Two years ago, today, I saw Rent, in it's final week on Broadway. One year ago, today, I danced with The Tribe at Hair. Today, I spent the morning playing peak-a-boo with my 4 1/2 month old, over and over and over, again. I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love, Now I know you can rent it, A new ...
all we are saying,
is give peas chance. Can you guess which new veggie we tried tonight? And by we, I mean the baby. I wasn't getting near the stuff. Despite my aversion, she seemed quite smitten. What a champ! Her vegetable of choice was not by accident. Although it pained me to switch her off of sweet potatoes, (oh how we loooooved our sweet potatoes), I ...
in a blink
It's amazing. This week is my daughter's 20 week birthday. 20 weeks. In thinking of the significance of this week, I can't help but to think of another 20 week milestone. It was at 20 weeks pregnant that I found out that we were having a baby girl. That was a whole 40 weeks, the length of a whole, entire pregnancy, ago. How ...

You may remember driving while pacifying and the new rules of the road that govern the streets of the Land of Mom. Well, today, I realized a new rule: Driving While Rattling. You see, my normally pleasant, giggly girl decided to scream during our entire 10 minute segue from Point A to Point B. 10 minutes may not ...
a hard day, with some glaze on top
I must say, today was a long day. It started early, it included some turbulence, perhaps a few tears, and a tired mommy at the end of it. However, I feel blessed to have a husband who has shown me a light at the end of the tunnel... ...in the form of a surprise doughnut for dessert. Sometimes a girl just needs ...
Is it still considered back-2-school shopping when it’s for an infant?
We all know that craziness is part of the parental territory. I've always loved back to school shopping. So, I couldn't resist. Take a little peek... So, the above is just a small glimpse of the back2schlgear I'm currently washing/drying/folding/arranging in a certain lil lady's nursery. Call me crazy. Call my daughter "Fashionista-in-training" And do you also remember the specific breed of craziness, ...
Mommy’s got a question for ya.
It's about freckles. You see, this summer has been a bit more indoorsy than usual. That's what you get when you mix a new baby + excessive excessive heat warnings + my husband's skin tone, which I would describe as beige (OK, just off-white, but I'm being kind.) And so, my normal sprinkling of freckles have been kept ...
A typical morning in the Land of Mom.
You know those mornings, when you get to sleep until 8, and wake up, in your favorite, freshly washed pair of jammies, and walk into the bathroom to find that your hair, which can have a life of it's own, in these warm, summer months, has dried into pretty, soft, curls, and you feel kind of good about yourself, so you grab your ...
Memories
Maybe it's a new mom thing; Maybe it's because I'm trying to hold onto every moment, to take in every everything about every minute, as time seems to be racing by; Maybe it's just me, but, just this week, I've been overcome and overwhelmed by memories. They keeps sneaking up on me. Like when I was searching around in the lazy susan in the ...
