I am a [...]

I was separated from my first baby, Julian, for the first hour or two of his life. While I was incredibly curious to see him again — this person whose very existence I had invented now existed in the real world! –  I guess I was also very patient. I don’t remember being overcome with [...]

Spotted: baby at a party

May 2, 2013

I ran into this little one (third daughter from beloved atmosphere blog) on the veranda at the Mom2 summit. She’s three months old today and celebrating her special day by sleeping in the arms of anyone interested in holding her. I couldn’t resist photographing her contemplative pose and massive diaper bulge. Teeny tiny everything. Her [...]

Here’s the common situation: A super smart friend, let’s call her Julie, who always has easy cooking shortcuts when I go to her house, posted a question on Facebook asking about family dinner ideas.

Personalized Mother’s Day Cards (discount)

April 27, 2013

This is sort of advertise-y, but I love sending cards with my kids’ pictures on them. I’ve used Treat.com to send sympathy cards, birthday cards, and thank you cards throughout the year. I’m simply a huge procrastinator when it comes to getting something in the mail, but somehow ordering online helps me get it done. [...]
