  • Mom It Down: Whole Wheat Bread

    Our new apartment has a pretty great kitchen. Especially when one compares it to the previous kitchen. As a result, we bake and cook at home more, which includes my baking all of our bread.  Up until recently, I never quite found the right recipe. The consistency was off (especially when it came to making…

  • My Son Loves The Vacuum.

    I have no idea how this happened, but Em loves the vacuum. He treats it like a pet. He requests I take it out of the closet at least once per day, which is kind of sad considering he might think we keep a pet in the closet. He likes the Dyson so much, he…

  • FOWAH POWAH!

    One of Em’s first ever words was “flower” only it sounds more like “fowah”.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a book we’re reading, a TV show we’re watching, or an advertisement we pass by, he will find that damn flower, or anything that looks like a flower, and he’ll let you know about it. “FOWAH!…

  • New Site Stuff

    I’m sure that by now you’ve noticed some changes taking place around here. We’re currently in the process of optimizing this Web site, making changes to the layout, design, and overall identity, etc.  Please let us know if there are any bugs. More changes are going to come over the weekend (including adding in some…

  • Japanese Design A Virtual Rape Game

    This one goes out to all the mommy bloggers out there looking for something to get riled up about. Let me to introduce you to the Japanese video game called Rapeplay where the main goal is to gang rape virtual women and then force them to have abortions. As a mother, no, as a human…

  • File This Under: Inappropriate Children's Book Illustrations

    Back in 2005 when the pope was dying, I wanted to capture the historical event on film. It was a rainy, chilly day, so I decided to rest on a pew inside Saint Patricks Cathedral for a bit. While there, I saw this peeking out from the top of a hymnal book. Now, I saw…

  • Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 82)

    It’s been over a week since Murray’s second surgery. He seems to be doing well, but he’s still doing his fair share of weird things. For some reason he keeps licking the inside of our skillets. And sometimes I’ll catch him in the kitchen sink licking the concrete right where it connects to the metal…

  • Astra Taylor: Examined Life

    We’re dealing with an extremely sick baby (again). I haven’t had time to shower let alone write anything (but had every intention on doing so!) Anyway, I stole a minute and wanted to pass along a very special link. Our friend, Astra, was in the New York Times this weekend! Read all about it here.…

  • Vaccination Schedule and Some Personal Thoughts

    I have received several emails requesting information about vaccinations and how we spaced them out for Emory. Today I’m (finally) putting together a post about it. I’m also going to talk about what I’d change should we ever go about this again. Let me just begin by stating that I’m pro-vaccination, but I haven’t always…

  • Abby Needs Your Help!

    I get a number of email about cats. Some people ask me questions about their cats that I wish I had the answers to because I do so love these creatures. I am by no means an expert in this area. I just have a deep fondness for them. The latest email I received is…
