I can’t fill her shoes

With Kathryn at BlogHer, I’ve taken the helm around here. Let me tell you, it’s been surprisingly difficult.

Kathryn’s Weekend BlogHer Tattoo Parlor

I “borrowed” a handful of washable tattoos from the mommybloggers at BlogHer this summer and mailed them out to about 30 of you.  These 30 swore by blood oath to send me pictures of themselves wearing said tatts.  Here are the results.

Not Much to See Here

Well, I try to cover it up most of the time.
