You know, I don't consider myself an expert on many things (besides, you know, Sex and the City and Dirty Dancing, and Disney Princesses.) and therefore don't write many "How To" guides. However, this one, I've got in the bag. How to Install a Convertible Carseat: Step 1: Buy a cute carseat once your baby has grown out of her ...
and he shall be a good man
This was our lullaby tonight [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLMotU8Tu9E] I had Sir Elton sing the baby to sleep, as he just welcomed his own new baby into the world. His new son is named Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John. And little Z.J. Levon was born on a Christmas day. No, seriously. He was. Coincidence? I think not.
And baby Mii makes 3
Funny story: Just this evening, K and I had a hankering for some good old fashioned Donkey Kong Country. (This, apparently, is what happens to people who have been cooped up for 72 hours.) As a kid, Donkey Kong was my THING. I played my Supernintendo game so often, and with such skill, that I beat the game within a ...
Today/a Haiku
Snow falls noiselessly as we sleep like little bears. Shhh. Don't make a sound.
The Story of Us
So, I could totally write about how today, we spent an hour watching my baby feed herself chicken and peas, and how her face now looks like a green cubist portrait; I could write about our family jam session to Eric Clapton's "Bell Bottom Blues", and how when I serenaded my husband, I saw his ...

And, today, there are two, count 'em, two, birthdays in the family: My baby sis and mother-in-law. This makes for a very busy weekend. Fine by me. This also means lots of cake. Fine ...
Happy Engagemeversary!
4 years ago, today, was one of the most magical, special, memorable days of my life. 4 years ago, today, My husband and I became engaged. (oh, and just in case you're not sure what that link there is, that's the proposal story, in all of it's parts. Enjoy! I did!) It's hard to believe that it's only been ...
4 years ago, right this minute:
I was singing in a family talent show, as K and I were performing our now infamous duet of "Suddenly Seymour"; I was about to play Cranium, which K and I would win, for the very first time, triumphing over my previously undefeated parents; I was in St. John; I was blissfully unaware that the next morning would bring me some "unexpected ...
Dear Mother Earth,
I really needed that extra 2 10 minutes in the shower tonight. Please don't be sore. I hope that I am still the Earth Princess. I'd really hate to be dethroned. Truly and Tree-ly, The Earth Princess p.s. did I mention that I am the daughter of an environmental lawyer and an environmental educator? p.s.s. If I am dethroned, can ...
Once upon a noon-time cheery,
there was a girl. Let us call her Rebooka. When she was 3, her parents took her out to a nice restaurant for lunch. Being the precocious young girl that she was, she asked for a sip of her mother's red wine. Not seeing the harm in one little sip, her mother obliged, and granted her daughter that small taste.
