Oh, Murray. You're Lucky I Love You So. (TWM: Ch 109)
Last night we were sitting around watching Entourage when Murray came stumbling out of our bedroom. Toby Joe looked down at him and said, “What’s that in his mouth?” When I put my hand up to his face I discovered a lot of moisture. Murray appeared to be foaming at the mouth. This has happened…

Slacker? Yes.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Please forgive me for not updating much lately. There’s a really good reason. I assure you. I will divulge more information at a later date, I promise. Naturally, I wasn’t able to bake anything as we’ve been away. So, Mom It Down may be postponed. (Unless you want…

Behold! The Box (TWM: Ch 108)
My husband had a book published with O Reilly and we were recently sent a box of them. I write “recently” but really that box arrived about a month ago, and like with most things we get in the mail, we left it in the middle of our foyer. By now everyone has probably heard…

Mom It Down! Chocolate Cupcakes With Vanilla Icing
We went to a barbeque over the weekend and I wanted to bring something unhealthy for the kids. I made cupcakes. I’ve made two different types of cupcakes in the past and I have to be honest with you, I wasn’t particularly blown away by the red velvet cupcakes. There was something about them that…

Now THAT'S A Giving Tree.
I promised yesterday that I’d get a picture of the vagina tree of McCarren Park. Thoughts on the matter? Usually there’s a great deal of vaginal adornment inside of it. But today it was empty. One big empty vagina tree. I reckon tonight, being a Friday and all, the tree will get some play. (I’ve…

One Of The Hazards Of The Job
Emory hasn’t ever been a very good sleeper. He’s great with napping, but nighttime is a different story. He hasn’t ever slept through the entire night. And I think we’ve tried everything. For whatever the reason may be, Toby Joe and I weren’t blessed with a sleeper. After two years we’ve just gotten used to…

My Boys (TWM Ch: 107)
Look at these two scheming, up to no good. Forgive me, things have been admittedly crazy around here lately. Everything should be back to normal within a day or two.

Joy O Designs
A friend of mine from way, way back when is a pretty amazing jewelry designer. Her creations have been worn by Eva Langoria, Anne Hathaway and Cameron Diaz. Impressive! Check it out. Her name is Joy. She lives in San Francisco. I went to college with her and her husband. (P.S. I’m hoping to link…

Graphic Designer Turned Mother.
Before I became a mother, I was a full time graphic designer. I love graphic design. I don’t get to do it much these days for obvious reasons, but someday I will return to it. There is nothing more exciting to me than identity design. Seriously. I could spend the rest of my working days…

Pets In Strollers? THAT'S CRAZY! (TWM Ch:106)
A couple of weeks ago, I saw a woman pushing a dog in a stroller and thought this: Since then, I have seen two more dogs in strollers. What’s going on with dogs in strollers? Who justifies spending the extra cash right now on a stroller designed specifically for a dog? I’m all for pet…
