Monday Mentions
If you are new to Monday Mentions, check out this explanation to learn more.
- If you are not already reading Michael Ian Black’s blog, check out this post. It cracked me up!
- I loved this post from McMommy on the two best baby shower gifts ever. I really do think that expecting thank you notes from new moms should be outlawed forever.
- Speaking of things that should be illegal…check out Stop Making That Duckface. Who determined that this look was attractive? (Thanks to my friend Shelie for sending me the link to this site.)
- If you are a mom of an older baby/toddler still in a crib, you should read Shannon’s brilliant idea for how to get a few extra zzzzz’s in the morning.
- You really should check out this AMAZING post from Jen on the topic of real beauty. It is a must read and definitely some food for thought on the topic.
- Who’s excited about James Franco’s General Hospital guest appearance??? Me!!!!! He starts this Friday. Here’s the totally cheesetastic teaser promo. I have a theory that he must have been high on something when he agreed to take this part, but I’m glad that he did! (I am actually even more excited to see that Jonathan Jackson has reprised his role of Lucky Spencer on the show!! I pretty much lost interest in the show when he “died” in that fire. None of the other Luckys that they cast had ever come close to his level of AWESOME!! )
- New Moon is just days away people!!! Do you believe it!?!?! If you are a Twilight fan, you most definitely will want to read about Katelin’s encounter with the cast of New Moon. I’m so jealous but also incredibly happy for her!!
- Speaking of New Moon, I’m planning a special New Moon Movie Madness party this weekend (similar to the one I had for Twilight last year.) Basically, just see the movie and then come back here to discuss it. You can also link up with your own review and then mingle around to the different blogs to meet fellow Twi-fans. Sound fun? Good, hope to see you back here on Friday. In the meantime, help me to spread the word:
That’s all from me, leave the link to your Monday Mentions post in the comments.

I really want to participate in the movie madness, but I’m working 12 hour shifts fri-sat-and sunday! It’s tragic, I’m going to have to wait to see the movie. I may just die.

I haven’t even finished reading this post and I have to comment on the “best baby gifts” blurb. I totally agree!!! Being a 2nd time “new” mom writing “thank you” is dreadful. I don’t do them actually. I will send a “thank you” email, and thank the person perfusely in person when I receive the gift, but actually writing a “thank you” note, getting their address on the envelope, finding a stamp and then finding the time (or remembering!) to mail it. UGH, I hate it! So I have made it very clear I do NOT writ them. However, I was recently told by my dad that I HAD to write them to three people. My grandmother, my great aunt and my grandmother’s friend. It’s old school thinking and I didn’t have a choice. I tried to argue my side, but in the end, I lost. My 2nd child is 7 weeks old and I still have to write 2 of the 3 notes.
My 2nd comment is the “bringing dinner” to a new mom. I totally agree, again. However, being a mom of two and not really liking to prepare meals, I buy a gift card to a restaurant in their neighborhood. I give it to everyone now and people have also learned to give that to me as well
It’s great! My husband picks up take-out on the way home from work. I can’t tell you how great my day is when I know he’s bringing home take-out
