Kimono kutie

Check out my friend Millie in this cute kimono style sweater that she
made. I especially like the groovy buttons.

Surrendering to Motherhood

A Uniform Story

Recently, the youngest Huffman made an announcement. Asserting her 8-year-old self, she declared she no longer wanted to wear the uniform jumper for her elementary school. Instead she’d wear just the uniform skirt.

Zombie Momology

It’s been Official Huffman Family Policy for a while now: TV and computer games are banned on school nights. You heard me right. So long “SpongeBob Squarepants” and “That's So Raven.” Buh-bye DisneyChannel.com and Neopets.com.

Yeah, I know. We’re the meanest parents in the world. I’m over it.

Congratulations Miss America 2009!

PlanetClaire gives herself a pat on the back for picking two of the top three finalists in tonight's competition!
Congratulations Miss Indiana, although I was really digging Miss Georgia. And how about Miss Iowa making it to 2nd runner up! As second runner up she wins a $20,000 scholarship, and Miss America wins a cool $50,000.
Who said glamor doesn't pay?

Miss America Top 10

Our night is here, my Miss America Sisters! The crown awaits its new owner in Las Vegas, where 52 young women woke up this morning, all with the same thought: 'Let it be ME!'

Speaking of crowns, I liked the reality show "Miss America: Countdown to the Crown."
Sure some of the "games" were a little, OK, a lot, cheesy. But it was a fun way to get to know the girls and maybe get a little glimpse into their personalities. Miss Indiana seemed a front runner, and even Miss South Dakota (That's for you Michelle K) got a nod from the judges, earning one of the desired gold sashes. And we all know that nothing goes better with a sparkling tiara than a golden sash.

Each covets the crown, but who shall wear it home tonight? Here are my top 10 picks.

Miss Indiana
Miss New York
Miss Vermont
Miss Delaware
Miss Georgia
Miss Mississippi
Miss Kentucky
Miss Michigan
Miss California
Miss Hawaii

And my top three:
Miss Indiana
Miss Georgia
Miss Hawaii

Who's going to trade her state crown for the real deal? Tune in to TLC at 5pm EST and find out!
