You Know You're a Mom of Girls When...

  • you spend more time browsing cute hair accessories on etsy.com than you do checking your e-mail.
  • you respond to the butcher's meat packaging as, "Oh, how cute... it's wrapped in white paper."
  • you feel the need to buy stock in the Disney Princess line.
  • you've discovered that there are a thousand shades of pink.
  • you regularly hold tea parties at home.
  • you often think about all of the cute dresses/pinafore tops you could make if you owned a sewing machine.
  • you know the difference between a tutu and petticoat.
  • you know fabric lines by name. (Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry, and Michael Miller are my faves!)
  • you randomly buy cute ribbon just because it's... well, cute!
  • you sometimes look like a throwback to the 80's because your girls' favorite make-up colors are blue and purple.
  • you don't blame Daddy for wanting to get out of the house with so much estrogen in one place.
  • you accidentally refer to a friend's little boy as 'sister.'
  • you're cleaning out your purse and find 4 bows and 3 mini hairbrushes.
  • you're cleaning out the car and find 4 purses and baby shoes you forgot you had.
  • your husband is wearing a 'Hello Kitty' band-aid.
  • you feel like your life has been enriched with a deeper appreciation of all of the beautiful, whimsical, fashionable, sweet, loving, sensitive, compassionate, emotional, magical, and well- GIRLY things that a little girl brings. Hmmm... I'll take 2 please! :)
