Kristen, the lovely and talented designer behind Hoot has decided to give away one of her sweet Simply Baby Prints to one lucky reader… Read more →
Dee’s Nursery: Part Deux
Oh, hi. We totally weren’t expecting you. Come on in. You’ve come at a great time. If you direct your eyes to the bottom right hand corner of the frame, you can see one of the natives making an offering to the beast that lives in her closet. The beast requires {the organic version of} Cheese Nips, and the natives… Read more →
Holy crap this is cool.
So you’re looking at [estonian designer Pavel Sidorenko’s] Smart Kid Conversion Kit, and you’re probably thinking “well, that’s pretty.” And it is. But it’s so much more than that.

Labor of Love
As of this week, Dee’s Nursery – the one we started over a year ago – is finally complete. Holy crap, right? Okay so maybe finished is a little bit generous. Everything is complete, but I still have to clean and photograph the other side…which is currently stacked with boxes of her 0-6 months clothes, which I finally sorted {sobbed}… Read more →

Sweet Child o’ Mine.
The most exciting thing about my new gig over at Cargoh is watching the marketplace fill up with all of these insanely talented people. I try to keep my new-mom-ness from exploding all over my work, so in an effort to save Cargoh readers from having to sift through feature after feature about the awesome kid-related stuff, I’m going to… Read more →
Pump Up the Jam.
Happy Sunday. That’s me, getting ready to go do some Power Pilates , which has pretty much been saving my life lately. Make no mistake. Power pilates is not like regular pilates. Every week I let Lisa persecute my ass six ways from Sunday and I sweat out so much aggravation in the process it’s incredible. I mean, obviously it’s… Read more →

If you dig on blogs about parenting, you really should visit SmonkYou – it’s my favorite Dad Blog {which is like a Mom Blog written by a Dad. Or if you ask Kenny, he’s a male mommy blogger.

Finally. Something to Obsess About.
Dee’s first birthday is less than three months away and I’m starting to contemplate what I’d like to do to celebrate. I guess I should probably consult Scott at some point, since she’s 50% his to shower with love and affection {Shanny, if you’re reading this, let’s talk about that, okay?} but I promised Eva that she could select the… Read more →
