So many of you want to know where the moosh’s name came from.
Her real name is a dozen letters long. the moosh is shorter.
THE END.
I kid.
It started out as Smooshie. Because she was. Then it became Smoosh. Because she grew bigger. Then she grew bigger. It became Moosh. Then she developed an attitude. It became the moosh. All lowercase, third person. It was that much of an attitude.
In case you’re thinking it’s a blog pen name, it’s not, it’s what we really call her a good majority of the time. (When I’m not calling her an it, that is.)
Yeah, I was afraid of that.
WELL THEN LET’S DO ROUND TWO OF MOOSH THREADS!
Prepare for heart palpitations and fallopian twitches!
My moosh threads rule?
Everything HAS to go with everything else (or at least a great majority of it).
Browns and pinks rule my world.
Easy as that.

And this just proves even further that I KNOW we will go bankrupt if I have a girl. I mean, I have 2 nieces and I buy them clothes, I know that if I had a little girl she would get hand-me-downs, but PLEASE! OMG Those clothes are FABULOUS!
And of course that beautiful smile and those curls! She could seriously be a model, you know that right?! I can’t get my kid to LOOK at the camera anymore, let alone SMILE! geesh!

I’m a big fan of stripes at the moment- if I could get away with wearing stripey tights I would!! Love that you call moosh that in real life. Squidge is what we really call uuum Squidge too. Although sometimes it’s Boo (you know from Squidgyboo). Sometimes it’s creature but more times than not it’s Squidge. I’m surprised whenever she answers to her actual name!!!

Enjoy this while you can. I think my two daughters started having opinions on their clothes around 3. Then it was a fight to get them to wear anything other than a favorite shirt they would glom on to.

Moosh really should look into a modeling career. You too.

First of all, love the new banner. Smashing! I want kicky boots!
Second of all, the day I discovered that the moosh threads origins were detailed on your flickr album was a good day. My imaginary never-going-to-happen future daughter thanks you.
And I love the origins of the moosh. Reason #1: that’s pretty much how Pants got his name, and we do call him Pants. Reason #2: I was called “the megan” when I was a toddler.

Also, her name is THAT long? Wow. Now I’m curious what it is. I can’t think of a really long girl’s name. Although my son’s name is 10 letters long, plus a 7 letter middle name, and a 7 letter last name…poor kid.
I love where you got the nickname though. I love cute kiddo nicknames like that.

My fiance and I were talking about the Mormon Sealing and the idea that mariage is for all eterntiy vs. until death. I was wondering, though, if marriage is for all eternity, is a widow/er allowed to remarry? What about divorce?
Strange questions, I know, but you’re the only Mormon I “know.” 🙂
