Here’s some advice I’m happy to take. Heading to Steamboat Springs for a week with snowboards in tow!

Am wondering if her match.com profile also includes the tally of dogs, cats and turtles.

The perfect gift for the man who wants people talking about his accessories.

Am torn over which parent I’d rather be….

With a pending trip to San Diego this week, and snowboarding at Steamboat Springs soon after that, life certainly is feeling awesome!

Neve Campbell Was Not Driving This Car

Our small household of 3 recently expanded when a friend and her daughter moved in. I saw this plate a few days later , and took it as a good omen.

Wish us luck!

Looks like even our tax preparers are feeling a bit effed.

Must Be Marc Warnke’s Car

Michelle — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:28:10 +0000

If you know anything about Marc Warnke, you’d jump to the same conclusion I did, presuming that the driver of this Infiniti was indeed the Family First Entrepreneur.

But….Mark is not from Kansas, and he wasn’t driving around North Scottsdale yesterday afternoon. Am not sure if he’s even an Infiniti kind of guy. I’m guessing he’s more likely behind the wheel of a Jeep or minivan.

But I’m not sure, as I’ve never met him – directly.

Marc is the author of Options Not Obligations: Enrich Your Personal Life by Rethinking Your Financial Life. He’s also a professional speaker and Life Coach with the philosophy that investing in business relationships can bring you life balance and financial stability in our uncertain world.

I’ve been motivated and touched by Marc’s blog posts over the past few weeks. A hungry crowd – myself included – is awaiting the upcoming release of this book in April. You can pre-order a copy today. If you’d rather get to know Marc a little before investing $14.95, you can follow his adventures on twitter: he is @marcwarnke.

Parkour Is Not For Us Old Folks

Michelle — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:50:34 +0000

My very energetic daughter is loving the parkour classes at Scottsdale Gymnastics. I’m loving the Friday night activity that leaves her exhausted, thus eliminating any requests about staying up late. On a more serious note, I’m thrilled with the confidence she’s building, and the fact that a mild injury no longer evokes tears and agony – she’s now decided to be tough around the “big boys,” as she’s usually the only girl in the class!

Never heard of Parkour? Also known as Free Running – was featured in opening scene of Casino Royale. Here’s a cool video from Julie Angel of Parkour Generations.

While I do love watching the Parkour class and even envision myself flying over those barriers sometimes, I’ve concluded that - since I’m flirting with forty – that snowboarding should remain my one “crazy mom” activity.

McLovin Spotted At Starbucks – Or Was It Frank Kern?

Michelle — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:47:35 +0000

Well, OK, so I didn’t actually see McLovin (or Kern)….I only saw this vanity plate outside Starbucks. If you’re not familiar with dear McLovin and the hilarious story involving his fake ID, be sure check out the movie and other Superbad stuff.

For those of you familiar with marketing genius Frank Kern, you already know about his self-proclaimed Superbad-ness and that the title is well earned.
