Lessons Learned in 2010

A New Year, a new decade and plenty of chaos fun times here at the H.I.T. household. Here are just a few of the lessons learned thus far:

1. It’s OK to eat alone. Someone will always chat you up*, and if not, that’s why we have Kindles.

2. Motion sickness bags have a variety of uses - most importantly, writing down new blogs to check out.

3. Maternal instincts kick in as early as 23 weeks. Let’s just say if my baby is currently the size of a piece of paper, this lioness mom takes paperweights very seriously.

4. After a weeklong vacation, expect to have no less than three problems awaiting you at home. And yes, the wind can blow a mailbox straight into your neighbor’s yard.

5. Elf on a shelf is a load of bull dinky. I was fully expecting him to work his magic and take down all those pesky beautiful Christmas decorations while we were away. No such luck.

*Note: I met the most fabulous person during lunch with Husby (we chatted her up since she was solo). Turns out she is working on a cookbook! Don’t worry ladies, I’ll be reaching out to her shortly. She promised a recipe for crack almond brittle that was addictive to-die-for.
