I have no need for this, but I think it is one of the cutest pregnancy shirts I’ve seen. So I thought I’d share it with those of you who might have some use for it! Most pregnancy shirts that I see on celebrities annoy me (e.g. Britney Spears), but this one…this one is just perfect. By disco belly™.

Go there. Read. Laugh. Most of them make me LOL, but one made me gag: “HILLARY TAKES HER UNDERWEAR OFF BEFORE TRYING ON BATHING SUITS”

Some of my favorites:
HILLARY INSTALLED KAZAA ON YOUR WORK COMPUTER
HILLARY TRIES TO START THE WAVE AT BASEBALL GAMES
HILLARY NEVER PUTS A COASTER UNDER HER DRINK

I love etsy. Here are a few reasons why:

From Chet and Dot:

From Nut and Bee…GUINEA PIGS!

From Red Mush:

Today in Oklahoma it is 8 weeks before the last frost! And that means…indoor seed starting for me! I love this time of the year, when things come alive again and I get to plan my garden for the spring/summer. I’m usually a fall girl, mostly because that’s when my birthday falls, but spring and summer are really “growing” on me.

Are you planning on planting this year? Flowers? Veggies? Both? I really can’t wait and I would love to hear what other green thumbs are up to!

Because many of you are fairly new readers, I thought I’d link to an older post where I talk about being on a Match.com pop-up ad. Yeah, yeah. Check it out.

I’d like to encourage you all to visit Rocks in My Dryer and read her latest post about meeting the young boy she sponsors through Compassion International. And please, consider sponsoring a child through this incredible organization. The money you give doesn’t disappear into some large account that gets dispersed in who knows how many ways. No. The money you give to sponsor a child goes to that child. Take a moment to look at their website.

Here’s an excerpt from Shannon’s post:

We sat down to eat, and his eyes were as wide as saucers.  This was not only his first visit to the city, it was his first time to eat at a restaurant.  He’s nine years old.

We began to go through the backpack full of goodies I brought from home.  His eyes nearly came out of his head.  He couldn’t believe the clothes (they were a perfect fit) and his mouth hung open at the $1 solar-powered calculator.  He must have said “thank you” to me a thousand times.

The Compassion worker from his project in the village made the four-hour drive with him, and she served as our interpreter.  She and Dissan together told me his story.

He lives in the village, in a mud hut.  Both his parents died last year, and the relative he was sent to live with is very sickl.  So is his six-year-old brother (Dissan is healthy).  Because it has rained so much in Uganda the last few months, the front wall of their hut has washed away.

This boy, this precious boy with the golden smile, does not have parents, and he does not even have four walls.

…

I told him that I promised we would continue to sponsor him through Compassion as long as he needs us, until he’s an adult.  I gave him a long momma hug, which he eagerly returned.  I whispered in his ear the blessing I say over my own kids before they get on the bus each morning:  May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face to shine upon you, may He be gracious unto you and grant you His peace.
