deep breath

I feel like my head is about to explode . . . so much to figure out . . . exciting but overwhelming to say the least!

The good news; I mean GREAT news is school is out in only 35 days. I don't know who is more excited Colin or myself? I have absolutely nothing confirmed on the calendar for the summer; well except a quick trip to DC for a few days sans kiddo to see a production at the Kennedy Center. I am trying to get motivated to book some weekday quick trips which will be fun!

raised eyebrows?

Today I saw this article and was curious. Why was I curious? Well, because this is something we do in our household too. If you did not read the article it basically talks about a mom who paints her son's toenails . . . it appears in an ad for J.Crew . . . there are some complaining about gender identity issues. I never thought about that and have I ever raised my eyebrows if I see a boy with painted finger nails or toe nails. I think to each their own. I don't know why my son wants his toes painted but I am assuming it is because I paint mine . . . I only allow toes and not fingers. I go get pedicures and well he is usually in tow so he gets one too . . . his choice. I think he is out growing the phase because the other day we were out and he had on sandals and he said, "oh no my toes are showing." So am I wrong? Is it crazy to let a boy paint their toes? In honor of J.Crew, I have a $10 gift card to give away. J.Crew did not provide this gift card . . . in fact I was cleaning out some stuff and found it! It has been sitting here for months so if someone can use it; first request can have it! I called and it is still good . . . I'm sure it is from Sean so we know it is at least 7 years old! Kudos to J.Crew for having unexpired gift cards.
