Nestled in one of my iVillage emails yesterday was one of the greatest things this pregnant woman has ever laid her eyes on. By now I’m sure you’ve seen the proliferation of various Ryan Gosling sites. I don’t mind anything with Ryan Gosling on it, but as a former marketing agency professional, this one was [...]

Ah, Monday. Today C and I are being super lazy and recovering from a trip home from Virginia yesterday that involved 90 minutes of solid screaming, another 90 minutes of sporadic crying and general unhappiness, a severely cracked cell phone screen and torrential downpours. To say it was a stressful drive is putting it way [...]

I missed the boat posting something mushy about my husband on Valentine’s Day. Truthfully, we aren’t that big on the holiday. My card to him this year had the word “fart” actually printed on it. I’m so serious. And it was perfect for him. We get bombarded with family birthdays in February – our sister-in-law, [...]

These kind of days always start a little “off.” I don’t always realize it when I’m basking in the fact that it’s 7:45am and Carter is still sleeping, but by now, I should. He slept till close to 8 this morning and woke up a complete nightmare. It’s been one of those days where you [...]
building a life around you

One of the parts of parenthood that I am marveling in right now is that my son is still too young to make his own decisions. Well, for the most part. He still decides, despite three timeouts for doing so, that he wants to climb onto the kitchen table. He also decides to throw his [...]

I have always been a messy person. Particularly in the bedroom when my closet explodes on my bed and I don’t put things away for awhile. The clothes pile up and my solution is to throw everything in the laundry and deal with it when the clothes come out of the dryer. I do a [...]

So are chicken nuggets part of a healthy pregnancy diet? Because if they’re wrong, I have no desire to be right. I have been inhaling Carter’s dino nuggets like my life depended on it. I don’t know if it’s as a result of swearing off McDonald’s nuggets forever and ever and ever, you know, like [...]

One day a week Carter goes to spend the day with my in-laws. When we are ironing out the details about which day he goes, my mind is going nutso making a list of all the things I can/should get accomplished on a day where I’m baby-free. These days are always on days I go [...]

I am constantly playing catch-up in the blogosphere, the Twitter-verse and in my laundry room. Catch-up, catch-up, catch-up. Life is such a rat race, aint it? Every now and then I stumble upon an article or a blog post that makes me tear up, either with laughter or just real, genuine “I know exactly how [...]
