>Well, it was time for a change around here (I think you all have effectively saved me from the plastic people, for one thing. Thanks!), and the lovely and talented and fabulous-despite-her-broken-foot Izzy agreed to make it happen. What do you think?
In other news, today I’m sending you over to the Nashville City Paper, because I wrote my first column there about That Rafting Trip. Sure you know that I fell out of the raft, but I haven’t told you the first word about my life-threatening wildlife encounter or my harrowing 15-foot leap to certain doom….
So please go check it out! I’ll be your best friend…
>It looks great! I love the picture. Heading off to go read the article now…
>Love the makeover. Bruiser has a look on his face that says ” I can not believe you have my naked butt as your header”.
>i LOVE the new banner! love love!
>header? banner? header? banner?
>Ha ha, Jessica. I was so paranoid about that butt that I Photoshopped everything even resembling crack right out of the shot. Now he’s like a little Barbie baby. 😉
>oh, i love it!
>Looks gorgeous!
>LOVE the new banner!
>Looks amazing.
>LOVE. Just, LOVE.
>loving the new look, girl. Bruiser is looking at you like you are crazy though.
>I love it!!!
>Wow. If I put that big a photo of me on the front of my blog, no one would come. You, however, pull it off quite nicely!The blog looks great!
>BEYOND awesome. you saucy wench.
>diggin on the new header. looks awesome!
>And there I was all … she paid professional models??? … oh no, wait a minute! Love the updated look.
>LOVE it!
>Fantastic new design. The looks on both of your faces are priceless!
>I love the new look! Bruiser’s face is priceless and you are looking great!
>Brilliant new look! And the look on Bruiser’s face is priceless.
>You look amazing and too pretty to be wiping ass 🙂 LOL Bruiser honestly has a look on his face like “seriously, what the fuck mom?”
>Very nice, but I think Bruiser is either a little concerned or confused.
>Bemused, I think. 🙂 Bruiser does not like the diaper changes, and he was definitely wondering why mommy looked like that and what the hell was going on!
>Oh Lindsay – that picture is AWESOME! Great job Izzy!
>Lovin’ the sexpot mama look!!
>It’s great Lindsay! Look at you two Babes!
>LOVE IT!
>Love the new look girl! Going over to read the article…
>I hate you because you are so beautiful! Jealous!
>The article was great! You are one brave momma! Your memories of your mother made me think about how fun I am with my children. No, I don’t do roller coasters anymore but one night my 13 year old and I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning laughing at pranks on You Tube!
>Great header!
>This is now the coolest looking blog on the internet. I love it!!
>Totally hot mama. LOVE the look on Bruisers face!
>”Ma, stop posing and wipe my ass already!”Love the new header!
>I found your blog not too long ago and have enjoyed reading through all the archives, and I love the new header, but may I just say that you are ANNOYINGLY beautiful? Oh, not too annoying, more like an inspiration for me to do my hair once in a damn while.
>Ha ha, thanks, but I totally do NOT look this way in real life, which is why Bruiser is looking at me so strangely, I think! It was fun dressing up and I went out on a date night afterward, so I put The Look to good use! 🙂
>New header rocks. You look very serious about wiping Bruiser’s behind. It is a very serious job.
>LOVE IT! I swear, all of our hubbies would probably ask you to give a class or something. They will want us to look like that when they get home from work! But I think we’re safe. Mine doesn’t read. Much….!
>Well Ms. Lindsay, let me say that is this a gorgeous new look and though I have only been one of our readers for a few months now, I throughly enjoy all of your posts. And I hope that the Hubs liked the new look for Date night.
>” I was so paranoid about that butt that I Photoshopped everything even resembling crack right out of the shot. Now he’s like a little Barbie baby”Ok now that’s just funny! Love your stylish new pad!
>FANTASTIC!!! Like a movie poster!
>Who are you looking at anyway?
>You look fabulous, and Bruiser has the best expression on his face. One could only hope that diaper changes were so glamorous.
>Love the new header…but it seems a bit large to me. Vertically large that is.
>FABULOUS.
>Hey Lindsay, I said it on twitter and I’ll say it again. You have just redefined Mommy Blogger for the world. I salute you. SAH-LUTE!
>Oh my God, that photo is *brilliant*.
>OK. That is awesome and brilliant and badass all rolled up into one.
>WOW! This looks awesome!
>Love the new look. I love black and white images.
>tres jolie.be sure to save it for the child’s prom date in 2023!!PS I would love to meet you next week. 😛
>I love love love it.Izzy is da bomb (wait, is it still cool to say that? was it every cool to say that?).
>very vogue.
>OMG Barbie baby had me rolling. Buhahaha.You’re still hot.
>I concur – Bruiser definitely has one hot mama!! Love the look –
>LOVE the header.Congrats on the new gigs too.
>It looks great, and the look on Bruisers face is totally perfect. Congrats on the column too!
>Oh, did you change something?
>Hawt. Also? Reminds me of Nancy Botwin in Weeds. Don’t know if you watch that show…but its a compliment. ;)Love it!
>Absolutely LOVE it!
>OMG – you are gorgeous and don’t down play it! Awesome picture of you and Bruiser.I’m that Mom who is always first in line for the roller coaster or the parasailing (2nd time doing it but never.again), or rappelling down the center of a 400 foot cave. I like my son to know I’m not a scaredy cat!
>LOVE IT! It’s a little edgier and the pic is priceless.
>this is a great new look!
>L O V E the picture and new look. How sassy you are!
>Ummm…as a stay at home mom, how do you manage to fix your hair, put makeup on and wear fancy jewelry…or is this a purely southern girl thing? You always look so nice. Me? I WORK and can barely get myself to put makeup on in the morning. But…as a Midwestern girl and from the farm it’s almost expected. Daisy dukes and bikini tops anyone?Seriously, love the pic.
>It’s fabulous!Don’t be pissed when I steal this… literally, down to your face, body and baby for my new header.
>You look like a gypsy princess of some sort– like you plan on reading some tea leaves right after you finish that butt-wiping…
