You all know what I’m talking about: you have something you DESPERATELY need to discuss with your spouse, but when you try to bring it up, you are welcomed with a big fat “Not The Time”. Which, honestly, is fantastic b/c of course, let’s just postpone the decision on whether or not your daughter’s […]
Spare Wine Corks
My dream…for the bar we don’t have. We’ve got them. Save them, religiously guard them, etc.–but for what?? Not yet sure, though I am envisioning some dramatic Martha Stewart-like project on the horizon. A lot of people have stashes of them in their home, but I’ve noticed that everyone is quick to defend how they […]
The First Vomit
Flashback 2 yrs. ago: My son had his first “real” vomit. We were spit-up champs for sure (seriously, positive we could have won a national title or something), but this was definitely different. At 8:30am, my husband had already left for work. Obviously, being a new-ish mom, I panicked, threw my 8 mo. old in […]
2012 London Summer Olympics
124 days until our beloved Games roll out…but who is counting? For someone who is hopelessly non-athletic, my obsession with the Olympics is fanatical and endless…Not sure exactly where/when it started, but I recall that one of the #1 things that attracted me to my husband 14+ yrs. ago was when I discovered he was […]
It would be so much easier to have kids…
…if you didn’t have kids. Please tell me I’m not the only one who has ever thought this. I shared this belief with my husband once, and he (of his scientifically logical ilk), was off-put by the illogic. Despite the apparent Catch 22 (if I didn’t have kids, I wouldn’t need to take care of […]
Etsy
Crap. I’ve got a new obsession. How did I even discover this one?? All I know is, somewhere between my Mom (who adored daffodils) dying and seeking thus-appropriate daffodil-themed jewelry to pang at my sister’s and my hearts, I am a full-fledged Etsy card-carrying member. At the side I have pictured a couple of the […]
Things That I Have Actually Said
It occurred to me recently that it may be not-normal to say things to my husband such as, “I understand that you are not maliciously trying to ruin my life with sippy cups, but…” This made me start thinking about bizarre things I say to the younger members of my family and thought another pop […]
New Furniture
I (Heart) my new chair…How did I ever become cool enough toown an “accent chair”?!Slightly taken with myself right now, sorry… My dog will never forgive us. He DESPISES change. Here is what happened: our elderly neighbors from our apartment complex of 7 years ago gave us their old recliner before they moved out. Who knows […]
Downton Abbey
We have a Situation on our hands, all 30-somethings. PBS went and rolled out a knock-out Masterpiece Classic TV series (move aside, childhood fav The Princess and the Pea with Liza Minnelli) that has all of us procreating-age people reeling. At first, I just thought my husband and I were super “on-trend” (albeit 3 seasons […]
Toddler Playdate Phenomena
I feel like we’ve hosted enough of these recently that I have become aware of some recurring playdate phenomena. No, not the expected typical “your child will flock to whatever toy another child is playing with even though he has ignored it for the past 3 months” or “your child will inevitably be the only […]
