Want to help a good, nay, GREAT cause?

Hey, all of my Christian readers out there: my beautiful, kind, devoted niece is going on a summer mission trip to Mexico, and needs help raising funds! 

This trip will provide opportunities to serve the less fortunate as well as spread God's message, & our family couldn't be prouder of her. Regardless of religious affiliation, the message of Eedy's trip is pure, righteous, and valiant, and I'm so pleased to help her get there. :) 

If you've got a few bucks to help Eedy get to Mexico this summer, send it here: Valley Real Life- C/O Eedy Robinson Tecate Mission Trip, P.O. Box 397, Spokane Valley, WA 99016. 

Every little bit helps, & you honestly couldn't be supporting a more worthy kid. She's one in a million. ♥

What are you listening to?

Right now I'm listening to a little bit of vintage Madonna. Remember this song?

Now I have to go wrap my head around the fact that this song came out before my senior year of high school, and is considered vintage. 

Does this mean I am considered vintage as well?

Happy Mother's Day...

...to all the moms out there.

Mom jeans. Mom jeans everywhere....

Another Abercrombie & Fitch rant...

Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch (see post below for their views on "fat", "ugly" people) says he only wants attractive people wearing his clothes, & that they burn all of their unsold items, because it would be bad for their image to donate it, & have poor people walking around in it.

So......you only want good looking people to wear your clothes?

Mike Jeffries, CEO of A&F......and a potato face. 

Um....awkward.

Ugliness apparently spreads from the inside out, dude. You be fugly. Reeeeally fugly. Good luck with that.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

THIS IS BOGUS!!! This is exactly why I will never fork out my hard earned money to buy my children clothes at Abercrombie & Fitch. Disgusting, sick attitudes that contribute to the narcissism of today's young people. Blech.

Share me!

Allergies.

You know, I never had allergies until I started having kids. Now I'm deathly allergic to cats, and I've got a new allergy that has attacked me this week, leaving the inside of my throat itchy and unbearable.

So. Completely. Weird.

This is me:

Okay, maybe not quite.....

And I'm not happy about it.

Want some good news, though? My lovely, smart, talented, and impeccable editor, Meggan Connors, is starting work on Baby & Bump! Which means we're one step closer to releasing it. Squeeeeeee! I can't wait for my readers to enjoy it! Such a funny story.
