I spent this past weekend with my family and while I intended to write a blog about networking, it never happened. Instead, as the weekend progressed, I thought a lot about the funny things my family says that have turned into our own personal catch phrases. I thought I’d share some of our family favorites with you today.

Mom: “I’m a little chilly.” (usually said when everyone else is sweating bullets)

Dad: “What?” (whenever anyone tells a joke related to being hard of hearing, which he is)

Lately I get calls almost daily asking me to rep a line. Most often, my answer is “No Thanks,” followed by a genuine “Good Luck!” This response leaves a lot of frustrated designer/manufacturers out there who often hang up the phone maybe feeling a little bitter at yet another refusal.

How can such a little body -I’m talking 30″ long - burp up so much…stuff? It’s a mystery for many, but thanks to the award-winning Clean Burper burp cloth, it’s no longer a problem. This over-sized and extra absorbent burp cloth was designed with baby’s comfort and mom’s clothes in mind.

Grocery shopping can be a bore, but it doesn’t have to be anymore if mom brings along My Traveling ABCs to entertain baby in the store!

Each of these adorable letters has rich fabric textures, fun facial expressions and exciting vibrant colors, so babies love them! The colorful tote comes complete with 26 individually designed alphabet letters, 26 brightly colored straps, and an original board book. SRP $29.99 Distributed by Clean Shopper/Babe Ease, LLC.
