I do this every year.  My kids go back to school and I think about all the free time I have ... http://girlymom.com/2008/10/20/here-i-am/ It's hard to believe that my baby is four today.  I desperately want to go back, just for a moment, and hold that little newborn. She is such a smart, courageous, energetic, temperamental, silly, LOUD, witty, precocious, and completely unique little girl.  Hopefully we won't mess that up.  My ... http://girlymom.com/2008/08/31/where-did-it-go/ I love Aquis Hair Turbans. I can't get ready without them.  Everyday I wrap one around my hair then I'm off to make breakfast, get the kids ready for the day, put on my makeup, do the laundry, paint the house, refinish some furniture and teach French to small children.  ... http://girlymom.com/2008/08/27/i-cant-live-without-my-turban/ I found out the other day that Sarah McLachlan's latest single, U Want Me 2, comes out tomorrow on iTunes.  Finally!  I've been dying for her to come out with something new.  You can listen to it here.  She has released so many "Best Of" and "Greatest Hits" albums, which ... http://girlymom.com/2008/08/25/sarahs-newest-single/ I've been DOA; no that's not it.  I've been MIA, yeah.  I've been MIA for a while.

I love... -All the little ... http://girlymom.com/2008/07/22/bullet-love/ I have no eyelashes.  So when I find a miraculous mascara that gives me visible, dare I say long lashes, well, I'm ecstatic.  I am so happy, I just might stand at my front door and tell all the people that drive by to stop and look at them.  Or ... http://girlymom.com/2008/07/15/my-new-lashes/
