Who doesn’t like their crock pot? I am cooking dinner in mine right now and really excited to taste the new recipe I am trying. I posted about some crock pot recipe before and got several comments about always looking for new crock pot recipes. Well, have I got a blog for you!!

There is a woman who has committed to use her crock pot EVERY DAY in 2008! That’s more than liking your crock pot, for sure! I read about her on Rocks in my Dryer (the writer of which I have added to the mythical dinner table of “if I could have dinner with anyone” fame) and when I linked to the blog, appropriately titled “A Year of Crockpotting“, I got a bit giddy. Take a look yourself and let me know if you try anything!

I sing to Bubba all the time. Bubba loves to sing and seems to be more content to work WITH me if I sing his instructions or sing as we work TOGETHER.

Yesterday I was singing him through getting undressed for a bath. Do any other mom’s do this? It was more of a rap this time. . . “We’re taking off your clothes. . . your shirt’s hung on your nose. . . pull your jeans over your toes. . .we’re going to take a bath – hey-hey -we’re going to take a bath.” (I know, poetry) You wanna know what my 2.5 year old’s response was?? He said,
“Heeeeyyy Hooohhh! Heeeey Hoooohhh!” SERIOUSLY.

I swing between wondering where I went wrong and thinking I have the COOLEST 2.5 year old.

Here is a cool deal I found out about today. Enroll your child in the Imagination Library and they’ll receive a free book every month until their fifth birthday. This program is only available in certain areas–the sign-up form will tell you when you register if this is available in your area or not. It isn’t available where I live, but, for all my Birmingham friends, it IS where you are!!
