2003 Flashback!

I was flipping through an old "Parenting" magazine from 2003, looking for photos of smiling babies for a wall poster I'm working on...if you're curious, stop by the Nursery this Sunday!  I (should) have it finished by then.

Anyway, amongst the "Baby Einstein" and Boppy ads, there were some real gems that I thought were worth sharing. 

Enjoy!

5 signs you need to get out more

1. You don't know a single song on MTV's Video Music Awards...

2. ...and yet you can sing all the words to "Elmo's Song," "The Wheels on the Bus," and "Puff the Magic Dragon."

3. You realize that the best birthday present you can get is an uninterrupted bath and a clean kitchen after breakfast.

4. You find yourself glued to the Dora the Explorer Pirate Adventure video long after your kids have left the room.

5. You publicly drink from a juice box.


5 special perks of motherhood

1. You have an excuse for keeping Cap'n Crunch in the house.

2. You alwars have a handy reason to get off the phone-dirty diaper, tantrum, you name it.

3.  You can watch all those films you used to love, like Bambi.\

4.  You can finally stash that ugly vase/picture frame/candy dish your mother-in-law/sister/friend game you.  (After all, you wouldn't want the baby to break it!)

5. There's always someone who thinks you're the most beautiful person in the world.


For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.   -- Ephesians 2:10
