    We went to the Bronx Zoo on Saturday. I can’t put into words how awesome of a day we had. It was probably one of the best days of my life.  Here are a few pictures from our visit. We rode the insect merry-go-round. Em was fine at first, but it started to freak him…

    I know it isn’t really apple season, but I’m from Pennsylvania. Plus, I can’t think of too many smells more awesome than baking apples. This recipe is a two-parter, but don’t let that scare you. It’s really simply and each step can be broken up. What you will need: 2 -3 Ramekins (or something similar)…

    Happy Friday, my friends! Ready to help out a father in need? I got an email. It read (edited slightly):  “My 5-month old son is cutting 2 teeth and of course goes through bouts of being very unhappy. I was wondering if you gave anything to your son while he was teething? We’re flying from…

    This post was going to be about organic food and locavores both of which are growing trends here in America. Just last week, Michelle Obama planted an organic vegetable garden on the White House lawn – the first garden at the White House since the FDR administration. It seems that people are starting to care…

    I visited our local pet store recently to get Murray some vitamins. My hopes are to stifle whatever is that’s making him consume weird and dangerous plastic things. The owner there knows all about Murray. This last visit, she stopped me midway through my purchase and said, “I was thinking about you recently. I was…

    I discovered this recipe five or so years ago and I’ve been loosely following it ever since. These biscuits probably aren’t going to win any awards, but they sure do hit the spot! Clocking in at a 10 minute preparation and clean up time, you simply can’t beat the taste-time ratio. What You Will Need: Some type…

    I jog. I jog so I can eat cake. I’m not kidding.  I’m a slow, steady runner. I jog between an 11-minute mile and a 12-minute mile. I jog five times a week and I love it. But here’s the weird part: Sometimes I cry.  My friend, Heather Champ mentioned that she has emotional moments after a run…

    I sent out a Twitter yesterday mentioning we’re in the process of researching play kitchens. And almost every single person told me to get this one. So, unless someone tells us there’s an even better option out there, that’s the one we’ll be ordering. (Although, check this one out! Sometimes I have to remind myself that these toys…

    Today’s crowd-sourcing research topic is taken from a conversation I had with a couple of moms I know. It’s about sexual identity and our kids. Even the most open-minded parents find themselves caught up in whether or not their boys should be playing with toys designed and marketed to little girls. And I do think this…

    “Murray is small. We’re pretty sure he’s going to be tiny all his life”   It’s a good thing we don’t gamble. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 85 weeks! Granted, they haven’t been 85 consecutive weeks. I think I missed the Tuesday whenever I was giving birth. And I think I forgot…
