kids say the darndest things

driving along in the car the other day somehow the topic of childbirth, yes, childbirth came up amongst my three in the backseat. Listening slightly to the three of them discuss how gross it is to get your stomach cut open ( I had three c-sections to spawn my favorite little rugrats), one of my three piped up and said, "Mom, did it really hurt?" to which I responded, "At the time, but you forget about it especially when I get to have you guys (I was having a loving moment). " The reply that I got was the following, "Whehh, now I know why you don't like us sitting on your stomach!"

my love affair with Trader Joes continues

Ok, if you read this blog religiously (I do haha) you will quickly realize that I am a Trader Joe's fiend. Well, stopped in there today with my daughters in tow because it had been awhile and we needed some staples. Got to the check out counter and what did my little eye spy but the coolest reusable bags.... they have these fantastic island graphic designs and heavy-duty black handles.

but the best part is when you open up the back, they form this slightly rounded shape, great for groceries, yes, but perfect for a beach tote because it will fit that rolled towel shape perfectly.

I swooned and my daughters grabbed one for each of them. get to your nearest Trader Joe's and check them out..

mommy hair

Met the lovely Jill Hudson Neal the other night at an event for The School of Post Modern Dating - great time. Well, Jill and I chatted over the phone the over day on the long debated topic of "Mommy Hair" and some little thoughts of mine made it to her latest article - check it out at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/05/AR2007070500816.html
