    The moment I heard about Maddie Spohr’s tragic death, I knew I had to do something. So, whenever Isabel Kallman of AlphaMom wrote on Twitter stating that she’d be walking for the March of Dimes in honor of Maddie, I decided to join her. It was completely out of character for me to do something like that.…

    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…

    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’m going back and forth regarding our decision to send Emory to school three days a week. My emotions aren’t to be trusted, however. Because a lot of how I’m feeling can easily be attributed to my fear of letting him go. But I know that some of my thoughts at the root of the…

    Today was the last day we had access to our old apartment, an apartment we lived in for four years. The picture below was taken the first few days we moved in, before our furniture arrived from San Francisco. Tobyjoe was hijacking the neighbor’s wireless network. That same network is open and available today. So…

    If you happen to see someone giving out the fake copy of The New York Times, I’d love it if you grabbed one for me. I’ll pay you in cupcakes, love and whatever else. No joke. Cupcakes. Homemade and awesome. The love is pretty awesome too. (Thanks to Gothamist for the heads up.)

    Here in New York we weren’t allowed to hit the polls early. I’m anticipating long lines tomorrow. I’m wondering how other stay-at-home-moms are doing it (or have done it). Do you have a story to tell? Ideas? Suggestions? I have to bring Em with me. And while I’m hoping he behaves himself as long as…

    American Express is cutting 7,000 jobs. Jobs are being slashed everywhere and that has me thinking… What would you do if you lost your job tomorrow? Do you have a savings? Do you have enough to cover six to ninth months worth of all your expenses? Would you be OK for a while? Would you…

    I had a professor in college whose job it seemed was to make every one of his students as stressed out and angry as possible. The night I was accepted into the Graphic Design program I got a phone call from one of the seniors. He said, “Congratulations! You will cry. You know that, right?…
