I’ll admit, Sometimes I get sucked into the vortex of homeliness that can go along with being at home most days. I’ve been known to wear tennis shoes around the house with outfits that were clearly not designed for such footwear. One day, I even forgot that I had them on and accidentally wore them with capri pants to a friend’s house . She was kind and didn’t mock me.

But if you ever see me wearing something that looks like these, please drive me immediately to the mall!

Loren and I saw this SNL commercial right after Aidan was born, and we laugh about this all the time. He teased me about this the other day as I was clearly trying to counteract the “mommy-look” tendency. I found some camo shorts at the Gap outlet, and I brought them home to try them on. I asked him if I was trying too hard to look young, and he just smiled and said, “You’re not a woman anymore, you’re a mom!”
