"Parenthood: That state of being better chaperoned than you were before marriage."

So let me tell you...

How much I love being thrown up on.

How much I love when my son burps right in my face.

&

How much I love getting baby poop smashed between my fingers.

How much I love being in public with a screaming baby.

How much I love doing 47 loads of laundry every 3 days.

How much I love being a "temporary single parent".

But the sad thing is...

If I didn't go through this kind of stuff everyday I would not know how to function.

I'm not going to know what to do when I have the help from Brayden's daddy.

Just because I am used to doing it all by myself.

But he is worth every second.

"Because kid, you are my world."

Today's D.I.Y project was...

Making our own frappuccinos.

When you buy a frappuccino from a coffee shop you can spend anywhere between $3-$6.

This can add up very quickly. This recipe will make (1) 24 oz. serving or (2) 12 oz. servings.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup of strong coffee (Cold)

1 cup of milk

5 tablespoons of chocolate syrup

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

2 1/2 cups of ice.

You will need:

A blender.

Directions:

Brew strong coffee.

Chill the coffee in the refrigerator until it is cold.

Combine cold coffee, milk, sugar, chocolate, vanilla extract, and almond extract in a blender and blend for 1 minute on low to dissolve sugar.

Add ice and blend on high until ice is crushed and drink is smooth.

Pour into glass and serve with straws.

If you like coffee, then you will like these. They are quick and easy to make.

Random Fact: I hate liars and being lied to.

"If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything."

I will never really understand why people always have to lie. No matter who it is. It is even worse when it is family that lies to you. Just goes to show that you cannot trust very many people.

When you lie, all trust is lost. Trust is not something that you can get back in a day. It takes a long time, and you just might not ever get it back, depending on the lie and how serious it is.

The worst thing is when people lie about things that wouldn't be that big of a deal if you would have just told the truth. Is lying about little, stupid things really worth losing someones trust? I don't think so. Some people say that it is ok to tell "white lies", well not in my book.

A lie is a lie no matter how big or small.

Little lies turn into big lies.

When someone gets away with a few lies, they feel like they can always tell lies and get away with them.

If you don't want to do something just say so, don't make up stupid stories that make no sense, lies that sound made up just to avoid doing those things.

So next time you decide to lie, just remember...

"No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar."
