Dear Sudafed and your generic friends, I didn’t realize until this weekend how much I have missed you. I haven’t used you since you became so difficult to ascertain, thanks to your horrific aiding of illicit drug makers. That, coupled with the fact that I haven’t had sinus problems since I gave birth. However, something […]
Blushingly Crazy Odds.
I’ve got one of my favorite posts up at 5 Minutes for Parenting today. Be sure to visit and check it out! In a metropolitan area of 1.1 million people, what are the chances of seeing the same complete stranger twice in the period of two weeks? And at two different places? Well, it happened… […]
A Rooty Tooty Itchy Chin.
I am sitting here typing with an extraordinarily itchy chin, but with no way to stop the itching. Why? Because I had the pleasure of getting a root canal this morning, and I suppose the numbness is starting to wear off. OH it itches. My dentist referred to my procedure as a “Rooty Tooty”, making […]
A Tale of Two Tessas?
This morning I had a double baby shower at my house for Lindsay (my sister-in-law) and Ashley (AJ’s Mommy). But before I share pictures, I must give some background to the title. A while back when JC and Lindsay were pregnant with Eli, they had gone out to dinner with David and Ashley and had […]
My Day as a STAY AT HOME Mom. And Other Randomness.
Several of my friends have been discussing the virtues of actually staying HOME, hosted by Rachel G. I have to admit, I don’t stay home all day very often. Actually, pretty much NEVER. But yesterday, we were getting our carpets cleaned (Ali was very relieved and excited that we were getting her “food” (aka puke) […]

Many Mini Valentiners
We had a Valentine Card Making Party for toddlers at our house today. I aprepared for complete and utter mass chaos, but it went very well! . There were 8 toddlers from 1-4 years old, 5 Mommies, and at least 56,782 foam stickers, most of which miraculously stayed on the table or on the cards. […]
The Chronicles of Friday
I started out my day today with the help of my alter-ego, my sleep-walking/talking/acting self. I somehow managed to dial the intricate code to get our alarm clock to turn off in my sleep, which is something I have trouble doing half the time when I’m awake. I don’t know why our alarm clock befuddles […]
The Adventures of Just Us Girls
Last night was Girl’s Night Out!! Pre-Blog Rachel would be saying about now, “I don’t know HOW LONG it’s been since I went on girl’s night out!”. But, since I am a true blue blogger now, I have the easy reference of looking back and finding out that the last time I went on a […]
Admiration and Bogeys.
On Thursday, we kept Abby for a little while. Abby is three and a half, and so Ali was quite excited about having a “big kid” come and play. She was totally in awe. She kept pointing at her and saying “Abbbby”, in this dreamy-I-am-so-lucky-to-know-you sort of way. One time she poked Abby’s shirt when […]
