Shannon over at Luv In The Mommyhood has created a pattern for you to make your little retro girl (or, even yourself…if only I hadn’t used all that white leather on the nursery chair) her very own Sloane jacket {which, not that Sloane needs a last name for children of the 80’s, it’s Peterson, and she’s the lady friend of Ferris… Read more →

Handy Daddy
Potty Training was a sitting duck for Dee. Conquered it no problem. I really had to do surprisingly little. The girl didn’t like stewing in her own juices, and she was ready and willing to tackle the alternative. But getting her to wash her hands? Has been an ongoing process. A battle really. She just DOES NOT want to do… Read more →

Again, he declined (though I kind of love the way it so clearly pains him to say no to… 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 →
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 →
