My Son’s a Little Hottie

… ok, that’s misleading… Kenny IS adorable, and I have no doubt will one day be a “hottie,” but this current hotness is all about a little boy with a really high fever. Last night Kenny spiked a fever of 104.5.   He has never had a fever higher than 101.5 before.   Even this … Read more

Haute Mama

I don’t know about you other pregnant readers out there, but there is an absolute dirth of really well-made, well-fitting, affordable maternity clothes out there.   Unless you plan on existing solely in the cheaply-made polyester blends of most main stream maternity stores, you know that you have to shell out big bucks to look … Read more

Wild Boy in Training

It seems to me that for the past few days, Kenny has been working hard to stretch his little wings towards supreme rascal-hood.   If I say go, he stops.   If I say come here, he runs in the other direction.   90% of his antics are accompanied by giggles and mischievous looks, but … Read more

Memories

Yesterday Casey and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary!   We had a fantastic date night – dinner downtown and an overnight at a classy B&B.   It’s amazing how invigorating just a short trip away together (sans Kenny) can be.  I thought it would be fun to post a few pictures of Casey and … Read more

Dust and More Dust

I think that Casey and I are addicted to home improvement projects.   It seems as if every season, there is some reason to have a truck load of workers inside or outside of our house, making messes, making noise and making Dudley crazy. One advantage this time though, is that Kenny is more than … Read more

It’s All in the Timing…

Kenny and I were discussing Baboo’s impending arrival recently.   He asked, “When is he coming out?” “In a few more months!”  I said. “What’s a few more months?” “Soon.”   “After lunch?”   he asked. You’ve got to love little ones who live solely in the present tense!

Beware of Stinky Pizza

I just spent the last 24 hours in the hell of food poisoning.   I think it was a slice of pizza I grabbed at the mall on Friday afternoon… funny, because it tasted “fine” but at the time I remember thinking, “Hm.   This probably isn’t very fresh…”   By 1 in the morning, … Read more

Amazing (if not intentional) Belly Tricks

I have a distinct memory of being pregnant with Kenny – I had to be at least 8 months along – and sitting in a meeting with Casey about the renovation on our house, watching in astonished (and slightly embarrassed) awe as my belly started to move like there was an alien inside, aching to … Read more

I’d Like to Thank the Academy…

Seriously, I was surprised and honored to find out today that I was selected as one of “The 50 Best Mom Blogs”  on the parenting site Teens Today with Vanessa Van Petten.   (If you are a parent of a teenager (or a soon-to-be-teen), I recommend this site; Van Petten is relevant and hip and … Read more
