Ok, I know this is probably ridiculous to most but something quite amazing happened in my life a few days ago that I just had to share.
SHE folded MY clothes.
SHE! The 7-yr-old folded *my* clothes! Out of the dryer. Fresh. Dried. FOLDED. And they were MINE!
After 4 1/2 years of washing, drying and folding HER clothes, my 7-yr-old folded MY clothes! AMAZING! What a moment! I couldn’t believe it. It was morning time and I had just gotten out of the shower. I casually mentioned to my 7-yr-old that I had forgotten to grab a pair of socks. She then gleefully piped up, “Do you want MEEE to get you a pair?!!?” I sort of crumpled my brow thinking, “SHE is going to get ME a pair of socks? I don’t get it. I get HER socks every morning when she forgets to grab a pair (which is most mornings).” And then she said it, “I’ll get you a pair because I know where they are because *I* folded them for you yesterday!” And she happily skipped off to to our laundry area get them… While I tried my best NOT to pass out. The day had come.
THE day. The day I just presumed would never come. The day that SHE would fold MY clothes.
Amazing.
Parenting is indeed full of joyful surprises.

Just found this on YouTube… FUN and somehow it manages to be appropriate for all ages! Quite unique these days!
As stepmom to a 7-yr-old girl (and soon to be her official ”Mom” after the adoption goes thru) I am suddenly painfully aware of how inappropriate sooOOOOoo many things are on TV these days. The shows, the videos, the video games… unbelievably adult for their target audience.
I was so happy to find this fun video. Enjoy!

Those of you who know me personally have seen this image before but I just had to share it with everyone!
I found this article on Dr. Bronner’s natural soap products on the Fabulous After 40 blog (www.cafeglam.com). Included in the article is a video which shows you how to tell if the soap you are using is “real soap” or “fake soap”, which means soap full of petroleum products and not organic at all.

Do you agree? No? Either way, leave your thoughts!
Yahoo has begun a “Green” section and I found a pretty cool quiz in which you can (loosely) figure out how your lifestyle effects our climate.
Try it… The results page offers a few nice “going green” suggestions:
