1. I cloth diaper.  Yup, you heard right.  I cloth diaper, which entails rinsing poopy ones in the toilet.  Yes, I have a strong stomach!  [But I save the REALLY big ones for Ken.  His stomach is made of steel! And, he the babies daddy...better recognize!]
2. My kids always have my undivided attention. [When I'm not painting, cleaning, cooking, blogging, tweeting, mowing the lawn, mixing a drink, taking a hot bath, playing soccer, reading, etc.]
3. I refuse to cook from a box & am a stickler for eating healthy.  Mac-n-cheese, pizza, tortillas, all of it, homemade. [Oh, forgot to mention...I use LARD.  Oh my God, did I say that?  Yummm...pork fat good!]
4. I teach my kids to be thankful children and appreciate everything they are so lucky to get.  [So, in our house, "you must sell something to get something".  Really, this is just a way for me to make sure the house doesn't get over cluttered]
5. I make sure my kids have appropriate shoes for school, especially for PE days. I try to make sure they’re cool too, just because I “know how it is”. So cool though, I buy the same pair so that I’m cool too. [but then...I rush my kid out the door to get to school on time and put one of my shoes on her and don't listen when she says it's too loose]
