Freaking Fantastic!!

On a regular bases my husband Brad often says channing, you need a hobby (like scrap booking or crafting of some sort.) although what he does not know is that every day I work very hard at my hobby! Being a freaking fantastic mom is my hobby! Or as my friend Erin would say being the next June Cleaver except I am more modernized. I do have a full time job that I absolutely love which when I am working and not on maternity leave a lot of my time is spent on my next "work goal." I try an set a goal to achieve such as a promotion or take on an extra task at work. Much like my work goals I set Super-Mom goals. 

I am a firm believer that you are either at good mom or a freaking fantastic mom. I do not believe in a bad mom; I believe in a biological baking oven that does not give someone the right to be called mom. In my book, a freaking fantastic mom goes that one extra mile (or maybe a couple of miles). Someone who bakes cookies or cupcakes with their child for their birthday or school party rather than going to the grocery and buying them. Your child isn't going to care if they don't taste as good as wal mart or kroger's cupcakes, it's the simple fact that they made them (helped you)! You are making memories people not buying them!!! "Oh yeah, do you remember that one time we went to Kroger and you bought me cupcakes for my class?" WTH who is going to remember that! Making cupcakes and cookies or anything at matter is going to be great no matter how bad or good they taste or look. The most important thing anyone can ever give someone else or their child is their time. Time is one thing we all have in common; we don't have much of it but it is one of the greatest gifts you can give another. 

Just a reminder, these are all MY opinions. All my statements start with I believe or I think and ect. These are not proven facts; these are just some thoughts. I don't want to offend anyone. :o) 

Dedication

I would first like to dedicate this blog to my sweet little Wise Family that gives me my inspiration and wonderful memories. I would also like to dedicate this to my best friend Whitney; to you my great friend here is my Wise-dom (HA!) and mistakes. For my first official blog I will give a little introduction about myself and my amazing Wise family. My husband Brad is the man that stole my heart with his sarcasm, hilarious-asshole personality, he is my serious sportsman, and at the end of the day the man who is there for me and our children with love. Canon is our three year old little Brad made over but with more love in his whole body then most people have in their pinkie finger. Claire Bear is our two month old miracle baby and every day we grow to love her more as she shows us the little person she is growing into. Enough about the family and on to the first topic. Don't go cheap! (Whit here's your first item to remember on your way to becoming the future Mrs. Kogut.) I certainly don't mean spend all your money on ONLY name brand. Don't get me wrong I love the next deal I can get but there are certain things on my list that people should never go cheap on. Top Five Items: 1.) Toilet Paper-- Why on earth would anyone ever want to wipe their butt with sandpaper or cardboard just to save a few pennies is beyond on me. I protest SAVE THE TUSHIE!!! 2.) Water Hose-- This is for you B-rad!! If you buy a cheap water hose is all I have to say is you get what you pay for... a leaky mess!! 3.) Trash Bags-- There is nothing more frustrating than pulling up on those plastic strings then to have all that trash fall out of the bottom of the bag... Oh you were just saving it for floor; Once again, you get what you paid for. 4.) Tin Foil-- Thin and easy to rip.... enough said. 5.) Campbell's Soup ( example: Cream of Chicken, Cream of Mushroo'm, and ect.)-- I know if saves you a few pennies on the great value but people if you have ever really tired the difference by setting them side by side and do the real finger taste test youl too will then know... DON'T GO CHEAP!!!
