  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 33)

    Murray has made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t want us having anymore kids. He doesn’t outwardly dislike Emory. As a matter of fact, he and Emory have teamed up a few times to ransack the place. I don’t think he’s particularly upset with Emory on a personal level. I think he’s just really annoyed…

  • Emory

    The single most awesome photograph ever. OK, well, maybe not ever, but definitely of Emory. Edited to add: OK, so tonight Emory decided to pick a fight with The Economist. Emory won with Murray’s help, of course. So, this shot comes in close second to the one above.

  • Babies in Brooklyn Bars

    A couple of weeks ago, one my favorite (local) community Web sites posted a story about a bar in Park Slope. (For those living outside of NYC and Brooklyn, Park Slope is an area that many well-off, new parents have annexed. It’s relatively safe, it’s unbelievably expensive, and it’s the most impossible place on the…

  • Artificial Sweeteners.

    The New York Times released an article about how metabolic syndrome is tied to diet soda. We don’t drink much soda in our house, not that I have anything against it, really. I was just never much of a soda drinker. (Well, besides something called Wink. Do you remember Wink? That’s what given from time…

  • Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 32)

    A few weeks ago, I wrote a post entitled Waging War Against Bisphenol A. It’s in reference to how TobyJoe and I are cutting down on the amount of plastic we use. It led us to purchase these pacifiers from Zoe B. Emory enjoys a good pacifier every now and again. I didn’t expect Emory…

  • Stuff You Should See

    I’m addicted to Etsy. I have spent over a hundred dollars on Etsy since last Tuesday. I love it. Speaking of Etsy, you should check out Jerusha’s baby sweaters. Emory wears one all the time. They are incredibly well made and one of a kind. (Take that, Baby Gap!) They make excellent presents. I think…

  • Carrot Poop.

    Emory is six months old today. I can’t believe it’s been six months already! He’s such a big boy. He’s changed so much. Granted, we’ve changed as well, probably even more so than Emory. Toby has definitely changed. When I married Toby, he couldn’t even mention the word poop let alone clean it off of…

  • Race Appeal Vs. Sex Appeal

    My heart goes out to the people living in Tennessee and Arkansas. I can’t even begin to imagine the horror some have had to endure over the last 24 hours. What was supposed to be a great day where politics was concerned ended up being a worse nightmare for many living down south. TobyJoe and…

  • Tuesdays with Murray (Chapter 31)

    Putting the Super in Tuesday. (Poster was originally designed by this person. I think.)

  • Punctuation.

    I’m still having medical issues and they still haven’t been worked out. In time, I hope that a doctor will be able to help me. I’m currently sorting this out on my own. It’s been hard. I do not trust my emotions right now to know what’s coming or going. I do not know what’s…
