new look, new name

Huge thanks to NapWarden for my spiffy new look. Pop on over there. Say hello and wish her luck with the marathon on Saturday. How she managed to fit in my makeover with her training I will never know. 

You’ll also notice “three dogs and a baby” has finally been replaced. We haven’t been three dogs [...]

there was a post in here somewhere

Since I seem to have, um, misplaced (in my brain) the post I had planned today, here’s what is going on:

After no poop for 72 hours, we have ignition. In the potty even. Three times! There’s still lots of “I’m not feeling well” associated with the poop, but I think we’re making progress. Oliver woke [...]

a t-shirt, a book, and some toilet cleaner

Now that Oliver has stopped barfing, we can move on to far more important issues, like my biggest pet peeve with blogs….giveaways that really are not. Maybe the bloggers mean well. I would like to think they do. But regardless of their intentions, it fries my bacon (ahem) when the goods never materialize. Unfortunately, I [...]

that time of year

You know the time…when everyone is packing for BlogHer but you. Two years ago it very nearly overlapped with WWDC. That would have been amazing. CD, Oliver and me all in San Francisco. The adults enjoying hanging with their peeps (or in my case, the women I wish were my peeps) and Oliver meeting some [...]

pry-va-see or pri-va-see

You say to-mah-toe, or just mah-toe if you are Oliver. (Look here for more on British vs American pronunciation differences.)

Anyway, thanks to a wsj blog entry about blogging your kids’ lives in (sometimes excruciating) detail, blogging and family privacy has been a hot topic this week all over the blogosphere. Most of the commenters on the WSJ blog [...]

two days late

I’m two days late on my three year blogiversary. I thought about it a couple of weeks ago, but didn’t bother looking up the exact date. Then tonight, while looking up the details of Oliver’s experience with hand, foot and mouth disease for another blogger who is dealing with it, while trying not to compare [...]

unearned hangover

In spite of not drinking anything but fizzy water and decaf last night*, I have felt hungover all day. Kids got up way too early. Then we had a crazy double-bill of a birthday party in the park. After naps (a rare two-fer) I dragged kids, one of them exceedingly grumpy, to a playground. After much [...]

It’s the blogging ‘burgh moms!

This was before burghbaby’s mom ate a piece of carrot cake bigger than her head.

it only took six months

I’m just another mommy blogger, raking in the cash.

toile backsplash

If not for referencing the toile fabric I used in Eleanor’s room, or the slate backsplash in my kitchen, no one would ever visit my blog. Those, and the quilted stainless steel backsplash I wanted instead of the slate. People also find me by searching for “baby dogs” and “dogs having babies”. I have a [...]
