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.

Hi! I found your blog through your article on the MSN home page about what your car says about you as a person. I just have a question…if you’re a Mom, then why didn’t you write about the mini-van driver???
I don’t believe it. The “word on the street” is rarely worth listening to.<BR><BR>But I bet Chelsea is getting a kick out of all this. That poor child did her time in the spotlight. To think, she might have to do it again!
It was all just a giant pyramid scheme. And like any engagement ring pyramid scheme, it created a bubble and that bubble had to eventually burst. The apologists for free-market fundamentalism claim that the business scandals we’ve seen so far are an anomaly. Alas, it would be wonderful if it were true. But it’s not. As Graham Turner, a BBC business journalist has shown, it’s clearly symptomatic of a basic, systemic problem that is going unaddressed, even by the supposed “reforms” recently passed by Congress and signed by the president. As a result, I have created this chart to give you an idea of the true extent of the symptoms created by this problem.
Note that this chart only shows the tip of the iceberg. It does not show the detail - the day to day incidents of a small scale that don’t make the headlines. Nor does it show all of the other less-well-known scandals, incompetence, conflicts of interest and ideological outrages, far too numerous to mention here,necklaces that beset the Bush administration.
Beautiful blog with great informational content. Mostly certifications related and another related topics are really very good. testking 1z0-146, testking 220-701 and testking 220-702 are also good topics. Thanks for this great sharing.
