Last week’s IMG Cleanse topic was gossip, and I didn’t have too many problems tackling that particular brand of nastiness from my Inner Mean Girl. This week, however, was far more of a challenge: taking my inner Comparison Queen down a notch or three.
The daily affirmation for the week was: “I am inspired. I easily appreciate myself and others. I am OH SO GRATEFUL.”

Like ice cream? Of course you do! What a silly question. Like Breyer’s ice cream? Want a chance to win a trip for four to Chicago, $10,000, a private lesson with pastry chef Gale Gand, a year’s supply of Breyer’s ice cream, and have your very own recipe featured on BravoTV.com?
Me too.

Dear Readers,
Once again, Eden Fantasys has let me review one of their tamer items on my blog, a beautiful lingerie set that I could even wear out with a cardigan or shrug, if I was the type to go clubbing. If you are under 18 or in any way related to me, please just click to another page. I mean, the review here is PG-13, but it would just make me feel better if you went to, say, listen to TJ’s Santa call from last Christmas instead.

I was supposed to do some sort of introductory post about the Inner Mean Girl Cleanse before the program began last week, but some of the very reasons I wanted to take part in it in the first place prevented me from doing so. I’m trying not to beat myself up about it, but again, that’s part of my problem. My Inner Mean Girl.
I signed up to be a Self-Love Ambassador for the 40-Day Inner Mean Girl Cleanse. What does this mean? It means that I’m tired of being so hard on myself. I’m not perfect, and I should stop trying to be. I need to stop comparing myself to other women and thinking they’re better than me. I need to stop beating myself up when I make mistakes. I need to accept my flaws. I need to be able to accept compliments gracefully and not be so self-critical. I need to quit the self-sabotage. Does this sound familiar? I think we all do it on some level.
I hope my friends and fellow bloggers will support me on my journey to tame my Inner Mean Girl, and I encourage all of you to sign up for the program as well!
The program kicked off with a fabulous conference call with Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy, aka SARK. If you missed it, you can listen to the SARK call recording online.

A few months ago, I was asked if I would like to review the Radius Intelligent Toothbrush as a Father’s Day Gift. I said sure, but the toothbrush didn’t arrive in time for Father’s Day. I gave it to my husband anyway. As such, it took some time for him to start using it, and even longer before he formed an opinion about it.

Tags: Dear Kid Saturday, grandma, love, sadDear TJ,
You had a very hard time this week. Grandma Kitty went to Cape Cod for a much-needed vacation, so you went to Grandma Debbie’s house while Mommy and Daddy worked. Normally, this would be something that you love. However, it’s gotten a bit more complicated since Uncle Joe, Aunt Meghan, and your cousin Avery moved in with Grandma and Grandpa.
You did not like having to share with Avery – not sharing toys, not sharing Grandma Debbie’s attention. I called to have lunch with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Joe on their anniversary on Tuesday, and you didn’t want to come into the restaurant because you wanted to have private time – lunch with just you and Grandma Debbie. You told her that you thought she didn’t love you anymore.

We’re sitting in on How to Run a Group Blog for Fun, Advocacy and/or Profit at BlogHer ’10. This session is being moderated by Esra’a Al Shafei with Nadia Jones, Michelle Magoffin, and Grace Chu.
“Why start a group blog?”
The speakers all had a variety of reasons for starting a group blog. One wanted to keep adding more and more content. Another wanted to meet a milestone. Another just wanted to blog with her friends.
“How do you make sure your group blog is being updated on schedule?”
