stomped on crunchy leaves, was yard sold, bought about 5000 almonds for about 5 dollars, mashed an avocado, called Lola "Loly Guacamole", realized that my new candles actually smell like B.O., purchased a Disney Princess Snuggie, returned a Disney Princess Snuggie, saw 2 giant feathers, missed my angels, wished I could share a funny story with my angels, remembered that my angels probably already knew it, said ...

So guess what? I'm officially part of the waddle club, again! No, I'm not pregnant. Tricked ya, didn't I? Seriously, though. This afternoon it hit me. I'm no more mobile today than I was when I was lugging a 7lb baby around in my uterus. Why, you ask? The infant car seat. Trying to schlep a baby (especially a baby who happens to be ...
When I named my daughter after a Disney Princess,
I didn't take this into consideration. It can get really bad. Yes, I am slowly bankrupting myself one plastic tsotchke at a time.
That’s how I know she loves me.
"This just came on TV. I didn't know they based a character off of you! Impressive." -The Sister [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Z8IdVwK5Y] Oh, and by the way, Princesses + Musical Numbers + Stephen Schwartz + McDreamy=I'm so there.
speaking of glitter,
only my daughter would be completely unable to pose for her "I am 4-months-old-today-photo" because she is too distracted by her gold glittery toesies. Yes, instead of being enamored with my singing, smiling, cheering and chanting, her eyes are glued to her sparkly socks. They are pretty fabulous. Maybe she'll let me borrow. Happy 4 month Birthday to my sweet princess. Glitter for ...
all that glitters
Tonight, as I watched the baby cracking up at my mother-in-law, as they played with her favorite dolly, (which was, by the way, an amazingly precious sight), I noticed that my daughter had glitter on her head. How in the world did she get such a sparkly keppie? My mind raced. Well, I did take a nap today. Did ...
Children Will Listen
It is no secret that I fancy Fairy Tales, Princesses and Musicals. Always have, always will. I did give my daughter a the name of a Disney Princess, after all. Well, I'm sure that it comes as no surprise that an all-time-favorite musical of mine is "Into the Woods", the Sondheim classic that chronicles what happens after "happily ...
best of both worlds
I am a superstitious person. No surprise there. And so, as part of tradition (and superstition, and many other keep-evil-eye-away-itions) we did not decorate the nursery until the baby's arrival. We did paint, and I did glue-gun, but besides that, the room remained empty, only to be filled by our daughter, and the incredible love that was born along with her. Now, this tradition had a ...
if growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I’ll never grow up, not me.
This evening, my best friend, let's call her J, sent me this mobile photo with the following caption: "Pinata for baby's future princess bday parties!" I, of course, responded with, "OMG!!!!! LOVE it!! Well, Sunday is her 3 month bday--let's throw a celebration!" This is the exact conversation that followed: J: "OMG 3 months already wowwwww i can't believe it! ...
Once Upon a Time
"On the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, "Life will never be the same." Because there had never been anyone like you... ever in the world. ... If the moon stays up until morning one day, or a ladybug lands and decides to stay, ...
