As is the case with most mothers, my parenting style has really loosened up with time and the addition of another kid. Minor injury? Eh, they’ll live. No clean clothes left in the drawers? Go to the hamper and sniff out something presentable. Dead-tired at the end of the day without much food in the kitchen? Special […]
I think every little girl goes through a phase when she believes her father to be the most handsome man in the world, and her mother to be the most beautiful. No? If not, I must have been a weirdo. 😛 But in all seriousness, I really did think this for a long time. Perhaps […]
I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately, and it clearly shows by the lack of posts here on this blog. 😐 There are just so many things going on, the girls are driving me crazy (and keeping me plenty busy on top of my other obligations), and I’m so tired all the time […]
Wow. What a fun and exhausting weekend! Would you believe it’s taken me this long to recover? Yeah, I’m an old, tired fart. 😛 As those who live along the East Coast of the U.S. are aware, this past weekend saw the arrival of the first tropical storm of the annual hurricane season. And just as […]
We’re off to Long Island Wine Country today for my sister’s wedding weekend extravaganza! This is our first overnight trip as a family of four, so I’m a bit nervous…but excited all the same! In the meantime, I hope you check out a new Tumblr blog I created: What Should We Call Blogging? Modeled after […]
As Claire grows older, it’s becoming apparent that our elder daughter is quite the character. If she’s not awing those around her with her keen sense of observation and imagination, she is cracking us up with her anecdotes and attitude. I’ve decided to share with you some of my favorite stories from the past few […]
There will be no PicDump today because…well, have you ever had one of those days when you feel like your kids will be the death of you? I’ve been having one of those WEEKS. The physical evidence includes a bruised left knee which is so swollen it hurts to bend (from lunging to prevent an […]
So apparently, getting a mini-me made of yourself is a thing in Japan. A company in Akihabara called Clone Factory urges women to preserve that special moment in life (e.g., your wedding day) with your own special Jibun-san [自分さん], which roughly translates to “Me.” The dolls are modeled after not only your face, but also your makeup, hair, and […]
I haven’t been able to take too much pictures this week because I have a nagging cold. Not the fever-aching-gawd-kill-me-now kind, but the annoying type that makes me cough like I have a 2-pack-a-day habit and go through half a box of tissues a day from all the snot that comes oozing down my nose. […]
I came across an interesting infographic BuzzFeed published yesterday with the title “Men Believe Female Beauty Peaks At Age 29.” The infographic includes interesting age-related beauty factoids and survey results in addition to the obviously-designed-for-bait post title, so I thought it would be worth a mention here. As mentioned previously on this blog, I probably […]
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.
