His fur is starting to mat in a few places, his ears are getting floppier, and he even has a few crusty bits. He smells of sweaty baby, sleepy Vivi and freshly bathed mozzi. It’s magical. Bunny has been inducted by Vivi as her lovey and there’s never been a luckier bunny in the entireContinue reading “the chosen one.”

(It’s my last month on Baby’s First Year, sad right?) I reviewed more than a dozen different brands of cloth diapers and had the pleasure of writing Babble’s Best Cloth Diapers of 2012 (It was WAY more intense that the baby bottle and diaper pail one. Phew!) I also wrote about the world of clothContinue reading “(baby babble) cloth, cranky, crying and chow.”

When my marriage almost ended two and half years ago, the fact that neither of us placed blame on the other or used our shortcomings as weapons to hurt the other in the aftermath was one of the greatest keys to our recovery. We had both done things on our own to screw up ourContinue reading “the one about my marriage nearly ending”

I watched this: Then I looked back at these: Then I did the ugly cry because I KEPT WATCHING IT. But I do have to wonder if those Olympic moms ever had to tell their kids not to stick toys in their baby sister’s butt cheeks when they were in the bathtub together. P&G leftContinue reading “the best job, the ugliest cry”

Vivi and I have a routine. Our routine involves naps, snuggles and a shared appreciation for the culinary delight that is the avocado. I have the stamina necessary to pack a 25 pound baby everywhere and carry a massive camera around. Athletic? Nope. Not so much. Vivi and I? We enjoy our downtime. Then there’sContinue reading “WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE.”

Whew! Two birthdays a bit of depression (I’m feeling much better!) can make a girl fall behind. Sorry about that. Cody’s still been chugging away at his new found blogging hobby and is out of his mind with worry and stress about pageviews! ZOMG THE PAGEVIEWS! I had to sit in a parking lot andContinue reading “man babble. (say it with a gruff voice, it sounds tougher.)”

Go figure that the biggest event of the year, and I have no words. I was going to post my favorite photos of Vivi. Problem is I could only narrow it down to 103, that was after narrowing it down from 430. I don’t care how much you like me or my baby, no oneContinue reading “one.”

*psst!* Come close…I have a confession. (Also, did you catch the horrible pun in the title?) But first you have to promise you won’t roll your eyes at me, we all have our things and this is mine. Promise? Good. *deep breath* Here goes. I don’t like having my picture taken, in fact, I kindContinue reading “shutter at the irony.”

I spent today with my shoulders jammed up into my ears and my jaw clenched. Now that the sun has set and the two little bodies are tucked warm and safe in their beds I’m realizing just how sore I am from being tied up in a knot all day. The last few minutes ofContinue reading “clench and survive”

For my birthday Cody and I spent the night at a swanky hotel where we didn’t have to worry about stepping on Legos on our way to the bathroom or shiny trails of baby snot being slimed down our pants. We had a grownup dinner in a grownup restaurant, we even sat in the barContinue reading “curves, love, strength and beauty.”
