There Was an Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe
There Was an Old Lady Who Lived in a ShoeTUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2009 ![]() WAIT!! Hold on a moment while I compose myself. Has anyone seen the tissues? I think I am tearing up. What you are looking at is a picture of an actual bathtub....a beautiful high heel bathtub. SWOON. The tubs are designed in Italy by Sicis. I love a bath and I love a high heel. My 3 inch heels pale in comparison to the 5 foot platform heel on these tubs. Just think these tubs won't make your feet hurt or give you corns and varicose veins. Mama want. Calgon can take you away in this tub for roughly $25,000. Just imagine, I can look JUST like the woman in the photo above, relaxed and looking out over the Mediterranean Sea at her THREE boys playing calmly below in the sand. Three boys who would never dream of disturbing her in her high heel bathtub heaven to tell her both the new puppy and the baby just pooped on the couch, or that they are starving even though they just ate the equivalent of a Honda Accord ten minutes earlier, or that they think something, or rather, someone smells dead in the reclusive and mysterious neighbor's backyard. No, in my high heel bathtub heaven everyone (including me) is calm, quiet, clean, and covered in porcelain and rhinestones. There was an old lady who lived in a shoe…definitely if her shoe looked like this bathub!

A Little Heel Must Fall
A Little Heel Must FallTUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2009 Then came two very active step-sons and the birth of my baby boy. Three boys! I looked and felt ridiculous "clicking" around after the boys teetering on heels, especially since I am 5’10”. If I fell, it would be like a tree getting chopped down in the forest…timberrrr! Forget the ambulance for help, call the lumber company. In addition to being tall, I am 36 years old and after years of heels, my feet have earned their stripes. We just can't take it anymore. The search began for a great looking pair of comfortable shoes.
Since fall is nearly upon us I decided to start by looking for new boots. I love boots and I searched high and low (under 3 inches low) for a fantastic looking pair of comfortable boots. Fashion and comfort was a marriage I never thought I would see. That's when I discovered the Tyra Boots, by Dansko. Dansko makes those clogs you see all the nurses and waitresses wearing. I ordered a pair through zappos and it was love at first zip. The Dansko Tyra Boots really are comfortable. They are sleek and the heel is not too bulky or square. Actually this is a 3" heel so I didn't have to sacrifice the height to get a comfortable boot.
If, like me, you are a busy Mom, but still like a great pair of leather boots try these out. They are great all weather boots and in addition to black, come in brown too. Go and rock your comfortable AND fabulous self. With the Dansko Tyra Boot, you’ll feet will thank you and your closet won’t hate you.

Flirt Your Way to A Sweet Ass - Meggan Ravazzolo
Flirt Your Way to A Sweet Ass - Meggan RavazzoloWEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2009 Losing pregnancy weight (or weight in general) stinks. Actually losing weight is great…dieting stinks, as does buying and re-buying different size clothes as you slide up and down the scale. For me, my post pregnancy weight loss has been a long journey and like any journey worth taking it was not a straight line. Lots of stops and starts – hills and valleys (and I am not just talking the hills and valleys on the back of my thighs…love you thighs!) I also didn’t want to ”waste money” buying new clothes until I reached “my weight”, but in the meantime I literally was wearing the same thing everyday and looking pretty schlempy. It wasn’t good.That is when I decided that I was WORTH some new clothes and did not have to be the PERFECT weight to still look put together. I was thrilled when I discovered the FLIRT Jeans from Old Navy, and I did not have to spend a fortune. The trick to the Flirt Jean is they are mid-rise which helps tame the tummy and hold it all back without going so far as the dreaded “classic cut” route. You know…”high waisted”, “easy rider”, “Mom jeans”, whatever you call it, those jeans are evil and guarantee your husband will never give you that second baby you want.
The Flirt Jeans haven’t gone unnoticed by the fashion mags either, having recently been written up in Glamour magazine. They are 87% cotton so they don’t have as much give as I would like, but at roughly $30.00 retail and between $20.00 and $25.00 online (www.oldnavy.com) they are worth picking up several pairs. Old Navy Flirt Jeans also have several cuts and washes to play around with including plus, tall, and petite.
If you love your jeans on the fancy designer side, but don’t have your fancy designer ass yet, the Flirt Jean by Old Navy will bridge the distance and get you through. Love yourself and your ass ladies, no matter the size!

Shhh - No Talking! - by Meggan Ravazzolo
Shhh - No Talking! - by Meggan RavazzoloSUNDAY, AUGUST 02, 2009 WARNING: I took my Bitter Mommy pill. I have my Snarky Panties on. Blame it on the lack of sleep, but my patience is done run out with all the "helpful" comments people have been making to me lately about being a Mom and Motherhood. I would love to tell people to go shh!, but I don't. I just smile and trudge up the high road, secretly plotting my revenge. I have never actually done any of the replies, except maybe the one about the hamburger, but that pretty much is a given...like right now...yummy. Sometimes people just need to sssshhh.
Comment: How did YOU get such a cute baby?
Translation: You're not good looking enough to make a kid that cute.
Reply: He gets his good looks from your husband.
Comment: My girlfriend already lost ALL the baby weight.
Translation: You look fat.
Reply: No reply...too distracted day dreaming about hamburgers.
Comment: Are you sick? You look really tired!
Translation: Wow, you look baaad. I'll never look like that when I have a baby.
Reply: Just you wait bitch, you'll see.
Comment: Did you know you have food stuck to your clothing?
Translation: GROSS!!!!
Reply: Don't touch me. That's my snack for later.
Comment: When I was your age, I had FOUR children and we didn't have all those fancy gizmos making our lives so much easier.
Translation: You stink you little hussie.
Reply: No words, whack her with her own cane.
