{If you follow me on Instagram, sorry that you’re kind of getting this story twice. Please accept this awesome musical mash-up as my apology. But she just.kept.going.on about the costume.} Yesterday evening, Delilah suddenly stopped what she was doing, eyes nearly bugging out of her head as she remembered she had been saving something for DAYS that she’d wanted to… Read more →

Dee-stagram
Tomorrow evening I leave for five days in New York. I will miss this face. Lately, I’ve been all over The818’s Facebook page, adding steaming fresh piles of content for you to waste time on. Have you given it a like? It would make me feel warm inside. Read more →
Sweet Little Lies
It’s no secret my girl is tempestuous. So, there are a couple of areas in which my formerly go-with-the-flow laid back husband and I have had to institute a “zero tolerance” policy with little miss Dee. Namely hitting. The girl hits peers, dogs, and full-grown adult men indiscriminately and without warning…not to mention me…in my face…it’s like she took the… Read more →
Some Things Just Shouldn’t Be Photographed And Posted On The Internet. (Even I have standards.)
[First of all I have to say that today is Dee’s first full day of school/camp without me having to be there, and THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME. I feel weird. I feel liberated. I feel psyched. I don’t feel sad. Is that wrong? It’s hard to feel sad when kiddo is so excited to go, and we reunite reinvigorated, right?]… Read more →
I’ll Have A Heart Melt On Rye
This week, Scott threw his back out. Which sucks. Except then this happened: He’d been laid up for a day or so, and she asked for what had to have been the thousandth time for him to come play with her. Again, he declined (though I kind of love the way it so clearly pains him to say no to… Read more →
Tiny Imelda Marcos
You know when Moms say their kid loves something but you really know that what they mean is that they love that thing and force it mercilessly on their kids? Well, I swear to you this is not one of those times. THE GIRL LOVES SHOES. When we go out I have to steer clear of any shops where there… Read more →
Hip to Big Kid Stuff
A couple of months ago, Dee and I were at Super Target (where I now do so much of my grocery shopping because HOLY HELL is it well priced there) and passed by the newborn section. She spotted a bear rattle and {like she says about pretty much everything cuddly she lays eyes on} she announced: “Mommy, I want that… Read more →

Bedtime is for Suckers
Last night, it was Scott’s turn to put Dee to bed (which lately consists of fielding her desperate shrieks for a few minutes before she either conks out or we cave to her pleas to sleep in Mommydaddy’s room — how did bedtime go so wrong?!). But this time, he emerged without so much as a peep from Sweet Dee. … Read more →
Hump Day Humpty Dance
I made a new blog header and it has the same picture that I just posted this morning, and well…my mania dictates that I have to bump that post down, you know? So, what’s up you guys? How’s your day going? I’m doing pretty well. Have you heard my friend Eric’s band Tanlines yet? You should listen. Their new album came out yesterday and they’re… Read more →
