What the heck, Lands' End? (Or, as Raines would say, "Wha EE heck??") I thought I had left you behind years ago....back in my childhood when I would brave Upper Michigan winters in your Squall Jacket and snow boots.

First of all, I absolutely love your blog! A friend passed it...
Mamas, I must confess. One of my outfits in our Wearing Workout Gear Beyond the Gym article (sponsored by Champion) was blatant copy of the outfit that this little cutie is wearing.

When S initially asked me to contribute a few posts to ANMJ, I was really surprised. Flattered, but surprised. I appreciated her confidence in me and decided to leave the comfort zone of my own personal blog (where I live under the assumption that I am the only one reading it) and share my voice here.
