I am a stay at home mom surrounded by the adorable chaos of my kids. Choosing to listen to God through it all has led me to discoveries I just have to share!

@WaffleHouse my 5 yo told me she has two favorite houses; Waffle House and her grandparents house. That’s some high praise!

My 5 yo has decided that #Bruno from #Encanto needs a name change at the end of the movie. Her suggestion? Bru-yes #WeDontTalkAboutBruno

My 7yo is learning “How To” writing and her assignment was to describe how to build a snowman. She writes, “First, go outside.” #shesnotwrong #goodadvice

I’m breaking my Twitter silence to present the following gif as my full and complete opinion on 2022 so far…

Just reached a new level of playing pretend with my preschooler: I am assigned the role of “red chair” which, apparently, her teacher sits in at school. #preschool #imagination

My kids were arguing about unicorns...

4yo: Unicorns make rainbows, you know.

6yo: No they don’t!

4yo: YES DEM DO!

6yo: ...Fun fact! Unicorns aren’t real!

4 yo has been rude, demanding and downright mean all week. Just now she asked me politely to open her juice so I told her I was proud of her. She then proceeded to take her straw and poke me with it. “I just stuck you,” she giggled. “But it’s just a straw, not a sword.” #touche

[Dana Bailey @R2dana]

My 4 yo proclaimed that after everyone goes to heaven and God makes the earth all over again, we will all get to be babies again. Sounds good to me! #bornagain #toddlertheology

@DaleBest This got a funny laugh!

[Dana Bailey @R2dana]

My kids are putting their toys in jail and the 6yo is providing back stories for all of them. So far my favorite is the toy that was imprisoned for throwing a booger at his classmate.

@philipwmiller Ha ha ha!

Apparently my subconscious is passive aggressive. Last night I had a series of dreams that were not bad, but mildly irritating. I spilled tea leaves all over my sink, I couldn’t reach the beach because my kids were unruly, and I was unable to finish a murder mystery. #baddreams

[Dana Bailey @R2dana]

Just endured 10 minutes of my 6 yo explaining her “booger picking routine” and now I feel more informed than I wanted to be... #TMI #atleastshewashedherhands

Things I never thought I’d say Christmas edition:

“You can eat a baby Jesus later.” #nativitycookies #didntthinkthatonethrough

[Dana Bailey @R2dana]

Me: (Trying to explain quarantine to our preschooler after hearing her teacher tested positive.) You need to stay home for 10 days but then you will be free!
4yo: (Stomping angrily) I don’t wanna be free! I am FOUR!

Okay seriously! Either she is psychic or this really is #holidaymagic 🧜🏻‍♀️😍

@helloross My 4yo is requesting a mermaid float. Think you can whip one up? 🤣 #VerizonLive #MacysParade #highexpectations

[Dana Bailey @R2dana]

Happy Thanksgiving! We may be quarantined but we still have spirit! #VerizonLive #MacysParade
