Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 58)
Em and Murray have breakfast together quite a bit. Murray begs for food and Em usually sneaks a couple pieces of pancakes, eggs, or waffles to Murray whenever I am not looking. It’s ridiculously cute how these two interact. Murray steals from Emory as well. But Em doesn’t seem to care. In fact, he cracks…

He's In Dirt. And I Don't Care.
I grew up playing with dirt. I grew up lifting rocks, collecting salamanders, crawfish and wooly bears. My nails and hands were always filthy. I was constantly outside digging and exploring the woods around our Central Pennsylvania home. I loved the outdoors, which is why I am really itching to get out of Brooklyn and…

Em's First Birthday Party.
We’re back in Brooklyn and this is a brief (stand-in) update. I was really excited to be back home until this morning when we went to McCarren Park and the smell of trash was so unbearable we had to leave. And up until about a month ago, I’d have thought, well, trash is just trash.…

One Year Old!
We made it! We survived! Happy birthday Emory! (i am in the process of writing a lengthy post about everything that happened this year, but I’m also planning a birthday party. When we return to the city, I’ll post more.)

The Best and Worst
Without further ado, I give you the best and the worst from items we purchased in August Oops! July. Are you ready? Awesome. Me too. The best thing I purchased this month was this stellar water bottle made by Camelbak. It’s BPA free. It comes in several different colors (and two sizes!) and you can…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 53)
The other day I was thinking about Schmitty. Schmitty was our 15-year-old cat who got cancer and died in a very short amount of time. Schmitty was chubby, loyal, beautiful and probably one of the sweetest creatures alive. We used to say that if there’s such thing as an 8-fold path, he was most certainly…

Confessions From A Mother
I’m amazed at how quickly Em is picking up new things and I constantly wonder where he’s getting these new ideas from. Sometimes I think I get it, and other times he just starts doing something and I’m left scratching my head, wondering if he’s keeping night hours elsewhere. They’re precise little human recorders, babies.…

The The Books.
I just finished The Girls (thank you, Fran!) and The Road. Both were fantastic. The Road is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read. It will haunt me until I’m dead and gone (or I become a babbling old person with a deteriorating memory). It was filled with such nightmarish imagery! It’s downright…

Tuesdays With Murray (Chapter 47)
After last week’s dramatic post about Murray and the future of this blog, I figured a video might be nice. This is a video of Emory (his hand, mainly) trying to help Murray lift his own leg so Murray can lick his neuticals. And Murray needs help in that department given the belly and all.…
