- You've got all the major sayings! I think of them as "guiltisms" but "Momisms" is probably a far better title. LOL ~ Hilarious and fun lens!

- There are so many fun momisms. I can still remember the first time I caught myself sharing one of these momisms with my children. I knew at that moment... my life was over. :-)
Thank you so much for your Squid Angel Blessing on my How I Overcome Writer's Block page.
