For some, it might be when they saw two faint lines after peeing on a stick. It might be the first time they felt their baby kick, or when they got The Call from the adoption agency. It might be when they held their baby for the first time, or shortly thereafter when they realized [...]

Sleep when they sleep

“Let’s all lay down for a little bit” turned into an epic three-hour family nap this afternoon. Clearly, we all needed it, even if it means we’re gonna be screwed tonight when it comes to bedtime. Eh, it was worth it.

A few months ago, we started introducing Rowan to “solids.” The term “solid” is quite the misnomer, however, as the smooth, pureed fruits, veggies and starches we’ve been spoonfeeding our son are far from solid by the time they reach his mouth.

Not sure why I was on the fence about whether or not we should go see Julie & Julia on Friday. OF COURSE we, of all people, should see it. It’s about a blogger, and food, and cooking, and Julia Child, and blogging ABOUT food, cooking, and Julia Child. Totally our kind of movie. And [...]

Outside of Roth and my mom, there’s really only one other person in this world who truly gets me. It takes a rare breed of person to sit across the way from me for more than three years and simply listen without prejudice, without judgment, to the stories of my life, and still want to [...]

I always thought that my experience raising a puppy would kinda-sorta prepare me for the experience of raising a baby, what with the sleepless nights and plethora of pee and poop and sundry other grossness. Almost eight months in, I can say that yes, it most definitely did. At this stage, I’m beginning to think [...]
