Gingersnaps and Snickerdoodles

Voila! 

 New "acceptable" blog name,

"Gingersnaps and Snickerdoodles: Missives of a Redheaded Momma."

 Doesn't have quite the flair of remembrance as "Hooker Shoes and Sticky Fingers," but I shall take it and make it mine just the same. Granted, Miss A is adamantly trying to take over as I try to type this so we will have to see who wins. She seems to be going through the must-be-touching-mommy-at-all-times phase of turning one. Hello Separation Anxiety!

Blog Name Change In the Works

With all the time I spent coming up with a fun and catchy blog name, I'm sad to announce that I will be changing the name shortly. Hooker Shoes and Sticky Fingers is a quirky mention to being a wife and a mom, sadly, it is being looked upon in a negative fashion from some of those who have viewed my blog. 

Oh, and all those creepy people checking this blog out from search engines. You wouldn't believe some of the key words that have sent traffic this way! 

Don't despair (I kid), I am fervently traipsing through my wit in search of another awesomely fantastic title. Loves and hugs 

*muah*

Book Review: I'm a Dog, You're a Cat

First, I want to say thank you to MPressive Results Inc and NetGallery for giving me the opportunity to review the ebook version of "I'm a Dog, You're a Cat: Love Lessons from Our Furry Friends."

Second, while I've provided small reviews on Goodreads, this is my first book review on my blog so be a mite but understanding. I promise to improve as I continue to provide reviews here!

That being said, what a fun read this book was! Cattitude vs Dogsense really hit home relating to personal interactions in my life.

I am a cat, hands down. While I may have some excitable moments and enjoy interaction with others, it needs to be on my terms. Hubby is a such a dog. He wants attention and love all the time, which, truth be told, I had found annoying before reading this book. Sitting in my bathtub last night reading about dogese (language and communication style of dog-people), I realized that all it takes is a little extra effort on my part to satisfy what he needs from me. Compliments, compliments, compliments!

At only 52 pages (including pictures!), I'm a Dog, You're a Cat, was a cute and quick read. Pretty sure I'm going to have Hubby read it so that he can understand my catness better. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who wants a fun, simple approach on human interactions. The lessons learned can be applied to more than just your spouse or partner, they can be applied to children, neighbors, friends, and coworkers.

You can find my further review on Goodreads. Over and out from this cool cat!

Funny of the Day

I've been procrastinating creating a new post because I want it to be perfect. If I can't make it perfect then I should wait until I have time to do so. As you can see, that method is not very effective so I'm trying a new approach. If I think about posting it then I have to do so. Even if it's not all unicorns and rainbows!

With that being said, a quick funny for today is in order. Preceded by a small backstory of course. 

Dear Hubby called me on his lunch break while Baby A and I were grocery shopping. (Although now Baby A is Miss A! She crossed that 12 month threshold almost a month ago... eep!) Miss A's favorite thing to do is scream, "HI!" into the phone. Repeatedly. Used to be cute, not so much now a month later. 

Not long after, he posts this following picture to my Facebook page. Ignore the incorrect spelling, he was sharing the post off another page. 

Feeling very self satisfied, I posted the following in response:

I love flirting with my husband. I also have a feeling that I will be abusing this ecard thing now that I've created an account. 

More fun to come!
