My Studio 5 Appearance

Here is a link to watch the video of me on Studio 5 this morning!

some seriously fun online reading

for a good time, take a minute and read the comments on this blog post on BabySteals. it's certainly entertaining to read. we asked the question, "what have you done to make sure you're at a computer at 9am MST for next BabySteal?" here are a few of the answers:

"I have your website and emails sent to my blackberry so I can check the daily steal no matter where I am! Including waiting in line for rides at Disneyland!"

"I'm a resident physician. I set my pager for 8:59am and make sure I can log in to the computer to get the deals asap before they run out!"

"Love the site. Great stuff! I one day sat at my mother in laws computer while my kids sat in the kitchen annoying grandma while I ignored them and waited for 9AM, then called my sister in law to see if she wanted one of what I was buying before I submitted it. can we say OBSESSION!"

"I have been checking the deals daily since about May. I love babysteals! The craziest thing I've done to check the deal at 9am? My family was ready to go and in the car when I noticed it was 9am, I told my husband I had to run inside and go to the bathroom (It was a good excuse, I was pregnant at the time), but instead I came in to check the deal of the day. "

"When it came time to get a new cell phone I picked one with internet access so I could log into BabySteals if I was out of the house or in my bedroom without the computer!"

AND, this one is in our Facebook fan page. It's classic and one of the funniest things I've ever read. I can't believe she shared this with the world, but bless her for it. Here goes:

"i held my poop! i normally have to go to the bathroom around that time and i actually crossed my legs and waited HAH"

Speechless. WINNER!

shout out to betty crocker

i'd like to thank betty crocker and the new fruit snacks face stickers commercial for making jane think that her chicken should stick to her face just like the new fruit stacker stickers do.

i really DO watch my child....

...what would today be if i couldn't post yet another set of pics from my wonderful toddler's mischievous messy moments. my mom was here and in just two minutes of talking, jane decided to clean the tub with a half a tube of brand new toothpaste............

........she wouldn't even look at me because she knew she was SO busted!

just a few minutes later when dinner was ready, she proceeded to give her hair a big smear of chicken-n-dumplings, too. proof that this was all in 20 minutes time: same outfit.

c'mon mom, it's just a little chicken-n-dumplings. i already smeared the bath with toothpaste, what's a little chicken-n-dumplings in my hair?

silence is dangerous when toddlers are involved...

...check out the piles and piles of sugar. "mmm yummy mama!"

it took me all morning to clean up the sugar, that spread all over the house in seconds.

why not lick it off your feet, too?

...and what she was doing while I was cleaning up the sugar!
