I once knew a blogger who lived an enviable life. Not only was she gorgeous, her husband was extremely wealthy and handsome. She constantly wrote of her designer purchases, exotic getaways, and decorating their mansion with custom-made furniture and one-of-a-kind decor. Soon, she started getting snarky comments from readers who judged her for her lifestyle. […]
J has a complex about baby names: if he knows anyone in real life with a certain name (even if he hasn’t talked to that person since the 2nd grade), it’s out. Not surprisingly, this makes naming our children quite difficult as he is one of the most natural connectors I’ve ever known. Luckily we […]
I recently came across photographs of a German book called Where Babies Come From. I can’t tell if it’s meant to be a children’s book or not…because the illustrations are enough to make even adults blush! I only wish I knew German so I could understand what the book says. Would you show your kids […]
When I first found out I was pregnant, the baby-preparation experience I looked forward to the most was not decorating the nursery or picking out the baby clothes. It was building the baby’s first library. As a avid lover of books, I absolutely cannot wait to introduce my child to all the books I loved […]
I was planning to continue writing about Tater Tot here, or even perhaps create a subdomain for it. However, J was insistent on creating a separate blog devoted entirely to our little one. I finished it last night (stupid WordPress!) and it is now live at http://www.tatertotlau.com. The new blog will feature three writers: Tater […]
Yesterday, I had written that we received a surprise gift in the mail: the book Oh, Baby, the Places You’ll Go! A Book to Be Read in Utero. As I sidled into bed last night I decided to take the book with me so that I can read to Tater Tot for the very first […]
I feel so incredibly lucky to have great friends who are as excited about the baby as we are! We have already received two baby gifts in the mail. The first, a Care Bear from our friend Anna (who has an almost unhealthy obsession with Care Bears and says that we need to train the […]
We had our first OB appointment today! Before I get to the fun stuff, check out this lovely conversation I had with J en route to the doctor… Geek in Heels: So are you excited? The Sperm Donor: Yes!!! Geek in Heels: The Sperm Donor: I have one next week, and another the week after […]
Remember the adorably geeky baby Link outfit I wrote about last week? Well, there was much rejoicing in the geeky craft world today as the knitting pattern was released at Happy Seamstress! You can download the detailed PDF here. The bad news is that my knitting abilities are limited to simple scarves. The good news […]
I really need to take up knitting. First, there was that adorable Nintendo Baby Blanket. Now, there is an entire ensemble… via Neatorama Perhaps I’ll have better luck this these? They only seem to involve cutting and gluing… via The Official Star Wars Blog Alas, I am a klutz with anything that doesn’t involve computers. […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
