my loot!

I actually won a contest!  Mama's Magic Studio's prize arrived in the mail yesterday.  Please check out Jennifer Johnson's shop at etsy and also her blog.  Jen is a thoughtful and whimiscal jewelry designer and a real rock of a mama who has loads to teach us all in the gentle and perceptive manner in which she raises her two young kids.  I hope I am half the mother she is once I see past the mayhem to the wonder that is my kids.

"A woman needs a man like

a fish

needs a bicycle."

And now for the lesson in feminism:  This gem of a quote is not from Gloria Steinem, but from Irina Dunn.

I'll be wearing these all week, at least!  Thank you, Jennifer Johnson!
