It is much easier to keep the house together when the family is not in it during the day. My house used to stay much cleaner but now that I am home with my DD, it gets messy pretty quickly.

Yes, her sister did look gorgeous and the style of the dress is what we expect from Kate. However, can you picture something more like that with long sleeves?

I think it was a perfect and classic choice that will not age with time.

I thought her dress was perfect. She was required to cover her arms and shoulders and I love that she did it with lace so you could still see a little skin. Plus, the neckline was flattering and I thought it was quite sweet she was wearing the Queen's tiara.

For those that thought it was terrible, what did you want to see?

12:56, I have tears in my eyes for your friend who lost her daughter. That is beyond the scope of what any person should have to deal with. I am also so sorry that you have lost many close to you...

Please let us know if you hear of the best place to send money or donations (or anything else that can be done).

Heartbreaking.

Thank you for sharing this. I went to college in Alabama and most of my college friends still live in the state...as the article pointed out, there are belongings scattered across the state. A friend who lives in Birmingham found paperwork from a store more than an hour away in her gutters.

I would love to volunteer down there but am unsure how to make that work with my family situation. As the PP pointed out, we often open our hearts and wallets when tragedies occur in other countries -- I hope we do not forget about our feel Americans whose lives have been literally turned upside down.
