It's so strange when someone you know makes the big time. I guess these bags are the hottest thing going. Movie stars carry them and they've been in tons of magazines. The gal that started this company is the sister of Tom, a good friend of ours from college. I only met her a few times, but still. Pretty cool. The website is: www.1154lill.com

Nora has adopted my old purse as her own, since I switched my stuff to the new one. I looked in it this morning. The contents are as follows: a torn up tissue, a shoestring and some orange peels. All the things a girl might need throughout the day.

I saw this in Real Simple magazine. You send these folks a little movie clip and they turn it into a business card sized flip book for like 9 bucks. How cool is that? www.flipclips.com

Mav at port2port had a link to this on her site. I'm amazed. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If I ate breakfasts like these, it sure would help my day! Click here to see the photo set on Flickr. Click on view as slideshow and let the drooling begin. By the way port2port is a wonderful site- much discussion about art, people, places, life and she takes such pretty photos.

Why does the bobbin thread always run out when you are 98% done with the sewing project?

Don't forget April 22 is Earth Day. (And the birthday of a dear little one in our family- Madison is turning 2!) Ben and Jerry's gives away free ice cream on Earth Day, and I'm sure there are lots of other fun activities in your neck of the woods. Click here to find a Ben and Jerry's near you.

For The Simpsons fans out there. My friend Michael sent me a link to this movie clip. If you've ever watched The Simpsons you'll know this is dead on. Very clever.

Sorry, nothing so clever from me. We have a lot going on today and I had a rough parenting day yesterday. I must spend my time hugging the kids.

Oh, wait. One more thing. How do you suppose I get the address of one of my new blogging friends without her knowing, one I've never met but is very sweet and having a new baby in a few weeks and might need a little gifty for the baby or herself?

Ok, if my hint wasn't subtle enough, Beki, can you please email me with your address?
