Today I’m pleased to welcome another blogger whose guest posts I’ve tremendously enjoyed in the past: fellow geek girl Susan! I still remember when the word “geek” was viewed negatively by society; now, geeks everywhere proudly wear this label as a badge of honor. So if you too are a geek — and a girl […]
Guest Post: New vs. Newer
The following post comes from Karen of Modern Organic Living. Karen and her husband are currently expecting their first child, and I must say that she is sporting one of the cutest belly bumps I’ve seen in quite some time! Here, she ponders a dilemma that plagues geeks and gadget-lovers on a constant basis: what […]
Guest Post: When the One You Love Loves Legos
The following guest post comes from Amy of Parker Haus Roles, who has compiled a fantastic Lego Gift Guide (!!!), complete with pictures and links. J and I can’t WAIT until our kids are old enough to start enjoying Legos. We’ve been eyeing the gargantuan Star Wars sets for quite some time now, waiting for an “excuse” […]
Guest Post: I’m a Mac. No, a P.C. Neither? Both?
The following post comes from Nodakademic, a blogger-wife-student-professional (yeah, I don’t know how she does it all either) who resides in the chilly state of North Dakota. I really enjoy her blog and I think that we can be friends in real life if we didn’t live so far apart. Isn’t it funny how blogging can help […]
Guest Post: Guilty Pleasures
Amanda hails from one of my favorite home decor & renovation blogs, Love & Renovations. (I swear they’re going to be the next Young House Love!) I was extremely excited when she agreed to write a guest post…and was very pleasantly surprised to discover that she is a closet video game geek! Here, she writes […]
The Great Pumpkin Massacre [à la Calvin and Hobbes]
Calvin and Hobbes is my all-time favorite comic strip, and I still count The Complete Calvin and Hobbes to be one of the best presents J has ever gifted me. I seriously can’t wait until our children are old enough to start enjoying these comics! If you are also a fan of C&H, you are probably well-aware […]
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Claire seems to be doing much better this morning. Her fever is gone, she no longer cries out from pain, and she is finally eating. I did not sleep a wink last night from worrying over my sick daughter. Since my in-laws have arrived early this morning to help with the baby, I will now attempt […]
So This is What They Look Like on the Inside…
Yesterday, we discovered 2 new teeth in Claire’s mouth — one on either side of her top front teeth — making for a grand total of 6 teeth at the age of 12 months. (So far, all of her teeth have come in pairs. Is this normal?) The best part? She did not exhibit any […]
ONA’s Roma Camera Insert Bag Review and Giveaway!
Sorry, this giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced here shortly! Late last year, the web was abuzz with the introduction of a laptop + DSLR bag that was not only functional and well-made, but beautiful as well: the ONA Union Street Bag. I knew it would be perfect for my fashion-conscious husband, who commutes […]
Defying the Halloween Birthday
How much does psychology come into play when it comes to the day a woman gives birth? As it turns out, more than what you might expect. Using 11-years’ worth of U.S. birth certificate data provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, Yale researchers have found that there are higher instances of birth on Valentine’s […]
