    Taken at the same time today, same minute, same everything. Two of the boys I share my days with. The runny nose should explain why I don’t have more to offer you in the way of Murray today. I’m so tired. Plus, I’ve been puked on four times.

    Toby and I are less than one month away from a would-be due date. This date has sat tucked away, safely in the basement of my mind for a while now. But it occurred to me yesterday, as one of my closest friends gets ready to welcome her new baby into the world, that my…

    I have a recipe for today but I don’t think I can give it the time it deserves, so I am going to save it until next week. Emory is quite ill. The fevers are back. Last year he suffered from fevers that brought with them Febrile seizures. That duo seems to be making an encore presentation…

    I have a post in the works about the end of what I consider to be one of the worst years of my life. (It’s not even a downer! Can you believe that?) It appears I won’t have it done in time, and I really want to take a minute to wish you all a…

    We celebrated Christmas at grandma and grandpa’s house this year. It was sort of a last minute decision so my brother emailed Santa personally letting him know that Emory would be in New Jersey instead of Brooklyn. It’s true. My brother Ryan told Emory this two days before xmas. He said, “Don’t worry, Emory. I…

    If all things go according to plan, I’m going to start selling a few of my baked goods at a local business here in Brooklyn. It’s not going to be much, but I’m excited. I love baking but I need people to eat all of this stuff! So, this works out really well for me…

    Today is Tuesdays With Murray, which means I’m supposed be writing about Murray. And I have a story to share. But Internet? It’s been a really rough four days and my brain is out of batteries. You see, Toby and I decided (out of nowhere) that we were going to take away the bappy. Y’all…

    Cheesecake is tricky. But when it’s good, it’s worth the frustration. Cheesecake can crack, cave in, or just taste bad. And even when you think you’ve got it figured out, someone tells you they prefer New York style over the Italian variety or vice versa. Maybe they don’t like it baked, and someone else hates…

    I watched this video today and realized that from an outsider’s point of view, it’s a little sad. Hell, it even makes me a little sad and I know the truth, which is that 9 times out of 10, Emory wants Murray to do something and Murray does it and everyone is happy. But then…

    Last week, Emory and I had fun with flour. We made christmas tree ornaments! I hadn’t done this since I was a kid, so my skills were rusty at best. But, boy was it ever fun! I know this recipe isn’t edible, but if you’re anything like me, you’re looking for ways to amuse a…
