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 from Amazon (she also wears these to gymnastics)
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 last year and found it fascinating (and different from the series, which definitely takes some creative license). The new season comes out June 6th…I’m going to have to seriously resist the urge to binge-watch.
~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!!!
