*as I write this, I’m working on my buzz with a wine called Damifino, I am harrassing friends on Twitter, Scout is sleeping upstairs, Alex is sleeping upstairs, my mom is working crosswords across the room from me. All is well – which makes me twitch, I’m not a natural optimist – keep this in mind for the rest of the post* Suckit08 is almost over. It has been a.. Read More
Save Handmade!
The first I saw of the Consumer Product Improvement Act (CPSIA) was through Cool Mom Picks – I gave it a skim and mentally set it aside for later (like after Christmas travel). Then I received email from Mother Nurture, then I started seeing links to it everywhere – you’d think I’d be more up on it being that Comfed Out Kaiser is my biz, but it almost fell through..

Christmas and Vibrators and Lingerie
because we all need a laugh. It was the first Christmas Eve that Scout and I spent together. We sat round the table eating dinner, and I had just sunk my teeth into a cookie when his mother said: “We were halfway through Iowa when we realized we left the vibrator at home!” Now, I like a sitcom actress sat with my teeth settled in that cookie, fearing to move..

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso . . .
If we could ever GET there. This is our first real live vacation since June 2006. Which absolutely makes me think something apocolyptic is going to happen to just try to jack up the ante of Suckit08 a little more. We were planning to leave the house at 8am. I woke at 8:01am. Whoops. No time to look for my cell phone with the dead battery that Alex hid zeusonlyknowswhere… Read More
Wine is dangerous yo.

Things you need to leave the house with a toddler
Yoga. Y.O.G.A. Yoga.
Scout and I once joined a gym. It did not begin well. Here is my reflection on that: Do not, I repeat, do not join a gym and have your fitness assessment the day before you start your period. Also if you happen to be caught in a traffic that makes a 40 minute drive take 2 hours and 11 minutes – also just call the damn gym and cancel.. Read More

Riddle Me This . . .
wtf is an ad for THIS: Doing before THIS movie?
I’m thankful for blogging
This is a reprint from last Thanksgiving. A lot has changed in the last year, but this is the same. *** There’s no way I’m going to be as eloquent as this topic deserves, but this post has been rolling around for a while, and today is the right day to set it to words. Please bear with me here. *** I started reading blogs while I was pumping. It.. Read More
Decoration Inspiration
I’m one of those people who can be very creative if I have firm boundaries. It’s probably why I’m in love with HGTVs Get Color and Find Your Style. Or I’m in love with Matt the handyman and Karen McAloon’s hair color. When we bought our house, it was mostly builders flat finish beige, with a sick inducing green in a guest room, and another shade of sick inducing green.. Read More
