Mom It Down! Quick Rosemary Dinner Rolls
These dinner rolls have a touch of sweet, a touch of spice and a touch of homemade goodness. They’re relatively quick to make (for yeast rolls) and quite easy as well. These rolls will go with just about anything and although I refer to them as “dinner rolls” they work pretty well with breakfast as…

NaBloPoMo: ING NYC Marathon
Today is the first day of National Blog Posting Month. What does that mean? That means I’m going to try and write every single day in the month of November. I tried to do this once before (right after Emory was born) and I completed all but one day. This year I’m shooting for all…

Wanna See My Kid Eat Dirt?
Friends of ours visited last weekend. We met them for brunch and then we hit the playground because that’s what all the cool kids do after brunch. While there, something came over my son. I’m not sure if he was trying to show off for Gayla or what. But he started to imitate Cookie Monster.…

Motherf*lter: Medela Nursing Bra. My Cool Shoes. Naturepedic Sheets.
Edited to Add: Due to a manufacturing issue Medela discontinued the distribution of the Jacquard and Microfiber Seamless Nursing Bras. On Boobs. A few weeks ago, Medela sent me a nursing bra. You see, I’m supposed to be 6 months pregnant at the moment, so sending me a nursing bra to review made sense. I thought about…

Who's Been Sleeping In Em's Bed? (TWM: Ch 113)
When we got back from Florida I noticed that Em’s bed was COVERED in dark cat hair. Pookum is white (with a few brown spots) and Tucker is orange, so I knew it had to be Murray. The thing is, I haven’t seen Murray snuggle up in Em’s crib since they were both babies. So,…

New York City (Die Cut) Map
Check out this awesome map of New York City made up entirely of die cuts. I wonder how one might display this. If you frame it, it kind of kills how awesome it is. Suspended from the ceiling? Anyway, it’s amazing.

Mom It Down! Spelt Crackers
These crackers are made from spelt flour, so I reckon they’re even gluten free. The time and money invested in this recipe is absurdly little. Gone are the days I drop 5 bucks for a box of organic crackers. These are perfect for kids! They’re also super healthy. What You Will Need Standard Cookie Sheet…

Disappearing Hallway Cats (TWM: Ch 112)
Murray and Tucker like visiting the hallway of our apartment building. We have no idea why. But every time the door opens the two of them make a break for it. Normally, we herd them back into the apartment right away. Sometimes I let them wander a bit longer, but never for too long. I…

Mom It Down! Halloween Cookies: Skull & Crossbones, Black Cats
I love Halloween. Actually, I love every holiday but there’s just something about Halloween. Perhaps it’s the time of year? The fact that you get to be someone else for a day? I don’t know. But some of my most fond memories take place right around Halloween. And to this day I’m unable to sit…

On Mississippi and the Murder of a Pregnant Woman
I read this article on CNN this morning and I’m left pondering something about Mississippi’s law regarding murdering a pregnant woman and being charged for two murders. If the murder victim was not yet visibly pregnant and the killer had no idea the woman was pregnant, does that still count as taking two lives in terms…
