dirty musical love affairs.

I have never been super obsessed over a particular music group or band. However I have a very passionate spot for insanely talented, truly smart and oh so quirky artists. Lady Gaga? Love you. Hard. I may not let my kid watch your videos or listen to your music (hell, I barely do), but weContinue reading “dirty musical love affairs.”

{babbled} I am Your Boobs’ Biggest Fan

I battled with nonexistent milk supply for eight weeks. I did everything and anything I could to establish a milk supply but it never happened for me. I didn’t just have a low milk supply … I had NO milk supply. What worked for other women never worked for me. I chatted back and forth…Continue reading “{babbled} I am Your Boobs’ Biggest Fan”

{babbled} Woombie, for the Naughty Swaddlers.

“Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix Woombie is. You have to see it for yourself.” My first reaction to the Woombie: “It’s like putting your baby in a Matrix pod! JUST PLUG THE CORD INTO THE BACK OF HER NECK AND WATCH OUT FOR AGENT SMITH!” Boy howdy, did I have to eat…Continue reading “{babbled} Woombie, for the Naughty Swaddlers.”

{babbled} No-Heat Curls and NyQuil.

The first cold of the season has struck in the house of us and so far it has only struck me. But, oh, has it struck me hard. It started out as a throat thing, you know, where you begin to wonder if you swallowed nails or dined on cactus unexpectedly. Then it turned to…Continue reading “{babbled} No-Heat Curls and NyQuil.”

Casey vs. the Motorized Neti Pot

I am a neti expert. A neti lover. So when I received a battery operated neti pot from BlogHer? I waited for the perfect sinus issue to test it out. That issue came last night, as did the test. Final answer? Give this to an amateur and they’re gonna drown. ************** (This entire video wasContinue reading “Casey vs. the Motorized Neti Pot”

{babbled} The Care and Maintenance of Chubby Babies.

Fold fluff, crevice crap, chub cheese. Caring for a chubby baby is sometimes similar to caring for a very wrinkly dog. Those folds have to be cleaned and prepped properly or you can be left with some incredibly gross stuff. Most babies, skinny or chubby, end up making a batch of neck cheese somewhere in…Continue reading “{babbled} The Care and Maintenance of Chubby Babies.”

{babbled} Baby Costumes for Those Who Read and Those Who Game

Spoiler alert: my baby is going to be Perry the Platypus for Halloween. Her semi-aquatic feet came in the mail the other day and I am geeked beyond all logic and reason to get her in her full costume. (Fedora? Of course she’ll have a fedora.) But wait, it gets better. When you have a…Continue reading “{babbled} Baby Costumes for Those Who Read and Those Who Game”

of parenting and platypi.

I gave Vivi some sage advice on surviving the next few months. You know, stuff like “Don’t whack yourself in the face!” and “TAKE NAPS!” But she’s a horrible listener so I doubt she paid attention to any of it. Ears on baby clothes? Only kittens are cuter. (Sometimes puppies. Or baby Platypi.) SPEAKING OFContinue reading “of parenting and platypi.”

the one about me being mad at my breasts.

I am mad at my breasts. Not a funny “HAHA!” mad, but legitimately angered by their existence. I used to enjoy them. They stayed up where they were supposed to, they balanced out my bottom half and they filled out dresses and t-shirts with ease. I was measured again and guess what? I’m still (STILL!)Continue reading “the one about me being mad at my breasts.”
