I really need to brush up on my Star Wars trivia, because I couldn’t get everything! *hangs head in shame* I will post the answers in the comments section right after publishing this, so fret not! Via Neatorama. P.S. — According to Gamma Squad, the creator of the game, the chart was made “liberally using titles, […]
My mother came over today so that I can get some rest (but we all know the real reason she comes over is to see her precious granddaughter), but instead of doing what I was supposed to do — take a nap to relieve my body of the insomnia it has been suffering — I […]

I even walk to the grocery store, pushing Claire in her stroller (thank goodness our stroller has a huge bottom compartment that fits 5-6 full grocery […]

Colors and arrows depict where and how the changes were made, and the letters move around to show exactly we ended up with the 26-letter English alphabet we have today. Please click on through for the full animation, as it is too big (that’s what she […]
Over the weekend, the NYTimes ran an article titled “Baby Makes Four, and Complications” which tells the story of a woman, her son, her sperm donor and his lover, citing them as an example of the changing face of the American family. This was no big news to me. After all, the idea of the traditional […]
