Can I Move In?
We’ve lived in the same spot for five years, and as you may know, every so often I get a serious redecorating bug. Like right now. I’ve got it bad. Ever since we rearranged the place before Dee was born, I haven’t quite been able to get my living room to take shape. Literally every other area of our house… Read more →
Fuck.
I just buried my face in the hound dog’s fur and cried. I told her I need her to be strong and healthy for a long time. I let her lick my tears. Totally gross, I know, but the hound dog has been with me since Sara, Matthew and I adopted her in early 2002 and last week when we… Read more →
No Sleep ‘Til Brooklyn
I had no idea that a week in New York could be so good for my mental health. Normally I find Manhattan crushing and stressful, but this time, I actually spent very little time in the City I knew, and instead couch surfed around the streets of Brooklyn…trolling coffee shops, vintage stores, and every boutique my feet could carry me… Read more →
Time is Cruel. Mary Kay is Kind.

Pink Dino Birthday Bonanza!
Here’s where I pretend her birthday party was yesterday instead of a week ago and I post pictures of the festivities courtesy of the ever-talented Alex. Dee’s turning two had an immediate and intense effect on our household. Something about hitting the two year anniversary of Scott and I becoming parents made us both feel like we’d FINALLY fucking found… Read more →
Heart of Glass
Every so often it happens. Life gets in the way and I forget why I have a blog to begin with. Like, I forget that it’s not supposed to be horrible and stressful, and that at the end of the day it’s a hobby not a job…I think. But…it kind of IS a job some days. (Well, every day since… Read more →
Cargoh is the Funnest.
Milk, It Does A Body Good. Pass it on.
Remember that Milk Board slogan from the 80’s? GOT MILK really is much more succinct. Anyway, now the Milk Board has followed you to my blog. No really, this post is sponsored by the Milk Board of California. Because California rules and our cows are like, happy and stuff. And also we are really low on cash. Here’s why I’m… Read more →
Because a LOT of People Do It On New Years.
October 5th. The infamous most popular birthday of the year. {I myself have an October 8th Baby so we all know how Scott and I rang in 2009.} Today, more women will give birth than on any other day of the year. Are you ready for me to kick that horse again? 15% of those Moms will be diagnosed with… Read more →
