Once again, here are just a few of my faves from last week on the Mommalogues.
Being that both Jimmy and I have tattoos (and I have my nose pierced), we certainly have no room to tell our kids that they aren’t allowed. I mean, we absolutely can while they live under our roof, but once they leave the nest….they’re on their own. They do know, because we’ve had those conversations already, that I have strict guidelines on the whole issue. Here’s the top 3 rules I believe they, and myself, need to take into consideration before making anything permanent.
If you know me at all, read my blog, or have even heard me breathe….you know all about my fitness routine. I have, mmmm, maybe what you’d call a slight obsession. I don’t necessarily love to workout, but my mood absolutely needs that lift several times a week. Luckily, I found the sweetest and most amazing trainer in the whole world that definitely keeps me on the ball and never bored. Now if only I could find someone to come and cook all my meals, I would totally be able to look like her too.
The other night we found Taylor in his bed crying. When we asked what was wrong, he sobbed, “I really want to study to be an engineer in college, but basketball is getting in the way!” Um?!? Really?!? He’s 6. (and he doesn’t play basketball…yet) So, I would guess with that scenario he most definitely has plans to go to college. Here’s how Jimmy and I view the whole issue on college.

Without a doubt my kid is on the road to college – just sent off the third and fourth applications yesterday!
I have told him from the time he was small that he was going – no ifs, ands or buts. He can follow his dreams; but he will have an education while doing so.
This wasn’t an opportunity that was afforded to me, so no matter what it takes he is going.
I can totally relate to the need to work out…my mood definitely depends on it! I am a much happier woman.
Absolutely, I want my daughter to go to college! I would never want her to rely on a man however, if she goes to college and marries a wonderful man that can support her and she chooses not to utilize her degree to become a SAHM, I’m okay with that also. I just want to make sure that if she ever HAD to go out in the real world and make money, she has the degree. Plus, she has high hopes of becoming a fashion designer so she can have a nice house and go on vacations, just like we do all the time :o)
i don’t have kids and doubt i ever will but if i did i’d be on the same page as you with the tattoos and college. i have a ta that i do not love. i got it at 18 and kinda regret it. this doesn’t mean i don’t like tats – on the contrary, i really like them, just not the one that i have if that makes sense.
also, love tracy anderson. LOVE.
I am totally with you. Tattoos are an adult decision. I have lots, hubs has none, and our kids are free to decide what they want to do…when they’re 18! Piercings aren’t such a big deal to me, though…if my kids wanted something pierced at around age 13 or up I’d probably say yes. Unless they want a piercing in the nether regions! lol… Maybe just the nose, bellybutton, eyebrow or something like that. Piercings aren’t permanent like tattoos are, so I consider them a safe place for kids to express themselves.
LOVE these videos, and I’m definitely trying the Tracy Anderson videos!
