We had a birthday bash around here yesterday yall. Okay, not really, because the birthday king was sick. But, not too sick for a cupcake. Or gifts. Or balloons. Nothing r...
Last weekend I snuck away for a few hours to attend Chicagos Vintage Clothing Expo. Basically, it was a vintage-lovers paradise--over 200 booths of vintage hats, shoes, purses, jewelry, knick-k...
As it goes, every six weeks or so I have to go through Brixtons clothes and clean out those items that dont fit anymore. Some items are easier to let go than others. One sweater in partic...
Today is Saturday. I realized Brixton hasnt watched a video in a week or two. YESSSS! That means I can easily let him watch TWO and not feel guilty about it. I set ...

Weve done bubbles before, but Brixton seemed to enjoy them a whole lot more now. At first, he sat very still just looking at them. Then the hands started flying, the water splashing, the ...

Its a gray and lazy Saturday morning. Brixton slept in this morning until almost 9 (!!!). We cuddled a bit in bed with him, clad only in a diaper and his vast fat rolls. And that sk...
Im not sure he can smile anymore than this. This is the end of the line for smiles. And can I get an amen for the double chin? Or is that a triple? Hard to say. Alt...

This day was a throw your kid up in the air kind of day. The kind of day where a ponytail is needed just as much as a little dress. This day was a mama got 3 blisters day, but that walk t...
Brixton is 10 months old and has seemingly transitioned to more of a toddler stance in the past month. Well, a toddler who cant actually toddle. Or crawl for that matter. Yep, hes s...
