Last Monday, I started really focusing on losing the baby weight – thanks to her getting a team together to try and lose the pounds together. I did great right off the bat, then, it rained for three days, it’s now red tent week, and the 2 scoops of ice cream I had last night were. totally. worth. it. Scout and I once joined a gym. It did not begin.. Read More

(Anyone with child – you might want to skip this post.) I found out this week that my cousin miscarried her baby. I found out through a cryptic email from my Dad to the family asking everyone to pray for cousin and her husband. I confirmed with Deacon what had happened – but there was more to it. Twins. She lost twins. My cousin and I aren’t close. Truth be.. Read More
?Ǭ†(He’s already 6 months old… all of you who are more experienced with this… know that I now join you in being teary watching my baby grow up…) A while back, I read this post. Go on, go read it … if I’m borrowing her words I’ll feel okay with it if ya’ll go read what she said first…. Okay. You’re back. Excellent. When I hold Alex close, I keep.. Read More
I learned that when you start with a lot of squash… and pumpkins… and sweet potatoes… and you put them on the grill to cook… that when you use the blender to make the puree… and you need to stop the blender and shift the pieces in the blender… wait till the blades stop moving before you stick a knife in the blender… Seriously…
Mommy will get back to the foody goodness later – Tuesday was non stop rain, crabby baby mommy, me loving my mommy so much that she got nothing done, and going slowly crazy from our rain imposed entrapment in the house. Amy hijacked her mommy’s email last week and sent me this. I’m so glad to see babies around the globe working together for the betterment of our parents. Sleep.. Read More
Okay, so yesterday I talked about my weird ass issues with my hands and hand washing. I’ve used the homemade sanitizer for a fews days now and I really like it. The consistency is relatively the same as the stuff you would buy, the lavender does smell nice and works with the alcohol, rather than competing with it. I’m assuming my hands are marginally cleaner than they were before –.. Read More
So, all good cooks know that clean hands are a must for pre food touching. All good mommies know that clean hands are a must – just because they are a must. Here’s a little tidbit about me: I dee-test the feeling of my hands after they have had soap on them. They feel dry and sandpapery, and they catch on things and ick! ew! And with the heinous nail..

Okay, so the theme of this week is getting chosen by me. And only because it’s timely. And SHOCKING. SHOCKING Betty Friggin’ Crocker possessed our bodies. I don’t know wtf happened. I’m still reeling. One minute Scout was waving around his man-squash And the next, our refrigerator looked like this This week, I’ll tell ya’ll about this demon possession.

Isn’t it great how some words just make you giggle? I have a friend who is incapable of keeping a straight face if you say the word ‘jism’ to him. I have another friend who is totally creeped out by both ‘crevice’ and ‘moist’ – to which, I of course just say “put your hands together my friend” and taunt with the ‘moist crevice’. The moist thing has even come.. Read More
Kaiser Alex here. Just wanted to let you know that Operation Break Parental Unit’s Spirit is working swimmingly! I have steadily sleep deprived mommy and daddy all week long – letting them have a tiny bit of sleep until the middle of the night, when I decide I need to keep telling them I love them feed me dammit! I’m in a growth spurt here, can’t you SEE?!? I have.. Read More
Scout and the Kaiser and I are going to go have family photos taken today. By a real (expensive) live (expensive) studio (expensive) photographer. Why? Well, I went to my favorite crunchy granola mommy store and she had gift cards for a free sitting fee with them. A three hundred dollar value. Seriously. But… Scout and I have never had a professional photo taken … the Kaiser has really great.. Read More
I do, it’s true. Here’s Proof One: I *cleaned* for you. And Lisa is right – of course I had a method. Of course I did. But just so no one is feeling all tight of breath over my system, I have rearranged it for you. And no. No you may not ask to see the “Desktop” folder. *** Here’s Proof Two: Seriously. Thank you, each of you, for commenting.. Read More
