My husband is a wonderful, wonderful man. He has no problem being silly with me. As a daddy, he is as sweet as sugar All in all, a keeper, he is. However, the man cannot surprise me. Maybe it's our deep connection. We do have a sort of ESP. Don't believe me? Here. Here's your proof. However, I believe it is ...
“Delicious,
it's like kissing a rainbow!" -The Husband, after giving the baby a little smooch. Maybe he is getting better with his colors, after all.
Top Chef, Top Shmef
Except, not really. I am still (insanely, insanely) jealous that my parents got to eat a decadent dinner, cooked by none other than the new Top Chef, Kevin Sbraga. Oh, and you know the winning duck dish that he made last night, the one that put him over the edge and secured his victory? Yeah, my mom had that. She ...

Daddy, Ever After
So, as I was browsing the internet yesterday, (read: baby fell asleep while nursing. I had nothing to do but read blogs from my Blackberry) I came across this delicious little interview from the Blogger extraordinaire, The Pioneer Woman, during which she interviewed her rugged cowboy of a husband about all things "hiney-tingling", to use her slang. In ...
i’m a party girl, in my party world
J just sent me this photo, with the caption "We will make this for one of baby's birthday parties!!!!!!!!!!!!" (and yes, she did include this many exclamation points. I may have even edited some out. Maybe!!!!!!!) You know how we feel about our pinatas. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who cares this much ...
no baby, no wig
I came across this little treasure, today. Yeah, I love me some costumes. Yeah, I love playing dress-up. Yeah, I'm all about a good theme. Yeah, I've been planning the baby's Halloween costume since the last time I waddled around toting a Trick Or Treat bucket. But, still... I'd say that Lil Lil Kim is a bit much, even for ...
Always Remember
Today, people across the country, and across the world, are remembering. Today, people are sharing their own memories of where they were when they heard the shocking, horrifying news, on that fateful morning, nine years ago. I know that we did, at breakfast, lingering over our bagels, as a quiet sadness permeated the kitchen. We sat at ...
And the winner is…
with 34% of the vote.... Boho Baby!! Thank you, thank you, to all of you voters out there. I am glad I am not the only crazy one (I kid)! I am happy to report that my husband is now carrying the baby around the house, cheering, "Boho chic! Boho chic!". The dogs have also joined in on the parade. Lola has ...
high (holiday) anxiety
The high holidays are upon us. It is time to dip our apples into honey, and to eat circular foods, and to ring in the New Year (wassup Martinelli's Sparkling Cider?!) with our loved ones. So, as it is with any other right of passage, I have a bit of anxiety. Between now and sundown tomorrow, I must do some serious grocery ...
