Living the dream.

The true test of your character isn’t how you treat your best friends and what they would say about you.

It’s about how you treat the people you don’t really know.

[Maria Albright @riaroseAlbright]

We all have flaws.

My fatal flaw?

Getting taken advantage of and not letting them get away with it.

Wait, or is that a strength?

[Maria Albright @riaroseAlbright]

That approval or affirmation you think you need from other people?

Raise your chin and take a deep breath. Then exhale and say, “I am proud of myself. That is enough.”

Release them and yourself. Your words have power. Speak positivity over yourself and watch your life change.

Still thinking about the dentist appt yesterday when I heard her ask “how’s the baby?” and I said, “oh, he’s gotten SOOO big!” and then she shared her own struggles w/weight and I realized I misheard and she really asked “how’s (the girls’) daddy?” And now I need a new dentist.

Kids kept telling Alexa to play obnoxious music so I switched the command to play smooth jazz when they asked. I’m looking forward to adding that skill to my resume.

My kids say they’re making piña colada’s when they cut their juice boxes and put them in cups. I’m too excited about the awkward interactions in their futures to correct them.

I equate Bachelor relationships to camp relationships.

OH: "if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it".

Power out bonus: I definitely won't have to cook dinner.

[Maria Albright @riaroseAlbright]

All I want to do today is drink coffee and watch shows. But we have no power so I'll settle for drinking water and watching the clock 😑

My special talent? Ironing wrinkles INTO clothes. So good at it.

You know the most about parenting before you have kids.

[Maria Albright @riaroseAlbright]

Just caught myself saying to my 2 year old, "don't cry, shopgirl".

Jimmy Fallon is my friend's dad!!? @jimmyfallon @FallonTonight

[Maria Albright @riaroseAlbright]

If your kid doesn't throw up all over herself and your coat before a flight, then you're probably having an abnormally great day.

[Maria Albright @riaroseAlbright]

Seriously about to go get myself some #TheTonightDough ice cream. YUM

When the two littles actually nap at the same time, the clouds part, the heavens open, and I hear singing. Angelic singing. Also coffee.

[Maria Albright @riaroseAlbright]

Guys. My valentines afternoon was spent watching the bachelor and criminal minds, drinking coffee, and eating yesterdays donuts.

Ahh love.
