For Christmas my husband bought me a lovely pair of slippers designed by you. He found them at Kohl's and paid the designer sticker price of $14.99 for them. A definite splurge for us.
Imagine my surprise when I opened my gift and saw these darling Mary Jane's-
It's been roughly 10 weeks since Christmas, and I've happily worn them every day since. That's where I went wrong. Here's a picture of my beloved slippers today-
Apparently, your shoes are made for moms like this-
Or for moms who sit on the couch all day eating these-
(Don't get me wrong, I love bon bons, but don't have time to eat them.)I'm not that type of mom. I use my feet to walk. I also use my feet to chase, sprint, leap, and dance with my boys. My day is filled with constant motion.
I wish I could be more like her-
I wish I wore aprons and high heals on a daily basis. I wish my house was always perfectly clean, and dinner was hot and ready when my darling arrived home from work. However, I'd quickly forgo all the above wishes to have my boys listen attentively to me like Wally and The Beav.
This picture best reflects my offspring-
Are you catching my drift? I think your slippers should come equipped with a sticker on the box that looks like this-
Then 'real' moms like moi wouldn't have to resort to duct taping their soles.
Please accept this invitation Vera Wang, to spend one day at my house.
I have a pair of your slippers waiting for you.
I'll even provide the duct tape.
Sincerely,
Amy
(a real mom)

Brilliant!!!
What a blog!
Maybe the best ever (right after the Great Khali rant).
I love your blogs because they unfold like a good book....you can't be topped.
I agree with Derek - this was a good one! Made me laugh & I can completly relate!!
And what did you decide to do with your hair??
wow, that was a grrreat blog Amy! keep it up! ;)
You need work boots. Red Wings. With the Vibram Sole. No steel toe, its overrated for the safety it provides and it makes the boots heavy. But definitely Redwings. Get Oil Tanned, they are waterproof so they are good for mopping. And make sure you get pull-on style, less lacing equals more time for chasing!
Oh, you make me laugh! Love that pic of warrior boys - that's hilarious. And I love your "Lazy Moms" logo.
I wear my Crocs slippers ALL the time and everywhere. They are uglier than sin but so comfortable. In the summer I switch to my Crocs flip flops.
And with the paint all over them, those boys REALLY DO look like yours!
