For real. I can't even remember the context, I just thought "WOW, I can't believe I actually said that sentence." Then I thought if I ever started a mom blog, I'd name it either "Don't Salt the Hippo" or "Rocks In My Dryer", and guess which one won? ;) One time I said, "Don't salt the hippo." For real.

You look adorable.
Take those earbuds out.

I love you.
