Update – Kat

May 26, 2009

Remember Kat?

Kat already had beautiful hair, but wanted a little change. An overwhelming 91% of you voted for Kat to add some bangs to the mix and here’s the result!

Doesn’t she look great? She also followed the advice to stop highlighting and celebrate her beautiful rich brunette color. Kat says:

Your advice to go to one color – GENIUS. I love the all dark hair now. it’s much more glossy and looks healthier and totally easier to manage with no highlight appointments.

Looking gorgeous, Kat!

Leap Frog Tag Reader Giveaway!

May 26, 2009

Once again, I have to thank all of you who commented and/or emailed me about the early reader situation. Your suggestions were spot on!

One of the common threads I noticed in your suggestions was the use of Leap Frog products. Whether the Tag Reader or Leapster2, many of you mentioned these products as awesome learning tools for your little ones. I’m in full agreement – we LOVE the Tag Reader. LOVE IT. I wrote a review of the Tag Reader at ParentDish last summer and my opinion hasn’t changed at all. It rocks.

Thanks to the lovely folks at Leap Frog, one lucky reader will receive one Tag Reader set plus two extra books! Here’s the deal – leave a comment on this post before Friday, May 29th at 12pm PST. I’ll announce the randomly-chosen winner Friday afternoon. Good luck!

(Psst…a Leapster2 giveaway is coming soon!)

Parenting Confessional – Part 3

May 21, 2009

1. On Monday, Wito’s lunch consisted of some Cheerios and string cheese because I wanted to eat HIS beloved leftovers from a Mexican restaurant the night before.

2. I get secretly pissed when he announces that he doesn’t like the song playing in my car. I HAVE STELLAR TASTE IN MUSIC, KID. ONE DAY YOU WILL REALIZE THAT.

3. Wito calls cereal bars (Nutri-Grain bars and such) “handlebars”. I know I am supposed to correct him, but there is nothing cuter than a kid asking for a strawberry handlebar. Carry on, son!

4. If I’m looking like a disheveled mess and/or hobo and need to run errands, I prefer to take Wito so that strangers will assume I look this way from being an overworked parent. Truth is, I probably spent all of my primping time reading Harper’s Bazaar and rearranging my shoe collection.
