Year: 2011

  • Best Of 2011: A Random List

    I don’t think I’ve ever done this before! Favorite Moment In Time I taped it. Only I didn’t know it would become a favorite moment. It was taken at 5 AM on February 21st, 2011. Toby and I were waiting for a car service that would take us to the hospital in order to welcome…

  • NYC Half.

    Today I found out that I didn’t make it into the NYC half marathon. I realize it’s a lottery and all, but I kind of had my heart set on it somehow. I was admittedly pretty crushed and started to feel that hint of depression I so often experience after the holidays and on into…

  • Babble’s Top 100 Mom Blogs

    Babble apparently reached the end of the Internet. After 11 years of writing, I’ve been named to Babble’s Top 100 Mom Blogs of 2011. I’m ranked 92. That means there are only 91 moms better than me on the entire Internet. OK. So, there are a few things that are kind of funny about this.…

  • The First Board.

    Em asked for three things this Christmas: “Spiderman stuff”, binoculars and a skateboard. I’m not sure what he has planned, exactly. I’m assuming it doesn’t entail dressing up like Spiderman, hitting the streets and peeping into windows. Not that I know anything about that. I prefer do my peeping from the comforts of our couch.…

  • The Chase Is On. (A Video)

    Remember this video from a couple of years ago? I have a new one in the same vein. Unfortunately, I cut off the end somehow, but this is how it goes every night lately around these parts. These are my boys: Here’s another one: Rest assured, Murray still gets to chase Em around as well.…

  • Elliot Has A Bath In The Kitchen Sink

    Isn’t he cute? I’m biased, it’s true. But I want to eat him every minute of every day. He’s now 9 months old! Why does time fly so fast after you have kids? SLOW DOWN, LIFE.

  • My Externship At Mast Brothers

    I’m not sure I mentioned this before, but I’ve been working at Mast Brothers for several months fulfilling the necessary 210 externship hours to finalize my pastry degree. It’s been a crazy awesome couple of months too. I’ve learned a great deal and met some fascinating, talented and hilarious people. But it’s also been a buttload…

  • Rise and Shine! Bacon!

    I finally did it, y’all. I made a bacon lollipop. It’s called Rise and Shine! It’s made with bacon bits. Come stop by!

  • The Penn State Thing

    I served Joe Paterno a grilled Sticky once. I worked as a waitress at The Diner. He came in one morning and sat at the counter. My coworkers excitedly pointed him out, “THAT’S JOE PATERNO! You have JoePa in your section!” “Yeah. So?” I scoffed. Back then, he was just a customer. I didn’t give…
