halloweeney goodness

Happy Halloween! We’re not dressing up this year, unless you count the fact that Happy Fun Baby is wearing pumpkin-colored sweatpants. Oh, and I’m going as a frumpy housewife. It’s a costume. No really.
The blogosphere is, as expected, abuzz with seasonal goodness. In addition to seriously cute pictures of wee children in costume, I [...]

lack of creativity = weekend round-up

My creative muscle (which I think is located just below the base of my skull, if the headache is any indicator) has been stretched to the limit this weekend. Not only did I have the beginnings of a final project that kicked my ass all up and down the block, but we’re getting ready to [...]

We went out to Signal Station last night for dinner (so cute, and the pizza = quite good), and on the way home our kid walked two whole blocks by himself (holding either [...]

pseudo or otherwise

Ever since Not So got his Cold of Doom last month, I’ve had off-and-on sinus woes. This is nothing new. My sinuses are a sort of catch-all for any unpleasantness that enters my body. Allergies? Sinus headache. Cold? Sinus headache. I’m used to it. It’s relatively easy to deal with – just pop an Advil [...]
