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.

Is White Noise a Myth?! I can hear Everything!
Posted by lovemedaily on February 27th, 2010
In the dome of the capitol building in D.C. you can whisper on one side of the room and someone standing on the other side can hear the whisper as though it were in their ear. It’s terribly fascinating to learn the ability to secretly talk to someone without the aid of anything but the [...]
Snow Day- For real this time
Posted by lovemedaily on February 27th, 2010
Snow on Times Square.
It snowed all day today and yesterday. The visibility was horrible, thus making it difficult to get a good picture of this snowy mess.
This last one is to perpetuate the image of women who are too young and beautiful to know the joy of having children. Ahh, to have elasticity in your [...]
I didn’t even have to shop?! You Love Me!
Posted by lovemedaily on February 26th, 2010
There was a time before kids and work and adult life when all I wanted to do was shop. There are even times now when the mood strikes and I thank the internet and shipping methods for making it possible. But this, this is even better.
Kim Kardashian has founded Shoe Dazzle, a shoe club. For [...]
Lies! Our No School Day
Posted by lovemedaily on February 26th, 2010
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 [...]
Choosing my battles

How do you let your children leave the house?
There are times when her father and I have to present the situation at large to this 4 year old and ask her if she thinks her thin princess poncho is warm enough to wear in weather that is in the teens or if ballet slippers will [...]
Baby Burn
Posted by lovemedaily on February 25th, 2010
This is what bad parenting looks like. The other day, I was cooking dinner when the baby crawled to the oven and tried to open the bottom door. I panicked because our gas oven was on so I snapped the door shut. He immediately started crying as he does every time we block his intentions. [...]
New Baby Bump: The Postpartum Belly
Posted by lovemedaily on February 25th, 2010
Pre-pregnancy weight is over rated. Counter to what it appears in the picture above, I have lost all my baby weight and am just about back down to size. I used cocoa butter and lotions throughout my pregnancies, but I got stretch marks both times. It seems this last pregnancy ushered in new waves of [...]
Recession? You can tell by looking at me.
Posted by lovemedaily on February 23rd, 2010
Two years ago at this time, we were getting ready to spend the summer in Paris. Now, my husband is suggesting that we sell everything we have and move back to Florida. Although his personality is dire, our lives are not. Still, we are making strides to cut corners.
Today, it was my hair. Holy Moly, it was [...]
4 years and 11 months old
Posted by lovemedaily on February 22nd, 2010
I hear other parents from Rachel’s pre-k class talk about how much they love 4, how much they’re looking forward to 5. I hear the other kids talk their cutesy putesy talk, the bubbly naivety of toddler still glimmering in their eyes.
My daughter? My daughter has a baby voice she uses to imitate those kids [...]
