About this time . . .
Two days ago I was using one hand to apply pressure to the other, trying to dial for help with my elbows, and considering a visit to my neighbor’s in wildly inappropriate pajamas. Not my best moment.
A couple days before THAT, though, I got to hit the streets with my bloggy-turned-real-life friend, Genevieve of Mama Natural. As you can see below, Genevieve is a natural in more than one sense and I . . . am not.
I left my lipstick and brush behind in the wrong car, had “airplane” ear so I couldn’t hear myself talk, and managed to be less-than-discreet when sneaking milk out of the dairy section to shoot. Oh well, so what if my forehead and chin are apparently two different colors when I blush? I would dress up like a teenage mutant ninja turtle and break dance in Times Square if it would somehow help get the word out about GMO’s!
Of course, the real highlight of the weekend . . .
Was introducing our boys, whom we both went into labor with on September 11th two years ago. I tried to rest and delay while she embraced the day.
Though I can’t say I would change anything about my son’s story (he was born on the 12th), it’s not because I got the day I thought I wanted. I love his story because it is HIS, but thanks to Genevieve and some time for reflection I have come to believe that every day on the calendar is a gift. If you need a reminder of that today check out this handsome boy’s birth video, which Genevieve shared here. ♥

Thanks, Jennifer. Speaking of awesome sauce, we had your ketchup with fried clams for lunch today. YUM!
Yay! If you are a mustard fan, I have 2 versions of a kombucha brown mustard that I need to post. I’ll trade you condiments for your yummy homemade toiletries.
Deal! Does this mean we have to ship messy ingredients or do we just trade recipes?
The delivery drivers and mailman all know who I am, so I’ll go with recipe swaps. I swear I’m already licking the recipe pics from your book. Did that sound weird? That sounded weird.

Great video! How fun. My question: if I use the beauty products in your new ebook, will I also look this good without makeup? Please say it’s so…
