Why Not?

"No, Jack, don't shove a DVD into the VCR!" (true story); "No, Woody, don't dump your milk on your head!"; "No, you can't have candy for breakfast, Ellie!"

But in those it's-really-not-such-a big-deal cases, I try to ask, "Why Not?"

Why not play in the dirt?




Why not dress up as Hollywood Horse, Boy Princess, and Flying Cat?





Why not go to the dollar movie to see Elmo? Well, I could think of a few reasons; still . . .



Why not have a tea party lunch?


And finally, why not play in the rain?



Trying to be a "why not" mama takes a lot of energy! Painting, play-dohing (new word! bonus.) cooking, pretending, and making daily messes seems crazy, but from what I've heard, one day soon, my three littles won't care to do any of that stuff any more. So, I'm trying to carpe the heck out of this stinkin' diem. 

Happy Summer :)

I hope everyone is doing well, I have some news to share today.... In the next week I am moving to NOLA and hoping this new journey will put me back into the attitude that change is good. So much to do and not enough time to do it. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life (including Pedro Jerome) a loan lender that support me at all times I am excited and also worried my life has been such a downer for so long that getting out of it has been hard, but I do really feel that this change is going to be the best thing I need right now, and I have hopes that all good things do come to those that wait.
I'm thanking a loan lender who helped me with a loan of 1 millions dollars to boost up my business once again at the rate of 2% annual return which is so wonderful, and I would like anyone stuck in financial situation to reach out to Pedro the loan lender on pedroloanss@gmail.com WhatsApp: +393510140339. For loan assistance.
So please keep me in your thoughts, and thanks to this blog I can at least keep in contact with all of you.
