Had “Some Things Never Change” from Frozen II stuck in my head this morning because we listened to it in the car yesterday. Was singing it and Amelia joined in. A little bit later I heard her sing “some things never change, like a TOOTY BOOTY!” 🤣🤣

This is the second year in a row that our mortgage payment has gone up by $200 at the first of the year, so if you need me, I’ll be building a shack to go live in the woods 🫠✌🏻

Lily is running on nothing but 6 goldfish and pure adrenaline, & it is TERRIFYING. She fell off the top of the couch onto an end table & then onto the floor- not a scratch on her- & she is STILL climbing on everything in sight. There is not enough coffee in the house for this 😅

🧵 Mental load + invisible labor, a gender reversal:

My dad always got the oil changed in my cars from the time I could drive until I graduated college. I never thought about it. Had no idea how often it even happened, what it cost, etc. /1

Missing my Okie friends a little extra this week so catch me using my Oklahoma mug for my coffee for the next few days 💚

I just turned in the registration forms for Amelia to start preschool in the fall, and I simply cannot believe she’s old enough for that 🥹

Oof. We watched all of Shiny Happy People tonight. So many feelings, so few words to wrap them up in. Let this gif scratch the surface of my feelings for tonight.

E was able to borrow a coworker’s car on his lunch break to go buy a battery and switch it out. And the shop called this afternoon so we’re FINALLY getting to pick Ethan’s car up now. Been a rollercoaster of a day

[becca @beccalynward]

E’s car has been in the shop for just over 2 weeks for an AC issue, so we’ve been relying fully on my car. This morning we all got ready to take E to work + go to the playground, aaand my car wouldn’t start. Dead battery. It’s gettin real hard to roll with the punches over here🙃

Mission success

Will I be stalking our local Walmart until I am able to get my hands on a bottle of Cfa’s creamy salsa dressing? Yes.

Do I feel any shame about that? Nope.

The only hindrance to this plan? Having to take two toddlers in there with me multiple times this week lol

[becca @beccalynward]

Went to get the kids out of their room this morning. Lily had unzipped her sleep sack and taken it off (a daily occurrence), unzipped her jammies (a fairly new skill), aaaaaand undone her diaper and peed on the bed. 🤦🏼‍♀️🙃 happy Tuesday y’all

Some of Amelia’s latest toddler phrases:

“Grow nuts” = grown ups
“Cheese max” = mac&cheese
“Mama’s yarny things” = refers to both crocheted items themselves AND the tools I use to crochet
“A-melon” = Amen
“Churkey” = turkey

Honestly the only upside is that I get to go to Target now to replace the poor bath toys

[becca @beccalynward]

Don’t let anyone tell you motherhood isn’t glamorous. I just scrubbed poop out of the kids’ bathtub for the 3rd time in 6 days, but I wore my favorite hoop earrings today so at least I looked ✨fancy✨ while dealing with it. 🤷🏼‍♀️🥴

[becca @beccalynward]

I sighed and Amelia asked why. I said I was just tired. She got real serious and said “ugh. Then you shoulda tooked a nap.” 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Love getting high pollen alerts from the weather channel. Like bro, I can’t stop sneezing, Lily looks like a snot faucet, and she’s started the concert of a lifetime where she repeatedly sneezes and farts simultaneously. I knew the pollen was high long before the alert 😂
