Can you believe I made that kid? In the past few weeks, my sweet Dee has gone from tiny little person larvae, to full blown baby. It’s awesome. I knew this girl was going to have personality from the first time she played bongos on my cervix, and holy-baby-jesus-in-a-manger is it starting to show. She’s a laughaholic. I’m actually concerned… Read more →

A Tale of Two Holidays
Forbidden love yields great results. Sophie always gets depressed around the holidays. Hannukah Oh Hannukah. We prepared a feast. Dee’s excited…but she doesn’t know why.I do. (The big one’s hers.) Read more →
Well Hello, Internet.
Well hello there. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve been thinking about you. These past six weeks have flown by, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat down and started to post a funny little anecdote or share a swoon as I’ve been getting to know and falling madly in love with this… Read more →
Namesake
In digging through old family photos in hopes of finding some solid evidence that my daughter got at least *some* of my genes, something about this random shot plucked at my heart strings. That’s Delilah George’s name source (yes, apparently that’s the opposite of Namesake – I googled it) Grandpa Georgie (my Dad’s Dad) with his wife Beverly and my… Read more →
It’s not easy being green.
Being knocked up and hormonal is kind of hilarious when you can step outside yourself and take a moment to see the absurdity of the things that freak you out. A couple of weeks ago, Scott and I were making dinner (mostly he was) and laughing together, and all of a sudden I burst into tears. He looked shocked for… Read more →
Huge in Asia
Check out my super hot Sister-In-Law Maegan (without whom I would be sitting in the middle of my nursery surrounded by the contents of my daughter’s closet sobbing and rocking back and forth.) She’s featured in Vogue Girl Korea for her brilliant over-the-knee boot spat DIY, and general awesomeness. Way to go Maeg! Read more →
Domestic Heaven
So, I almost deleted this entire blog by accident this morning, and MAN, I would have been BUUUUUMMED if I had done that. Thankfully my new MacBook is smarter than I am (as opposed to my old MacBook which was a freaking glorified paperweight) and it stopped me before my placenta head took out the only writing I’ve done about… Read more →
Feeling the Love.
It’s an incredible feeling when the people that you love all come together to support you. Yesterday, my friends and family threw me the most beautiful baby shower I could have ever asked for. It was amazing to spend a day giggling and sharing excitement with so many of my loved ones – after a busy summer getting ready for… Read more →
The First Born.
Scott and I are spending the weekend shacked up at my folk’s house while they’re in NY. And when I say “shacked up” I mean “slaving away all day cleaning our place top to bottom including but not limited to steam cleaning the carpets while our dogs play in my parents yard until we crawl back over there late at… Read more →
So tired.
It seems like just yesterday that I was in Berkeley with my Sister awaiting the arrival of my youngest niece, Paloma. Now Lolo’s a fiery toddler poking at my “tumm-uh” (as she calls it) seeming to understand that her future playmate is gestating in there, while big Sis Eva gives my belly hugs and kisses, and even whispers conspiratory secrets… Read more →
