    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.…

    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.…

    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.…

    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.

    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…

    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…

    On Wednesday morning I cut myself doing the dishes. A glass exploded in my hand. I screamed a few obscenities (good thing Em was in school and Elliot doesn’t yet know much English) and then yelled for Toby. I have no clue what I would have done had he not been there. On most days,…

    (This might be the most boring post I’ve ever written. But I wanted to put it out there on the off chance another person is suffering as well.) I was 30 and living in San Francisco when I first wrote about it. I wrote about the razor rash on my legs. At the time I…

    Here is a shot of Em on Splash Mountain with my mom and dad. Of course we had to buy a copy because every time I see it, I laugh. But the kid is terrified. I mean, look at his face. Terror. Pure terror. When he saw the picture, he said, “What’s wrong with me?” Kid,…
