Her skin feels exactly like a warm silk pillowcase." -the baby sis, on how to describe the incredible softness that is the baby's skin.
happy new
Full disclosure: I've now written about 15 different "first lines" for this post. None are sticking. None seem to fit. None will do justice to all that I am feeling. It is the first morning of the first day of the new year, and we have so much to celebrate, but I am tongue-tied. Going from 2010 to 2011 was an incredibly, and unexpectedly, emotional ...
How To Install a Convertible Carseat
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 ...
2 bloggers blogging (or, not blogging, as the case may be)
I am sorry I didn't blog yesterday. I have a good excuse. My computer broke. It's at the Mac hospital. It misses you, so! Mama Gaga of The Gaga Diaries, a favorite mommy blog of mine, didn't blog yesterday. She had a good excuse. Her water broke. She's at the baby delivery hospital. Okay, pun stops here. Baby Gaga was born!!!! I am quite excited, for ...
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.
Save the Date, the remix

As my dear mommy friend remarked recently, we are about to be bidding farewell to the year in which we gave birth. This means that we are ...
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.
“I never not wanted it”
This morning, as the dogs snored from their perch in the windowsill, and the husband readied the house for the impending snowstorm, and the babe slept quietly by my side, I caught up with some old friends. And you know that scene up there? You know, the one in "Ghost Town", when Aidan and Carrie find themselves on the ...

Last Christmas morning, a whole, long year ago, as we stayed in bed and acted lazy, and dreamed of the little girl that would be joining us in the coming year, I never could have imagined the loved I'd feel, as on the very next Christmas morning, my little angel would be snuggled up in bed next to me, sitting straight up, shouting ...
