Torn

Posted on June 9th, 2008 in A Call for Advice, Motherhood

I’m torn between my desire to share pictures of my adorable (um…yeah, but I’m a bit biased) children with all of you, my lovely readers, and my desire to protect the privacy and security of my little ones.  This is an issue I’ve debated with myself for as long as I’ve been blogging.  I feel that most of what goes on in the mommy-blogging sphere is safe and on the up-and-up; however, this is a public domain, and I don’t know who might be lurking that I’m unaware of.  As much as I enjoy talking about my children, as much as I would love to share with you their beautiful names, and as much as I would love to post picture after picture of their cute faces, I’m just not sure I can do it in good conscience.

How much info do you share about your children (names, pictures, etc)?  How did you decide what to share?  Have you had any experiences that would cause you to re-evaluate?  Please share in the comments.

Appropriate attire

Posted on June 14th, 2007 in A Call for Advice

Okay, I’m in a bit of a quandary (aren’t I always?). We have a family wedding coming up next weekend, and I can’t find anything to wear!

What is appropriate for a formal, indoor, summer wedding that begins at 8 pm (no formal dinner, just a dessert reception)? Is sleeveless okay? Bare legs (with a skirt and shoes, of course)? Black if the mother of the groom is wearing black? Add to the mix that Matt is a groomsman and will, therefore, be in a tux.

Help, It’s been a while since I’ve been to a dressy event (as if that weren’t obvious)!

Thanks, in advance, for your kind comments and advice.

Update I’ve since learned that the mother of the groom is wearing a sleeveless, cocktail length dress; that helps.
