A Name

Thank goodness we had a boy. When it came to choosing a name for baby Fix-It, our boy name was mutually agreed upon long before I was even pregnant. A girl name? ohmylawd. Do you have one of those...

Unanticipated Joy

Of all the things I imagined when having a baby, my kid cracking me up to the point of tears wasn't one of them. Oh, child, you are getting FUNNY.

Before Baby (The Start of our Birth Story)

How Do You Washi?

I think washi tape is one of the most adorable things around. But, despite the 5 rolls stacked all cute on my desk, I'm at a loss over how to use it. I've used it to decorate an envelope and a...

Free Fall
