    Before I became a mother, I was a full time graphic designer. I love graphic design. I don’t get to do it much these days for obvious reasons, but someday I will return to it. There is nothing more exciting to me than identity design. Seriously. I could spend the rest of my working days…

    A couple of weeks ago, I saw a woman pushing a dog in a stroller and thought this: Since then, I have seen two more dogs in strollers. What’s going on with dogs in strollers? Who justifies spending the extra cash right now on a stroller designed specifically for a dog? I’m all for pet…

    We received the genetics report back from my doctor yesterday. I had been anticipating yesterday’s phone call since my D&C took place a month ago. I worried that the report would bring us results suggesting that I had done something wrong. (I think every parent thinks that.) I worried it might be something on Toby’s…

    It’s been four weeks since I had my D&C and four weeks, two days since they told me they could no longer find a heartbeat. And, get this: I’m still pregnant. My hCG levels are at 79. They dropped a measly 61 points over the last 7 days. I still have pregnancy symptoms, yet no…

    It’s been really hot lately, which means our outside time has been cut in half. Lately, I’ve been taking Emory out in the morning for a few hours and returning home before it gets too unbearable.

    Murray has a thing for paper towels. We have no idea why. It’s a mighty good thing it’s adorable otherwise we might stop him more often. But we can’t. I have decided that he does this because it comforts him, like maybe they used paper towels in his cage when he was a kitten? I…

    These puppies are sooooooo easy to make! I have a more advanced version of an oatmeal raisin cookie, but they’re more of a fall thing, so I’ll likely do those later on in the year. These guys are a bit lighter, so I figured, what the hey? Plus, my kid is coming down from a…
