Wordless Wednesday, Halloween Retrospective Edition

My dress-up retrospective... cuz everyone's doing it. And who am I to argue with some costume-related fun? Oh, and if you're in the mood for a little fun and games, try to guess which of the following photos were snapped while I was pregnant. Hint: There are more than just the obvious one. Oh, and oops. Toto, we're not wordless, anymore.

Who am I?

So, so far, my Halloween Costume consists of the following 2 items: a purple bandeau bikini top (yes it's the same one) and a pair of mint green Hardtails from 8th grade. Who am I?

It is she.

I am special... I am a teacher, which, in many cases, means that I am sort of a professional mom. I wipe away tears, wipe away boogies, kiss boo boos and fall in love, each and every day at work. I am special... I have been working with children "professionally" for the past 13 years (which is half of my life), and can safely say that ...

an ode to a Bubbie

Bubbie, dearest--how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I'd wax poetic (har!) about all your charms, but don't have enough time in my days. A Bubbie devoted, you have been, since the dawn of this baby's time, when your favorite little star was a mere twinkle in your eye. Before she was born, you knitted for her, cooed to her, and ...

Catch-38

"The next day I tried on two labels; Classic Vuitton and New Mommy."   -Because, when you're sick in bed with the stomach flu, you might as well catch up with your  homegirl, Carrie Bradshaw.    

super sweet six month old sick day

Half Birthdays are BIG in our family. But, you already know that. And, I bet you can guess that no half birthday is bigger than the half birthday; the one where the baby turns 1/2 year old.
