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 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.
Beauty and the Birthday Cake
Thank you, to the very special reader and friend, who alerted me to the Food Network cake baking challenge this evening. The theme? Beauty and the Beast. I may have a certain affinity for this very special Princess. And let me tell you, these cakes were more masterpiece than they were confection--they were unreal. My apologies for the quality of these ...
On this fine Saturday, I
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 ...
Today,
I felt sleepy. I also felt loved. Today, I made a friend, made banana bread, forgot to add the bananas, forgot my own name, had a pedicure, had the hiccups, had the occasion to discuss "existentialism", had the occasion to discuss "diaper cream", made baby food carrots, (orange-ya glad I didn't say banana?) talked to myself, answered myself, introduced my dad as "Zayde", introduced my Mommom as a great-grandmother, introduced my daughter ...
long night’s journey into day
The reason why I haven't written yet today, has a little something to do with my baby's decision to have a party last night. I should have suspected that something was up when I overheard her, speaking in hushed tones into her mobile phone, after her evening bath. I thought I heard her saying, "yeah, party over at ...
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 ...
I’ve known my best friend for 20 weeks now,
and in those 20 weeks, she has gone through, approximately, 1,680 diapers, she's been to 2 different states, she's had exactly 1 bottle of formula and nursed 2,000 times, she has kissed one boy (or, licked his hand. that's 1st base in baby.), and received a grillion kisses from her mommy and daddy, she's slept in her own room twice, (with her mommy ...
crazy is spelled b.a.r.b.i.e.
Is it weird that I've already purchased a set of big girl bedding for my 4 1/2 month old daughter, who has yet to sleep in her own crib? Yeah, I didn't think so either!
