My book tour is officially over, with just a few local stops left. It’s been a blast, but I am thrilled to be returning to my couch and yoga pants, where I really belong.
While I was in NYC last week, I filmed a segment for Better TV, which will air this Thursday May 17. Check your local listings to see if it airs in your market. I also filmed a bit for The Revolution (which will air June 18) and was interviewed on Fox and Friends. Whew. Here’s that clip:

Huge thank you’s to Barista Kids and my friend Marlene from Idea Shoppe for the kick ass party they threw me last Friday. It was so much fun, and I can still almost taste the cupcakes. Here are a few photos (Courtesy of Chanda Hall) and more pictures are over on their website.
Lollipops + stickers = Personalized lollipops
Black twigs + Paper flowers. Loved these!
Scary Mommy cookies. Too pretty to eat. Almost.
Thank you, too, to everyone at Wee Chic Boutique in Baltimore. They take hometown support to a whole new level.
I’m going to take a nap now, for a million years.
Good night, everyone.

Congratulations on finishing your tour. I was so tempted to come see you in Montclair, but I would have had to blow off my daughter’s dance recital which she’s been rehearsing for for about a year. It was a tough call, but in the end, I had to choose my daughter. Three hours of children doing ballet, tap, and jazz—I’m still not sure it was the right call.

We hope you had a blast in NJ – we certainly loved having you here. I can’t tell you how many people have told us how thrilled they were to hear you read and meet your charming self.
Relax in those yoga pants, lady. You deserve it!

When I have a book tour, I’ll have to come to Baltimore. We are so going to laugh.
By the way, in the midst of writing this comment, my husband yelled from another room, “What year were our kids born?” Seriously? I so need a book tour. Or a book. Or a tour.
Welcome home, Jill.

Loved meeting you in Montclair, and while it is nice to lose the yoga pants on occasion, i can see how by now they must be seriously calling your name!

I saw you on TV (I’m sorry I don’t remember what channel or what show, but given the subject of your blog/book, I’m thinking you totally GET that) and you were so personable and refreshing!
Congrats to success that is earned and deserved!

Jill: Count me as one who was thrilled to meet your charming self in Montclair, NJ last week. I was thrilled to score an invite from Barista Kids! Once I got over (quickly I might add) the fact that I was the oldest mom in the room I made a beeline for you! I so enjoyed talking with you and thanks for autographing my copy of your book!
