So…. who are you???

I found No Frills Women today. It is

Jen Singer’s blog about the No Frills way of life. You know, for women who shave up to the hem of their Capri pants, because why bother shaving what no one will see?

I needed to read no more… connection in an instant! However, I couldn’t resist, I read further…”Skirt the Issue”

The other day, I saw on TV those women who wrote “What Not To Wear.” You know, the two Brits who accost women in the mall and tell them what’s wrong with what they’re wearing.
They said you should wear shorts only to the beach. Otherwise, wear a short skirt.So the next day, I wore a short jeans skirt. I’d like to say it was because of what the authors had said, but really, it’s because my shorts all needed ironing and the skirt didn’t. Still, I wanted to see why they thought the skirt was better.

That day, while squatting down to tie my son’s shoe at the kindergarten, I fell over and flashed everyone in the hall. Later, my neighbor’s dog, a chocolate Lab with a head the size of a good-sized hedge, had a look-see up my skirt.

When I got home, I plugged in the iron.

Been there - almost! I wore a cute, casual, khaki, cargo-style skirt at Olivia’s birthday pary. Not so much… I didn’t end up flashing anyone (I hope), but I was stressed about it the entire time! I am pretty sure I’m a no frills kind of gal!

Jen Singer also has a fun website for moms MammaSaid.net. She touts it as the Stay-At-Home Mom’s Coffee Break. I think I’ll have fun with this site!
