{125 Swimming Pools by Jenny Odell} The other night, I came home from a late afternoon meeting and Scott suggested that we all go for a walk. Together. The five of us, including the two dogs, one of whom is still a puppy. “You know…to maybe help all of us burn off some energy.” Living with a toddler is a… Read more →

Dee Light
Toddlers rule so much harder than babies. Decking the Halls for both Channukah and Christmas has been an insane blast with a talking, walking, sparkles-obsessed Dee. “Mommy, look at my Christmas Tree – it’s so colorful and beautiful.” Yes. She says that. It’s pretty much the greatest thing ever. Uh, also did you see my killer new smart cover for… Read more →
What the ef is a limitation?
I have fibromyalgia. Do you know what that is? It’s really super lame. I was diagnosed with it at 23 while working in a soul crushing job, pretending I didn’t day dream about JUST HOW BADLY I’d have to get hurt to not have to go to work anymore, but not be like…permanently injured, and watching my body go through… Read more →

Love Is a Many Splendored Thing
The other day, Delilah was asking about Madden…our German Shepherd who died suddenly of kidney failure last month. Dee’s only 2, so she isn’t really developmentally able to grasp death yet (trust me, I asked like every expert in ear shot.) But she is old enough to have memories and articulate her thoughts. …And she’s telling us all the time… Read more →

I Threw My Fucking Back Out, And Also Cut Your Crap.
{Photo unrelated but awesome.} You guys…am I 100 years old? How the hell did I get old enough to throw my fucking back out? Oh that’s right. When my kid started weighing more than like 10 lbs and starting insisting that I pick her up all the time. And the girl has no mercy. She doesn’t care that when I… Read more →
Kitchinspiration: Thanksgiving Leftover Muffins
So, I didn’t have the forethought to take good “during” photos for you, but a couple of hours ago, staring into my refrigerator, I’m pretty sure I had a stroke of culinary genius. (Or Bakerary Genius. Are they the same?) Sitting there on the second shelf? Leftover pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce…but no mashed potatoes or turkey to go with… Read more →
