They Said What?

Disclaimer: This Rookie Mom is NOT political and does not welcome Politics at her dinner table, but she does enjoy a good laugh and roll of the eyes at our Politician’s expense.

Over the past [way too many to mention] months our media has been [excessively] covering the Political debates. From Obama to Hillary to McCain, they have all managed to make themselves a household name with their kid like debates and constant message of “Change.”

Though I managed to limit my debate watching hours to less than one hour…okay maybe half an hour. I always find it amusing when I hear Politicians say the darndest things. The sayings that stop you dead in your tracks and make you ask yourself...Did they really say that?

Thanks to the Washington Post they have compiled a top 10 list of the darndest things Politicians have said:

10. "I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day." Ray Nagin (2006)

9. “When I was in England I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it and didn't inhale and never tried it again.” Bill Clinton (1992)

8. "Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know." Donald Rumsfeld (2002)

7. "I think with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, you can't play, you know, hide the salami, or whatever it's called." Howard Dean (2005)


6. "I'm a fairly wide guy.” Larry Craig (2007)

5.“Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." George W. Bush (2004)

4.“To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: Don't be economic girlie men.” Arnold Schwarzenegger (2004)


3.“I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.” John Kerry (2004)

2.“I have a record in office, as well. And all Americans have seen that record. September the 4th, 2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It's a day I will never forget.” George W. Bush (2004)

1. "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Al Gore (1999)

Every Mom is A Haute Mom

If you are battling those lingering baby weight lbs, like this Rookie Mom and need a little extra boost in your day...just do what I did this morning and pull out your Haute Mom tee!

My girlfriend and life long sister has created the best tee for all Rookie and Veteran Moms...The Haute Tee collection.

She couldn't have said it any better...

Busy moms live in their designer jeans and "haute-tee" shirts. That's why you will love these super sassy and stylish tees that allow you to express yourself in a whole new way! The fit is comfortable and luxurious, and most importantly soft to the touch. The exclusive designer fabric is hip enough to go with jeans, but cozy enough to wear with sweats. No detail is overlooked in the flirty, fun graphics; "haute-tees" are put on the earth to celebrate mothers, being a haute mom! Sizes: 1 - Small, 2 - Medium, 3 - Large, 4 - Extra Large.

Check out her other fabulous items at her on-line shop Princess and Frogs. These items are great for any new babies arrival or for that super Haute Mom.



Happy Shopping!

Relief in A Bottle

Our little Cookie is teething like a mad woman and we have tried everything from orajel to every teething ring out on the market. Just when we thought her days of sleeping through the night were over we found the perfect solution...



These little tablets are Relief in a Bottle! Two little tabs and a big TX size bottle and Cookie was off to dreamland. I would highly recommend these tablets to any Rookie Mom that is looking for the solution to relieve their little ones from the agonizing pain of Teething!

Isn't it Ironic that their little mouths have to go through so much pain just to loose the darn things. Oh well, it opens the door to a visit from the Tooth Fairy!

When I grow Up...

Maybe I will be a Chef...



Or maybe a Mechanic...Can you pass me the wrench?



Whatever you decide Cookie...you will always be a success to Daddy and I.

XOXOX

Really Was That Necessary?!?

Dad was that really necessary?!? I don't think they have taught us that yet at swim lessons...but can you do it again.
