One World One Heart comes to The Everyday Mommy

Please let me begin by welcoming the world to The Everyday Mommy. This blog hopes to be a fun stop on your magic flight around the world. This blog is primarily a mommy blog, my more creative blog, Bliss Habits, is on hiatus so I wasn't sure I would participate this year, but the momentum of this event is too powerful to resist!

For those of you who haven't heard of One World One Heart I urge you to run right over to Lisa Swifka's wonderful blog for all the details! OK, it would be nice if you entered my giveaway first!

So here is the deal for this marvelous event... stop by any of the I'm sure to be thousands of blogs and leave a comment to possibly win a fabulous prize! That is it! No gimmicks, nothing to join, nothing to sign up for, a simple comment and you are entered. Last year I won six or seven BEAUTIFUL one of a kind pieces of art, and more importantly made dozens of new bloggy friends. Even if you don't have time to run a giveaway on your own blog, do take a few minutes and stop by some of the participating blogs to be enchanted and welcomed with open arms! Find all the participating blogs here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

For those of you who have followed my blogs you may recall that I have been working on the transformation of my garage into a workable, warm and inviting crafting/creation spot for our family. Well, corresponding nicely with this event I might add, we have (mostly) finished this project!

Here is a photo of my girl already at work :

Now that we have the space...
we are ready to create something fabulous for you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now on to the giveaway!

We will be creating a one of a kind fairy friend and fairy door for your home! The exact fairy and door are yet to be determined as my girl and I will be making several over the next few weeks. Our winner will be invited to select their favorite! In addition to the fairy and fairy door of your choice our winner will also be awarded a a small solar printing kit for making their own treasures and $25.00 to spend in the ETSY shop of your choice!

A sample of your possible fairy treasures!

Remember, we will be creating more fairies and fairy doors and the winner will choose their favorite. Also, for every 100 entries I will add an additional prize of a $25 gift certificate* to the ETSY shop of your choice! (I love sponsoring artists so let's see how many of these prizes we can generate!)

So go ahead and enter below with a simple comment -- Please be sure to leave me your blog address and/or email so I can get in touch with you if you are a winner! One comment per person please! On February 17th I will announce and notify my winners! (* Will award up to a maximum of $150.00 ETSY shop dollars)

Your little one is hilarious. I have reading the scroll side bar, and I have been having a good laugh.
I have a three years old daughter and a one year old one, so yes, the stuff they can come up with is amazing, but they are also so challenging at times.

A big hug from Spain.

Isn’t this fun? I just love OWOH! Thank you for participating… please count me in for your terrific giveaway. If you get a chance, I hope you’ll visit me too (if you haven’t already).

Loved really the scroll of cute things your Sweets has said... I laughed especially loud at the one where she expected her Daddy to cut and glitter glue something for her while she was gone - too cute!

Stuff "The Girl" Says

"You're not a person! You're a mommy." (age 2)

On his way out the door daddy said, "Goodbye everybody!" The girl replied, "Goodbye onebody!" (age 2)

"I love you mommy. You are the best mommy I never had!" Age 3

Regarding being sick,"Will I never get better?" and "Help! I need a hanky." and "My nose just keeps running and running ALL day."Age 3

"Pick the one you want! -- No NOT that one" Age 3

I was handed a stuffed kitty. "I thought you would like her because she is getting older like you!" Age 3

"This shark is my FAVORITE guy" I thought Minnie was your favorite? "Oh mommy, you can have LOTS of favorites!" Age 3

"I had a dream about a lady bug. I was outside and he landed on me. Then he waved at me with one of his itty bitty feet and said goodbye. Then he flew away to see his other friends. That lady bug knows everybody just like me!" Age 3

While on vacation, Sweet's introduction to all her new friends (and EVERYONE was a new friend!) at the pool, "Hi my name is "Sweets." I am three. I can run very fast." Demonstration of running follows. Age 3

"Did you visit Hawaii even before I was a person?" Yes we did. "You guys go to Hawaii a lot!" Age 3

"Why don't we live in Hawaii?" The final pronouncement on the trip. Age 3

"Daddy could you try to sleep like a girl?" (no snoring LOL) Age 3

"Can I have a dark light" What's a dark light? "It makes dark not light. I need one when the sun is too bright." Age 3

"I wanted to be good today" Age 3

"Maybe next time we can be birds mommy. They can fly high and I would like to touch the sky. Even baby birds fly a little. I can't fly yet at all." Age 3

On the way out the door. "Daddy I am leaving you my red scissors and my pink ones, if you need to cut something. Maybe you can cut something for me. Will you need the glitter glue?" Age 3

"I want a three head not a four-head." Age 3

"Hey mom, does this look tricky or dangerous?" Age 3

When asked by her Dad if she was going to use the potty today The Girl said, "No Dad, that's NOT how I roll." (age 3)

"What we doing here?" Mommy is getting a flu shot. "NO!!! I don't want them to shoot mommy!" (age 2)

Heard from the bathtub "Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the Fishy and Sweets show!" ... songs followed! (age 2)

Do you want to go outside Sweets? "Not now, we'll see how the day goes." (age 2)

"I am being a good girl today. I only spilled a little bit." (Spill should be defined as tossing liberally around the room however) (age 2)

Big Crash heard in other room followed by, "Don't worry mommy I Just sneaked into the playdoh." (Age 2)

"Mommy are you teaching me to be a big girl?" Yes Sweets. "Good. I want to drive the truck." (Dad's F150 I guess! - age 2)

"This is terrible! I can only get one of these (fancy tutus) on!" (Age 3)

After working on making a Hippo with bendaroos (wax covered strings, fun for building) to little success, Sweets said, "I am making "fossai", they are a new animal and I can do it." (age 2)

"Mommy, you are my very veryest friend!" (age 2)

"Will I learn my superpowers at Bal-la-lay school? When I am bigger I need to fly up there! (pointing to the ceiling)" (age 2)

"Mommy teach me how to pirouette." I can't pirouette Sweets. "You can! You are a big person!" Not all big people can pirouette. You need to go to school to learn how. "I want to go to bal-la-lay school to learn how to pirouette. Let's go now! Can I wear a fancy dress?" (age 3)

"Mommy , in my dream you made me music and I danced. It was a piroette show!" (age 3)

"Bolivia is little. I'm little too. That's ok we're growing." (Age 3 - after watching Bolt)

OK guys let's travel to my room now!" Sarcastically Dad says, "Wow that is far!" The Girl replies, "I know it is but you can do it! Let's go!" (age 3)

"Don't go to work daddy. I need you very so much to stay home." (age 3)

"Mom are you three?" I'm much more then three. "How about six? Six is a pretty big number!" (Gosh I just couldn't tell her how really giant my number is! - age 3)

What did you have to eat today. "I can't tell you." Why? "It is a secret and you don't tell secrets until later." When is later? "Maybe some weekend." (age 3)

"Excused from the table please" After you eat some of that broccoli you asked for. "You run a tight ship here mommy." (age 3)

"Mommy, here is some fairy dust. (applies invisible dust with cotton ball) Now you can fly with us. Come on. It be so fun!" (age 3)

"Mommy I want some milk." Could you try the P word? "Panda??" Do you think Panda will help you get some milk? "Maybe, panda's are nice!" (age 3)

"Mom are we done cleaning? Can we dance now?" (age 3)

I want a doggie who only barks if something is wrong, like Nash (a friend's fabulous dog) but I want a kitty who Meows a lot. Can we get that?" (age 3)

"Good Morning mommy. What did you dream about? I dreamed about bumblebees. You were the mommy bee and I was your baby." (age 3)

"I have an idea. Maybe Humpty can come to our house. We have tape and glue and I can fix things just like Tinkerbell!" (age 3)

The Girl at Ellie's Birthday Party. "What are we waiting for? Where is the cake?" (Age 2)

After hearing a loud crash and some papers rustling about, The Girl emerges with a long unfolded paper. What is that? asks Dad. "It no big deal Dad. It just a pretzel map." Indeed it was a fold out menu from Annie's pretzels, found at the bottom of mom's bag, the contents of which were strewn across the hotel room! (Age 2)

The Girl on autographing her art work, "I draw my name with lines. When I bigger I will use letters and maybe numbers." (age 2)
