In my constant search for the perfect baptism* dress for Arabella I came across this beauty. It’s silk, hand smocked by Isabelle Garreton (who makes the most drool-worthy dresses. Look at that smocking!), size 12 (new with tags) and it’s for sale on ebay for $9.99. Yes, you read that right. I almost passed out […]
You remember my post about the phases of blog relationships? Well, this week I had a chance to go all the way with Jennifer, the (soon to be) Baby Making Machine. She was as cute and funny and darling as she is on her blog. It was wonderful and I had a great time (hope […]
I decided not to go with the Mountain Dew cupboard pulls (I know, such a pity). Instead I’m thinking of these (I need all the shininess I can get so I’m going with chrome. Mission impossible, by the way. All cabinet hardware comes in nickel, these days. If that’s not what you want, too bad.) […]
The perpetrator (also a victim of his own crime): Goodbye hair. We will miss you!
I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been in New York! Without kids! Do I even have to tell you how wonderful it was? Mister, who you may or may not have heard, was not terribly excited to go at first (I did write a spiteful blog post about it, but deleted it the next […]

I mentioned earlier how I like to be showered and ready before my kids wake up. This is not because I am disciplined (so laughable!) or have my life together. It’s because showering while Ada and Jasper are up and about leads to nothing but trouble. As I found out yesterday. This is what I […]
Do you know what this blog is turning into? A narration of all the things I do when I’m supposed to be cleaning my house. I hate cleaning my house. How many times can I put the same dish in the dishwasher? Or put the throw pillows back on the sofa? Or pick up discarded […]
What is going on? It seems like every other person I know is training for a triathlon. Why triathlons? Why all of a sudden? Three years ago nobody was doing triathlons, and now I’m the only one who isn’t training. Seriously, what is the allure? I don’t like running, but at least running kind of […]
. . . why nobody has told me they’ve gotten their flour yet. Is everyone so busy that they haven’t once been to the store? Doubtful. Today is your last day. This is one of the most important (if not THE most important) item you’ll have in your food storage. So let’s not slack off […]
My body aches, I’m tired, and my nose is very stuffed up. All I’ve wanted to eat is something delicious. So I had a piece of Jasper’s birthday cake (cherry chocolate with chocolate glaze). Only I couldn’t really taste it. All I could taste was “sweet”. And that is perhaps the saddest part of […]
Holy mother-of-pearl! I found two, two, two grey hairs on my head yesterday. I realize that I am 37 and that this was bound to happen. (My little sister has been going grey for years. Sorry Ari, I had to tell.) I have been suffering from this crazy, insane notion that somehow I wouldn’t actually […]
This time of year I’m reminded that I don’t really care for pie. I kind of like chocolate-y pies, and some lemon pies. To me the mystery of the universe is pumpkin pie. pie + vegetables = not a chance I don’t care how much whipped cream you slather on top, it still tastes healthy […]
