The Infinite Wisdom of Winnie The Pooh

This week, A.A. Milne, the father of Winnie The Pooh, celebrated his (posthumous) 132nd Birthday. Pooh himself turns 88 this year, having now bestowed his infinite wisdom on easy SIX generations. The inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Owl, and of course Winnie The Pooh himself have been mutual friends of our great… Read more →

We’ll Talk About My Raging Case of Feminism Later.

Spoiler Alert: I’m going to talk about things that happened on Season 4 Episode 2 (or are they calling it 3?) of Downton Abbey. Don’t read any further if you haven’t seen it and don’t want to know what happens/be outraged. You guys. You guys. I don’t remember kicking Julian Fellowes in the balls, but I must have, because it’s like he hates… Read more →

I Got A New Wallet And I Love It

It’s made of Tyvek house wrap, and this particular limited collection is the love child of paperwallet’s collaboration with Pianofuzz.

Not only did it solve our overflowing headband problem (headbands have been the only form of hair-restraint Dee will allow for quite some time) but it’s oh so pretty. Like a little sculpture for her bedside table. Which makes… Read more →

Mensch With A Kindle

Remember that little guy? Our Mensch? He promised to give away a Kindle Fire to the Mensch out there who got up to the worst antics in the post-Hannukah season. In true mischievous fashion, he’s tardy in announcing his winner. All him, guys. All him. Lisa Klein’s Mensch wasn’t quite as mischievous as ours — he managed to keep his… Read more →

Wunderkind Lost

I was going to be really important and famous and rich by 30. In fact, I had an age corresponding to each and every goal on my mental list. I was going to be a force to be reckoned with, you know? The person by which my high school classmates would measure their own successes. But I was going to be… Read more →
