party of five
I always say that I don’t like OPKs (other people’s kids)(a term coined by bitetherabbit back in her blogging days), but the truth is, I do like kids. I really should just admit to it. It’s easy to...

Blurb: putting memories on paper
A couple years ago, I put the first couple years of my blog (2004-2006) into a book. I wanted something on paper just in case the internet decided to self-destruct. What? Better safe than sorry! I’m...

Safeway + Open Nature = Deliciousness
I don’t often get product review opportunities, and usually when I do find an email about one, I skim it and delete it because there’s really nothing in it for me and they’re usually products I don’t...

it’s only words, and words are all I have

all she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth
I pulled Liliana’s other front tooth out last night. It was hanging by a thread. She was scared, but I had her lay down with her head on my lap. Kaylie got me a piece of paper towel, and one yank...

just call me the grinch
So, I’m not a huge fan of Christmas. I’d be happy to skip it altogether. I just don’t see the point to trees and decorations and presents and all the holiday/Christmas crap. I don’t see what it has to...

my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day full of first-world problems and...
I really should not have gotten out of bed this morning. The moment I opened my eyes, I knew the day was going to suck. Sometimes I can just feel it, okay? You can call me pessimistic, but I’ll just...

on giving up the business of blogging
I quit. I quit that side of blogging. The side of blogging that has anything to do with ads and/or brands. When I wrote my very first blog post eight-and-a-half years ago, I knew nothing of things...

How I Met Your Mother is Friends’ little brother

goals for twenty thirteen
So, the holidays kind of killed me, as I’m sure they did everyone. Then, on New Year’s Day, my sister showed up at my door, and as awesome as that was (it was, she really needs to come again soon), it...

it’s funny how photos can give one a panic attack
Except it’s not. I have a love/hate relationship with going through my photo archives. I read this post by my friend Suzy about not wanting to be a “real” photographer and it made me think of when I...
