Do you have an Easter tree? Growing up we always had one, so I have continued the tradition. This year Miss A was old enough to help decorate.... she took her job very seriously.

Easter 2011
Did you have a nice Easter weekend? We did. We had Easter festivities for almost an entire week and Miss A loved all of the egg hunts.

We had a church Easter Egg Hunt and the Easter Bunny was walking around, but Miss A was not too sure of him. She much preferred him when he was like this.

Blog Sale - Michele Watch
I recently got a new watch, so I am trying to sell my other Michele watch.
It is in great condition, I just don't think I will wear it enough to justify keeping it. I purchased this watch from Sake Fifth Avenue 5 years ago, original retail was $675, I am asking $375. The watch shows normal wear, but it is still a wonderful watch. I would still be wearing it, had I not been surprised with my new one!

A Mother's Prayer for Her Child

Nada. That is what I have for you right now. So, instead of posting something stupid, I am going to post Tina Fey's prayer for her daughter. Even if you dont have children you will find this amusing.
"A Mother's Prayer for Her Child" by Tina Fey
“First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches.
May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty.
When the Crystal Meth is offered, may she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half and stick with Beer.
Guide her, protect her when crossing the street, stepping onto boats, swimming in the ocean, swimming in pools, walking near pools, standing on the subway platform, crossing 86th Street, stepping off of boats, using mall restrooms, getting on and off escalators, driving on country roads while arguing, leaning on large windows, walking in parking lots, riding Ferris wheels, roller-coasters, log flumes, or anything called “Hell Drop,” “Tower of Torture,” or “The Death Spiral Rock ‘N Zero G Roll featuring Aerosmith,” and standing on any kind of balcony ever, anywhere, at any age.
Lead her away from Acting but not all the way to Finance. Something where she can make her own hours but still feel intellectually fulfilled and get outside sometimes And not have to wear high heels. What would that be, Lord? Architecture? Midwifery? Golf course design? I’m asking You, because if I knew, I’d be doing it, Youdammit.
May she play the Drums to the fiery rhythm of her Own Heart with the sinewy strength of her Own Arms, so she need Not Lie With Drummers.
Grant her a Rough Patch from twelve to seventeen. Let her draw horses and be interested in Barbies for much too long, for childhood is short – a Tiger Flower Blooming Magenta for one day – And adulthood is long, and dry-humping in cars will wait.
O Lord, break the Internet forever, that she may be spared the misspelled invective of her peers and the online marketing campaign for Rape Hostel V: Girls Just Wanna Get Stabbed.
And when she one day turns on me and calls me a bitch in front of Hollister, give me the strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab in front of her friends, for I will not have that shit. I will not have it.
And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her, lying on a blanket on the floor at 4:50 A.M., all-at-once exhausted, bored, and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back. “My mother did this for me once,” she will realize as she cleans feces off her baby’s neck. “My mother did this for me.” And the delayed gratitude will wash over her as it does each generation and she will make a Mental Note to call me. And she will forget. But I’ll know, because I peeped it with Your God eyes.
Amen.”
-Tina Fey

Chewbeads
Do you ever look at something and think to yourself "Why did I not think of that?!?!" That is exactly what I did when I first read about Chewbeads.
OR turquoise, orange and pink?
Chewbeads are 100% non toxic, silicone beads that are made to be put inside little mouths.... plus, they are pretty cute for the momma to wear.
I did not know about these chic necklaces when Miss A was teething, but when #2 starts to teeth, she/he will be able to chew in style.
There are 2 different styles of necklaces, plus they offer bracelets and they all come in dozens of colors.
Today the daily deal website 8moms.com has a $30 chewbeads gift certificate for only $15. You can get 2 necklaces for the price of 1!
Go here for the deal - http://www.8moms.com/referral/AfTtsc
Now comes the hard part - deciding the colors!
Should I do a trio of blues?
OR turquoise, orange and pink?OR white, black and yellow?
Ah..... decisions, decisions.
* I am not being compensated by chewbeads for this post. But, I would gladly accept some necklaces.

What's On My Phone
Here is another installment of "What Is On My Phone...."
The bluebonnets are beautiful this time of year. This field is not far from out house - we took Miss A up there a couple weeks ago for pictures.
She got this car for Christmas and LOVES it. "Momma, chase me!"
Spring has sprung.
I stole this recipe from Kate (Elefantitas Alegres) and it is wonderful. I served it over whole wheat pasta.... makes me hungry just looking at this picture.
