    I always write these wordy Tuesdays With Murray posts. So I thought today I’d put up some pictures of the fuzzy feller instead. He’s just such a sweet boy. This is Murray. Here he is about to yawn. Here he is yawning. He really enjoys letting his balls or neuticles hang out in the afternoon…

    Amanda Peet gave an interview to Cookie Magazine recently. She discussed motherhood, toys and vaccinations. She’s imploring people to vaccinate and isn’t candy-coating her message at all. She tells Cookie Mag, “Frankly, I feel that parents who don’t vaccinate their children are parasites.” Zing! Snap! Zing! (She later apologized for the harsh delivery but stands…

    We’re back in Brooklyn and this is a brief (stand-in) update. I was really excited to be back home until this morning when we went to McCarren Park and the smell of trash was so unbearable we had to leave. And up until about a month ago, I’d have thought, well, trash is just trash.…

    We made it! We survived! Happy birthday Emory! (i am in the process of writing a lengthy post about everything that happened this year, but I’m also planning a birthday party. When we return to the city, I’ll post more.)

    I’m in South Jersey without my computer. You see, we’re having Em’s first birthday party at my parent’s house. They happen to have a backyard with some of the plushest green grass you’ve ever seen. Plus, they don’t have those viscous tiger mosquitoes that have taken over Brooklyn this year. If those bugs aren’t a…

    Without further ado, I give you the best and the worst from items we purchased in August Oops! July. Are you ready? Awesome. Me too. The best thing I purchased this month was this stellar water bottle made by Camelbak. It’s BPA free. It comes in several different colors (and two sizes!) and you can…

    Em isn’t feeling well. He’s come down with a cold. And I woke up with a sore throat today. We’re dead tired. I am shocked Toby made it to work in any reasonable form this morning. Em was up every hour all night long complaining and unable to breath. He’s really congested. We suctioned his…

    One of the cool things about Em getting older is we now get to watch Sesame Street. We watch Sesame Street every morning. And I’m constantly amazed at who they have on. My mother assures me that it’s been this way forever, but I guess I’d forgotten (or I didn’t know any better at the…

    The other day I was thinking about Schmitty. Schmitty was our 15-year-old cat who got cancer and died in a very short amount of time. Schmitty was chubby, loyal, beautiful and probably one of the sweetest creatures alive. We used to say that if there’s such thing as an 8-fold path, he was most certainly…

  • Learning To Sleep

    I started teaching Em how to sleep (or nap, rather) a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t follow a specific method but not because I didn’t want to. It’s because I’m too stubborn (or busy?) to read a 400 page book about how to get my baby to sleep. Publishers of the world: do you…
