Four Fast Fun Things

canada (Mar.14.09)

So what's been happening on the web this week?

1. Well, a company called Baby Bangs surfaced with a Coming Soon website. If it's not a joke, I'm guessing they'll be selling hairbands that help your baby look like she has hair -- AKA a baby toupee. Wasn't that an SNL skit? [Buzzfeed]

2. Babble released a list of 50 Moms We Love to Hate. Octomom is number one. Caillou's mom ranked hilariously in the top 10. [SavvyMom]

3. I discovered Demi Moore's Twitter feed, watched some videos of her and Ashton almost missing a plane (he was Facebooking his mother) and then surmised that having a much-younger husband is not that different from have one the same age or older. (Except, you know, maybe their libidos actually match up.)

4. The New York Times published a piece on when Grandma's just not that into you featuring Bowmanville, Ontario writer Catherine Connors of HerBadMother.com and her mom. I am semi-familiar with this concept: While my mom is super involved (almost to a fault sometimes), my MIL would never break dinner plans to come babysit. And I'm OK with that. I love them both for different reasons, and I think grandkids can learn a lot from a grandmother who puts herself first.
Happy weekend!
