Solange looks great and I've got nothing but respect for her style. I wish I had the guts to wear my own natural hair less styled and more loose and free like hers. Maybe this will be my summer look for this year. Maybe... I'm working on it.

No kidding, rough match. The ball would not go in for Holland.

Mmmm... grass fed and free-range.

Sure you can marry yourself. No big deal. However if you can actually get someone to show up at the wedding and bring you gifts, I'll be officially impressed.

And a hat.

Also pro-grain free. Solved my cat's nasty ear problems, where they'd get all plugged up with extra wax, she'd scratch at them all the time and had bumps inside her ears. I'd have to hold her down and clean them out with drops and a Q-tip. Horrible but I adopted her in that condition. Switched to a grain free diet…

Do you fence? It's common where I live. I stand by my statement.

I used to teach karate to kids and I can tell that 5 yr old girls are bad-ass, popping out push-ups, taking punches, all that stuff. But 5 yr old boys, on the other hand, are generally NOT READY YET. One little stray punch and they go crying for their mommas. Girls are just tougher in sports all around and from…

I was ROBBED! By a committee of 1. I could've been a star on our school's spelling squadron.

"Committee" got me back in 5th grade and ended my hopes of going to district. I was set-up though, I said that 2nd "t" but Ms. White didn't hear me, or so she says. C-o-m-m-i-t-t-e-e! Ugh, what a memory... who else is drinking over this post?

Switch the word "smart" for "funny" in the original question and my bet is you'd get the same reaction. Women are underestimated in every thing we do. We are funny, I know that I'm sure as hell am funny and don't need a man to tell me that he agrees. And you can switch "smart" for "funny" in that statement too.

My husband is addicted to Linkedin and growing his "connections" although I think most of them are about as useful as diet shake. Give me a Facebook "friend" anyday.

I don't buy this study at all. In truth, it's all about the cars, carbs and missing sidewalks.

Just John Edwards by the light of day. Imagine, as a nation, we could've all rolled over the morning after the 2008 election and seen this face.

My baby would trade me for Daddy in a heartbeat. I don't take it personally at all... in fact, I've trained him to yell for "Daddy" specifically at night. That's the best kept secret to getting more sleep.

My motherhood tip: just keep your expectations LOW. You'll end up walking around more cheerful and happier than you ever imagined just because your day doesn't particularly suck and you got 3 straight hours of sleep the night before. I'm really a happy mom: my older kids ignore me, my baby occasionally punches me in…

It does seem to get easier with each additional child. Somehow, contrary to all of my fears, they seem to survive a childhood with me as their mother. No, I'm not great by any means, but I'm good enough a mom. I've also forgiven my mommy shape although I've managed to whittle it down considerably. If anyone had…

The more I think about it, the more sure I become that it's all about being haunted by "what-ifs". They're still around but I'm a lot more comfortable with the idea of disappointing my parents and no longer continuously striving to live up to someone else's idea and expectations of my "potential". I'm free of all…

I'm a happy 40-something mom who didn't start the brood until the tender age of 37. Maybe that's why I'm fine with being at home and all because I've already experienced so much and know that I'm not really missing out on anything. I'd just as soon go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up early on Sunday for…

I would punch any reporter who tried to kiss me on the mouth. Seriously, yuck, I don't know where that mouth has been.
