It’s a weird feeling, this pregnancy thing. My digestive system is under siege…starting from about week five when I started praying to the porcelain god multiple times a day, and although I’m grateful to report that that initial unpleasant side-effect of pregnancy has subsided, it’s given way to much less discussable symptoms that I’d rather not share here. The infamous… Read more →
Category: Baby Fever
Oh, Fuck it.
I’m pregnant, and I love this diaper bag. (It’s Stella McCartney for LeSportSac, and it’s at least a season old, so now I can’t find it anywhere.) I haven’t been able to come up with a good way to break our big news…and now I’ve been dragging it out for over a week, so there it is. 16 weeks. Due… Read more →
Amy and Goose – the setup.
This trip to NY is proving wonderful for many reasons. The ladies of 224 were reunited under one roof. Dashiell can now point in response to the question “Where’s Morgan” without having to think about it too hard. And Amy and Magnus (or “Goose” as Scott likes to call him) are getting married tomorrow. Today, after a lovely diner breakfast… Read more →
Happy Birthday Miss Eva
When I call her my “Beauty Queen” she calmly corrects me and tells me she’s a princess. She’s FOUR years old today, and she’s got to be one of my favorite people on this planet. By a stroke of fate (an impromptu weekend visit to spend some time with my very pregnant sister before she popped, and the only return… Read more →
Birthday Suit

It’s enough to make a girl’s uterus skip a beat.
It’s no wonder I’ve got baby fever. This is just some of the crap I have to deal with on a regular basis. (That last photo is of Sara trying to entice me to have a baby by showing me all of the cute little baby things I’d get to buy….And I didn’t even have any pictures of that tiny… Read more →
Chili Con Cone-ay: Part Deux
Three types of chili (turkey, bison, and veggie) four types of Cone-ays (molded aluminum “cones” [FAILED], rolled cornbread “pancakes” [delicious, but FAILED], Belgian Waffle Cornbread Cone [MAJORLY FAILED] and Popover pans [SUCCESS!]) we learned that Chili Con Cone-ay is a fun and delicious appetizer, but is ultimately impractical as a meal (due to the miniscule amount of chili the cone-ays can… Read more →

Here’s to the year of doing.
It was an adventure in cooking. Details to follow. Read more →
It’s been a very long night.
After a five hour drive we arrived home to one very sick, bad dog (and a clueless Sophie.) Madden recently did a two day stint at the vet for a freak jaw-locking incident that almost cost our girl her sight, and tonight her counter hopping habit, combined with the fact that she’s still weaning off the Steroids from her… Read more →
