IKR! Dude, if I’m laying down that kinda $$ I want a nice shopping experience or free shipping so I can pretend it was all fancy an shit. Personally I do the Library theme from Paddywax (free Prime shipping on Amazon!) so I can pretend I’m well read AND fancy.

I’m going to have to remember to do a “reveal” next year. This year, the minute I booked the flight I was gabbing away to the kids about where we were going. I did it to build up the excitement but I can see how doing a big reveal would be awesome too.

We’re doing this for our trip to NZ in June. We got books, travel journals, travel supplies, clothing, etc. We did the same thing last Easter for a trip to San Francisco. Noise cancelling headphones in purple were a big hit with my then 7 year old daughter. We gave them each their very own suitcase, and got the same…

I just want to know if she’s doing/dating Lewis Hamilton or not. That is the only reason I look at any article mentioning her name.

I can’t believe Allison Begezda didn’t use #AllisonInChains

Granite counter tops have GOT to go. When we owned a home, we had butcher block counter tops and loved them. They were cheap, functional, warm and inviting. Now we live in an apartment and our kitchen has granite tops, oh how I hate them.

I want you to know this is a completely appropriate use of this gif. Thank you.

So lovely. I mean who doesn’t love a good tiara.

Yeah we’re in the LA metro area as well. We took our son to London when he was 12 weeks old and it was amazing because no one there gives you stink eye for having a beer in a pub with your baby sleeping in the stroller next to you. But once we added #2 to the mix, we pretty much kept it local. Now they’re turning 10 &…

I prefer this simple white blouse, black jacket look on her.

Here’s the reason I pay attention to the decals etc. Because I like watching racing and I know if I want my favorite driver to continue to race, he needs sponsors. Sponsors want to move product. If I have a choice between one detergent or another that’s just as effective, I’ll choose the one that sponsors my driver.…

I learned what a blue flag means from listening to Vettel’s rather entertaining radio transmissions on the subject.

There’s a rumour she’s dating Lewis Hamilton so that’s the ONLY reason I’m paying her any attention. I’m not sure dating Lewis is enough to make me watch a minute of ANTM though.

I miss it too!!!!! It was the only place I could find to talk about make-up where being a 50 yo didn’t mean I got an automatic “Give it up granny mom!” response to my comments or questions.

Regardless of what “school” someone uses to educate their child, I agree that age appropriate peer interaction is important. However, I’m 50, I don’t only interact with other 50 year olds, so needing to learn to interact with all sorts of people comfortably, not just their peers, is beneficial to a child’s self…

“most of what they present as “education” is stuff that my parents did with little baby public-school-educated me when I was a kid.”

A lot of self acceptance comes with age I think. I’ve come to realize that I need to appreciate my body for doing everything it does AND for being healthy. Two months ago a friend from high school died suddenly leaving behind two children and grandchildren. Two other friends are dealing with chronic pain, one needs a…

“String bikinis for life!!!”

We got married in Scotland and had a Ceilidh band. We danced to whatever they played. I walked down the aisle to Elvis’s version of Unchained Melody and a friend sang Come By The Hills during the ceremony.
