Katy Perry on Sesame Street

So the newest controversary for celebs today is the appearance of Katy Perry on Sesame Street.  There are differing opinions from parents all over, even those without children have been vocalizing their opinions.

-It's offensive to see someone so poorly dressed on kids show!

-Her dress was not too short or low-cut at all!

-The kids are more interested in Elmo than Katy!

-I need to protect my kids from this kind of sexualization!


I do have a 2 year old who is infatuated with Elmo.  I've got a feeling she'd be more enthralled by the red fuzzy monster dashing around the room, instead of the popular celebrity up on the screen.  She'd go ga-ga over the puppets and care less about the actual person on screen.
What is your opinion of her attire and Sesame Street's decision?

Blushing like tomatoes

In our attempt to "Go Green" and share our green thumb (or lack thereof) with the world, my husband and I purchased a hanging tomato plant!  You know the type in the green basket, hang it upside down, and out the plant drops as its vines grow.  It was half-dead for weeks, yellow leaves, pathetic green oblongs (supposed sprouts) and just an overall let down.

After weeks of watering, heat wave, misty rain, blaring sunshine, windy drear and so forth, the glory of the upside down tomato basket reveal mother nature's luster to us!
