thank you for the new

Thank you for all that is new. In Judaism, there is a blessing called the Shehecheyanu. Traditionally, you say the Shehecheyanu to mark the start of something new, for every first, at the beginning of a Holiday, for a birth, on an occasion to be grateful for.... I think you get the gist. This is one of my favorite blessings, and growing up, ...

“A Friend in Need is a Friend, Indeed!”

I think that someone was feeling a little need to raise her coolness cred... I received the following BBM at 2:28 this morning. I bet you can guess who it is from. "Just want to let you know that I quoted "Big Rock Candy Mountain" drunk right now. FYI." If you guessed the baby sister, you'd be correct. Oh, ...

true love’s sis

This evening, not long after dinnertime, and just after bathtime, and right before bedtime, the baby and I squeezed in a little video-chat time with my baby sis. You see, before the baby could bring herself to fall asleep, she needed "True Love's Kiss" from her favorite Aunt, which, around these parts, is a special smooch that is reserved for only ...

Cold Feet

So, determined to stick with my plan, I let the baby fall asleep in my bed, with the intent to carry her into her crib. Baby steps. I placed my hands under her to lift her, and stopped, as a giant pit appeared, out of nowhere, in my stomach. I burst into tears. "I can't do it! It's too soon! She's grown up ...

Beauty and the Bubbie

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlaQn22GHCY] This week, The Disney Vault was pried open, as Beauty and the Beast was released in High Definition. I knew that my mom had pre-ordered the movie from the Disney Store, because that's just what Bubbies like my mom do, but I happened to see a display for the new DVDs in the grocery store, being offered with a promotion ...

Empty Nesters

Do you remember a couple of months back when I declared that my baby would be spending her first night in her own crib? Well, all did not exactly go as planned. She did not, in fact, spend that night in her own nursery, nor has she spent any other nights within those four walls. It just hasn't happened. Do ...

which which is which

This evening, I watched Clueless, which made me feel nostalgic which made me remember dressing up with my girlfriends which reminded me of how they Always made me dress as Amber which irked me which reminded me of how I'd be all huffy as I'd blast my Clueless CD and dance around like I was at the infamous Valley Party, the memory of which made me ...

I like Princesses, yes I do…AN UPDATE

As I explained earlier, I was having a rather Princessy morning, with my socks and cup and and fabulous Cinderella/Ariel/Aurora Band-Aid... That was until my baby woke up from her nap, spotted my pink, princessy bandage, narrowed her eyes on the target, reached out and ripped my Band-Aid right off of my skin. No pun intended. No exaggeration. No mercy. I ...

I like Princesses, yes I do…

I just realized that I am currently wearing my Belle fuzzy socks, drinking out of my Belle cup (which, by the way, was a Burger King giveaway when I was a child, and I still use it), and sporting a Cinderella/Ariel/Aurora Band-Aid. I like Princesses, how 'bout you?

what happens while wearing pink peace sign jammies stays while wearing pink peace sign jammies

I had a rockin' Saturday night. I just got home from a sleep'under' party. I wore my brightest pink pjs, had my hair in the highest high pigtails, and trudged out of my house in fuzzy pastel slippers. It was perfect. We sat, nestled by the fireplace, drinking beers and playing games, and I felt like I was in college again. We ...
