Today, my little girl and I had a mission on our hands: We had to pick up a very special dress for a very special someone's very special day. (ohemgeemybestieisgettingmarriedintwomonthsahhhhh!!!) So, despite the flooding rains, baby girl and I donned our slickers, rubbed some Moroccan Hair Oil through our tresses, and braved the elements, in the pursuit of our ...
Of mice and men (and women and bunnies).
Remember my bunnies? Yes. Well, saving them has now become my part time job. They have made a home in our back yard, and every time I let my dogs out, I have to hold my breath until I can be sure that there are no rabbits in sight. And then there are the times that I do spot a ...
It’s so hard to believe
that it was exactly 2 years ago, on this Sunday night, that we saw the bunnies dancing. Crazy, man. Just crazy.
It’s my Blogiversary and I’ll give thanks if I want to.
Happy Blogiversary, friends! Here! I've baked you these cupcakes*! Take a bite. Put your feet up. Stay a while. Truly, it is hard for me to believe that it has been a year since I typed my first entry of Mommy, Ever After. I remember that day perfectly. What seemed like a spontaneous decision was actually born out ...
“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, ...
what we have here, my friends, is a little case of sibling rivalry…
Exhibit A: That would be Lola, in the baby's Nap Nanny. In the background, you will see a sliver of Lola's bed, peaking out from the corner. Apparently, a dog bed was not good enough for our little furry Princess. Apparently, someone's a little jealous. Apparently, I've got my work cut out for me.
there’s magic in the night
Last night, after my hot date, I lapped up some vanilla ice cream with hot caramel sauce, got into my pjs, and announced to my family that I was ready for bed. My dad implored me to stay downstairs for a few minutes, so that he could play me a song that he wanted me to hear. So began an ...

sister from another mister
My daughter has taken to grasping onto things. Today, during yoga, it was my ponytail. Which made for quite the interesting Cat/Cow situation. She’s very tactile, And loves to feel things, to grab things, to hold things and to touch things at all times. But, nothing compares to her most favorite object to grab, My beloved Twinkle necklace. Interestingly enough, little does ...
to walk a milestone
Earlier this week, my daughter rolled over for the first time. It was out of the blue. It was tummy-to-back. It was momentous. A milestone. Later that day, I got to thinking about milestones. In the land of mom, it’s all about the milestone. First smile, first tooth, first word, first step. Sometimes, milestones are things we plan for, anxiously awaiting their arrival. A ...
