I come from a long line of blankie lovers. My ratty pink one was the perfect accompaniment for the thumb-sucking and hair-twirling I enjoyed as a youth. Nothing better than a stinky thumb, a soggy blanket, and a gnarly rat-tail. Ah. That tender, springtide of my life. My youngest brother was the most passionate of… Read More »
The other day we were flipping through channels and happened upon a Jersey-oriented reality show. I don’t know what they call it these days as there are now so many spinoffs revolving around Snooki, The Situation, and a host of other tan, blinged-out, obnoxious individuals from Jersey. This particular one featured a pregnant Snooki looking… Read More »
Today Chaucer… 1. Jumped from a chair and landed face-first in the kiddie pool. 2. Played tag with 6 year old boys. 3. Was put in time out 5 times. 4. Grabbed a steak knife off of the counter (I thought it was out of reach). 5. Pushed our coffee table around the living room.… Read More »
This morning, I was supposed to board a plane for New York City. My husband is there now, without me. We were to have a week together split into two parts: the first half at Yale University for a conference, and the second in the Big Apple–experiencing all of its wonder for the first time… Read More »
So It’s Wednesday, and I have no photos for you. I have some great Easter pics but unfortunately my computer is not letting me download them. First world problem, I know. I’ve started to put videos up on youtube–I’m gonna share the one that was my little survival kit while I was in Seattle. Matt… Read More »
I’m going to try very, very hard to leave out the tone of exasperation in this post. Sigh. This is going to be difficult. You see, I’m exhausted. I’m overwhelmed. And I’m unprepared…for this BOY that has replaced my baby. You all knew this blog was coming, right? And don’t you dare tune out just… Read More »
I know, I know. You don’t even have to say it. The fact that my last post was dated a month ago is reminder enough. But here. Let me give you a reason to forgive me. I have cute pictures. Yay! Now we can be friends again, right? Maybe? Hello? Is anyone there? Hi Mom.… Read More »
If I could freeze time I would forever preserve Chaucer’s current stage of toddlerhood. I love it. Every day is a joy with him. Matt and I find ourselves looking at him in awe of his cuteness. It crept up on us. I mean, he has always been adorable, don’t get me wrong. But as… Read More »
I wish I could be a kid again. A little kid that sees everything in life as spectacular. There would be moments of seriousness, of course. Sometimes it would be difficult to understand. But then there would be the adventure. THE adventure of just running. Of climbing a tree. Or finding a portal to another… Read More »
Greetings. It’s time for Fascinating Friday and I’m afraid I’m a bit of an Eeyore today, meaning, I don’t really want to post a bunch of links to other blogs. I wanna change it up and dish you something different. I’m gonna share some of the fascinating things that are said in my household. Ready?… Read More »
