Funny things from yester-year
While sitting at a traffic light the other day, I remembered a silly thought I once had:I thought that there was a little (and I do mean little) man living inside of the traffic light making the colors change.
Which lead me to another funny memory:
Living in Texas, you are always warned about tornadoes. And, you are told to listen for a train so you know if there is a tornado coming.
Know what I was always listening for?
A train whistle. You know..."choo choo!"
Yeah, I had a while imagination.
What's something funny you thought in your childhood that you now know to be true.
Lauren Nicole Gifts Necklace Review and Giveaway**
I recently worked with Denise of Lauren Nicole Gifts on her blog. She was such a pleasure to work with.
After gushing about all of her monogrammed goodness, like bibs, sippy cups and necklaces
The quality of the necklace is amazing and it is fine silver, which is even more pure than sterling silver. And, it's handmade by Denise here in the good old USA! And, it came in it's own little adorable tin.
I couldn't be happier with it.
You'll love it, too!
Denise has generously offered one Really, Are You Serious? reader a fine silver name bar necklace with two names and your choice of color for the beads.

The family that dresses like cows together
After I got dressed, Isabelle was ready to "be a cow." She said "mommy, I'm a little cow...
Isabelle was actually terrified of the cow that was there. There is a trend: Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and the Chick-Fil-A cow are all terrifying. We kept having to wave him off.
Can you see the terror?
And, yes, there was a family cow picture, but alas, my eyes are once again closed. I'm going to start putting toothpicks in my eyes for picture time!
We really had a great time and it wasn't too crowded. And, of course, we aren't too proud to dress as cows for some free chicken.
Jumpstart Review and Giveaway**
She enjoyed finding letters and strolling around the magical lands. She also got to create her own Jumpeez. As she goes on into the game, she will unlock more accessories for her.
Mr. Serious also enjoyed the bonding time and watching her eyes light up during the game (or maybe it's his eyes lighting up)!
JumpStart.com has generously offered on Really, Are You Serious? reader a 3-month subscription.

Have you noticed?
Have you noticed some of the fun reviews and even giveaways I have coming up?Y'all know I like to share a good find when I find it and pass it along to you.
I've got a spot there on the right to alert you of all of the new things coming up, as well as a link to the current ones. Very shortly, you will see one for Jumpstart!
I'm excited about one I have coming up for CSN stores. They have everything...it is your one stop shop. From high chairs, to car seats, to bedroom furniture and futons. I'm going to be telling you very soon about a purse...I can't wait. Momma definitely needs a new purse! I can't wait.
Say what?
After what I would like to call a stressful day of no listening, misbehaving and no napping (for the second day in a row), Isabelle and I "had a little talk."After our talk, we worked on repeating what she was going to do in order to make sure it sunk in:
Me: "Repeat after me: 'I am going to be a good girl.'"
Izzy: "I am going to be a good girl."
Me: "I will listen to mommy and daddy."
Izzy: "I will listen to mommy and daddy."
And a couple more...then
Me: "I will do what mommy and daddy tell me to do."
Izzy: "I will tell mommy and daddy what to do."
Hmmmm....not quite what I was hoping for.
And, if you doubt her sassiness..take a look!
