  • Mom It Down! Whole Wheat Pumpkin Spice Muffins (Super Healthy!)

    OK, so here’s the skinny with this one, Toby Joe and I were kicking around over the weekend and wandered into a local eatery here called Urban Rustic. They sell local fruits, vegetables, sandwiches and baked goods. Toby Joe doesn’t like sweets, but on Saturday he was so hungry he settled for a muffin from…

  • Zong Heng and Bai Ci

    It’s my (little) brother’s birthday. He’s 30. I can’t believe he’s 30. Anyway, we can’t be with him today, but I wanted to wish him a great big happy birthday and maybe even embarrass him a little bit. Ryan has been doing this cute as hell project on Facebook. I’ll be completely honest, I don’t fully…

  • Post Miscarriage: 8 Weeks Later.

    It’s been 8 weeks since the D&C and miscarriage. I’ve received some email asking how things are going and I’m just now getting around to answering that question. Physically I’m (finally) no longer pregnant. It took a while as many of you suggested it might. And it was frustrating, more frustrating than I can possibly…

  • 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.
