  • Elliot’s Turning Three And Everything Is Awesome

    Elliot turns three today. Since we celebrated with his classmates at school on Wednesday, we aren’t having a (friend) party for him at home; it’s just going to be family. So I am trying to make it very special for him. He requested an Emmet cake, so this is what I came up with. And…

  • Cord Tissue Banking

    Toby and I banked both Em and Elliot’s cord blood. We are very happy with this decision. I regularly receive letters from the organization we chose about medical breakthroughs and/or trials should one of our kids need the help. Thankfully, we haven’t had any medical issues with either of our boys. But you never know.…

  • The Blizzard Of 2014

    I went to Home Depot yesterday to get some trash bags and noticed almost everyone around me, save myself and the guy carrying a power drill, was buying the same thing: too many bags of salt and shovels that could arm an entire neighborhood. I found myself pondering: Why does someone need more than two…

  • The Powder Room! 99% DONE!

    Behold! We are finished! (Well, almost. The plumber needs to come back and re-caulk the sink because I made him take it down because it wasn’t 100% level and I am insane. And of course, when he removed it, we found that the sink itself was cast that way. So I’m stuck with it. Also:…
