Tech Tuesday: Use an app to save kid art

May 21, 2013

My kindergartner is the most prolific artist in the house. Allow me to present to you five from his recent series of monsters and beasts (incredibly adorable until you realize that they’re all holding weapons and shooting poison from their spiky appendages). I really love all most of what he creates but I can’t possibly [...]

May 15, 2013

From the oldies files! We threw a real birthday party for Holden this year and we tried to do it on the cheap. The funny thing was that we had a great plan — some of it was even well-executed — and we still spent more than $150. Ouch! I think with hindsight, I could [...]

I couldn’t resist photographing her contemplative pose and massive diaper bulge. Teeny tiny everything. Her [...]
