(photo by Sarah of www.moderndaymoments.com) Me and this kid? It’s the strangest thing. We’re madly in love in a way I didn’t know about yet. We speak a secret language. We have the same dimple. She’s mischievous in a way I know she gets from me, even though Scott insists it’s his. She looks me squarely in… Read more →

Bed Head.
Dude, I know, right? Cutest bed head ever. But those are her favorite jammies, and have I mentioned this kid counts to 12? I don’t know where the the letter F she learned that. Also, do you know this song by The Jimmies? I now sing it to Dee every morning. Read more →
KaBoom June Gloom.
I don’t know about the rest of the world (because I’m way to lazy to look up a weather report) but the first week or two of June leading up to the official start of summer here in LA are notoriously gloomy. And I know a lot of you have been getting pounded by tornadoes which does not sound like… Read more →
It does that by itself.
I don’t think my heart can take her getting any older. She’s just perfect right this minute just how she is. AGH! What is this crazy intense feeling I feel!? She won’t stop talking. We go to this incredible music class, and she has rhythm. She sings. She DANCES. She says “Hi Mama” every time she sees me and repeats every word I… Read more →
Has anybody seen my can opener?
I’ve written and unwritten bits and pieces of things I think about this issue time and time again. I’m a Southern California liberal progressive (if we’re putting “labels” on things), so I know what kind of eye rolls I illicit when I share my thoughts on Health Insurance outside of the safety of my like-minded social circles. But my nineteen… Read more →
Sandbox Digging Break
Scott’s transforming our tiny yard into Delilah’s wonderland. I’ll own up. These two are growing a bond I have to try hard not to be jealous of. Read more →
I’m not encouraging this.
My dear sweet Mother in Law Ann Marie is a certifiable Mickey fanatic. That’s Scott’s baby blanket that Dee’s appropriated. It looks like “the gene” may have skipped a generation. I think we’re in trouble. And also, THIS. Read more →
Happy Mother’s Day
I asked for rocks for Mother’s Day. Instead what I got was one of the most relaxing and charming afternoons of family fun I could have ever hoped for. And my parent’s haven’t even arrived with the pulled pork yet. Oh, and I did get my rocks. And in the process, since our yard is where grass goes to die,… Read more →
G’Head Girl, G’Head Get Down
Have I told you how much Dee loves dancing? And we’re not talking about swaying and clapping. This girl like moves her feet and full-on DANCES…I mean, at least as well as some of the awkward rejects on SYTYCD. Dee and I started music class this week, and, despite my excitement being at an all time high, the kiddo… Read more →
Neal took this shot of Dee.
I thought you needed to see it. * * * {Also ~ listen to this and get psyched. Tuesday’s the big day.} Read more →
