Did you feel that? That would be the new chill in the air, as the night air has finally succumbed to autumn. Did you hear that? That would be the crunch of the fallen leaves under your feet, as the branches are starting to yellow, soon to be set on fire, before growing bare and cold. Did you smell that? That ...
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.
I totally dig your $1 fro yo, but your customer service…?
I couldn't write all morning because I was busy building a brand new closet system. I couldn't write all afternoon because the closet system decided to collapse on top of us, just as we were putting on the finishing touches. I couldn't get out of PJs all morning because this was happening outside I can't get out of PJs now, ...
I didn’t realize
that at 5 months old, my daughter would already be a big enough blabbermouth that she puts her mama, a queen blabbermouth in her own right, to shame. Let me just say, that I'm a talker. I chat. I gab. I have been known to have some diarrhea of the mouth, at times. Sometimes, when it spreads, it can even be called word vomit. Shocking, ...
Love Song
And just when I thought that I'd really created a monster.... Me, to Husb, "Do you want to hear the new Sarah Bareilles song?" Husb: "Who is Sarah Bareilles, again?" Me: "You know, she sang 'I'm not gonna write you a love sooooong...'" Husb: "Oh, I thought she was someone we went to High School with. All I can ...
Sesame and the City/Broadway and the Daddy
Today, it was finally chilly enough for the baby to wear her favorite shirt. I got her dressed and ready to go, and just as we were heading out the door I noticed that she had seriously outgrown the skirt/leggings set that I had put her in. There were about 6 inches of exposed calf from where her leggings ...
giving credit where credit is due
Today, my husband managed to surprise me. I know that I have mentioned before that I am notorious for predicting my husband's surprises, and therefore foiling any attempts to give me a shock. There is this cosmic connection we share, a keen ability that we have to read one another, that makes any surprises, large or small, nearly impossible. For ...
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 ...
Do you want to know what happened before I met my Prince Charming?
Then make sure to go to Fifty First (j)Dates and check out Date #23, I'll Take the Meatballs, With a Side of Instability. You just may know the author. You just may know the guy I wrote about. I hope not. Oh, and 2005 JDate guy? I hope you're not reading this! And, if you are... well, thanks for the steak!
busy and bandaged
I'm sorry. I've been neglectful. Please don't think that I don't love you anymore. I do! Oh, how I do. It's just that I've had some things going on. I'm ok. I promise. Just going through lots of band-aids and kisses and, perhaps, bowls of chocolate ice cream, and, definitely, old photos. Specifically, old Lola photos. You see, Lola made me a mommy. You see, Lola is going to be turning 3. You ...
