Ok! Finally getting to this today (weekends are never as uneventful as I'd like them to be), and I'd like to announce that Laurie is the winner of a signed copy of MY FAIRE LADY and a special gift!  

Here was her comment on her perfect summer date:


"My husband and I don't get to spend a lot of time together because we have a little one. So, my perfect summer date would be to go down to the Beach, ride the ferry to Balboa Island and wander the island eating Balboa Bars. On the way home we'd hit up our favorite dim sum place. I've learned to cherish all of the small moments we have together. A simple, but fun, day out is the best day." 
I chose this because it went straight to my heart. I have a little one too (see Changes post), and I totally understand how rare it is to have some time alone with your husband. I also really liked that she said she's learned to cherish the small moments. When you're a new parent, this is a good thing to remember, to make all the little moments count. So congrats, Laurie! I will try to get in touch soon!
