The Perfect Wedding

Despite my oft complaint, I actually love my husband. In fact, I’ve come to learn that it is in my ability to lovingly complain about him that my feelings for him have deepened. It’s in much the same way my son can wipe his snot on my cheek and I am able smile back at [...]

Family Photography

There is a family photographer that exists within the combined gene pools of my husband and I. It’s me. I love cataloging our lives through digital still frames, and I accept the consequences of floating around like a fly in everyone’s ear, buzzing with the sound of each frozen moment. However, it has come to [...]

Yeah! Mama’s taking the night off!

You see how I’m still “mama” even on my time off? Can someone shove my husband’s face in that?
The baby no longer nurses throughout the night so Jack and Coke with a side of icing it is. I’m much more of a wine drinker, but my husband’s grubby hands repeatedly found my stash throughout my [...]

I cause all the bad.

My daughter drew a picture of a scary story. A baby, who was pushed by a witch, was falling from a tree as his sister was waiting on the ground to catch him. Thank you, nursery rhymes. After telling me the story, she named the characters with a delighted little smile on her face. [...]

It’s always the Parent’s Fault

The report from the baby’s doctor appointment yesterday is that his weight is down from the 50th to the 15th percentile. We need to go back in a month for a check up to make sure there are no problems causing the decline in weight gain. No big deal, right? No, because the baby has [...]

Moment of Greatness

It could be because I never had it myself that I didn’t know how to recognize it. It could be that I never looked at Jason past the relationship I have with him. It could be for a million reasons, but I never noticed the beautiful relationship that has been forged between my husband and [...]

This is how we celebrate the weekend.

Speaking of no Sleep…

I’d already brought the baby into my bed from his crib when he decided to wake up and begin squealing in playful pleasure. His noise woke the girl who, instead of going back to sleep because it was oh, 3am, sprang up as though it were mid day and proclaimed “The baby wants to play!” [...]

Woke up late to find this little gem

Daddy trap- any concept engineered and executed by a dad to relieve himself of parental responsibilities.
Without fail, every time Daddy is left to his own devices, I return to the scene to find daddy traps all over our home.

Lies! Our No School Day

I love watching the snow fall outside my window at night. It hasn’t snowed a lot in the city this winter, so I can greet this storm with a smile instead of beaming contempt.
It’s been snowing all day. This morning, it was the heavy, rainy stuff that created dirty slush all over the ground. Not [...]
