Questions of Eternal Significance: Do you unpack in a hotel room?
Source: frostedpetticoatblog.com via The Frosted Petticoat on Pinterest This has been an insane month of travel for me. It started with the Mom 2.0 Summit, then a few days later our trip to Disney World, and today I’m off to San Francisco for a couple days for work. I think, by the end of the month, I will have slept in a hotel more nights than I’ve slept in my own bed. This fact . . . is not my favorite. I am a nester by nature. I love to travel but I also really like to settle in and . . .
Two streams of the same river

Disney Social Media Moms 2013, day 4
Over the past few days, I’ve been sharing photos of our recent trip to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I am using Disney’s new Story app to share our photos and video (they have sponsored this post). If you are a scrapbooker – you will love this app for the way it easily organizes your pictures into shareable moments, with caption and text options. If you are not a scrapbooker (like me), you will love it even more because it makes it look like you are with very little work. This post . . .

via j5n Why Angelina Jolie's Op-Ed Matters | Monkey See NPR And yes, as much as none of us would likely say that we equate breasts with femininity or beauty, it will be powerful to someone at some brutal moment to have heard her say that she did this and feels no less feminine, no less beautiful, and she's still with Brad Pitt. That shouldn't make anybody feel better, rationally, logically, reasonably, it's just a famous person, it shouldn't matter. We should look to our parents as role models! . . .

Important announcement: India is now a tomboy
Lately, India has been talking a lot about her decision to be a tomboy. In fact, she tells almost everyone she talks with. "I'm a tomboy now," she'll announce with a flick of her hair. "I'm SO tomboy." She's quite excited about this new identity for herself. In her mind, being a tomboy means: She likes "boy things" like Star Wars She wears jeans Her new favorite color is black She will (occasionally) drink out of a cup that isn't pink She also spends quite a bit of time cultivating her . . .

Six reasons the #FitchtheHomeless campaign is problematic
Today my facbeook and twitter feeds were bombarded with reposts of the clever come-back video by Greg Karber in response to Abercrombie & Fitch. In case you missed it, there has been a quite storm of rage brewing towards Abercombie' & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries for the fact that the store doesn’t carry sizes beyond Large (10) because he doesn’t want fat people wearing the brand. Jeffries has been quoted as saying: That’s why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking . . .
