Well a few years ago my sweet Mom got me this cute book called: The Complete Mom's Little Instruction Book (Wit and Wisdom for Mothers) by: Annie Pigeon. It its so fun to read a few entries and then apply them to the way I see Motherhood. I thought I would take this entry and share a few with all of you! If you would like to borrow it just let me know!
Cut off the crusts.
Make real cocoa
Hang their drawings on the fridge
Buy them cool lunch boxes
Celebrate Velcro!
Yes, they do need all 64 Crayolas
Okay we all now these right? but how about:
If you don't know, say so
All mother are working mothers
Ultimatums don't work
Bribes work
Be consistent
Think quick
Improvise
Sympathize
Remember: It's just a phase
"Wait tell your father gets home" is just a cop-out
Always look before sitting
Okay you re still thinking "duh" right? Well how about:
Potty training builds character (yours)
Sibling rivalry builds character (theirs)
Stretch marks are a badge of honor
Half your brain leaves with the placenta
The older they get, the wiser you'll seem
An unmade bed is easier to get into
Disney... is not an option
Sail paper airplanes
Hunt for four leaf clovers
Don't panic
Guilt is an art form
It's your duty to brag
Ask them for advice once in a while
Don'thold up other people's children as role models
Sometimes you'll have to tell little white lies
Let them know you'll always be there
Well I could go on forever! This cute book has lots of fun wisdom! 365 little wits in there that I just love.
Please leave me some of your wisdom.

Those are great! Unfortunately I'm guilty of the "Wait until you father gets home" way too much. ;)
My mom always said, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." I don't really believe in that either. Sometimes a little white lie is better than losing a friendship. And too much honesty does not a good friend make. It's all about having some tact and picking your battles. If it's MAJOR, honesty is always best, if it's a little thing, don't go there, I say. There's my wisdom for the day.
I have to say that I agree with this one
It's your duty to brag
and I think this is a pretty good idea.
Ask them for advice once in a while
