You can learn a lot from Duck Dynasty

We are new fans of the hit show Duck Dynasty

and have been watching ALL the episodes.

Without further ado, here is my list of

 

“Everything you ever needed to know,
you can learn from Duck Dynasty”

 

Snippets from Uncle Si

Warm donuts are always best

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover

Know how to sew, you may never know when it comes in handy

Naps are great

Dating teenagers need chaperones

Know what you like and what is special to you

 

Wisdom from Phil

Pray before a meal

Always think your wife is hot and love her cooking

Learn the art of having your wife “think” you are listening

Listen to your mama

A teenage boy shouldn’t touch his girlfriend below the shoulders...
dating teenagers need chaperones

Nothing is impossible

You should know how to fish

 

Treasures from Miss Kay

Dogs are members of the family

Use your God given talent to bless others~especially your family and your church

Don’t be afraid to eat a piece of Boudin because you might gain an ounce

Apologize and hug it out

Eat dinner as a family

A woman should know her way around a kitchen

 

Education from Jase

All work and no play is no fun

When teenagers kiss, they should just be holding hands~always

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again

It’s fun to ruffle peoples feathers

If you love your job, you will work harder

 

Expertise from Willie

Have a good work ethic

If a boy wants to date your teenage daughter, take him hunting and intimidate him

It’s good to have an entrepreneurial spirit

Sometimes you gotta let your hair down and relax

Teamwork is best

Make sure your children know how to drive before well before they get a license

 

Observations of Jep

Sometimes it benefits to be the baby of the family

And last but NOT least
What we can learn from the wives
Know how to go with the flow
Love your husbands and love your babies
Sometimes you don't have to know how to cook

 

 

Hey!

Things you never knew you needed to know!

 

It is normal to reflect upon your life when birthdays are approaching. One the eve of mine, I would like to share some of what I have learned over the years. And perhaps, some observations, truths and just plain good advice.   

1. Go to church.
2. Don’t spoil your children, but do spoil your husband.
3. Act irrational and crazy once in a while around your husband so he doesn’t get spoiled.  
4. Play games. (Oh, not "play games" but "play" games like UNO, Yahtzee, checkers, wiffle ball, etc...  )
5. Don’t gloat when you win, or pout when you lose.  
6. Ask for forgiveness when you gloat when you win and pout when you lose. 
7. It is impossible for your children to only inherit just your fabulous, wonderful qualities. 
8. Love your children. 
9. Don’t judge people. 
10. Double check that your clothing or bathing suit covers up your birth control patch. 
11. If you are going to wear a thin skirt and be outdoors in the sunlight, it is a good idea to wear a slip. 
12. Don’t wear tan pantyhose with white pumps. Actually, don’t wear either.
13. Don’t wear your husband’s camouflage fleece, pajama bottoms, and slippers when driving your children to school late. You will surely have to go sign them in at the school’s front office. 
14. If you decide to get spunky and wear shorts on that warm mid-winter day, remember to shave the legs you have neglected for 2 weeks. 
15. Enjoy the rain, it brings the sun. (If live you in Seattle, go to a movie and get a coffee.)
16. Try growing a garden and camping, at least once.
17. Be thankful for your parents. 
18. It is okay to go to therapy. 
19. If you have the option of laughing or crying, laugh. 
20. Apologize when you should. 
21. Appreciate your friends. 
22. Dog is a man's best friend. 
23. Ombre style hair is not when your dark roots grow out 4 inches, so book your next hair appointment as your leave your last hair appointment. 
24. Watch hoarders occasionally if you need help getting rid of things you don‘t use, need or like. 
25. Go to college.
26. Nothing good happens after midnight. 
27. Don't drink and drive.
28. Don’t let yourself get over-served. If you do, drink lots of water the next day and take ibuprofen, because you will wish you followed #26. 
29. Nap and occasionally sleep in. (also helpful for #28) 
30. Come to a full stop when a school bus has the “STOP” sign out. 
31. Donate money and/or time to a charity.  
32. Eat dinner as a family. 
33. Eat cereal for dinner if you don’t want to cook; teach your children to cook. 
34. A serving of ice cream is ½ cup, but a serving of Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies is 1 sleeve. 
35. Exercise. 
36. Brush and floss your teeth. 
37. Read something. 
38. Be thankful and keep pity parties short.
39. Smile.   
40. Pray. 

So I am not really 30-something,
oh wait, I am  for a few more days!
