Would you run for President? Please?
I only had a few actual nursing bras, I found out really quick that sports bras worked just as well for me... though I'm only a B cup, I don't know if it'd work as well for a better endowed mom.
For toy storage, I actually use an armoire... and I bet if you looked around for a while you could find an old used one that's made out of real wood that you can leave natural or paint / varnish to fit your room. Mine has two very spacey shelves in the armoire part, and two really deep drawers on the bottom. I just took out the rod that was in there for hanging clothes and voila, every board game fits neatly in the two drawers and miscellaneous games, blocks, toys etc stack in the armoire section.
Hilarious post! How about a male etiquette show, Top Fop? The show could remind men how to remain a) clean and b) well-mannered after they marry and pro-create. (My husband thinks it's funny to teach our one-year-old son how to pick his nose and it makes me shudder. There are frightful things in store, I fear.)
I found you on allmediocre.com. I love your style. Would love it if we could list each other's links. I love the dry humor.
Pass me the secret to getting that weeks worth of meals done and frozen for less than $100 when you get it, PLEASE.
These are all such brilliant ideas. If only Bravo will listen...
now that is actual REALITY tv!! great ideas...they should hire you as a consultant! :)
Pick me to be one of the judges! Better yet, start our own REALITY (as in, realistic) fashion & food shows.
p.s. saw your post on The Bloggess. I'm originally a jerseygirl too! heading there in a couple weeks.
btw jersey, have you seen the natural white cheddar Cheetos puffs? they really are pretty good...at least we like them....
