I vowed on principle never to buy Jessica Simpson shoes.
I know she doesn't really design them, but for criminy's sakes. Her signature is inside them. And I don't know why it bothers me, but it does.
But I was desperate and I needed to look halfway decent (read: wear clothes that actually fit that didn't look like pajamas) and the shoes were cute.
There. I said it.
And I actually walked almost 20 city blocks in them brand new.
That's pretty darn good.
But that's not really the point. The point is that Liz and I were on Martha Stewart Radio's Morning Living to talk about safer toys (you know, remember all those toys that are poisoning our kids). We had 15 minutes of fame today, and it was fabulous. Plus we got to tell everyone about our new safer toy guide (in case you were looking for toys sans poison).
If you're having as hard a time as I am keeping up, make sure to subscribe to them in your RSS feed reader (www.recalls.gov). Seriously. There are new ones everyday.
And then, guess where I went?
The Clubmom offices! That's right -- I visited where all the magic of Cafemom and Clubmom happen. It's extremely glamorous. Okay, it's very homey and down to earth. And I'm very proud and happy to be a part of their organization.
So, there you go. That was my fantastic day in New York.
Now if only I could have met Jake Gyllenhall in person (and not from behind the window at the Today Show).
I know. I'm being greedy. I'll stop.
So anyway, I'm curious. Are you a clubmom and/or cafemom user? If so, tell me your groups?!
It could have been worse. It could have been Ashley Simpson shoes.

The shoes are fine. Just tell me that you weren't wearing Jessica Simpson hair extensions.
Congrats on the radio show!

Wow!
And when is the CMP safe toy button ad coming out for us to put on our blogs?
And yes, those really are cute shoes.
