Don't do that...

Our order accuracy is around 99%. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, we made a mistake. Here's the e-mail we got from our friend in Morrisville, NC:

"I ordered a tee shirt for my husband at my 5 kids request.It was supposed to be a Father's Day present.I ordered it on the 16th-we knew that it would not be here on Father's Day,so finally it comes today and we are all shocked when it is the WRONG SIZE!!!!!!We ordered a Large.You sent an XL.We are very unhappy!!!!!!I want the money back that we spent on this joke.We cannot use this shirt-it is enormous!We want a full refund."

Uh, if this is the tailspin your life collapses into when receiving a wrong size, you should probably stay off the internet.

Naturally, we apologized and sent the right size immediately, because that's who we are. But really, lady? Dramatic misery is so not pretty-don't do that.

Popcorn and tears...

I took Anna to see the Hannah Montana movie last night. I know. Don't even get me started. But here's something even more alarming: not only did I eat seven pounds of popcorn, I also got teary-eyed not once, but twice, while Miss Miley was singing. This can only mean one thing...

Dear Period,
If you could go ahead and start please, that would be awesome.
Love,
Princess fat-ass-weepy-pants

Grow up. Please and thank you.

Again with the personal tidbit, cuz it's my life, and my blog, and I'll write what I want to...This girl's link I'm about to post? Fully unloads on the immature and inconsiderate, and how can you not heart her for that? As funny as she is, it's actually really helpful for those people who need to grow up (read: don't know about minding their body space, writing thank-you notes, universal quiet hours, or that being Barbie dumb is not charming).

Now, if you're on my blog, clearly YOU don't need this information because you've already grown up, or you're getting close enough, and I'm pretty sure you're awesome. BUT, (finger stabbed into air for emphasis), you can read it and brag relentlessly about your perfect score, (which is what I'm doing), and/or, send it to that few (or scads of) people you know who do in fact need this information, and should employ it sooner than immediately. Just sayin...

Barbie's dogs pee?

Here's a personal tidbit...I bought Anna a new Barbie at Target-she comes with a small collection of dogs. Fabulous, no? After we got home, I realized this: Barbie fills them with water, they pee on their puppy papers, and she cleans it up. Really, Mattel? What other depressing scenarios might we look forward to? Umemployment Barbie? Maybe Hospice Barbie?...Barbie=Malibu dream house, awesome wardrobe, ignoring stop signs in her convertible. The end.

Keeping Mom and Baby Safe at The Spa

Let’s face it-creating life is hard work! With all of the uncomfortable changes your body goes through, a little pampering at the spa can be a great pick me up. But before you go, beware. There are some specific concerns that an expecting Mom would have that others would not. Here are some tips to help make sure your trip to the spa is a safe one for you and your baby:

1) Keep cool: Maternal temperature above 102 degrees can affect the brain development of the fetus. Stay away from hot saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools and body wraps.

2) Light touch: Make sure your massage therapist is trained in prenatal care and uses pressure that is lighter than usual, especially around the abdominal area.

3) Turn over: Never lie flat on your back after the 18th week of pregnancy. Any good massage therapist will know that you should be on your left side, propped up with a pillow with another pillow between your legs. A chair massage will also do the trick.
Keeping these tips in mind will help protect you and your baby during your next trip to the spa.

More praise for MollyAnna Stroller Bags!

So recently I was all on about the Skip Hop Diaper Bags. Skip Hop makes, among many others, canvas messenger diaper bags that clip to your stroller and are awesome. I have one. I got it for Christmas. Thank you again, honey.
Skip Hop also makes different bags. Neat bags. Trendy bags. Even bags for Target. Check them out.
Recently, thanks to a fantabulous blog giveaway (I’m telling you people, these blog giveaways are awesome!) at The Lil’ Mommy That Could, I won a stroller bag by Mollyanna.com and it arrived in the mail. It was like Christmas in July. And let me say, this bag is awesome too.
Where the Skip Hop Bag is canvas and cool, this one is fabric and gorgeous. So simple. So chic. Where the Skip Hop Bag takes you back to the first day of school with zippers and clips and keychain holders and many many pockets (totally fun, right?), the Mollyanna bag has just two simple snap closures, two pockets for diapers and wipes, and a big central pocket. Mine is “Dark Chocolate” with a gorgeous autumny contrasting fabric liner. It is beautifully made and I love it.
And best of all, these are on crazy sale right now. Like, way better than Target prices sale. Hey, it’s back to school time! Don’t you deserve a new bag too? And at these prices, lust is within reach. Sometimes baby’s gotta have it.
