crime:

Erica-
She is so darn bubbly...Honestly, you could read the emails at midnight and still detect that smile on her face! I love that about her. Makes me strive to be a little happier!

Mimi-
Aside from HAVING to like me because I am her cousin...I could not ask for someone who understands my sense of humor more....GOTTA have that in life...FOR REALZ...Right Blair!!! ;)
PS...this is the girl that keeps me in check...you know who that is in your life ;)


Miti -
Seriously...we have one of the most adorable people on the planet helping us on our blog! How lucky are we...Miti...a girl needs a girl friend who bakes GORGEOUS cakes and just brings them over for no good reason...I mean aside from the fact that it might take you 48 full hours for that masterpiece and it only takes me 8 minutes to eat it. Good thing we are not neighbors!!

Nan-
I gotta get my NAN fix! She has the best insight! Some really great wisdom and a really great sense of humor to boot + She is a great example of the kind of wife that I strive to be.


So Ladies....
I was up until 1:30AM anyways...rest assured ;)



----------------------------------------------------------------

It's now 1:42 a.m. my time... and I just stumbled over to the computer to see what was up. What do I find? This super sweet post from Tarah - so sweet, that I dare not touch it. It needs nothing more. Other than for me to say "Thank you!!!" to Tarah. Oh wait.... it does need this:

Tarah -

I ran across the most awesome word verification the other day. It said simply "Sweetheart". Yep, spelled out perfectly, just like that. And who is the WORD VERIFICATION QUEEN? Yes, that would be Tarah. So who else could it have been talking about, but our dear sweet Tarah. See, Word Verification does actually love you, Tarah.... and so do we! ~Erica

Saturday Slip-ups

SILLY or SCAREY! We've had our fair share of "Slip-ups".
Do we dare admit them? Hmmm...


Sure why not!

• I was 21 and playing Liesel in the Sound of Music. I was singing and dancing my lil' heart out and suddenly my feet got all tangled up. I looked down and saw my slip.... my skirt had fallen off and was now at my ankles! I pulled it up, ran off stage, fixed it, and it was on with the show! ~ Nan

• I used to 'pad' the top of my swimsuit a little back in my younger days - trust me, it was necessary! So I jumped off the diving board at a pool party only to have the padding fly out of one side. Yea, that was LOVELY! ~ Erica

• I'm not sure that I am fully prepared to share this story. It still wakes me up out of a dead sleep sometimes....but Erica is insisting (LOL) so here I go...Age 14: Location: Novi Mall Michigan: Time of Year, Christmas. Shopping with my mom and we had about 20 bags each on our arms...no joke. I stepped on the escalator and my mom and I started joking around she pushed me a little, I lost my balance and I fell.....BAD. I mean, so bad that my long hair got stuck in the escalator at the bottom. My hair had to be cut off and Yep you guessed it. There are now stop buttons on escalators thanks to me and MANY of my unfortunate escalator falling friends...YIKES..I am NOT coordinated. ~ Tarah
(I had nuthin' to do with this one! ~Erica)


• I am always opening cupboards to get stuff out, similiar to how you get things out...except I always forget to shut them until I run my forehead smack dab into it while turning around to get something else out of another cupboard...I seriously do this once a week. Thank Goodness Black & Blue are two of my favorite colors to wear. ~Mimi

• I have two little brothers. Both are adopted. When we were still just "fostering" but already in the adoption process with the 2nd/younger one, we had gone grocery shopping. Grant (14 months old) was in the seat part of the shopping cart. We hadn't put a single grocery in the cart yet when I (7 years old) decided to stand up there on the cart... right there with Grant. To my dismay, the whole cart started tipping towards me. I was able to jump off and get back, but poor little Grant held tightly as the cart tipped forward.... his hands gripping the bar that it would land on. The weight of the cart....(brace yourself).... popped all of his little fingertips. He had to get stitches in all of his fingers, and it was all my fault. I can still see it all.... in SLOOOW MOTION in my head. Poor baby. =0( AND they still let us adopt him, DESPITE me. ~Erica

• My hair used to be long enough that I could sit on it. One time I rushed out the door only to be painfully yanked back. Somehow my ponytail had caught in the door hinges and the door was now closed. I was stuck. I tried reaching behind me to unlock the door but I couldn't get close enough to unlock it (I had locked it when I slammed the door shut). The only thing I could do was slowly (and painfully) tug my hair free a little at a time. ~ Nan

• So my thumb has a permanent dent in it from when my dad accidentally shut the car trunk on my hand. Looks like my parents should get the parent of the year award! ~ Tarah

• When I was about 17 & in the Youth Group, we were all at the church having a bon fire & just goofing around. Our church was off of an old dirt road at the time. It was very dark & we were all silly to the point of no return. A car pulls slowly into the church parking lot towards us with the high beams on & I jump in front of it holding my right arm up while singing "Stop in the name of Love" only to realize that it was a police car. My singing career took a sudden halt that night! ~Mimi

• Yeah, I'm an allstar volleyball player who WEEKLY takes a ball to the face...am I ever going to get depth perception???? ~ Tarah

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Commercial Chatter

♪ ♫ What Would ya Do-ooo-ooo ♫ ♪
...for a Klondike Bar?


• Well, seeing as I've NEVER in my life had a Klondike bar, I probably wouldn't do much for one. ~ Erica

• I'm tellin ya, the latest commercial where the guy is rubbing the old lady's feet...Yeah NO, I am not doing that for a little ice cream bar...~ Tarah


♪ ♫ I'm A Pepper, He's a Pepper, ♫ ♪
She's a Pepper, We're a Pepper.
Wouldn't ya like to be a Pepper, too?

• I totally LOVE Dr. Pepper. It's one of my two favorite drinks. Mmmmm! I'm definitely a Pepper! ~Erica

• So let me get this straight....just because they named the drink Dr. Pepper, they think they can just assume we are all peppers? Yes, occasionally I will partake in a Dr. Pepper and enjoy my Pepper beverage..but being classified as a Pepper? I'm gonna have to get back to you on that one! ~Tarah


♪ ♫ Red Lobster for the Seafood Lover in you! ♪ ♫

• Too bad I hate Seafood & always order the Chicken Fingers! YUM!~Mimi

• I absolutely LOVE their biscuits though! I never have room for the dinner cuz of those FABULOUS-O BISCUITES!!! {{mouth watering now}} ~ Erica

•Do I drag my kids there for a Caesar salad, chicken fingers and biscuits....oh, and a really really long stare at the creepy lobsters who are about to be cooked? NOPE Not Me! ;) ~ Tarah


♪ ♫ Rice-A-Roni the San Fransisco Treat ♫ ♪

•Why is it a side dish in my house & a treat in San Fransisco? Just Sayin...my kids don't find it a treat.~ Mimi

• Eh, it's one of those "It'll do" kinda meals here. Nothin' to write home about, fer shur! ~ Erica

I mean really? Since when is San Francisco known for rice? I think San Francisco might be known for insanely annoying jingles! ~ Tarah


♪ ♫ See it Jiggle, Watch it Wiggle ♫ ♪


•I sure hope we are talking about Jello & not my booty! ~ Mimi

• Your booty can't shake, Mimi! You work out! I'm sure you have a Tight End. No wait, that's Tarah. ~ Erica

•Since when did we start talking about my Tight End? He's Mine. LOL

I'm sure he would be flattered, although secretly...it DOES jiggle and wiggle a little! (and mine doesn't)! He He He~ Tarah


♪ ♫ Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybeline ♫ ♪

•Yea, I'm born with it...so Erica, you can let Cam know for me! Thanks~Mimi

Clairol or Loreal - I'm just sayin! ~ Erica

• Good gravy, if I was born with it..I need a refund, unless Maybeline is in the Face Lift business...and then I was born with it! ~ Tarah

Saturday Crunch & Munch

We know your chomping (on the chips) to get this post dippin!

Muncha buncha Muncha buncha....Fritos go with lunch!

We are in a jam (with crackers) and we need to know what your families like to munch on!
Help us get on a roll (with butter) to get some new "Munchin" menus for our families!

Here are a couple of the MOMS favorites..Hope you Enjoy!

We are a Wavy Lays & Deans French Onion Dip family all the way ~ Tarah

Q :How many pounds of potato chips are consumed by Americans each year?
A: 2 BILLION pounds

That is alot of chips my friends! Wow!
My husband consumes about half that himself in Doritos each calendar year. Yikes! ~Mimi

Tortillas, in a little bit of oil in a pan, cut a tortilla into 4, fry a little bit until golden, and then stick in a paper bag with cinnamon and sugar and they taste like Taco Bell cinnamon chips ~ Tarah


We like to munch on some sun.....Sun Chips that is..... ~ Miti


Just plain ole' nachos. Grab some chips, slap some cheddar on them and nuke 'em! ~ Nan


We love fresh homemade salsa (Roma Tomatoes, Yellow Hungarian Peppers, Jalepenos, Onions, Garlic Salt, Pepper, Vinegar, & Cilantro) Tortilla Chips from the health food store. YUM! ~Mimi

I'm boring. I'm perfectly happy with a fresh bag of DORITOS and a glass of BIG RED! Now you ladies don't all have BIG RED in your area, but we Texan gals do and it's GOOOOOOD! ~Erica

Actress makes apples cut into small pieces topped with cinnamon sugar! Yum Yum Yum Deliciouso! Is that how you spell it Miti? ~Mimi

LOL! Close enough Mimi. ~Miti

We love just plain ole' buttered popcorn that hubby makes from scratch!!!! ~ Nan

A box of Rosemary & Olive Oil Triscuits with a little munster cheese melted on top..so good! ~ Tarah

Slice of swiss cheese w/ salt on top...Y-U-M-M-Y!!! ~ Mimi

Now let me tell y'all how the Latinos do it. One munch that we love isn't crunchy at all. It's called ceviche. Have y'all heard of it? It's fish marinated in lime juice, salt, ground black pepper, minced onions & red bell peppers, and cilantro. DELICIOSO!!! ~Miti

We also LOVE LOVE LOVE homemade pico de gallo with lime tortilla chips! Que Rico!! ~Miti

Do TELL...what are your families Munchin on?

A Red, White & Blue Saturday


Hope you are out and about today... celebrating our country's Independence Day! Is there a parade in town? Are you wearing your patriotic clothing?


Erica ~

My family and I are usually IN our small town's 4th of July Parade every year. This year, however, we are not. We're just going to sit and enjoy the parade, watching all the floats as they pass by! After the parade, we're heading to friends for a relaxing party, and from there we'll all head out to go watch our town's fireworks together.

My favorite 4th of July memory would be of the 2nd parade that we were in
back in 2004 when I was pulled along in a RICKSHAW right alongside our church's huge CATERPILLAR full of our kiddos!


Nan ~

We usually spend the Fourth with our family and friends. We eat way to much food, talk and laugh to much, make s'mores over the firepit and watch the fireworks show on the lake.


Mimi~

This year we will all be in our Old Navy Flag shirts just like every year. My husband hates it, but humors me every year. That is one good man!

He loves me enough to even get a family picture in our cute shirts. Pick some up for your family for just $5 at your local Old Navy or at Old Navy.com. Wonder if I will get paid for that infomercial?

We will eat lots of food, get fat, feel a little sick, eat some more, feel a little more sick & then go watch the fireworks.

Yep, bloated bellies & fireworks...nothing better on July 4th!

Happy Independence Day!


Miti -

This year, we're celebrating in true patriotic spirit. There's nothing more American than enjoying a good ole game of baseball and eating a hot dog with all the fixin's, while rooting for the home town team. Our Hickory Crawdads are playing against the Hagerstown Suns. After the game, fireworks will be lighting the Carolina sky. Our 4th will be a home run, for sure! Except for our dog Petey. Hopefully, the chamomile will calm him just in time for the booms in the sky.

Even though I wasn't born in this great country, I still feel a great sense of pride and I'm blessed to call it my home!



We hope you have a wonderfuly 4th of July spent with loved ones! ~♥ The 5 Moms

Some Saturday Silliness

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

A: Who cares!? I long for the day that a chicken can cross the road without his motives coming into question. ~Erica

Q: How come the possum can't even get to the other side????? ~ Nan

How come people call you a chicken when you're too scared to do something? The chicken wasn't a chicken when it crossed the road. I think that was pretty brave of the chicken- Miti

Why do we call it a ponytail and two ponytails are called pigtails? Did I miss something? Do pigs have two tails? I'm just sayin...~Mimi


I've always wondered why we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? English language...not one bit confusing~Tarah


What happened to the B batteries?~Mimi


How come the hair on our legs will only grow so far and then it stops growing, whereas the hair on our heads can grow and grow? How come I am even asking this question? ~ Nan


How come men can grow hair on their legs with no problem but lose the hair on their heads? How come I seem to be obsessed with leg hair today? ~ Nan


Why do they put braille on the drive thru ATM machines? ~Mimi


Egg Rolls and not really Eggs Rolled? In fact they are fried dough stuffed with vegetables and meat...does this make sense? ~Tarah


A joke from QB...What do pirates like to eat??? Arrrrrrby's ~ Tarah & QB


I am a homeschooling mom. Do you know what a homeschooling mom does at a parent-teacher conference? We talk to ourselves in the mirror. ~ Nan


I was a homeschooled kid! Did you know that in my class, I was Class Clown, Valedictorian, Most Likely To Succeed, AND Least Likely To Succeed? How cool is that? ~Erica


Erica, I guess you have no embarrassing school pictures because your Mom forgot it was picture day and dressed you in a Betty Boop shirt & forgot to comb your hair? No wait...that was Me & my Mom. ~Mimi


Just like Erica my kids are/were homeschooled. When my oldest graduated he was at the top of his class and the bottom of his class. I graded on a curve..... ~ Nan


Nan, did you ever buy yourself gifts for teacher appreciation day? It is actually a week long celebration...if not, you should write that into your lesson plans for next year! I'm just sayin...any excuse to get gifts right? ~Mimi


Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
And only God
can make a tree.
(Yea, I know... doesn't rhyme a bit! That's why it's silly!) ~ Erica


"And so I sez to myself....self? I sez......."
Yup, sometimes I find myself talking to myself. Then I find myself talking to myself telling myself that I am talking to myself. As if I'm not aware of it. The sad thing is, sometimes even I don't listen to me. ~ Nan


So that's what a homeschool parent-teacher conference sounds like. Interesting. - Miti


Don't worry Nan. We don't listen to you either! ~AnonEmous =0)


Wishing that chicken would cross the road and go leave a "gift" on Erica's front porch, lol! ~ Nan

Have a GREAT WEEKEND EVERYBODY!

I'll Never Do That!!!

"I will NEVER do that when I grow up! NEVER!"

Yeah, right!


• When I was a kid... if we bit our tongues while at the dinner table, my dad would always say "Don't eat your tongue! There's plenty of food still!" I never found it funny when I was in pain. I would NEVER say that to my kids.... or else my 17 year old might have said it BACK to me this week when I bit my tongue. I was mad at myself for teaching him that bratty little phrase. How could I become my father like that? ~Erica

• I would never tell my kids, "Stop crying, or I'll give you something to cry about." Nope. Not I. What kind of mom tells that to her kids? Oh wait a minute, that's right....A FRUSTRATED one. ~Miti

• I would never spit on something and wipe off my kid's face when they were little. I didn't like it when my mom did it to me and I certainly wouldn't do it to my kids. Yeah, right. ~ Nan

• I would never tell my kids that they are a better door than a window...that is the lamest saying ever and my mom repeated it like 10,000 times in my childhood... I have to remind myself every time "Child, can you please move so mommy can see the BIGGER screen than the one she types on"? Thanks....~ Tarah

• I would never let the TV watch my kids...Mommy has to get a shower sometime people. ~Mimi

• I would never answer a "Why?" question with "Because I said so, that's why." Nope, my kids would always get a nice, long, lengthy explanation. Oops, blew this one too. ~ Nan

• I would never tell my kids "You've got enough toys." You could NEVER have ENOUGH toys, right? Ah....WRONG! ~ Miti

• I would never wipe my kids nose on my pants...that is just plain gross and I always said to my husband, if you catch me doing that lock me up...well, from the looks of things, I should be serving 10-20 cuz boo-gars are all over this MOMS drawers. ~ Tarah

•I would never spit on my fingers to clean my kids faces...Cause that is just gross, but I can't let my messy face kids be seen in public, so spit be a flying in an emergency!~Mimi

• I would never have coffee as a meal...I promised myself and I still do it like 4 days a week...~Tarah

• I would never spit clean my kids either. NO WAY! YUCK! ~ Miti

• I would never lose my imagination. I was going to be that cool mom that PLAYED BARBIES and built forts and climbed trees with my kids. Imagination? GONE with the winds of time!!!! ~ Erica

• I would never tell my kids about "The Good Ole Days" because they wouldn't get it anyways & that would make me be just like my parents that walked uphill both ways to school.~Mimi

• I would never spend all day slaving in the kitchen over a meal while the family is off having fun! Oh wait, I actually NEVER DO THAT! My bad. ~ Erica =0)

•I would never let my kids drink Iced Coffee because it would stunt their growth & I didn't start drinking coffee until I was 34 years old. What kind of Mom would do that?~Mimi

• I would never let my kids drink pop or eat candy, because I never eat or drink it myself....you believe me, right, right? (You shouldn't, lol!) :-) ~ Nan

• I would never not make a homemade meal...McDonalds count...RIGHT? RIGHT? ~ Tarah

• I would never, ever say "because I said so," either Nan. Why? Well, because I said so, that's why. YEAH RIGHT!! This has come to be one of my favorite saying these days. Oh, nothing like a 3yr old to make you turn into your mom. ~Miti
