Oh Facebook, how we love thee! And we’re feeling the love too! We reached 2,000 followers on our Facebook Page this week! We have a blast over there with funny memes, recipes, shared parenting tips, and good advice. What’s not to love?
Well, there is this little issue with Facebook’s dark side. It doesn’t always show all of our followers all of the awesomeness all of the time. But we have a solution! Each week we’re going to share a little check-in on what’s been happening on our Facebook Page—what we talked about, wrote about, laughed about, etc.. In short, a follow-up!
And Then What Happened:
We have some very cool conversations popping up on our Facebook page, but they’re hard to keep track of because life happens. Blame the kids, blame the dog, just blame it on the rain (Shout out to Milli Vanilli), but we all get interrupted. We are The Sensible Moms so we thought providing you all with a little update on how the conversations developed would make everyone’s life easier. You know, just in case, you got sidetracked.
Oh, we were excited about all of the great suggestions because who doesn’t get pumped up about scrubbing out the toilet? So many ideas to chose from!
A couple of people suggested pouring a 2 Liter bottle of Coke in the bowl. Since I actually had a 2 liter of Coke on hand left over from a holiday party and I always choose the easy route, that’s just what I did.
I poured it in before I went to bed, woke up in the morning, flushed it down, and then scrubbed the bowl. Gorgeous! Thank, readers! Erin
PS: We included the last comment in the screen shot, because it was our favorite comment on the post and we actually know her IRL. Funny, funny Momma.
Recipes we shared this week:
Erin’s family loves this Some Kind of Awesome Creamy Chicken Salsa Soup and your family will love it too. Ellen sure appreciated it when our friend Mary made it for her when she was recuperating from her appendectomy.
Ecard People LOVED:
It is a little ridiculous how much this got shared, but sometimes you just hit people’s funny bones the right way.
Posts To Catch Up On:
Celebrate this, Sisterhood Style!
This is the one where we make a case for a new February holiday on the 9th. There are unicorns and rainbows, demographics that are seriously neglected in all of the other holidays.
Ain’t Nobody Got Time for Valentine’s Day Pintershit
Taking a cue from Sweet Brown, this the one where we tell you all the gifts we definitely don’t have time for this Valentine’s Day. Some of them will surprise you.
Ode to Sour Patch Kids
Here we play with other bloggy friends Old Dog New Tits and According to Mags in their Ketchup With Us Link-up by writing a 57 word ode to something we love. In this case, Erin bears her heart and soul about . . .Sour Patch Kids.
Funny Meme:
How else to wrap-up this follow-up then to tell you to get on over to our Facebook Page and see what’s going on right now!
What a great idea, ladies!

OOh. Try it. It’s easy. If it doesn’t, go look at all the other ideas on our FB page. Erin
Great idea! FB definitely sucks the fun out of being funny these days! 😉 P.S. Would root beer also work for the brown stain in the toilet? Have some I need to get rid of!

Give it a try and let us know. Nothing to lose. Erin
This is a great idea. I’m so tired of my Facebook page – trying to get likes and be awesome all the time. 😛 Then no one even sees it!

It was Ellen’s, but I loved it right away. Smart is smart. Erin
Facebook is so frustrating because of all their “seeing/not seeing” crap. The problem is I love my blog’s FB page and the hilarious people who interact. I feel so deprived!
However, I see all your stuff and laugh every day, so thank you for that!

Thanks, Abby! We kinda love the community developing on our page too! And right back atcha! Erin
Brilliant idea, ladies! It is frustrating. I’ve been trying to hit the “like” button on more page posts (like yours), to increase their visibility.
