    I’ve been making this bread for over five years. I’m not sure where I first picked up the recipe. If I could remember, I’d thank the person because it’s absolutely fantastic. And the variations come as easy as making the bread. You won’t be let down with this one. It’s really wonderful. Also, to the…

    Before Em was born, a very kind friend of mine purchased the Britax Roundabout for us. It has one of the highest safety ratings and customers seemed to love it. Check out how it was put to use before Emory was born. We used an infant car seat for the first couple of months. We…

    For the record, there’s a great deal of awesome about this neighborhood. For example, the water park at McCarren Park playground is absolutely incredible. I look forward to taking my son there. I haven’t seen so much collective joy on a group of children’s faces outside of Disney World. This was taken last August. These…

    If you miss TWM posts, please email me. I am trying to figure out if I’m making people sad by discontinuing his regular updates. I would hate to make people sad. :] So, I need your feedback. Update! TWM will return next week. You all have spoken. He is loved! Wow, is he ever loved!

    We live a few blocks from McCarren Park. I take Em to the playground there every single day. It’s often trashy, but the past couple of days have taken trashy to an entirely different level. Earlier today I wrote the following two posts on Twitter: The state of our playground the last 2 days has…

    First of all, thanks for responding about the Amish Friendship Bread starter. I was going to put that recipe up today, but I realized that the starter is not ready yet. (I’m on day 8 as I write this and it won’t be ready until day 12). That said, next week should be the week.…

    I really miss my cats. We’ve been away for almost a week and that’s far too long to go without scritching an animal. I still have no idea how people live without pets. None whatsoever. This picture was taken last week during bath time. Murray likes to watch Emory in the bathtub. I think he’s…

    My apologies for slacking so much with the ol’ blog here. We decided sort of last minute to head to the Jersey shore (my folks have a house near Long Beach Island). We were supposed to return to Brooklyn yesterday, but have decided to prolong our stay for another couple of days. I promise to…

    Much thanks to commenter Lillet for pointing these guys out to me. I read through their About Page and had tears in my eyes. What a great idea! I wish I could give all of these men a great big hug. All I can do from here is link to their Web site and hope…

    Forgive me ahead of time for not posting a Mom It Down today. I have had the flu for almost three days; eating has been difficult, baking and cooking even more so. I promise to do something awesome next week, assuming I’m not dead. Speaking of good health (or lack thereof), my question today is…
