Just as I was having fun and Day 3 is up!
With this being the last instalment of the challenge, I thought I’d round up 3 of my go-to inspirational bloggers, whom in the best capacity of the (one of the many) talents they possess, have uplifted their readers with many of their quotes.
These recent ones are one of my favourites in light of the Sturgeon Moon. Hope these would inspire and uplift your inner souls as they did me.

So. It’s Day number 2 of the challenge and I thought I’d get a little creative on this “new quotes” thing with the recent excerpts I have come across in the last few weeks. They may not be your conventional quotes, but quotes spouting from little bodies with big brains are quotes too, no?
Besides, they are pretty new so that fits the criteria of this challenge. And I present you…
If you leave the fridge open the cold air gets out because the cold air has invisible feet and it walks out of the fridge.
– Bang’s, Stomper Dad’s son on How does the refrigerator stay cold? in Questions I asked my Kids series
Mummy, you don’t call people fat that is rude. You have a big belly but I don’t tell you
– Son of My Crazy Life Blogger on Things My Son Says
“You don’t. You just shove a plaster on, give us a spoonful of Calpol and send us back out to play
– Third Born of Lisa’s, Author of Kids, Crumbs and Cracker on the subject of injuries and moms being over protective
And…
and…
and…
last one for the road from one of mine:
If you don’t give it to me, I’ll be very sad! (pout, pout, pout; ready to cry)
– Squirt (my 4 YO son) on why he’d cry if Spud, his sister does not give him back his toy car
Of course, there are rules!
- Provide 3 new quotes on many topics each day for three days
- Nominate 3 new bloggers each day for three days
- Thank the lovely writer who challenged you. In my case, thank you Lisa Pomerantzster: Are We There Yet
- Let the bloggers you have challenged, know about it (it’s a thing, part of the shtick)
Easy to arrow my fellow nominees for this round:
- All in a Dad’s Work
- It’s Good To Be Crazy Sometimes
- Kids, Crumbs and Crackers
This one has been fun. Stay tuned for Day 3 as I continue to crack my head to find new quotes.

When Lisa pinged me about this quote challenge, the quote sucker in me squealed with joy. I am only too happy to get another challenge to post a quote a day for 3 days,
Or so I thought.
Turns out that this one comes with a slight variation as it requires me to provide “3 new quotes on many topics”. Eh? New quotes? What the hell. What does “3 quotes would have to be used for many topics” mean? I don’t quite get this!
Damn! Finding new quotes is hard and that’s the only reason why it has taken me so long to respond. Plus my newly-minted SAHM’s brain is not cut out for this!
Or maybe I’m just over-thinking this.
So, errr…thank you Lisa for the brain exercise. I figured it’s probably easier to find quotes related to the current hot topics. Here we go:

Our children’s health and prosperity is too important to ignore the consequences of climate change.

“It was what I wanted. I was able to dedicate myself to this last comeback and that was it. One last hurrah. Looking back, it happened exactly how I wanted it to and exactly how it should have.”
– Michael Phelps reflects on his swimming comeback, with four Rio gold medals taking his career Olympic tally to 23.

Against all odds, we press on! We do not give up! We do not surrender! We do not compromise! We are honor! We are heart!
WE! ARE! VALOR!
– on Pokemon Go when one user wrote on the Team Valor subreddit.
So that’s the best I can do.
Of course, there are rules!
- Provide 3 new quotes on many topics each day for three days
- Nominate 3 new bloggers each day for three days
- Thank the lovely writer who challenged you. In my case, thank you Lisa Pomerantzster: Are We There Yet
- Let the bloggers you have challenged, know about it (it’s a thing, part of the shtick)
Here are my nominees:
- Memoirs of the Quiet
- The Pink Herald’s Blog
- Just Blue Dutch
Now that I have started, I’ll have to think of something else that would be considered new tomorrow. God help me.
