Last night J and I decided to dress Claire in her take-home outfit to see how it would fit her now, at 6 weeks old. (She was positively swimming in it when we brought her home from the hospital, as even premie clothes were too large on her for the first week of her life.) […]
Meet Cloudy
When my younger sister posted the first picture of herself holding her niece Claire on Facebook, she captioned it: “In the words of Phil Dunphy: ‘Claire? Isn’t that gonna be hard for her to say?’” (If you don’t get the joke, go watch the pilot episode of Modern Family. Hilarious! What a great show!) My sister’s […]
Man Men Mr. Men
Are you familiar with the popular children’s book series “Mr. Men”? Well, the clever folks at thepoke.co.uk has mashed it up the AMC hit series Mad Men for some amusing results… They’ve even created a complete story called “Mr. Sterling Gets Angry” — Via The New York Times.

Missing My First Baby
Despite my protests, I became outnumbered by J and my parents. According to J, he does not have the energy to take care of me, the baby, and a dog. According to my parents, a dog will only bring added stress to our new life as parents. As a result, Comang has been staying at my […]
Guest Post: Geeky Halloween Costumes for Babies
I had considered dressing Claire in a fun geeky costume this year for Halloween (this Yoda costume comes to mind) but a newborn who can’t even support her own head takes some of the fun out of the process. Luckily, Stephanie came to the rescue — last time, she enthralled us with geeky Halloween costumes and she […]
Guest Post: Geeky Etsy Finds
I like to compare Etsy to New York’s Century 21: much loved by many, but too overwhelming for myself. As such, I was delighted when Jen offered to do a guest post on geeky Etsy finds, as this is a topic that I would never be able to tackle by myself. Enjoy! Hi guys, it’s […]
Husband Creates Food Art for Pregnant Wife on Bed Rest
I knew that I had to share this story with my readers as I totally teared up while reading it earlier today. (But then again, what doesn’t get me emotional these days? I cried while watching the newest episode of House last night.) As my readers can testify, pregnancy is not all about unicorns farting rainbows. Take the […]
True Mud
True Blood + Sesame Street. Love it! (And didn’t Sesame Street do a GREAT job parodying the popular HBO show?) You may also like: The Secret Lives of Superhero Toys If Disney Princesses Had Instagram Marvelous Street Fighter + Minions Mashup Grumpy Cat Meets Disney
Dim Sum Buttons
I’m not a big fan of dim sum (J thinks it’s an atrocity that I prefer Chinese take-out to authentic Chinese cuisine), but I find these dim sum buttons by Mark Wu of One Inch Punch adorable. I would get the set, affix some magnets to their backs, and use them on my refrigerator. Via Neatorama. You may […]
