Learn Something Saturday

10 PM....better late then never huh?


I had started trying to get the post done when I woke up at 10. Let me just take a moment and say how great it is to be at my parents house with a million people here to wake with Phoenix on the weekend. Nice. Not to add, that he's been sleeping in until 10 during the week. And for someone who does not do mornings this is great!


But I digress.


I was up and ready to post this weeks Learn Something Saturday (still a working title) and I got sidetracked by hunting Etsy & Ebay for vintage finds. Then before I knew it,it was time to head to the park.

So this weeks learn something is just one of my momma tips to some other mommas.


I hate, hate, hate losing socks and I used to turn the "orphaned"sock into a rag and then it's twin would show up a day later. So for Phoenix's socks I've started keeping the orphaned sock in a small box in the closet that way when I do laundry or find a hidden sock in a kitchen cupboard I can match it up.

Maybe not the greatest tip, but its helpful. Huh?


Do you have any sock sanity tips?

Learn Something Saturday-On Tuesday

Saturday I had intentions of introducing a new feature tentatively titled Learn Something Saturday but with all of the headaches, tears, and drama I couldn't summon up the strength to get much of anything out.


But we aren't going to dwell on that. Luckily I was finally able to sleep last night and today's picked up a bit.


Anyhow what is Learn Something Saturday? Just as the title says, just a random fact or tip I picked up that week that I think may (or may not) be of interest to you.


So Saturday I wanted to tell you something I learned from our Zoo Trip.


If you stare a Gorilla directly in the eyes, they see this as a challenge and will want to attack. How do I know this? Because I made the bad mistaking of look directly into one of their eyes and it just stared back at me. The lady behind me pointed out this piece of info and I quickly shifted my eyes back to the baby gorilla. 

And second bit of info? Us human mommy's aren't the only ones who get saggy boobies after breastfeeding. 


And the third bit of info from the zoo I wanted to tell you was the correct spelling of Orangutans. I noticed on all of the signs in the Think Tank (The orangutan building) that the spelling was all typed out like this... Orang utans. With a space.


Interesting info huh? Who knows maybe you'll be on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and my random factoids (and a lot will be courtesy of my handsome hubby, because he is king of "useless" info) will be pretty darn helpful.


You can thank me by sending me a cut of your winnings.

Really, don't be scared. These facts we're just a perfect excuse to post our zoo trips. Most of the things I'll say will hopefully be useful to you.
