Today we had our first snow of 2011. We took advantage of the three inches of white stuff to play before the typical Seattle spoiling arrived to take it all away. Tweet

Suck Up and Sell

The other day I took a long look at my little house that is feeling so crowded. Yes, I’ve gone from me, two Chihuahuas and a cat to me, hubby, two kids and added hubby’s two cats. But we also added a bathroom and pushed the master bedroom out adding half as much more space […]

I took Sweetness and Mr. Man to the photographer yesterday and here are the fruits of our labors. I couldn’t resist sharing my thumbnails. We’re getting wall photos. Tweet

I’d been giving Mr. Man a bath in his baby tub in the bathtub, basically out of habit since Sweetness had a complete aversion of sinks (sinkophobia?). However, I’ve somehow contracted Caitlin’s lovely fever/crappy stuff which has made me feel really achey and, quite frankly, not the least bit interested in leaning over the tub. […]

98.6 is for Sissies

So I’m sitting at work, working away like a good little Umpa Lumpa, when I get a call from the nanny. “I thought I should call you because I’ve never seen this before. (Sweetness) is shivering hard and has blue lips. We were out playing. I washed her hands in warm water and have bundled […]
