Hi Deborah,
Thanks so much for your message! Oh, I wish I could go to NY, too! I went last month (sans kids) and three days wasn't enough. There's a cute tea place at Chelsea market. Have fun!

Thanks, Deborah! I just picked up the magazine and guess what ad is smack in the middle of the article? "ShrinxHips: Having a Baby Changes Your Life. Don't Let it Change Your Hips." Gah. Now I might have to write about THAT.

Great to see you. Let's definitely do a little stroll in the park soon!
