The March For Babies was yesterday and I’m still recovering. I went to bed at 9pm last night, which is incredible for me. My body is aching all over, clearly I need to up my gym game.
Good Reads
~Liz at Mom 101 says we’re all parenting wrong, and I love it.
~This has been going around on Facebook, but if you haven’t seen the images of 1.5 million balloons being released over Cleveland, it’s definitely worth a look.
More Mother’s Day Ideas
~OMG someone please buy this and make me a Rigby.
~Mike gave me this delicate birthstone necklace last year and I always recommend it.
~I received this clutch as a Thank You for speaking at an event last week, and I can’t wait to use it on a date or girls’ night.
What She’s Wearing
~Annie loves wearing dresses, but she’s also very active and loves swinging, climbing, and flipping when she wears them. A lot of people ask me about what I put over her underwear, and it’s usually one of three options:
1) Capezio Boy Cut Low Rise Shorts
2) Freestyle Danskin Shorts from Target
3) Girls Jersey Stretch Shorts from Old Navy
So Ready For
~The first scene of Orange Is The New Black is online and I’ve watched it twice already. I read the book
~And speaking of OITNB, this interview with the real-life Alex is really interesting (but full of spoilers, so if you want to read the book, skip it for now).
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Meg says:
Since our parochial school required jumpers (then skirts for the older grades) for girls, I started wearing bike shorts because pleated polyester dresses/skirts do not lend themselves to active children. At all. And I was a monkey child — always climbing and flipping and jumping and running and swinging and trying to get to the highest point. They’re also useful as an adult if tights are a little bit too long (I have short legs). They’re longer than the shorts you’ve linked which Annie wears but that extra length was necessary for a Catholic school.
Sarah says:
For under dresses, check out cartwheel shorts. Hanes makes a line and Children’s Place has their own line. Paired with a sale or coupon and you can get 2 for about $5.
Heather says:
Oh awesome! I will totally check those out!

Target usually carries as them as well as Kohl’s.
Suzanne says:
Love the clutch – I use a similar one in the big tote I lug around (law school & job) – that houses my essentials (wallet, keys, cell phone, lip balm) so when I want to run out out to grab lunch or on the weekend when I’m out to dinner I just have to grab that and then I don’t worry about swapping everything back to my everyday bag and inevitably forgetting something.
Lanie says:
I was thinking about you all yesterday & hoping the walk went well. Sending hope & hugs.
Heather says:
Thanks Lanie! I was thinking about your team, too. I hope your walk went well, your team kicked butt in fundraising! xoxo
Jaime says:
I love the necklace. I only have one child. I’m thinking I might get this for myself as a mother’s day present. Did you get gold or silver? My wedding set is platinum and I am partial to white gold or silver. But the gold looks so pretty.
Heather says:
My wedding set and a large portion of my jewelry is gold, so my necklace is in that setting. You’ll love the necklace, I get so many compliments on it!
Nicole says:
I love love love love that show and can’t wait for it to come back on!!!
