Eric got me a new phone for my birthday, which was in the beginning of May. My previous phone was a flip phone that Ive been toting around for the past five years. It got to the point whe...
No, Im not Blossoms precocious, hat-wearing bff...altough I should sometime cause she was pretty rad. Im talking about Top Baby Blogs. Im pretty sure the only people who read this blog on a co...
Madeline has been very particular about her footwear recently. She likes to pick out her own shoes, and becomes very insistent about wearing them even if they are not the proper kicks for the o...
...are the best! We packed a lot of family-fun into the past few days. We went to the beach, we ate seafood, and visited two toy stores. Then we hung out with the neighborhood kids, plant...
Sometimes I forget that I have a daughter. Obviously I know Madeline exists. I did, after all, thrust her from my loins. One is not likely to forget something like that…for realsies, yo. Yet sometime...
Madeline had some sort of virus over the weekend that had me literally praying for the poop to stop. We went through enough disposable diapers to make Al Gore cry. Then she got home from school...
We went and visited our old stomping grounds last weekend. It was little strange playing tourist in a place we had lived for several years. And although we always knew that our old...
I ordered my wedding dress last week. Surprisingly, the whole process was very easy. It only took two stress-free appointments. The dress I chose is totally not what I was thinking I want...
Dear Madeline,How can it be that youll be two years old in just four short months? Where is time going? Where is my little baby going? You are turning into our little girl.&nbs...
Madeline was in a particularly grumpy mood on our way home on Friday since I interrupted her afternoon nap when I came to pick her up from daycare. We stopped to buy her a new pair of sneakers, and s...
This afternoon, Madeline picked two dandelions and carried them across the yard to me. She kept one for herself and handed one to me. I showed her how to blow the dandelion seeds the other day, but s...
Last spring we brought Madeline to the zoo. Mumma and Dada ooohh-ed and ahhh-ed at the animals while Madeline mostly ignored them. The exotic yaks and flamingos were too foreign for her t...
My birthday was this weekend. Why is it that 31 seems so much older than 30? For serious...Sadly, I didnt seem to gain any pearls of wisdom or greater understanding of the universe other than t...
Madeline had a rough night of sickness last night, so the two of us ended up staying home from school today. We did absolutely nothing but cuddle on the couch all day long. We watched Dis...
Eric doesnt really handle the "nasty" side of parenthood well. He prefers a neat and orderly world, where babies dont smear apple sauce on his pant leg and boogers on his shirt. W...
This is what I spent the afternoon doing......chasing Madeline off of every and any conceivable climbing structure we have in the house. Eventually she fell off her little desk directly onto he...
It is well known fact that other than asteroids and the zombie apocalypse, my other biggest fear is of snakes. So imagine my horror when I came across a sunbathing garter snake in my front yard...
You know my perfect, sweet baby girl, Madeline? The one who I said was a little slice of perfection in a yellow cardigan last weekend? Well, as it turns out, that little slice of perfection may...
The reason we get to go to Montauk and have great mini vacations by the ocean is because Erics parents have a place out there. (Thanks, Nana and Pop!) Eric has a lot of fond memories of s...
Before I even begin, can we just take a minute to admire this beach? I mean, how gorgeous is that? And that little black speck in the water? Thats a lady riding a horse. A HOR...
When you have a toddler, the term "traveling light" means you only have 100 pounds of crap instead of the 150 you packed for an infant. Along with the clothing, comes backup clot...
Our little family had an excellent spring break last week. We had some Mumma-Dada dates, rocked on the porch, got some small house projects done, ate lots of foods, gained ten pounds, visited w...
Eric and I are on vacation this week, and were lucking out with some pretty amazing weather. Yesterday, we took a break from eating bonbons and lounging by our nonexistent pool to get some yard...
Madeline has been going through a major Mumma fad recently. Its all Mumma all the time as far as shes concerned. In fact, it sometimes gets to the point where she cries when she sees Eric...
Dear Madeline,You are now nineteen months old, and youre looking less and less like a baby every day. Youre hair is getting thicker, but not necessarily longer. Most days its a red mop of a mes...
The interesting thing about old houses like ours is that theyve had entire lives that the current owners know nothing about. Our house, which was built in 1870, feels like my home. The walls an...
Thanks for the photos, Mom and Bob!
Scene: The car. Mumma driving. Madeline in her car seat. Me: Madeline, do you have your doll on your lap? Madeline: Yeah, lap. Me: Thats so nice. Shes a nice...
When I went to pick Madeline up from daycare yesterday, the receptionist greeted me with, "I heard you had a great Easter!" I assumed she was just being polite, or that maybe she had spoken w...
