I haven't had one in a long while. <br /><br />My kids hate being sprayed by sunscreen: major Sarah Bernhardt action if I dare to spray them or ask them to wear their hat. <br /><br />I love the Heidi Swanson Kale salad with toasted coconut and kale and tahini dressing. YUM! Yours looks good too :)jjiraffehttp://jjiraffe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-86572622853210895112012-07-17T18:27:42.467-04:002012-07-17T18:27:42.467-04:00I have had a few professional massages and many fr...I have had a few professional massages and many from my husband. I have a gift certificate for one that a friend gave me after Abby was born in 2009 that I still haven't used. I should probably get on that... It's just hard to find the right time.<br /><br />I have given them to my husband and my kids. But I have never massaged kale. Honestly I don't think I have ever touched kale or eaten it, unless I didn't know that I was.<br /><br />I don't love getting sun-screened, because we are usually in a rush when doing it, so I don't find it relaxing. Its a nice way to think of it though. With my pale Irish skin, I have to use it pretty much all the time though.<br /><br />As for my kids, I am lucky that they accept sunscreen to be just part of our routine and they don't fight it much. Sean is old enough (8) now that he can mostly put it on himself. Abby loves getting hers on, because she gets to be like me and her big brother, which sounds like your daughter. :)<br /><br />What a fun post! I love that via NaBloPoMo this month we are getting to see so many sides of you, your life, your family and your outlook on life. :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175833982955486083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-51461757076993789172012-07-17T16:29:20.863-04:002012-07-17T16:29:20.863-04:00I love massages, but haven't had one for month...I love massages, but haven't had one for months. *sigh* as for the sunscreen, we now have to put it on our flailing one year old before daycare. That smart black pencil skirt I decided to wear to work this morning?

I give my Hubby a back, neck and shoulders massage every once in a while. I need to start doing that more often.<br />I don't like putting sunscreen on myself, but if I can get someone else to do it for me it's great.Emily @ablanket2keephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398858102692984237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-3405267620381379502012-07-17T15:38:06.095-04:002012-07-17T15:38:06.095-04:00I love massages and I never knew kale does too!

Other than swimming we just do big floppy hats and cover up in the sun.Mud Hut Mamahttp://www.mudhutmama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-58956975666442729492012-07-17T14:39:33.107-04:002012-07-17T14:39:33.107-04:00Ah, sunscreen. My kids are really fair and by the...Ah, sunscreen. My kids are really fair and by the end of the summer my daughter tends to look like a fully baked NJ housewife, so we sunscreen relentlessly. One thing that helped a bit and wasn't such a hassle was letting my daughter pick the sunscreen. Whole Foods stocks about 5 varieties of "Alba" sunscreen. It's not in the top tier for chemical-free, but squarely in the second-tier and pretty cheap (about $8). We went and spent a good half hour smelling and sampling all 5 flavors until she finally settled on Lavender. I think something about having a little control over what is a very physical process helped. Just a thought. And if there are someplace sunscreen is not likely to be reapplied (i.e. my in-laws) they are only allowed out in spf 50 clothes.<br /><br />And yes, massages are the best. But I've only had 2 in my life. Some day I do plan for more.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243054875237959038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-31868607964430844422012-07-17T14:01:14.500-04:002012-07-17T14:01:14.500-04:00I love getting a massage more than almost anything...I love getting a massage more than almost anything in the world (exclusing my family of course). I always ask for gift certificates for a massage for every holiday. I literally have dreams about it sometimes...there is just nothing better to me. I do feel bad for the poor person giving it to me though because I'll bet they need a massage sometimes too and probably never get it!<br /><br /><br />I love the shower story!manymanymoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953231355870217701noreply@blogger.com
