I had to go to Mexico this morning to order a weird sized picture frame. Cole has been planning his Mexico trip for a week, packing a bag of toys and wondering about the hotel. I explained many times that it wasn’t that kind of trip, that we’d be back before lunch, but he still [...]

New Hair

Sorry for the red eyes, our Photoshop is having problems. I have mostly blonde hair for the first time since 2004. It was time for some change. Cole is a big fan; as he says, he used to have yellow hair but now when he looks in the mirror his hair is black like dad’s [...]

Todd went outside to get some rosemary for dinner. There he found a whole bag full of pomegranates left for us by the Antioxidant Fairy, or perhaps just the Fresh Food Fairy for alliteration sake. What fun!

I know I am not alone, but we had a car repair fiasco. The place we have gone for at least the past seven years–and always been quite happy–has turned evil. I should have known when my guy Joel wasn’t there, but I didn’t over analyze. See, Joel was great because he and Todd have [...]

I checked this book out for Todd yesterday. It is also available on Kindle for the tech dad. I won’t go into how moms don’t get books like this because someone in a family has to be the grown up, though I am tempted. I do think this is hilarious. I always knew there was [...]
Unhealthy Habits

Etsy is a bad thing for me to have discovered. I have never ‘done’ eBay because I know myself and my addictive nature. This is worse. I could browse endlessly. I could buy endlessly. I think of how my friend Kristine should design and sell stuff on it. I think how I have no marketable [...]

Owen is nine months old. In summary:
he eats about the same amount as Cole; not Cole as a baby, Cole now
he got spoiled when he was sick and how only likes to sleep while being held
he talks and sings a lot
he is getting four teeth on the top all at the same time. In related [...]
Burning Question

Is it physically impossible for men to do two things at once?
Why is it an option for them–it isn’t like I enjoy folding laundry and cooking and taking care of the kids and answering the phone all at the exact same moment. It just is.
