See this gorgeous photo of babywearing in parliament.
I recently stumbled upon Project Vote Smart. Find out which candidates are most like you.
How do you read (Kindle, iPad, Hardcover)? Re-think The Future of the Book.
I may sign up for The Pink Ribbon 7K (but that means I have to actually – you know – start running again). Anyone with me?

thank you for including that post.
i love kristen’s fight for dinner. it really is a sacred time.
i want to see that babywearing photo, but their site is down…will try later!
I swapped the link and it should be working now. I love seeing photos of moms who wear their babies as they go about their everyday lives…whether they’re washing the dishes or speaking up in parliament. :)
I’d be up for the Pink Ribbon 7K- I was planning on visiting my sister at U of A that weekend, why not squeeze in a quick (ha!) run while I’m at it!
Really? I’d love to meet you! Lunch or coffee afterward? Are you going to bring your girls along too? Let’s talk.
[Now, I need to start running. For reals.]
That would be wonderful, let’s do it! The girls will definitely be there, my 3 year old would never forgive me if she missed an opportunity to hang with her aunt. I’m pretty sure the 5 month old feels the same way, just hasn’t found the right way to express those feelings yet!
And it’d be a lot easier to start running again if it weren’t still 107 degrees every day! I have high hopes for fall to be just right around the corner, but then I see the day’s temperature followed by “record high” every time . . .
Yes, Let’s! I’m sure our girls will get along wonderfully. Will your husband be coming to the race as well? Should we plan on a family get-together? Let me know and I’ll brainstorm a few options…
You know I’m with you on that 7K… I am signing up for another 5K in a few weeks! :) You can do it!
