1 God, 1 Husband, 3 Boys. What else is there?

10 year old describing his Mother’s Day shopping: “I chose kindness over comedy.” I approve... although I do love a bit of comedy in gift giving.

@sindhuvfunny @DeborahFW @WoodstockSchool So did I! I went for a year in 96! Just another reason you are one of my very favorite guest hosts! That and the fact that you’re hilarious...

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

@sindhuvfunny hey! I heard on @DeborahFW podcast that you went to boarding school in UP! Did you go to @WoodstockSchool?

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

Seriously. Teach your boys to cook so they will be fully functional adults. BUT also, my 12 year old just cooked me breakfast. So really, win win.

The lady in front of me just ordered a tall decaf cappuccino. Day made.

I know my vacation has really started when I turn all my alarms off!!! See you next week- this week I’m on the beach.

There is a baby magpie screeching outside my window. It reminds me of having toddlers. Constant screaming. No reasoning with it. Only quiet when it’s eating or sleeping.

Are moms the only ones who use twitter as a substitute for adult conversation?

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

I am making a full batch of coffee and drinking both cups! #livingthegoodlife

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

Me: why am I so tired? I got some sleep...
Also me: you haven't had any coffee yet!
Me again: that's the kind of solution I like!

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

Somehow singing along with "Baby it's cold outside" doesn't change the fact that it is HOT outside and we are sweating like crazy!

When your kid starts the game with, "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 2 billion." #whichstrawbrokethecamelsback? #maybethisone

@JustinFarley @rcrsmith what are you trying to say? #darthvader #foreshadowing

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

5 yr old to big brother: you're not normal, you're creative, and kind, and courageous. Love that sweet encourager.

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

I don't care how cheap they are on the clearance rack. Buying the 5 yr old plastic cockroaches is a fatal error. #rookiemistake

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

Each boy tested a different cologne. Getting into the car feels like a flash forward to their teen years. Minus the stinky feet. #fragrant

[Ellie Smith @EllietheMom]

When thanked for doing things well before school, 10 yr old responds, "Did I actually do those things or are you being sarcastic?" #tweens

Guess who forgot to turn her alarm off for the holidays? This mom has been awake for over an hour and all the kids are still asleep!

"After all, he's not a tame lion. No, but he is good." The movies with the boys are great, but it's time to read the books again. #fornarnia
