Things they never tell you about being a mom.

I am finding that there are a lot of things that they never tell you about being a mom. Like that you would cheer on your child when he finally left a present in his diaper after several days without one.... That you would drive all the way home from town with your arm streched back over the seat cutting off your circulation to hold up your child's head as he slept so he didn't get a sore neck. . .

No one told me that after I had a child I would suddenly see germs everywhere on places that used to seem clean, that Clorox wipes would become a must have in my purse- oh yeah I forgot what purse- who can carry one with a 20lb kid, and the diaper bag!

And the biggest thing no one told me is how you manage to use the restroom while you are out shopping alone with your baby . . . . Leaving him in the car is obviously not an option, nor is laying him on the bathroom floor, and I am not enough of a juggler to hold at the same time (the thought alone makes me laugh). I considered handing him to the nice looking lady in Customer Service (Hey I'm a customer I need service!) but then all these kidnapping stories came to mind. . . . At this point I am starting to think I may never attempt to leave the house alone again or at least avoid drinking anything for several hours before I do.

I am a Child of God Bonus for Blog Readers

I know no post for TWO DAYS! I have been distracted with setting up my other two blogs. If you are looking for my Freebies I have a special download just for blog readers- - - - You won't be able to click on the link, you will have to cut and paste the address in.

NOTE: The password is PORTER. In a day or two my freebies will be back up and running on my site audraslittlescraps.blogspot.com. This will then turn into my family site . . . . . so I can ramble on even more about my little guy.

Also I almost forgot to tell you about my other new site. kidtestedmotherapproved.blogspot.com/ As my loyal blog readers will know we just got Porter a new carseat. . . There were so many options we didn't know what to think- Reviews on the store website's were so varied that it was hard to know what to buy. As I got thinking about it the opions that made the most influence were other mom's I knew. I would love for anyone and everyone who would like to, to share the products (kid/family) related that they love for me to add to my blog, and own personal favorites list. If you want to share send an e-mail to me at audrajjensen@msn.com .

Now for your bonus you have all been waiting for (LOL!) Round and rectangle "I am a Child of God" frames and a round tag. HAPPY SCRAPPING

Dont' forget you'll have to cut and paste or type in the download address:

I am a Child of God Elements Squares

There has been such great feedback on the Child of God papers that I made two elements to go with it, a pewter frame and square. If you didn't already snag it the background paper is available on my post from Wed. (Drop shadows are on the preview only).

Sorry about the seperate downloads, I am still saving up my pennies to upgrade my WINZIP so I can put multiple items in one download.

FYI In the next week or two I will be transfering my Freebies to my new

I am a Child of God pages Blue, Green

Thank you so much everyone for all your kind responses. There were alot of people who said they would like this page in girl colors- so many in fact that I think I will offer all the pages that I have done so far re-done in pink, purple, and peach when I am done posting this set.

I have another little project "in the works" that I will be needing some input on in the next week or two and in exchange for your help I will be offering pages customized with your child's name so if your interested keep watching for that!

Thanks again for all your kind comments. And just as a reminder of my terms of use 1) Personal Use only NO COMMERCIAL! If you use these in any posted layouts please give me credit 2) Comments Appreciated 3) Please share but send your friends directly to my site, rather than 4 shared so I can track how many people are interested.
