By-Low Baby in Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine

Several months ago I was contacted by one of the editors of Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine about a feature they were doing on baby blankets. The editor asked me if I would be willing to send her a couple blankets to potentially be used in the July issue of the magazine. I was reluctant, of course, because I 1. didn't know if she was for real, and 2. I was basically being asked to donate my blankets (again, is this for real, or is somebody just fooling me into sending my cutest blankets??). After researching the magazine and the editor for legitimacy and finally getting over my paranoia, I donated my blankets and have been waiting for the July issue ever since.

Well, the July issue of the magazine is on stands now and lo and behold, there is one of the blankets I sent them! While it doesn't have it's own centerfold, By-Low Baby gets the credit. I couldn't be more thrilled. My blanket is part of the pink pinwheel - the pink and green one at the bottom on the stem. Fun, eh?

R.I.P Michael Jackson

I was pretty much over the death of Michael Jackson 30 seconds after I heard the news. No doubt a music legend, also no doubt a complete wacko. The man creeps me out and quite frankly I'm tired of hearing about how he died, who is responsible, who gets the kids, the fortune, the memorial place, rights to the wax Michael in Madame Tussauds museum. And for that one fan who said Michael is a "living-day prophet," you're a wacko too.

To be fair and to put Michael to rest, I'd like to pay a little tribute to his greatest hits. Come along with me down a path of THEN and NOW.
