“Don’t put that on Instagram” she says, as I snap pictures of her digging into the cookie dough we’d just made together. She’s long had final say of what bits and pieces of her life I can share online. “How do you know about Instagram?” I ask, fully aware that she scrolls through my feed liking photos but never having… Read more →

This Is Your Child On Cadbury Egg
It was like she’d never seen sugar before. Silly rabbit. Read more →
Flashback Because I Feel Like It
Is it weird that I look at these pictures and miss this baby? Man I want another kid so bad. We’re not there yet (for obvious reasons) but my hormones haven’t gotten the memo. BABIEEEESSSSSS. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. If that didn’t totally gross you out, check out this recipe for my favorite kosher for passover chocolate covered matzah with sea salt and… Read more →
Puking While Parenting Is An Out Of Body Experience
I was laying in bed with Delilah when it happened. I had to barf. I’d eaten an early and ill-advised dinner and it was coming back to haunt me. I sat up, then doubled over, feeling the cold sweat creep over me, unable to ignore the fact that yes, yes I was about to be violently ill. That’s when I felt… Read more →
Awesome DIY Customizable Party Favor Crown
A four year old’s birthday party is no joke. This is no longer an adult party where kids come and there’s cake. This is a full-blown kids party with pinatas and crafts and party favors, and everything I wasn’t prepared for last year, I was totally one hundred percent braced for this year as Dee’s birthday drew near. (Writing about… Read more →
Who’s That Lady?
She’s four. My girl is FOUR. I don’t blog nearly as much about our adventures as I used to because at some point over the past four years the baby in my belly became her whole own person, and I became my whole own person once more. Gone are the days when Dee and I were attached at the hip.… Read more →
DIY Family Tree Collage
Who knew that my kid getting Homework was going to turn out to be so much fun? Delilah started Pre-K a couple of weeks ago (I know, right?) and this past week, her very first homework assignment ever was to create her family tree. She was sent home with a worksheet that looked like this: We were very excited. Dee doesn’t have… Read more →
Camouflage
This leaf bug took up residence on our back slider all weekend long, and I couldn’t stop geeking out staring at him, watching him (or her) breathe, and hoping that the three inch monster didn’t decide to launch into flight while I was nose to nose with him checking out his sticky little feet. When Delilah woke up the first… Read more →
Our Insta-Summer
It seems unbelievable that summer is already over and Dee’s school career has begun, but it’s true. The beauty of Instagram is that even when my Project 365 kicks the bucket (I swear I’m trying to come up with a way to get back on that horse, but the damn thing keeps bucking me off) I still manage to keep… Read more →
The A-Frame Barbie Dream House (Circa 1978)
For Christmas this past year, Scott Mom brought out the pristine 1978 Barbie Dream House that had belonged to my sis-in-law Maegan. We were all overwhelmed that they’d decided to bestow this treasure on Delilah, but obviously Dee most of all. Well, maybe Dee most of all. I did take 147 pictures on my iPhone. And then promptly became too overwhelmed… Read more →
