A lot of the folks closest to us have made mass exodus from Los Angeles over the past five or so years. My beloved Lindsey is no exception. She hasn’t lived in lalaland since before Miss Dee entered the world, but somehow they manage to have a connection — as if somehow Delilah inherently knows that Linds is our people… Read more →

This #Project365 Thing Is No Joke
Have you done one of these photo-a-day things to yourself? It’s kind of oddly stressful, huh? I turn around and I’ve missed three days of posting before I know it. I’m not used to this kind of discipline. But don’t worry (no one would worry) — I’ve got the photos, I just haven’t had the time to edit, select, and… Read more →
This May Be The Single Awesomest Thing I’ve Ever Seen Online (Brace Yourself)
Shannon over at Luv In The Mommyhood has created a pattern for you to make your little retro girl (or, even yourself…if only I hadn’t used all that white leather on the nursery chair) her very own Sloane jacket {which, not that Sloane needs a last name for children of the 80’s, it’s Peterson, and she’s the lady friend of Ferris… Read more →

He was tall and thin and theatrical and when I finally arrived… Read more →
No I Love You More
We’ve been crazy lucky with the families in Dee’s preschool class. We attend a Jewish preschool and St. Valentine’s Day {which, honestly no one still calls it that, Preschool Director} isn’t exactly on the curriculum. So instead, (since the parents in our class are awesomely active on our email list and always in touch — hooray technology!) the majority of… Read more →
And They Called It Puppy Love
They share the same interests, he gave her her very first flower {“…because it’s purple, Delilah! Your favorite color!”} and he started calling her his girlfriend without prompting. I guess it’s a good thing we get along with his parents. Read more →
Sun Catcher
For her birthday party, I bought a 100 pack of clear balloons. I used about nine. Sometimes (like this morning), she asks for a balloon so she can play catch in the house (on account of it’s the only kind of catch that’s allowed in the house.) I’m always happy to oblige. {Oh yeah, we painted our living room wall… Read more →
