Before Dee was born, I was skeptical of our need for a bottle drying rack. First of all, I planned to be breastfeeding, so I didn’t think we’d be washing and drying too many bottles. Second of all, thanks to my BFF Ellen, I have a brand new fancy (whisper quiet) Frigidaire Dishwasher, so I’d just be popping those [few… Read more →

Mommy, Me, and Some Crazy Yogi.
There’s an old wives tale that goes something like this: If a woman is radiant and glowing during pregnancy, she’s having a boy. However, if the pregnant woman looks haggard, and her appearance fades, she’s pregnant with a girl… as girls are said to steal their mother’s beauty. (Little snots.) Well, wouldn’t you know it?

Happy 2010

Have you seen this face?
Can you believe I made that kid? In the past few weeks, my sweet Dee has gone from tiny little person larvae, to full blown baby. It’s awesome. I knew this girl was going to have personality from the first time she played bongos on my cervix, and holy-baby-jesus-in-a-manger is it starting to show. She’s a laughaholic. I’m actually concerned… Read more →
Well Hello, Internet.
Well hello there. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve been thinking about you.
