Here's a cute postcard I designed for MAMAPALOOZA! Looks pretty interesting. I can't wait to read what's on the back!

WILLE'S FIRST PERFORMANCE AT ROHS.

Check out the video of Willie's first performance at ROHS. He looked so darn cute. The football team lost something like 64-6 BUT the band was great!

NEW MYDOL PIX ARE ON THE WAY

The Mydols may have done their CUTEST photo shoot ever yesterday. In the pouring rain, we schlepped our busy bodies out to Livonia and did a photo shoot with David Reed at Riverside Arena.

Riverside is home to the Detroit Derby Girls so we definitely were feeling some synergy.

There were around 50 little kids there skating and we had to look adorable, while weaving amongst them, and, at the same time, trying NOT to break a leg or chip a tooth. Not easy stuff.

I can't wait to see the photos!

YOUneek TV Episode 3

DANDELION CONSIGNMENT

Every once and a while I get a scoop on something new and fun to look forward too that is local. I just found out that a new children's consignment store is opening in Berkley around Labor Day. It's called Dandelion. Their tag line... because kids grow like weeds!

Here's what we moms can look forward to.

Dandelion is a children's consignment store located at 2666 Coolidge in Berkley. They'll be taking in and selling gently used - name brand items, that are quality, and worthy of reselling.

Dandelion feels it's something that's good for our local area. It helps parents save money, make money, stimulates the local economy, brings more foot traffic to Berkley, and at the same time they're a GREEN business. YAY!! They're recycling and re-using items. They have plans in the works to sell eco-friendly baby products, slings, carriers, ergo carriers, chico bags, handmade clothing made from local artists, and jewelry made by local artists--within the FIRST year. (If everything goes smoothly.)

I wish Dandelion nothing but the best in their endeavors and only wish they were around when my kids were little. I can't wait to get invited to a baby shower!

PAULA BEGOUN

Yesterday was my big TV day. I got to spend 4 hours on a sound stage at Grace and Wild Studios answering phones during a pledge drive for DPTV. It was a national feed with the Cosmetic Cop, Paula Begoun.

I really enjoyed it. First off ALL the volunteers were so sweet. It made the time go by quickly. Next I love cosmetics! I learned a LOT listening to Paula. But the real reason I got a kick out of it was seeing how real TV works and how many people are involved in the decision making process. I watched the director pick and choose who should sit next to who in the phone bank based on age, sex, clothing color etc. I watched the talent improvise their lines. It was really fun to watch the stage manager's signal the talent to look in certain cameras, wind things up--he used all kinds of hand gestures. He looked like a third base coach. We also got to watch them break down a set and put up a new one in under 20 minutes. All very impressive. I got a couple of ideas I want to try on YOUneek TV!
