Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on November 14, 2007
As I have said before, my fantastic friend R. (of lucky uterus fame) is one of the coolest ladies I know. You know how some people just always know about cool little quirky shops and websites and just all around neat stuff? That’s R. I can’t wait until she officially becomes a member of The Momtourage this May; I know she’s gonna have a handle on all kinds of rockin’ baby stuff.
Today, she sent me the most hilarious e-card, a tribute to my wanting my son to grow up and be gay, from a site called someecards.com. Check out the hilariousness:

The site has all sorts of other laugh-out-loud funny cards for birthdays, holidays and all sorts of other random occasions and moods. The Thanksgiving ones are particularly timely and, of course, funny:
Mom, you need to send this one to Dad
For my cousin Erik, who literally wrote the book on Veganism and runs vegan.com
And for all of us unapologetically conspicuous consumers (ladies, we now know who we are)

Up There With Naptime
My Current Obsessions
The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.
