So, as you may have guessed, I haven’t quite returned to the land of the living yet – having a 5 day old is pretty exhausting, but I’m loving every minute of it (well, except the part where it feels like someone drove a Mack Truck through my lady business. Seriously.) Anyway – I just found out that The818.com is… Read more →

Hey There Delilah
Delilah George was born on October 8th, 2009 @ 3:42am. She’s perfect and I’m exhausted. Details to follow. Happy Birthday little one. I love you too much already. (photo by Sara.) Read more →
The Cute, The Unnecessary, and The Frivolous
It’s easy to get lost in the sea of baby gear that you start to convince yourself you’re going to need. Snuggle Nest? Miracle Blanket? Video Monitor? Wipes Warmer? Seat Saver? Vulli Teether? It’s maddening, and lately I find myself staring over the edge of the panic cliff wondering if I’ve just outfitted my baby with a room… Read more →
It’s not easy being green.
Being knocked up and hormonal is kind of hilarious when you can step outside yourself and take a moment to see the absurdity of the things that freak you out.

Feeling the Love.
It’s an incredible feeling when the people that you love all come together to support you. Yesterday, my friends and family threw me the most beautiful baby shower I could have ever asked for. It was amazing to spend a day giggling and sharing excitement with so many of my loved ones – after a busy summer getting ready for… Read more →
Who doesn’t love free stuff?
Today is my baby shower – which I couldn’t be more excited for (even though I haven’t a thing to wear…if I could run around naked for the next month, I swear I would…but I won’t, because I don’t take pleasure in terrifying small children, and I don’t want to have to tell my daughter about the time Mommy got… Read more →
Birds of a Feather
Isn’t it beautiful? It just arrived, and even though the crib hasn’t landed in it’s final spot yet so we can’t hang it, I couldn’t be stopped from putting it together to gaze lovingly at it. It’s our Birds of a Feather Mobile from IGE, available at Elsewheres (and other fine stores, blah blah blah.) I’m loving how it looks… Read more →
Modern Highchair Bonanza
There are some pretty stunning high chairs out there right now, and as I drool over them, picturing one in my dining room, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites. First (the chair that I dream about at night) is the Bloom Fresco Contemporary Chair. Reminiscent of Eero Aarnio’s Ball Chair, this swanky seat for your little one… Read more →
