  • Mia

    Mia has gone through some serious downfalls as of late. Things really, really aren’t going her way. Her mother has breast cancer. That’s an ongoing, serious problem she’s coping with as best she can. Problem is, her mom can’t seem to beat it. It just keeps coming back. And that gets her down. On September…

  • Mamapundit, Mindy Bizzell and Practicing Grace.

    I have been online for a long time. I am 38. I was a designer for over a decade. I spent years in front of a computer. I spent many late nights tooling around IRC, commenting on message boards. I had a blog in the mid-90s. I started this one in 2001. I have experienced…

  • And the winners are…

    Hey guys! As promised, here are the winners for last week’s lollipop giveaway. I had Toby Joe run a script to randomly pull three names from the comments section. So, without further ado, the winners are…. Amber H anca Milissa Thank you again, all of you, for helping me. I am so grateful. I’ve been…

  • Murray and I Thank You!

    I would like to thank you for rallying together on here, Facebook and on Twitter in order to help me get 250 votes for Mission Small Business. I surpassed that amount earlier this morning. I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am. If it weren’t for you guys, I never would have…

  • Elliot: Lucky 13. And Rescue Ink.

    Elliot is 13 months old today. These shots were taken outside of a Cracker Barrel while we were driving to DC. The tear is all drama. He’s doing his best Johnny Depp impression. An aside: while at the Cracker Barrel I ran into Des “The Cat Man” of Rescue Ink. I didn’t recognize him, but…

  • Best Of 2011: A Random List

    I don’t think I’ve ever done this before! Favorite Moment In Time I taped it. Only I didn’t know it would become a favorite moment. It was taken at 5 AM on February 21st, 2011. Toby and I were waiting for a car service that would take us to the hospital in order to welcome…

  • Babble’s Top 100 Mom Blogs

    Babble apparently reached the end of the Internet. After 11 years of writing, I’ve been named to Babble’s Top 100 Mom Blogs of 2011. I’m ranked 92. That means there are only 91 moms better than me on the entire Internet. OK. So, there are a few things that are kind of funny about this.…

  • My Externship At Mast Brothers

    I’m not sure I mentioned this before, but I’ve been working at Mast Brothers for several months fulfilling the necessary 210 externship hours to finalize my pastry degree. It’s been a crazy awesome couple of months too. I’ve learned a great deal and met some fascinating, talented and hilarious people. But it’s also been a buttload…

  • That F*cking Weird Kid

    It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Emory started school last week and there’s been some adjusting on my part to the new routine. He’s going to the same school, but it’s at another location. And that location is a wee bit further away. So, it’s been a bit of a change. Plus, my big…

  • Boga Babe

    One of my favorite people in the whole world has an amazing shop on Etsy. And I want to share it with as many people as possible. Her name is Dianne and she and I have yet to meet. Yet I feel like I’ve known her forever. I can’t explain it. I won’t try to.…
