Yo Gabba Gabba Birthday Cake
I made a Yo Gabba Gabba cake for little girl’s 3rd birthday. The family was really happy with the outcome. I had an absolute blast making it, although it was stressful at times. And there was one unfortunate incident involving Brobee (the green one). So below you’re seeing Brobee 2.0. But overall, it went really…

Throwback Thursday: A Series
I used to save ticket stubs. I started back in the early 1990s. I kept them in a ziplock baggie. I did this for over 15 years. I’m not sure why I stopped, but I did. Maybe it was when I started having kids and didn’t make it out as much. Either way, the ticket…

An Honest Giveaway. What’s Your Poison?
Hello, guys! It’s been a while. And I’m not sure anyone even visits here anymore. ::crickets:: But I made a promise to the only brand I’ll shill for, and so here goes. We are huge fans of Honest Kids Juices. So much so, we made them permanently available to our kids on our breakfast bar.…

Elliot Turns Four
Elliot turned four a couple of weeks ago. We decided to have a party for him and invited his entire class. Prior to this year, we’d only ever invited the immediate family. Anyway, last year, he wanted an Emmet cake. And so my massively pregnant ass made him an Emmet cake. This year, he wanted…

Quick Passing Thought.
“In today’s economy, when having both parents in the workforce is an economic necessity for many families, we need affordable, high-quality childcare more than ever. It’s not a nice-to-have — it’s a must-have. It’s time we stop treating childcare as a side issue, or a women’s issue, and treat it like the national economic priority…

Friends and Neighbors
We’ve lived in the suburbs for a little over a year. And it’s ok. I’d be lying if I said I loved it. The truth is, I miss living in the city. I miss it for so many reasons, and someday I hope to tackle them all, but today I’ll stick to one: friends and…

Santa: 2014
Try and imagine how much in the way of bribery it took to get Elliot into frame at all. OK, now double that.

New Year’s Resolutions
For the first time in my life I’m making a couple of New Year’s resolutions. I need to make some changes around here for the health of my brain. 1). I will no longer read news stories filled with tragedy and heartache. I’m done. I will not be clicking this type of link from my…
