At 1 am Dee crawled into my bed and curled up next to me. She put her little face as close to mine as possible and whispered… Dee: “Hey Mommy…I want to tell you something.” Me: “Yeah baby?” D: “The Doggies go poo poo on the grass.” Me: “Yeah, baby…they do.” D: “They go poo poo in the house, too.”… Read more →

I Made a Freaking Challah, and Other Thoughts About My Jewishness.
A few weeks ago Delilah started “Transition” class. That is, for the uninitiated, pre-pre-school, so to speak. Almost immediately, I realized I had found what I didn’t know had been missing from our lives. Jews. No really. As you may have deduced from my frequent swapping of Moses for any other prophet, saint, or deity in common turns of phrase,… Read more →
Happy Valentines Day
I was recently reminded of this very early post of mine…which kind of has to do with love…(not really — it’s kind of gross, but hilarious-gross so you should still click it.) Second, here is my favorite recent Instagram of my Valentines ~ It’s crazy that five days from now, Scott and I will celebrate our THIRTEENTH dating-versary. Our relationship… Read more →
Park Etiquette and Picking Up Mom Friends
It’s one of those things there should be a book about. In the hospital, they show you how to get a good latch and change a diaper, but they don’t say boo about the challenges you’ll be met with as you and your little one venture out to the local park. First off there are the basic questions. Are you… Read more →
Oh, Internet. I just want to talk about Dee’s first trip to Disneyland.
Sunday morning Delilah woke us up saying “I want to see Mickey and Pluto and Minnie and Goofy and talk to them. And Donald Duck.” Dee George is really super in to talking right now. She’s pretty sure she knows all the words and she is just amped up to use them. She forgoes shy-ness on most occasions in favor… Read more →
You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Potty.
So, uh…Potty training sucks, huh? I was sitting here recently panicking about why my child wasn’t miraculously out of diapers when I realized…maybe just purchasing a training potty wasn’t enough? Dammit. So I got to work. Luckily, in the wake of Christmas, learning that pretty much everyone I spoke to bribed their children with chocolate to get them to use… Read more →
Big Girls Don’t Cry – They Get Twin Beds
It’s time. Dee’s moved out of our beloved Scott-made crib, and into her very own big girl bed. Except right now it’s just a big girl mattress, because, well…buying a bed would be like…WAY to easy and no where near time consuming enough. So naturally we’re planning to make one. Here’s the tip of the idea-berg. Ever since my sis… Read more →
Christmas, I Have a Bone to Pick With You.
Since the girl started eating, Christmas, I have taken great care to keep SUGAR a minimal part of her diet. And I’ve done incredibly well for someone as disorganized and non-health conscious as myself. She’s flourished, and for a long time we avoided having to discover if Dee had inherited Scott and Maegan’s sugar gene. {Meaning that…while I can eat… Read more →
Dee Light
Toddlers rule so much harder than babies. Decking the Halls for both Channukah and Christmas has been an insane blast with a talking, walking, sparkles-obsessed Dee. “Mommy, look at my Christmas Tree – it’s so colorful and beautiful.” Yes. She says that. It’s pretty much the greatest thing ever. Uh, also did you see my killer new smart cover for… Read more →
