I\'m Summer, a mouthy, sarcastic bitch. I\'m passionate about natural birth, long term breastfeeding, and living naturally. I curse too much, love tattoos, and will some day be crushed to death by my book collection. I homeschool, dream of gardening, and swing to the left.

Expensive make-up is destined to land in the used toilet.
A baby will hold his poop until the doorbell is ringing.
A toddler will hold his poop until nap time.
As soon as you close your eyes destruction will occur.
As sounds you make will be repeated the next day, loudly, and in front of the elderly neighbors.

I love the 5 things you’ve said recently. LOL! Now tell me: are these things that you had imagined saying EVER, before you became a mom?
I just loaned out my copy of ‘Real Boys’. It was a wonderful read. I got a lot out of it. Being a mother to boys has really helped heal a lot of male-related wounds in my past. I get to see what can shape boys to become the men we want (or don’t want) them to be. I feel a responsibility to womankind, bringing three men into the world. It will be a big accomplishment if they make their future parterns as happy as my husband makes me
PS: If you win the lottery, could you please send a jet up my way and we can have some mommy time together?
Thanks.
